THE NrKDa OF Porto RICo.
Important Conference in Warrington
Roots Appeal to Governors.


wAsH1NoToN Aug. 1.-THE members Of the
Porto Rican Commission and several other Of
fcials Interested In Porto Rican affairs met
Secretary Root day and discussed with him
the emergency arising from the recent storm
and the general policy OF the administration In
the Island The com mission will soon submit to
the Secretary the draft OF the laws prepared
for the governm Ont OF Porto Rico. These laws
are based on the old Spanish system, such
changes having been made as TO make them
accord with American principles and methods
Of government.
Secretary Root to-day sent out the following
appeal to the Governors Of the States:
Dear Sir: enclose herewith copies OF two
telegraphic dispatches received last evening
from the Governor General OF Porto Rico. by
which II appears that the devastation
wrought by the recent hurricane In that
island Is even greater than was at
first supposed. 1t is evident that great null
titude OF people rendered utterly destitute by
this awful calamity must be fed and cared for
during a considerable period. until they can
have the opportunity to produce food for them
selves. Enormous quantities OF supplies OF the
kinds Indicated by the Governor General must
be procured
1.-THE magnitude OF the work to be accom-
plishcd leads this department to supplement
the appeal already made to the Mayors OF the
principal cities OF the country. by a more gem
cral appeal. and beg to ask the people OF your
state to contribute generously to the relief OF
the people Of Porto Rico.
S"Swift steamers have been secured to leave
the port OF New York to carry the supplies
directly to Porto Rico rapidly as they can
be collected Contributions should be either
in supplies of the character indicated
or in money in order that the supplies
can lie purchased. The supplies
should be sent to Col. F. b. Jones' Army
Building foot OF Whitehall street. New York
City. in packages plainly marked Porto Rican
Relief and he should be consulted as to the
time Of shipment. Money should be sent to
the National Bank OF North America. New
York city. which has been designated as de-
pensitory for the Relief fund. Very respect
fully.
