RESULT OF CONSPIRACY.
Hoar and Godkin Work Beginning
to Bear Fruit.

New York, Jan 2i-E. NJ Hostos. pres
ident of the Porto Rican Commission. re-
turned from Washington with the other
members of the commission yesterday,
after having been treated with great
kindness and consideration" by President
Mckinley Secretary Hay. Secretary Gage.
and certain others OF the Cabinet, with
whom he had interviews.
This commission was named in mass
meeting by the people of the various dis
tricts of Porto Rico and came to this
country with the purpose in view chiefly
of arranging the terms of annexation,
which is to say. protesting against the an
nexation of the island without first sub
hitting the question to the people. DR..
Hostos and his associates arrived in New
York soon after Christmas. spent short
time here and then went on to Washing
ton. where they remained two weeks. APP
parently they are all well satisfied with
what they accomplished.
The President was particularly consid-
crate in his reception of our wishes con-
cerning the settlement of the Porto Rican
money question" Mr.. Hostos said today.

change matters for submission to us; and
he did not sign it until we gave our as

most the same as that proposed III our re-

to he consulted when the status quo post
bellum has passed. The President. to
whom this part of our address was read,
very slowly and distinctly-being as it was
our first nteryiew-signifed his agree
ment by bowling his head. But the assent
of the President is not enough to have
the people called to plebescitum; the
right to give them that privilege is with
Congress. We shall appeal to Congress as
soon as possible, and we are confident that
our people will not be denied the privi-
lege of declaring whether or not it is their
will to be governed by strangers. Only
in this way can the dignity OF the country
be saved"
THE Porto Ricans want to be dealt viii
as a people, and not treated like here
OF sheep. Herds are driven from sheepfolt
to sheepfold, but people ought to be con
suited before there is change of dominion
over them. What We ask is in the name o
a right that has never been ignored b!

not ignore it now, for today we see beau

RINGS RECOVERED.

Frank Clark Took Sheriff to His

Des Moines, Oct. 1S.-Sheriff Kinley,
of Guthrie county, arrived in the city
last evening in charge of Frank Clark
and Frank Caldwell, recently convicted
of the robbery of the jewelry store of
DR.. Treat at Stuart of goods valued at
$500. The men were tried in the district
court at Guthrie Center last week, con
victed and sentenced. the former to five
years and the latter to eighteen months
in the pententiary at Fort Madison.
Upon their arrival at Des Moines Clark
conducted Sheriff Kinley to the willow
jungle at the foot of South Fourth
street, and dug up seventy-flve gold
rings and razor being part of the
goods taken from DIR. Treats store two
months ago. Clark, following the rob-
berry, came to this city, and, fearing to
carry the stolen jewelry about on his
person, cached it on the bank of the
funds he would go to the plant at night
and take out three or four rings, dis
pose of them and use the money. He
told the sheriff he had planted one of
the watches, which escaped the scru-
tiny of Detective McNutt at the time he
was searched before being placed in
Jail, in one of the cells. but when he
went to find it last night the watch had
disappeared. 1t had doubtless been
found by one of the many prisoners in

Clark had been transferred to Guthrie
