FEWER TROOPS IN PORTO RICO.
The War Department Will Reduce
the Number to 5000.

The War Department authorities have
decided to make a material reduction in
the military strength in Porto Rico, and
are now considering the question of the
best mears of accomplishing It. There are
now about 5000 regular troops on the ISL
and and it is believed that not more than
5000 are needed there any longer for the
peaceful maintenance of the provisional
military government successfully establish
ed there by Gen. Guy V. Henry. the mil
itary governor. Although not finally set
tied, it is more than likely that the 11th
Infantry and two or more batteries of the
7th Artillery will be relieved from further
duty in Porto Rico and brought to the
United States, where there is more urgent
need of their services, especially in the
protection and preservation of the costly
coast batteries established during the war
with Spain.

FIGHT ON THE BEEF TRUST.
New York Retailers Trying to For
Rival Examination.


Rival Organization.
The New York Herald Of today says:
Despite the threat Of the beef trust to
corner all of the available cattle in the
west the eastern retail butchers who have
decided to fight the trust went right ahead
with their plans yesterday.
Those in charge of the fight in this city
said there was no doubt that the plan, in
so far as 1t relates to New York, at least,
would be put through during the present
year. The subscriptions Of 100000 for
building Independent slaughter houses here
were considerably increased yesterday, and
many of the retailers stand ready to take
more shares If 1t is decided to allow any
one person to hold more than twenty
shares.
Whether this limit will be raised will de-
pend upon the proposed visit Of the retail
ers committee to John D. Rockefeller.
1t was said at the office of Mr.. Rockefeller
in lower Broadway yesterday that there
was no truth in the report that he would be
one Of the hackers Of the antitrust move
ment. Mr.. Rockefeller's secretary said that
the man who told the retail butchers Mr..
Rockefeller would aid them did not speak
with authority.
The promoters Of the antitrust fight con-
tinued to be mysterious as to the identity
of the other capitalists who are said to be
interested in the fight.
Retailers in Brooklyn will hold meeting
tonight to discuss plans for joining in the
antitrust fight and to raise the prices of
meat in that borough.
Louis Wagner, president Of the New York
Retail Butchers Association. said that the
plan to establish an Independent system
was progressing finely, and that he would
call special meeting of the association for
next Tuesday night to hear the report of
the special committee.
Mr.. Wagner said he was not at all dis
turbed by the statement that the big
Five threatened to corner all of the beef
in the west.
Mr.. Wagner. when asked why capitalists
like Mr.. Rockefeller might back the anti
trust movement. said there was no question
but that big profits could be made after
prices to the public had been put back to
the old figures.
