PUERTO RICAN PLANT.
A Commission Does Not Like Military
Ruler.

New York, June 21.-Commissioners
from Porto Rico to the United States
feel, according to DR.. Julio Henna, one
of their number, that they and their
adherents in Porto Rico have been
treated scandalously by the United
States government, so they prepared
a protest, which DR.. Henna has given
out. The protest says: Porto Rico
finds itself by virtue of a treaty of peace
between the United States and Spain an
integral part of the territory of the
United States of America. Neverthe-
less, its soil, its ports, its commerce
and it's inhabitants are not for any
practical purpose considered American.
The commerce Of Porto Rico is bur-
dened by tariff heavier and more OBJ
noxious than that in force when Porto
Rico was Spanish. No protection is CIV
en- any Porto Rican except upon condi-
tion that it be carefully expressed that
he is protected as a native of Porto Ri
co, but not as an American. OF liberty
and self-government, the Porto Rican
people have not had as yet any test.
They are subject in all things to the
supreme will Of military ruler"

KENTUCKY POLITICS
Democratic Factions Struggling for
Control Of the Convention at
Louisville.
GEN. HARpIN'S OPPOSITION
The Stone -Goebel Forces Combine to Name
the Governor and Divide the Other
State Offices

Louisville, KY, June 21.-The Demo-
cratic state convention, which meets at
Music hall this afternoon, promises to
be most interesting gathering, al
though two of the leading candidates
for governor, Captain W. J. Stone and
William Goebel, have agreed to COM
bine forces in an attempt to organize
the convention. The main issue is yet to
be fought out between those gentlemen
and General P. Wat Hardin, who con-
trolls the largest number of instructed
delegates.
If the Stone Goebel combination sue
ceeds in organizing the convention the
disposal Of 200 or more contested seats
will probably result in the nomination
of Captain Stone for governor, while
Goebel will control the remainder of the
ticket and the state central committee.
The district convention was unfavor-
able to Hardin, who organized but four
of the eleven districts. When the con-
vention was called to order by Chair
man Johnston, the Stone -Goebel people
placed Judge David P. Redwine in NOM
ination for temporary chairman. w. II
Sweeney, of Marion county, was nomi-
mated by the Hardin faction. The first
ballot resulted: Redwine, $40; Sweeney,
446; but number of counties were
passed on account of contests, and the
vote was held up, pending decision as
to how the vote of these counties shall
be cast
