DEsTITUTIoy IN PORTO RICO.
Over 100000 of the Natives without
Bread and Meat.

Gen. Roy Stone and the members of the
executive committee of the National Red
Cross called upon the President yesterday
to lay before him a plan for the relief of
some of the restitution in Porto Rico. Over
100000 of the natives, according to the
Porto Rtcan commissioners, Messrs. HenEa
and Gaudia, have been without bread and
meat for six weeks, and are on the verge
of starvation. Gen. Fred D. Grant has re-
ported thirty mine deaths from starvation
in single province. The aid which the
military authorities in Porto Rico were able
to give the natives in the way of distribu-
ton of rations and employment on the
roads has been greatly reduced since the
free distribution of rations was suspended,
and some of the Porto Rican planters and
merchants have devised a scheme which
they believe will afford much relief to tn.
destitute, and at the same time serve them
by introducing Porto Rican goods in Ameri-
can markets.
The price of coffee in Porto Rico is very
low on account of the large crop in Brazil
and they offer to contribute large amount
to be sold in this country through the

ALL HOSTILE BUT ENGLAND.
Capt. COShlan's View on Foreign Ma
tions During the War.

The current number of the Independent
contains an article by Capt. Coghlan of the
Raleigh, in which he says that the Spanish
war showed that all the European nations
except England were unfriendly to the
United States. The article is headed Eng
fish Good Will" In it Capt. Coghland dis
cusses the actions of the German admiral
at Manila bay, and says he does not believe
the Germans meant fight The article
describes the friendly expressions of the
English officers and residents of Hong
Kong, the former apparently envying the
Americans because the latter were to have
the first chance to fight.
Il do not know" Capt Coghlan con-
tinues, whether Admiral Chichester. the
British commander at Manila told Admiral
Diedrichs that no one but Dewey knew
what the British feet would do in case Ma
Mia was bombarded. That was the rumor,
a any rate.
But the Germans certainly did give us
some anxiety, while the attitude of the
English saved us from much trouble 1 do
not, however, believe that the Germans
meant fight.
The French ships were polite enough.
but the French papers in Asia simply
frothed at the mouth when they spoke of
US. They did nothing but blackguard US
after the battle of Manila, calling us bull
les, cutthroats robbers Previous 10 the
battle OF Manila We had been towards and
men without discipline. who would be very
easily put to rout by the Spaniards The
japanese seemed to be very friendly"
After describing the friendly relations at
every British port on the Raleigh's way
home. Capt. CoghFan says:
This war showed us that all the great
European nations were unfriendly, with the
single exception of England, and it also, L
'beheve opened England's eyes to our
prowess and our possible mission and de-
velopment''

Commander of H. NJ. s. Archer UndOes
Work of FflfpinOs.

The steamship Empress OF China, lately
arrived at Vancouver, B. c., brings Hong
Kong papers giving the following particu-
lars relative to the natives of Paiawan
hosting the British flag over that island:
H NJ. S. Archer, which left Singapore
suddenly early on the morning of Febru-
airy 26 under sealed orders, returned yester-
day. Her orders were received from home
by telegraph, and they We're to the effect
that she was to proceed as quickly as pos
sihe to Palawan, where. it was stated, the
British flag had been hoisted by the ma
tives. The Archers mission was to haul it
down. On her arrival off a small settle
ment on the Palawan coast the British red
ensign was seen to be Floating.
The ship had not been at anchor any
length of time before several Filipinos
came aboard and had an interview with
Commander Dare. He.informed them that
ne had been instructed to take the flag
down. The inhabitants of the town had
hoisted the flag because they thought it
might AFFORD them protection from bands
OF brlgands who We're ensconsed in the
hills
The Filipino~sG eput a ton made ii clear
that they had not heard that the island of
Paiawan had been ceded by Spain to the
lsed that the flag should be lowered When
they returned to the shore the ensign was
pulled down.
The brfgands who field the hills at the
rear OF the settlements caused the inhabi-
tants a great deal of annoyance. but their
oepredations bad been considerably les
sened since the Brittsh ensign had been
hastily retired. There were no Europeans
in the place."

Booker II. Washington Thinks Educa-

Booker T. Washington. founder and prin-
cipal of the Tuskegee Normal and Indus
trial Institute, in Alabama, arrived in Phil
adelphia yesterday. Regarding the Georgia
lynchngs he said:
Il would like to speak at length upon
these Georgia occurrences and others of a
like nature which have taken place in re-
cent years, but in view of my position and
hopes in the interest of the Tus6egee Insti-
tute in Alabama and the education of our
people, l am constrained to keep silent
and not engage in any controversy that
might react upon the work to which I am
now lending my efforts.
Il think l can be of more service to the
race by giving my time and strength in
helping to lay the foundation for an educa-
ton which Wsll be the permanent cure for
such outrages.
Il do not mind adding" said the speaker
that ]. am opposed to mob violence under
all circumstances. Those guilty of crime
should be surely, swiftly and terribly pun
ished, but by legal methods. AS a rule the
men guilty of these outrages are ignorant
individuals who have had no opportunity
to secure an education and moral restraint
The solution of our present difficulties
is to be found In the thorough mental re-
ligious and Industrial education of both
races In the south. 1t is an encouraging
fact to note that of the hundreds of col
ored men who have been educated In the
higher institutions of the south not one
has been guilty of the crime of assaulting
a woman"

After fording the river, the South Dakc-
