FEARING THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
France Bars the Importation OF
AmeHienn HuEsn.x R.oL-aa~

France Bars the Importation of
American Nursery Products.
A copy Of the decree recently issued by
the government authorities in France ex-
cluding certain American articles from the
country. has been forwarded to the State
Department from Marseilles by United
States Consul Skinner. The decree says:
ITO the customs authorities-I transmit
to the service the duplicate of decree Of
November 30. last, which determines the
measures to be taken to prevent the in
vasion Of France by an insect known as
the San Jose scale (aspidiotus perniciosus),
the presence of which has been noted at
Hamburg in shipments of American
fruits
Consul Skinner writes:
I'm virtue Of Article I Of this decree
trees. bushes. products Of nurseries. cut
tings. and all other vegetables or parts Of
living vegetables-also their debris-com-
ing from the United States, are interdicted
from entering or passing in transit through
France, either directly or through the
bonded warehouses. This Introduction ex-
tends to cases. sacks. and other packing
materials serving or having served in the
transportation Of the articles named
The same decree stipulates in Article
II that when the presence of the insect
shall have been noted in shipments or de-
bris of fresh fruits. then shipment of said
fruit and its packings shall be prohibited
Instructions will be furnished later con-
cerning the special measures to be taken
in applying Article II. in question. 1 add
that by new decree of February 3 the
dispositions OF the decree above are ex-
tended to Algeria"

children of Porto Rico. They are bright.
unusually apt and quick to learn. and are
exceedingly anxious to attend good public
schools. II opportunities are offered them
they will quickly prove their ability to
profit by the advantages given them. and
within reasonable time will show to the
world that Porto Ricans are not unworthy
to be considered a part of the United
States. To this end We believe that the
public-school system which now prevails
in the United States should be provided
for Porto Rico. and that the same sys-
TEN of education and the same character
of books now regarded most favorably in
this country should be given to them. In
der such system the advancement in ed
ucation will be rapid and the destruction
of ignorance as complete as it can possibly
be under any system in the wcrld.
The teachers in these schools should
in a great part. be Americans. who are
familiar with the methods, systems, and
books OF the American schools. and they
should instruct the children in the Eng
lish language. 1t is idle to talk of teach
the present instructors the English Ian
guage and American methods OF teach
ing. in order to fit them as instructors of
the children of Porto Rico. The process
would be doubtful in ITSELF and too slow
in its accomplishment TO be useful 10
lut present anu IL Is lar
easier to teach the children themselves:
besides, the number Of teachers in Porto
Rico is so few. as compared with the great
number now required and demanded. that
others must necessarily be secured for
this purpose.
Put an American schoolhouse in every
valley and upon every hilltop in Porto
Rico. and in these place the weIl-fitted
and accomplished American schoolteach-
ers. and the cloud of ignorance will disap-
pear as the fog flies before the morning
sun. That this education should be in
English. we are clearly of the opinion.
Porto Rico is now and is henceforth to be
part of the American possessions. and
its people are to be American. There
would. therefore. appear to be no good
reason for attempting to fasten upon
them the Spanish language. and especial
ly as they are themselves exceedingly
anxious to learn to read, write, and speak
the English language.
Sooner or later all the business and
commercial transactions Of this island will
be with the United States, and the people
are even now attempting to become famil-
lar with our language, and the quickest
and mos. certain method Of transferring
its language is through the coming genera
tion and through the public schools.
at present only one out OF every ten
persons on the island can read and write.
and many Of these. having been educated
in the United States. even now speak flu
emily the English language. Why. there
fore, should we attempt to teach the other
nine Spanish instead Of English? The
question of good citizenship and education
can be more easily settled through the
public schools than by any other method
Our methods of teaching in the public
schools are recognized as the best in the
world. and our system of books cannot De
excelled. These should be given to Porto
Rice as We would wish them given to our
selves"

BANDITS SURROUNDED
IN 4 HOSTILE REGION
Corraled in a Country Where
They Have No Friends.
Indian Scouts From The ShoshOne
Reservation on Their Track.
no Prospect Indulged That the Rob-
Sanguinary Battle Probable.

Omaha, June 2O.-The six Union Pacific
bandits are now hemmed in as they have
frequently been before. They are now III
country from which they can expect no
aid from the Inhabitants, while on every
side, drawing to a common centre which
is occupied by the bandits, are approach
ing large posses. The men are not in the
notorious Robbers Roost country south OF
the Yellowstone Park. If they keep on in
their present course they must cross the
Shoshone Indian reservation in order to
strike the Jackson Hole country for which
they are evidently making. The Indian
police are alert and are patrolling the
whole reservation while dozens Of Indian
scouts and warriors have received the
agents permission to go alone and hunt the
robbers. These Indians are liable to be-
come a most dangerous quantity because
they are brave to desperation, can fight
as well as the bandits. and can travel just
as fast and live on nothing.
These outlaws have travelled more than
1000 miles in the past fifteen days. part
Of the time on foot and again on the backs
of stolen horses. At Sullivan's Ranch the
cowboys even took of their boots and
gave them to the bandits, and then fur
nished them with fine horses For these
favcrs the bandits are believed to have
paid with the gold they got from the ex-
press company.
The report via Salt Lake Of the capture
OF the robbers is ridiculed here. In the
first place. it is known the men will never
be taken alive. They are afraid of being
lynched. as they probably would be If TAX
en-, and when they are taken it will be
only after a desperate battle. Of this
there are no two opinions. The men are
now making toward southern Utah. pre-
sumably for the wilds OF New Mexico.
They headed toward the Canadian line.
but were headed off by a small army and
turned back over the course they had
come and through which they had fought
every inch Of the way.

TO ABoMsH CAMP MEADE.
ArranEements to Remove the Sol
dicr City FrOn MiaAbctown.


Arrangements to RemOve the Sol
dicr City Fron MiaAbrtown.
Preliminary isteps are now being taken
by officials Of theswar Department toward
prospective, abandonment of the army
camp near Harrisburg, Pa. The usefuln. ss
of Camp Meade IS about ended. as practi-
cally all of the troops stationed there have
either been mustered out Of the service or
assigned to active duty in the Philippines
or army garrisonS in the West.
Orders were issued at the department
this morning relieving Capt. 8. W. Miller
and Lieuts. William Newman and Harri-
son ]. Price from duty as assistant muster
ing Officers at the camp. Adjutant Gen.
eral Corbin said this morning that the
date Of disbandment had not been deter
mined upon, as the subject had just been
introduced in the department and was still
in abeyance.
1t is understood that the decision Of the
department to break up the camp at Mid
dletown, was much influenced by the rul-
ing Of the Pennsylvania State court, which
held that the army canteen was subject
to State taxation. Proceedings have been
instituted against the canteen by the
State for the sale Of beer without q Ii
cense from the local authorities. 1t Is un-
derstoOd that the prosecution was insti-
gated by the liquor dealers in the vicinity
Of the camp, who resented the loss Of the
soldiers trade. and that the temperance
element acted as sponsors for the move
ment The Court Of Claims has already
ruled that the army canteen Is one Of the
instrumentalities of the Government and
Is therefore, exempt from taxation. 1t is
probable that the department could win
the case against the State IL 1t cared to
question the decision of the Pennsylvania
court. but in view Of the fact that Camp
Meade can now be dispensed with it Is
considered an easier solution Of the situa-
ton to disband the camp, thus not only
depriving the retail liquor dealers of the
soldier trade. but keepers of such other
goods as soldiers buy in that neighborhood
will also lose thousands Of dollars.
