The Republican Party Of Porto Rico.

Porto Rico is preparing for progress
a. a most gratifying rate, and is set
ting an example that our other new
acquisitions will do well to follow. In
its AmericanizatiOn it promises to fol-
low close on the heels of Hawaii. An
event of political significance is the
recent act of the Radical party of
Porto Rico in changing its name to the
Republican party. Its selection of the
name is based on what are called in
Latin American countries the his
torical reasons" the Radicals having
been those Porto Ricans who were in
opposition to the monarchial idea while
Spain ruled the island. Their oppon-
ents, the Liberals, We're opportunists in
accepting the monarchial rule. and
We're pro-Spanish TO that extent. The
Republican party of Porto Rico seems
to have many men Of education and
energy in its leadership.
1t has adopted a platform on which it

PRODUCTION Of contract labor; pledges
itself to favor liberty Of press, speech
and conscience; urges the establish
ment Of public common school sys-
TEN in which the English language
shall be taught; maintains that the
taxation system should be remodelled
on the American plan; asks for free
trade between the United States and
the currency system by putting it on a
gold basis. There are in the platform
planks for an independent judiciary.
for a tariff which shall favor the tillers
of the soil and for complete separation
of church and state
There is nothing in this platform to
which the United States can, take eX-
ception. indeed the first impulse of the
Radicals was to call their new organ
ization the American party. but they
forbore because they feared it might

worth keeping in mind. The platform
of the Porto Rican Republicans who

Incorporation of their island in the

corroborate the conclusions of. DR.. Car
roll President McKinley's commission
er, that Porto Rico is deserving of a
territorial government at an early
date. in order that its people may train

| Meanwhile, General Henry is helping
the people onward by encouraging the
establishment of public schools, and

necessity. In various ways General

The Situation at BIuefields.


+ The cruiser Detroit, now bound for
Bluefields to protect American lives
and property, is not likely to encounter
any serious trouble. Bluefields is the
capital of the Miskito Indian reserva
ton which is on the eastern coast of
Nicaragua, and is not far north of
Greytown, the eastern terminus of the
proposed Nicaraguan canal. The Eng
lish government maintained a protec-
torate over the reservation for many
years. but in 1859 surrendered it to
Honduras, and that country u year
later turned it over to Nicaragua.
They have rebellion down there
every few months. and this is what has
recessitated the sending of the cruiser
Detroit, it being claimed that Ameri
can and other foreign merchants are
being forced to pay double duty on
their goods. There are several large
American fruit concerns there. and
they say that Il prohibitive export duty
has been imposed and that American
business interests there are in
jeopardy.
The Detroit goes to look into these
matters. and her commander. Captain
Dayton. is likely to have something 70
say about what is to be done. The
revolution in the first place is nothing
but farce. as the rebellion against
the authority of General Zelaya. presi-
dent of Nicaragua, is headed by Gen
eral Juan Pablos Reyes, who has a
fighting force behind him of only one
or two hundred half-naked negroes
The republic on the other hand is not
supported by more than a few hundred
soldiers. and its navy consists Of one
tugboat. All in all there are l25
Americans in Bluefieds, most of them
engaged in the fruit business.
England is considerably interested in
this matter, also. She gave up her
protectorate of the Miskito Indians 40
in their welfare, and this interest has
increased since the United States be-
gan to take an active part in the
Nicaragua canal enterprise Hundreds
of negroes from Jamaica, all of whom |
maintain their English citizenship,
have settled at Bluefields. and as there
T.,

much of an English city as any of the
cities in the British West Indies.
When the last serious outbreak took
place at Bluefields in 1S94-95, Eng
land took away in a warship the chief
and president of the Miskitos. Robert
Henry Clarence after he had been de-
posed by the NicaraGu Since that
time Clarence has been living in
Jamaic lea, where he has been educated
at the expense of the English govern
ment and has received a handsome al
lowance in addition. The present
trouble is likely to result in n change
in the Miskito government, and Eng
land is figuring that if Clarence could
be put back in his old place as chief
and president, England would be in a
good position 50 far as territory Dor
derng the proposed Nicaraguan canal
is concerned. AT present there are a
couple of English warships at Blue
fields, and it has been intimated by
some of the interested parties that
even now Clarence is aboard of one of
them, ready for the cOup-d -etat.
