Santiago Cuba. May 26.-The Catholics
OF this place are holding a general reioic-

Virgin of Ell Cobre and nearly all of the
missing jewels and gold ornaments. Yes
terday the three perpetrators of the desc
orators of the shrine-one Mexican and two
Spanards-were captured by Francisco
Guitterez, chief of the secret police.
A part OF the jewels were found in San
tiago and the head of the Virgin was found
on a rubbish heap in Ell Cobre. The arch
bishop and several priests examined the
Jewels and found only few missing.
There will be a special mass of thanks
giving on Sunday in the cathedral at San
tiago and in the church at Ell Cobre.
The local police made an unsuccessful
search for the valuables, trying to make a
political scandal. and accusing Guitterez,
who is n Spaniard. of being the instisator
Of the robbery. They placed every possible
obstacle in the way of the search.
The Virgin will be returned to the shrine
1s Saturday. A large number of people are
preparing TO visit Ell Cobre on Sunday.

The Gospel is all in opposition to in
strumental music. from the fact that tho
church is to sing for the Lord and dumb
organ has no soul. We might as well get
the graphophone TO do our praying for Us.
There is just as much power and just as

before ne can decide on the matter, but
it is intimated that he is very strongly in
clined to the opinion that TO admit them
TO land for purposes of exhibition. or any
other. would be clearly violation of the
alien contract labor laws. If they are
brought over on the United States trans
ports they will have TO stay aboard until
the question is decided one way or the

THE PEOPLE OF PORTO RICO.
Their characteristics ns Told in
Letter 20 Gen. Guy v. Henry.


A letter from a prominent army officer
in Porto Rico was received yesterday by
Gen. Guy V. Henry. former Military Gov
ernor of that island, which illustrates
very strikingly the dense ignorance of the
natives and the almost superstitious awe
in which they hold the officers of the Coz
eTnment. The officer says: Il returned
last evening from San Sebastian, where l
spent three days paying laborers and be-
ginning the investigation OF the affairs of
that town, which you ordered some time
ago. have paid something over one thou
sand laborers and they are the most ig-
! norant lot of people have ever seen. Too
ignorant to take the money l gave them.
and in many cases too much afraid. 1t
| was very evident that they had been in
! timidated in many ways
THE investigation. so far as l have
gone. shows much bitterness of feeling on
| all sides. There was almost a row be-
tween the alcalde and one of the planters
| right in my presence during the investi-
cation. II will require some little time to
make a thorough investigation of matters
there Everyone seems to be glad that one
! is to be made, and all wanted to testify
| but of course that will be impossible.
| 1T is essential to the peace of that COM
! munty that the people be occupied as far
as possible, and it will also be necessary
| to keep a detachment of troops there TO
, keep warning factions apart.
These people require much patience on
! the part of those over them. They have
much to learn. Too much harshness. too
sudden changes, or too much treadng upon
! their supeTstitions is very bad and pro-
| duces disastrous results. The sudden in
fiux of Atnericans-not all of the best
class-which will no doubt follow the es-
tablishment of a civil government, will
create much dissatisfaction.
Knowing the population of the interior
as well as l do certainly hesitate to rec
ommend civil government yet. especially
as the people are having about as much
| liberty now as they know how to use"
General Henry commented on the child
| ishness OF the population of Porto Rico,
and especially of those in the interior, and

yet before they would be able to walk
alone in the matter of self-government.

Il is significant OF the trend of events
that the British Colonial Office has given
permission to the people OF Jamaica to
send representatives here for the purpose
of negotiating reciprocity treaty with the
United States. Reciprocity is a great
thing. and a grand invention. That far
sighted politician, the late James G.
Blaine, engrafted the principle on the pol
icy OF his party, seeing clearly that the
day must soon come when the idiocy of the
Republican Chinese wall would be too ap-
parent to ignore. and then. he prophesied,
reciprocity would offer hole of escape
until everything had been reciprocated
down to a normal and sane tariff for rev
enue fiscal system
No doubt the Administration will be able
to meet the Jamaicans on terms OF mutual
advantage, and extend our markets in the
island while relieving the agricultural and
commercial distress there, due to our lock
ed door policy. While We are about it,
there might be propriety in trying little
honest reciprocity with Porto Rico. That
island. too, is suffering severely because
the remainder OF the american Union
treats it as a foreign country. and exacts
prchibitive customs duties against its pro-
ductions. Not lawfully. perhaps. since
procedents and judicial decisions-notably
that in the case of Cross VS.. Harrison. re
ported in 16 Howard. page eighty
three-would seem to entitle Porto Rican
goods TO entry as American productions;
but by virtue of force majeure.
As The Times has frequently remarked.
the old exclusive tariff fortificaticas OF the
United States were eTecuaIIy demolished
By Dewey at Manila and schley at Santa
go. The sooner the ruins are shoveIed in
10 the sea and their place forgotten. the
better it will be for ali American material
interests worth national consideration.

BOY WITH A GIANTS FOOT.
Wonderful Success of an Operation
in PhiludcIphin.

Philadelphia, May 26.-The Philadelphia
County Medical Society had a remarkable
case of orthopedic surgery presented to it
yesterday when Dr. James p. Mann exhib-
tied the successful results of an operation
he had recently perfomed.
The patient was twelve-year- ar-old boy
whose right leg and foot were of normal
size, but the left leg was as large as a
full grown mans, while the foot was so
big that a mans No. II shoe was neces-
sary to incase it. The foot was twelve
inches long and the three smaller toes
measured six inches in circumference and
five and a half inches in length. A re-
markable feature was that the bOny as
we'll as the soft tissues were enlarged.
Dr. Mann, after subjecting the foot to the
x-rays. made deep incisions and parei
down the bones. besides cutting away the
soft tissues. The lads foot was then in
cased in plaster of paris.
The plaster was removed yesterday in
the presence of a number cf medical men,
when it was found that the operation had
been entirely successful and that rot only

teacher in a school in Fordham
She was filed with indignation yester-
day afternoon when asked before Surro-
gate Varnum during the contest over the
will of her mother. Mrs. Margaret Dun
ham, what her age was. She flushed, and
locking angrily at her questioner exclaim-
ed that he ought to be ashamed of hims Ii
for asking woman such a question, and
as it was none of his business and did net
relate to the case before the court she did
not propose TO answer it.
Her lawyer tried to persuade her to be
cain by telling her that 1t was not necss-
sary 10 tell her exact age, but that she
might say whether she was forty or not.
She still insisted that she should net be
compelled TO tell how old she was, and ap-
pealed to the surrogate, who told her that
nothing wrong was intended in asking the
question, and that she might tell him her
answer. Miss Dunham took a piece of pa
per upon which she placed her age and
handed it to Surrogate Varnum, who after

more than forty.
Miss Dunham showed her temper several
times during her examination. Notwith-
standing that she was constantly reminded
by the surrogate not to make voluntary
statements, she insisted upon having her
own way. and kept on talking and gesticu-
lating in dramatic manner. When she
was asked if she was married she raised
her hand in a solemn manner. and with
much vehemence exclaimed. NO." thank

At another time she declared that she
did not believe that any woman should
support any man. After she had said that
both her father and mother had sweet and
mild dispositions, the counsel unwittingiy
asked her from what branch of, the family
she got her disposition, and she smiled as
she replied, Possibly from my grand
