number of the miners Every assIs-

that seven were already dead and tho
other three dying The exciting scenes
around the entrance extended through

Washington, March 7 1T Is reported
President Mckinley, in convcrsat on

people Of Porto Rico are entitled to
free trade with the United States. He
made IL clear that his views had under
gone no change since he wrote his mes
sage to congress. He still adhered to
the sentiment therein explained At
the same time he said he was unable
to subscribe to the theory that lcgisla-
ton followed the flag and that Porto
Rcans must have free trade as neces-
sary legal right When he found the
house deemed II the part OF wisdom to
impose small tariff upon condition
that the revenue so collected should all
be returned to the island he had been
constrained to yield to the judgment of
the house. Moreover, he believed It ad-
yisable at the earliest moment to So
cure a decision OF the supreme court
on the constitutional question involved.
Therefore he had given his consent to
the nominal tariff and agreed to sign
such bill.
