CUBA AND PORTO RIO.
Circular Of Instructions to Diplomatic
and Consular cffoers.

The Secretary Of State has issued a
circular letter Of instructions to United
States diplomatic and consular officers
in regard to the status Of the native in
habitants of Cuba and Porto Rico, in
which circular he says in part
while the native inhabitants of
Cuba have effectively ceased to be the
subjects Of Spain, they have not acquired
distinct status either independent or
dependent upon the United States as
custodian of the territory. They are not
citizens of the United States, nor can
any scheme of provisional registration
be adopted with view to such a con-
tingency They may, however, during
the interregnum, when temporarily
s,journing in foreign country. be
protected through the exercise Of good
offices by the representatives Of the
United States in ease Of need, upon due
establishment of their nativity, and cI
their merely temporary absence from
Cuba and intention to return to and
permanently reside in that island.
"As to the status of the native in
habitants of Porto Rico and the is
lands adjacent thereto which have been
ceded to the United States, the Con-
gress has not yet legislated with regard
to their civil and political rights, so
that even as respects the native in
habitants residing in that island there
is no present fornality or procedure
provided for the attestatiOn OF their
citizenship but in the interim every
bona llde citizen of the ceded islands is
entitled 70 the protection Of the United
States as against every foreign govern
ment.
Under these circumstances the diplo-
matte and consular officers Of the
United States in foreign countries are
authorized to register in their legations
and cOnsulates as such the names OF
native inhabitants of Cuba and Porto
Rico who may be temporarily sojourn-
ing within their jurisdiction and to
exercise good offices for the protection
of such native Cubars and Porto
Ricans as may seek it for some we'll
established cause.
"They will give official protection to
native Porto Ricans SO registered in all
matters where citizen of the United
States similarly situated would be en-.
titled thereto, being careful to have it
appear that they are protected
as native inhabitants Of Porto
Rico and not as citizens of the United
States "
Attention is directed to the fact that
the treaty Of peace with Spain provides
that Spanish subjects, natives Of the
peninsula, who remain in the relin-
quished territory, may preserve their
allegiance to the Spanish crown by
making a declaration Of such intention
before court Of record within a year
after the exchange of ratifications Of the
treaty.
Referring again to Porto Rico, the
circular says:
Actual residence within the ceded
territory at the time of the cession and
during one year thereafter is, under the
treaty, required to establish the adop-
tion of the nationality in such ceded
territory"
The issuance of any paper having
constructively the effect Of q passport is
prohibited, but diplomatic aud consular
officers are authorized to wise passports
In the nature of proofs OF nativity.

Beware OF the slandereT. Every city,
town or village is afflicted to more or
less degree with people who are unfor-
tunately possessed Of this vice. They
are as cunning about in as the lowest
reptile and as treacherous as cat,
They meet the prey they have injured
or sought to injure and purr around
them in the guise of friendship, and
the moment they are out of their sight
they are ready to sink their claws.
They commence by little insinuations
and hearsays, they are too shrewd ever
to commit themselves: it was some
body else that whispered the SANDER
that they have contrived to carry here
and there. The breath of suspicion
must never attach to them and they
go on quietly gliding here and there
whispering. "Have you heard so and
so about this one, that one and the
other one" For mercy sake do not
connect me with ii, don't mention my
name, but that's what heard and
thought you ought to be warned"
This wretched creature, the SIAN
derer, never takes the pains to find
out whether tho assertion is based on
truth or not, but tries his utmost to
fan the feeble spark of SANDER into a
conllay ration, scathing and merclless,
that blasts the happiness of the limo
cent victim and leaves them too be-
wildered to know which way to turn
or how to defend themselves from the
calumny of the vile, Shiny slanderer,
who will accept any kindness they can
render and secretly revile them for it
afterward, and if they do their victims
a kindness under the guise Of friend
ship, make use of it to accomplish
their undoing. Il ely will appear to
be their friends to gather points that
they can whisper to others to create
an unfavorable impression, and il
there is q skeleton in your home and
the slande er can find it out, be as
sured that they will never rest until
they have confded it to others who
will keep the ball rolling. They make
it point never to tell Of the true
, beautiful acts or deeds that would re
dound to their credit-that is not tn,
/ mission of the slanderer. They arr
like vultures. 1t is the carrion ant
the unclean they seek that insure
misery. The pure and the good ar
strangers to them. One slanderer il
community, creeping about like
thief in the night, can create NOR
unhappiness and misery than reg
ment Of sincere people who make thu
mistake of hurting out whatever come
into their minds. They will endeavo
to undo the mischief they have crea
ted. The slanderer takes the thistl
head and blows the downy slande
points to the four winds Of heaven AM
glories in the fact that they have gon
beyond recall.--lnyo Register.

Trouble at Pine.

Within a year ago, Mrs. Franc
Kent Hanique bonded the Conquest
Quartz claim at Pine Grove to J..
NJ. Ratallic. the bond giving Mr..
Ratallic the right to the possession
and working of the ground during
its continuance. On Saturday, as
Mr.. Ratallic alleges, he with John
Drane and VIM. Wills, went to the
ground for the purpose of doing de-
velopement work on the claim, but
on reaching the ground were ordered
off at the point of a gun by John
Silverton, who said that he was
holding the claim for Mrs. Hanique,
aid that he would kill the first man
entering the premises.
Shortly after, Mr.. Ratallic was
informed that Mrs. Hanique had
neglected to do the assessment work
required by law, and that the claim
could be relocated. Mr.. Ratallic,
hearing this, in order to protect him
self and be secured for the money
he paid on the bond, then directed
one of the men with him to relocate
the ground, subject to the legal sta
tus of the claim, which was done by
Mr.. Drane that evening, Shortly
after, four men met Mr.. Drane and
threatened to injure him or any
other person who would 60 on the
ground, and ordered him to pull up
the stakes.
Mr.. Ratallic came to this place
Sunday and swore out an informa-
ton against Mrs. Hanique, John
Silverton, Joe Cannon, VIM. Dren.
ton, Robert Graft and Amador Ga
Undo, before Judge Swan, charging
the defendants with threatening to
murder or do other injury. Tuesday
Sheriff O'Neill went to the Grove
after the parties, armed with a v ar
rant Of arrest.
