FIRST AMERICAN CIVIL GOVERNOR

Took the Oath Yesterday Morning
and Delivered His inaugural Adj
dress Immediately Thereafter.
More Enthusiasm Displayed Than
was Expected-Was a Beautiful
Day for the Ceremony.

SAN JUAN, De Porto Rico, May IL
The inauguration Of Chas. Herbert Al
len, formerly Assistant Secretary of
the United States Navy, as first Amer
lean civil Governor of the island of
Porto Rico, took place to-day. The
ceremony was most impressive. Gov
ernor Allen made an inaugural ad-
dress.
A more beautiful day could not have
dawned in which to usher in Porto
Rico's new government.
The enthusiasm Of the people was
greater than expected, in spite of the
publication in the Diarie of letter
from Julio Henna, Of New York, sug-
costing that the people remain indoors
and refrain from taking part in the
Inauguration thereby silently pro-
testing and showing the American gov
ernment that Porto Rico is dissatis-
fed
The Diario is the organ of the feder-
al party, and has quite large circula-
ton.
The letter created a sensation. After

The officials of the two roads were
in conference with Attorney Duncan,

this kiss-and-make-up action may
have some bearing on the proposed
railroad deals that have been talked
of so much of late.

ST. PAUL, May 1.-The municipal

a regular Democratic landslide as COM
pared with two years ago, when the
Republicans carried everything. The
Republicans concede the election OF

claim that his plurality will reach
5000 or 1000 The Democrats also
probably elected comptroller and treas

seven of the eleven Aldermen, but the
vote on Assemblymen is yet too frag-
mentary to figure on. The new city
charter seems to have carried. although
the vote on it Is unknown.
