SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-On Sun
day, April 80, at 80 a. m. the Thorn
son broke her shaft off shortly just
without the sleeve" losing her pro-
peller. She was then about 500 miles
southwest of San Francisco; II days
out from Honolulu. She was then praC-
tically helpless. At 8 a. m. the same
day the transport Senator was sighted
and at noon thirteen of the Thomsons

permit it. The Moana sighted the Sen

PORTO RICANS PROTEST.
They Have Been Badly Treated by
tho United States.

New York, June 22.-The commits
sioners from Porto Rico to the United
States feel, according to DIR. E. Julio
Henna, one Of their number, that they
and their adherents in Porto Rico have
been treated scandalously by the United
States government, and so they have
prepared a protest, which DIR. Henna,
after consultation with DR.. NJ. Zena
Gambia, another commissioner, has
given out. The protest says:
Porto Rico finds itself ut this moment in IN
extraordinary situation. The island Is by virtue
OF actual occupation, by virtue OF the treaty Of
peace between the United States and Spain. IN
integral part Of the territory OF the United
States OF America. Nevertheless. Its soils, Its
ports, It's commerce and It's inhabitants are not
for any practical purpose considered American.
The flag Of the United States Of America floats
over the soil Of Porto Rico, but II does not
make American even the children who are born
under It's shade. Ships coming from the ports
OF the United States Of America and entering q
port OF Porto Rico do not enter IN American.
but foreign port, and are subject to pay GUS
toms duties, tonnage dues, etc. And although
Porto Rico Is American and its govern
ment is vested In American oficinls,
from the governor general to the health
officers Of the humblcst port OF the
island. no protection Is given 70
any Porto Rcan except upon condition that IL
be carefully expressed that he Is protected Us q
native Of Porto Rico, but not rs an American.
OF liberty and self government the Porto Rican
people have not had rs yet any taste. They are
subject In nll things to the supreme will OF u
military ruler; subject 70 no one else, though In
time OF peace, than the commnnder-in-chief OF
the army OF the United States through ex-
clusively the channels OF the war department.

ANOTHER GIGANTIC DEAL.
The Standard OIL Trust Has Gained Con
troll Of tho whisky Industry Of
tho United states.

New York, June 22.-Standard Oil
now controls the whisky industry Of
the United States. Yesterday the con-
troll Of all the whisky, alcohol and dis
tilling business Of the country passed
into the hands of the Whitney Widener-
Elkins syndicate, representing the mil.
lions of what Is popularity known rs
the Standard Oil crowd. With capi-
tai stock Of $500, 900, the new com.
pany is to include every form and
branch Of the whisky industry Of the
United States. Thus the Standard Oil
millions, having entered rs dominant
factor in sugar, tobacco, copper, street
railway and electric vehicles, control
another industry Of the United States.
The men who have secured the whisky
business Of the country direct the
course Of the sugar business, and are
now said TO be attempting to COM
bine the warning elements. They
dominate tobacco and arc moving
spirits in the great copper combine,
Of which the Amalgamate ed Copper
company Is the head and fore. They
hold the controlling interest in the
street railway systems Of New York,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Chicago
and they may later take over Others,
They own and control all Of the patents
on storage batteries and majority Of
other patents applied to electric auto

Of that form of transportation in every

nightly make campaigning uncomfort-
able. The roads are still good, but the
rice fields adjoining them are pools of
water. The Filipinos will not
fight unless they can meet our
troops in positions most advantageous
to themselves or take our re-
connoitering bodies in ambush. 1t is
impossible to learn what effect the re-
cent defeat has had upon their leaders.
This should be disheartening, for they
had boosted that the Americans could
never conquer the province Of Cavite,
Aguinaldo's home country, where he
always worsted the Spaniards. Gen.
Otis recently received a letter signed
by native women of the province de-
claring that II all the men were killed
the women would still keep up the

San Francisco, June ga letter
from Dawson, dated May 90, says the
cleanup for the present season will
amount to at least $4,000, 900, more
than twice last years yield. The in
crease is due 10 the fact that Dominion.
Sulphur and bunker creeks, which
were practically unworked last season,
have been developed to considerable
extent, with favorable results, and the
bench claims on Eldorado, Bonanza,
Hunker and Dominion have been
worked to- such an extent that their
output will greatly increase the total
production. Cold run, which Is prac-
tically the only new" creek in the
district, has also shown up well.
