SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO,
March 1o.-The real situation in Porto
Ricolis not understood. People in the
states generally regard Porto Rico as
a sort Of haven Of peace. The war de-
partment has just requested of Gov.
Henry that he Immediately report how
many regular troops he can spare from
the island. The One Hundred and For
ty-seventh New York started home
last Sunday The regular regiments
that remain are so scattered that In
many places where there is necessity
for strong force only corporaps
guard can be mustered, and territories
where there are continual mutteringS
and the greatest evidence of discon
tent at the American rule are I'M
guarded. Gen. Henry Is in dilemma.
He had only three regiments Of troops
the Eleventh infantry, the Nine
tenth infantry and the Fifth cavalry
and two batteries Of the Fifth heavy
artillery.
i need twice the troops I have"
said the general at his residence in
San Juan. Because Of the easy VIC
tory Of our troops here in the war and
the apparent friendliness of the ma
tlves to the American soldiers when
they invaded the island notion pre-
Wallis IN Ice states that there is little
necessity for strong force to MAIN
tain order in the island. The idea is
erroneous
The conditions here are alarming.
these people have been given every
opportunity, but they have thrown
them aside. They are clamoring now
Tor local self-government. They are
no more fit for local government
than l am to run q locomotive. More
troops are needed in the island. The
seeds Of disco1tents. planted by profess
slonal agitators. are rapidly growing.
and can be kept down only by a strong
military force. Ines
The ill-feelifg between the natives
and the American troops seems to
grow stronger every day. The Amer
lean officers have to maintain the
greatest vigilance to prevent their men
from wreaking vengeance on the ma
tlves, especially the native police, for
acts Of VIOLENCE that are constantly
committed against the troops"
AMERICAN MURDERED.
At Caguay, small town on the mil
1tary road, twenty five miles from Sar
Juan, soldier of the One Hundred
and Forty-seventh New York. was
murdered last Saturday night In a
manner which illustrates the treachery
OF the natives. Private Michael Burke
OF Company L, had entered the Porto
Rlcan Literary club. Of Caguay, and
was sitting at q small table reading
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-03-11

when a native slipped up behind him
and, with one stroke of d machete
Sharpened to raZor's edge, severed
the soldiers head from his body and
sent it rolling across the floor. Anoth
er soldier happened into the club some
time afterwards, saw the dismembered
trunk still sitting in the chair, with
the head where it rolled. Several Por-
to Ricans were quietly standing around
discussing the matter. No one would
admit seeing the murder committed.
Suspicion finally fixed upon one man,
but, when a provost guard went out to
arrest him, he had fled, and, although
the entire country around Caguay was
thoroughly searched for the murderer,
he has not been arrested
Only four nights before the killing
of Burke the bad blood between the
natives and soldiers asserted itself in a
brutal assault on Private Fitzpatrick.
The native police arrested Fitzpatrick
without warrant, and, when he re-
sisted, beat him insensible. The SOL
diers of the four companies of the
One Hundred and tyseventh sta
toned at Caguay waited until night
and then started out ''to police the
town." as they called 1t. Three cafes
were ''policed" in the most thorough
manner, tables being overturned and
mirrors broken, when the officers of the
regiment arrived and quelied the riot,
persuading the mez to return to the
barracks. The next chapter in the
Caguay affair was the killing of Burke.
The withdrawal Of the regiment to
Brooklyn for mastering out prevented
more serious encounters between the
volunteers and the natives The trou-
bles at Caguay have been duplicated
at almost every place on the island.

CUBAN BANDITS.
One of the Results of Havana Pol
icy Upon SANTIAGO.


SANTIAGO DE CUBA, March 10
The results of the policy inaugurated
at Havana of disseminating public
works in this province and throwing
men cut Of employment are beginning
to show. Yesterday six bandits were
captured in the neighborhood of Con-
cepcion, all of whom were formerly
workers in the road gangs. They say
they have no money and must either
rob or starve. They have been lodged
in the city Jail, but considerable SYM
pathy is displayed in their behalf by
the pOpulace.
Much the same sort of thing is hap
pening in the district of HolgIin, where
brush between bandits and gen
darmes resulted in the killing of one
of the former. Nevertheless, it is not
expected that these troubles will take
a serious turn. owing to the probability
that work will be resumed early next
week.
