Some of the Difficulties Confronting
Porto Rico's New Government.

Some of the Difficulties Confronting
Porto Rico's New Government.
Correspondence of Associated Press.)
San Juan, Porto Rico, April 1.-THE
news that Charles H Allen, assistant
secretary Of the navy, has been ap-
pointed the first civil. governor OF. Porto
Rico was published throughout the is
land a few hours after it was made
known in Washington. The new govern
ment promises to bring content where
there has been discomfort, and order in
place Of chaos.
When Mr.. Allen arrives he win find
that there are problems which win tax
his abilities to the utmost. There are
political difficulties to work out, poll
ticians to steer clear of, systems of tax
alton to be established. and any num-
Der or rural and municipal matters to
renovate. To a large extent the fu-
ture Of Porto Rico rests with the man
ner with which the new governor con-
ducts affairs.
As a whole the people have a good
word Tor General Davis. It has been his
policy to govern the island in such
manner so that the people themselves
mad as much voice as the principle of
military government would allow
The Porto Rican people are fond of
pomp and ceremony, and would like to
see the new governor arrive conveyed
by whole fleet of warshipS, and escort
ed to his new residence by a regiment
uniformed with gold and silver. The
more elaborate the ceremony the higher
viii the governor be in the peoples
esteem. The military people have lacked
the grandeur to which the Porto Ricans
are accustomed. The natives have been
surprised at the simplicity of the Am
erican methods. Nearly every afternoon
when the late General Henry was in
office he used to rid about the city and
into the near by suburbs attended only
| by single orderly, fifty feet in his rear,
! He wore the SLOUGH hat and the Khaki
/ uniform of the ordinary soldier, from
/ which it was distinguished only by the
small insignia of his rank.
! General Davis affects more style than
/ did General Henry, but he also drives
] IN his carriage almost unattended.
! When the Spanish generals appeared in
4 public they We're respondent with gold
lace and braid and medals. The very
simplicity Of dress of the American off
GERS has brought less respect from the
people than they bore toward the Span
1 ish officers
It is not to be expected that the new
/ governor will be attired in a gorgeous
Uniform. But if he is inaugurated amid
pompous, impressive ceremony with the
Dlare OF tTumpets the people will respect
MN more than if he takes his seat as
quietly as village mayor The more
impressive the ceremony, and the louder
the trumpets blow, the more will they
respect him.

SALUTED BOER FLAG.
Enthusiasm of an American Skipper
Nearly Caused international
Complications.

New York. April pa special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Norfolk,
Va, says:
The big Boer flag which foated from
the mainmast of the Danish steamship
Polarstjernen polar starr when that
ship sailed from her Brooklyn pier,
March II, came near causing internal
complications between this government
and Great Britain, through the enthus-
iasm of an American skipper in Norfolk
harbor.
Upon the ships arrival off Old Point
Comfort Captain Callisen again hoisted
the TransvaaI flag, and his action
caused comment among the masters OF
a number of British merchantmen
anchored off the point.
A mass meeting of a branch of the
National Roer Relief Fund association
was held in Norfolk on Monday, April
16. Congressman Smith, of Michigan,
and George w. Van Siclen of New York
were among the announced speakers,
and they arrived on an Old Dominion
steamer. When Mr.. Smith saw Captain
Callisen's vessel, with the Boer flag
waving, he got the Old Dominion cap
tain, who was also a Boer symparhizer,
to run in near the Polar Star and then
the American colOrs were dipped to the
standard of the TranSyaal on the Dan
ish ship.
one of the British captains saw the
compliment and sent a protest to the
English ambassador at Washington, who
The state department declined TO inter-
fere on the grounds that a merchant
marine man has the right to dip his
colors to anything he sees fit, and has
also the right to fly whatever he desires
at his masthead. Thus q threatened
complication, because of an American
recognition of a Danish captains cour-
tesy to the BOer cause, was avoided
At the mass meeting Captain Callisen
was called upon to make a speech The
captain moved forward on the platform
| from a box and his face looked trou-
bled His appearance made the hit OF
the evening, but the immense gathering
was too much for him, and after one
desperate glance, the veteran sailor
| turned and fed
Any speech he could have made could
| not possibly have made more of hit
| than did the courag eous skipper, who
1 defied his British colleagues by flying
| the Boer flag but was frightened speech
less by an audience of 1000 of his
| friends.
Captain Callisen was congratulated
/ by all the prominent men present for
| his public recognition of the flag OF
the South African fighters. The flag,
/ which was loaned for the occasion to
the captain, will again fly at No. Il

Card From Mr.. Won Dahlen.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
In the State journal of Saturday there
appeared an iesm which I feel that in
justice to myself and my pupils the
truth in the premises should be made
as public 1 did not refuse TO allow
pupils of mine to sing the opera, La
Fiesta de San Xavier" neither did I say
that pupils of mine who should take
part IN the opera could not continue
under my training. I did say, that
mad no objections to my advanced pupils
singing in the opera, but I did object to
one Of my primary pupils singing, as
ms voice was in no condition to partici-
pate in any such vocal exercise, and
therefore I felt it my duty to prevent
that which might prove permanent
INJURY There was one other of my
pupils who advised not to sing, but
told him that he could exercise his own
judgment in the matter and I so in
formed the management of the opera.
Ihese two pupils we're the only ones in
question: desire to state that 1 feel
quite competent to advise my pupils
what may or may not be best for them
under given circumstances. Whenever
take a pupil under my training for
voice culture, I propose to protect that
pupil against musical blunde1s, which
can not fail to undo that which has been
done toward the end in view. and the
attalnments desired. and propose TO
afford all Of my pupils such protection.
giving them wholesome advice, regard
less of what amateur musicians may
think upon the subject.

AN OBJECT LESSON.
In a Restaurant.

A physician puts the query: Have you
never noticed in any large restaurant
at lunch or dinner time the large num-
Der of hearty, vigorous old men at the
tables; men whose ages run from so to
so years; many of them bald and all
perhaps gray, but none of them feeble
or senile2
Perhaps the spectacle Is so common
as to have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless it is an OBJ
ject lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they are not munching bran crack
ers nor gingerly picking their way
through a menu card of new tangled
health foods: on the contrary they seem
to prefer a juicy roast of beef, a. pro-
perly turned loin of mutton, and even
the deadly broiled lobster is not alto
gether ignored.
The point of all this is that vigor-
Gus old age depends upon good diges-
ton and plenty OF wholesome food and
not upon dieting and an endeavor to
live upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class of food cranks
who seem to believe that meat, coffee
and many other good things are rank
poisons. but these cadaverous sickly
looking individuals are a walking con-
demnation of their own theories.
The matter in a nutshell is that If the
stomach secrets the natural digestive
juices in sufficient quantity any whole

EARNED, NOT BOUGHT.
Such IS the Reputation of the
Little Conqueror7 in Topeka.

How hard it often is to earn and
maintain a good reputation, and how
easy it is to lose one As with a mans
reputation, so it is with other things in
life. Some things achieve a reputation
which stays with them. They are
founded on intrinsic value They face
the public backed up by honesty and

Topeka people want no better proof OF
merit than is contained in the fol-
lowing experience of a citizen:

kidney trouble for six months in the
winter of 1898, and was so bad could

UNSTABLE EQUILIBRIUM
Is the Way the British Money Market

The British money market is in the

that the stock brokers are calculating to

to make no departure for the present for
