General Eaton and Major Pierce.
San Juan de Porto Rico, Feb. g.
The insular Cabinet late to-day ten
dered Its resignation 10 Governor Gen
eral Henry because. after dismissing
Carbonell, General Henry ordered Gen
eral Eaton to take charge of the De
partment of Public Instruction, and In
structed Major Pierce to take charge
Of the Department of Public Works.
Both these departments belong 20 the
Interior Department
The Cabinet demands the immediate
appointment of successor to Senor
Carbonell. and that natives be appoint
ed in place of General Eaton and Ma
jor Pierce In accordance with previous
enunciations OF the policy of General
Henry and the colonial commission
that no Americans are to hold office
here.
General Henry promises compliance
with these demands. and the resigna-
tions of the members of the insular
Cabinet are therefore held in abey-
nnce.
General Henry will place the relig-
ious orders in possession of the build
lngs from which they had previously
been elected, and will restrain any fur
ther proceedings to dispossess them
until their rights are judicially deter
mined.

Home Rule D. u. Dead.

London, Feb. 1.-THE abandonment
of the home rule issue by the British
Liberal party has been formally accom-
plished. The result Is that the Irish
are now looking to the Conservatives
for further concessions to self-govern-
ment. They welcome Balfours letter
In favor of the endowment of Catho.
lie university at Dublin simultaneously
with Presbyterian one Mt Belfast. ,but
a large body of Conservatives are warn
ing Balfour that the party will no,
follow him. that he will wreck his own
career II he attempts to press Catho-
lie university on the British parlia-
ment.
Already the anti-ritualist Conserva.
tives have stated in that manifesto
that Balfour's letter does not wholly
represent the party, but Balfour has
answtrcd that his views have long been
known. He would rather abandon pub
lie life than them.

The main plaza OF San Juan. Puerto

strangely unwonted .sight-the pre-

rIous schools OF the city. Principals,
teachers, scholars--eyen the small lads
of the orphan asylum-all were there.
Marching at the head Of each school
was a youthful and-who can Doubt
supremely proud bearer OF the stand

tions and wider possibilities. There
are. it is stated, eco schools-public
and private-on the island, and to

much to hope that. in due season
