Bedding in the stalls is not intended
solely for providing the animals with
soft material on which TO sleep. If
leaves or cut straw are used the bedding
prevents draughts OF air along the
floor and the more of the material
used the more comfortable the stalls.
Acting as absorbents they also keep
the floors dry and prevent loss of
some Of the valuable constituents o.
the droppings.

NEW YORK, April 6.-Tommy West, of
BROOKLYN, was given the decision over
Jack Bonner, of Summit Hill, Pa, i'm the
sixteenth round of what was to be twen-
ty-hve-round go at the Broadway Athletic
Club tonight. Bonner's seconds threw up
the sponge stating that he was i'll, but he
could not have lasted another round. West
had the better of the bout from start TO
finish and he drove Bonner all over the
ring, landing with right and left whenever
he chose Bonner though bleeding from
the effects of the severe punishment he
was receiving. stood up gamey as long as
he had the strength. In the thirteenth
round West started i'm to finish his man.
Midway through the round he admins
tered left and right on the body and a
left on the jaw, which sent Bonner to the
floor. He took the count and had barely
gained his feet when he was sent down
with left on the jaw. He again took the
count. This happened again, and when
counted out the bell rang. announcing the
end of the round, and saved him. The
fourteenth was very much like the thir-
teenth. with the exception that West failed
to drop his man.
Bonner was a pitiful sight during the
fifteenth. His left eye badly damaged
and bled freely from the cash. Bonner shot
out some vicious right swings, but failed
to land. In a mix-up Bonner went down
from sheer weakness. He took the count.
In opening the sixteenth Bonner tried to
land right swing. but, as usual. failed.
Vests play was all for the stomach, and
so fierce was the beating Bonner received
about the body that he was forced 10 quit
after one minute and twenty-five seconds
of this round.

Finnegan landed the first blow as they
came to the center of the ring. and Jeffries
then put his left on the Pittsburg mans
jaw and he went to the floor. Finnegan
came up in a few seconds, only to be sent
to the floor again with blow I'm the same
place. He stayed down longer this time,
and when he again arose he was i'm visible
distress. He had hardly assumed a fight
ing position before the champion put his
gan went down, completely out. Referee
Siler counted the seconds off, and when he
stepped back 1t was seen that Finnegan
was crying. He staggered to his feet,
reeled against the ropes and his seconds
rushed into the ring and carried him to his
corner. 1t was several minutes before he
recovered sufficiently TO leave the ring.
Jeffries said he weighed 220 but he looked
thirty pounds heavier. Finnegan weighed
but $50 and looked like a boy beside the
champion.

Cleveland knocked out Shorty Cross in

hour tomorrow Simeon Rodriguez, Carlos
Pachee, Hermogenes Pacheco. Eugene
Rodriguez and Rosalie Santiago, who are
condemned to death by garroting, will be
executed. Their crime was the murder in
October. 1898, of Senior Prudencio Mendez,
at Yauco. The murderers, after criminally
assaulting the wife and daughter of their
victim, compelled them to dance about the
corpse. To-day business has almost been
suspended and the public is greatly excited
i'm anticipation of the execution. This will
be carried out by two convicts from San
Juan. The chief executioner, Justine Gar
cha, was originally sentenced to fifteen
years Imprisonment for murder. He has
served four years of the term and the re-
mainder will be RENTED. The assistant
executioner Virente Narsario, who was
originally sentenced to fifteen years i'm
prisonment for murder. will have this term
reduced to four years.
The two men have passed the day in
cleaning, oiling and otherwise preparing
the two garrotes. Governor General Davis

who had offered to superintend the execu-
ton on condition that he subsequently be

TROUBLE in PORTO RICO
FOREIGN COLORED wORKMEN At
Tackled BY NATIVE STRIKERS.
WOunded-MartialL Law Declared
Troops on Guard.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 6.-At 4
o'clock yesterday evening the natives made
a concentrated movement at Porto Tiera
Different mobs, totaling about 1000 men,,
attacked the foreign colored men. Any
English speaking negro was subject to at
tack, particularly the natives of ST. Thorn
as and st. Kits. One Porto Rican was
killed, one was seriously injured and three
negroes of st. kits were dangerously
wounded. The affair was the outcome of
the pier strike and the pretense of the at
tack, apparently, was that the English
islanders were usurping Porto Rican labor.
The islanders anticipated trouble and some
of them were armed with revolvers. The
mob entered the house of a st. Kits man.
His abdomen was slashed with machete.
Another st. kits man was stoned escaped
to the roof and was forced to jump to the
ground. He was followed in the street and
stoned until exhausted. when his head was
hammered into jelly.
A company of infantry under Captain
Alexander and Lieutenants Ansell and
Parker was called out, and martial law
was declared. Soldiers now patrol the
streets. The rum shops have been closed.
The mere presence of the soldiers dispersed
the crowds. There were no demonstrations
after the arrival of the troops. The condi-
ton of affairs necessitates the presence of
troops indefinitely in order TO prevent more
trouble. The municipal police are utterly
inadequate to preserve order or handle any
crowd. They stood by during the riot, as
spectators and made no attempt to inter-
fere. The Porto Tiera district of San Juan
Is about a mile from the city hall.
1t is understood that the British consul
has demanded protection for British SUBJ
jects, though the authorities here will not
make any statement on the subject.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. April 6.-The first
important action OF the new mayor Senior
Grinan. in suppressng FL Cubano Libre
yesterday and placing the editorial STAFF
of I'VE men under arrest. created intense
excitement when il became known this
morning. FL Cubano Libre had always
been intensely radical in its utterances
against Americans. Spaniards and white
Cubans. Yesterday IL published an edi-
torial both offensive and indecent i'm crifi-
cism of the civil government, particularly
the municipal branch. The editorial char
acterized the palace as IAN official sewer
and a cesspool OF moral corruption" and
used other language not fit for publica-
ton. IT charged officials with stealing
even specifying the contracts-ard with
selling immense quantities OF valuable tim
Der belonging to the municipality particu-
larly loo trees of mahogany that were de-
livered on contract for 500. Furthermore.
the editorial asserted that Senior Grinan
became legally incapacitated for holding
Office years ago on account of corrupt con-
duct.
The new mayor, who proposes an agrees
sive and progressive administration, acting
under General Woods orders of March "a

confscated the printing plant and lodged
the editorial staff i'm Jail. He justifies this
step on the grounds OF public decency. The
Americans. foreigners and best class of
Cubans applaud his action. Two hundred
prominent Cubans signed telegram TO
General Wood this afternoon indorsing
Senior Grinan's course.
The colored party objects. and says the
time has arrived for decisive action. The
colored General Rabi and other leaders
were telegraphed TO come Immediately 10

rural guards are under arms and ready for
an emergency
The friends OF annexation are pleased

Picking Reception.

LONDON, April Cecil Rhodes, who
left Cape Town on March q, arrived in
this city to-day. He is well and cheerful
but is much more exclusive than he was
on his previous trip home. This is doubt
less owing to the fact that DIR. Ruther-
ford Harris, the former secretary of the
British South Africa Company. and Alfred
Belt, the South African financier, met Mr..
Rhodes at Funchal. Island of Madeira.
and advised him to observe reticence on
South African affairs, especially as to his
alleged differences with Colonel Kekewich
at Kimberley.
Mr.. Rhodes's reception was in marked
contrast to his former ovations. The pub
lie did not show the slightest interest in
him. From the time of his arrival he was
surrounded by a bodyguard composed Of
Messrs. Belt, Harris, Hawkesley, Roche
fort Mcguire and other henchmen, who
hurried him from the boat to the train and
from the train to cab without permitting
him to speak to anyone.

FOREIGNERS NOT WANTED.



MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April GA
special to the Times from Tacoma. Wash.
says: "To-day's Oriental advices relate
that the audience of foreign ministers by
the Chinese minister, the Empress dowager
and the heir apparent March was a
disgraceful farce. According to a Picking
dispatch the ministers were shabbily treat
ed and given to understand they were not
wanted. The Emperor spoke but one
word. That was when he drew out of his
sleeve the reply to the ministers communi-
cations and handed it to Prince Ching. He
sat STOPPING and feeble, glancing furtively
along the line of visitors, as If sadly hop
ing to see the face of some friend. His
dear aunt, the Empress, observed every
movement through cautiously lifted cur
tains. The audience was over in ten min
utes when, amid the usual celestial prayer,
the ambassadors and ministers were as
sisted to their chairs. Several of the dig
nitaries knew too little of palace etiquette
to refrain from turning their backs upon
the Emperor. The Emperor looked very
pale and is believed to be slowly dying of
poison. Report says the coronation robes
for the new Emperor have been ordered
and that the present emperor's coffin has
been sent for. is customary when the
Emperor reaches the age of thirty years.
The Empress dowager has received a
beautiful china vase from the Pope,
through the apostolic delegate i'm Pekin, as
an expression of gratitude for the protec-
ton of Roman Catholic worship in China"

England and Germany.

BERLIN, April 6.-The Cologne Volks
Zeitung, under the caption England and
Germany" reviews the relations between
the two countries and sarcastically refers
to the statement of an English paper deny
ing the irreconcilability of Russian. Brit
ish and American interests. Ii says:
while politically England and Germany
might continue friends, il is evident that
England is envious of the growing COM
mercial prosperity of Germany, and these
purely material interests would finally de-
eide England's action toward Germany"
The article concludes with this signifi-
cant remark: THE foregoing considera-
tons might be construed i'm favor of the
pending naval augmentation bill. but the
fact is that crisis between the two coun-
tries may come much earlier than 1916"
