General Henry IL Doing = Good Job

General Henry is making as good a
record as military governor of Porto
Rico as he made as an Indian fighter
In the field. He gives the authorities
at Washington no trouble or anxiety.
They have discovered that he is just
the man for the place, and the best
thing they can do is to approve all his
acts and accept all his recommends
tons, which is promptly done. This
neutrality-suspicious. soldier is patient
and forbearing as long as he thinks
people are acting honestly with him,
but when he discovers the contrary Is
the case he applies discipline with a
heavy hand. His orders and proclama-
tions need no diagrams or foot notes
to make them clear. even to a Span
lard. The other day he furnished a
specimen to Captain Mansfield. who is
commanding the garrison at the town
of Aguadilla, in this wise: ''It having
been demonstrated to me that for
some weeks matters have been gener-
ally mismanaged at Aguadilla-that the
councilmen quarrel with one another,
that they refuse to act in the interest
of the people and that money is cor
ruptly used-you will notify the al
calde and the councilmen that they are
dismissed from Office. You will then
cali a meeting of the representative
men of the town. and as soon as they
agree upon reputable men to govern
them in the interest of the whole peo-
pie you will induct them into Office and
report to me-"
In another order General Henry says:
81 have frequently warned the people
of this island that when they fail to
govern themselves as they should. aft
er having every opportunity to do so,
l should take control"
In another order he says: Heads of
departments and other officials object
ing to the introduction of American
methods of business and progress will
be relieved from office, or their resig-
nations will be accepted as rendered"

considerably, but with the Oregons on
