Enghsh-speaking Negro was subject
10 attack, particularly the natives Of
u. Thomas and st. Kits. One Porto
Klcan was killed, one was seriously
injured and three Negroes of ST. Kits
were dangerously wounded. The af-
fair was the outcome of the pier
strike, and the pretense of the attack.
apparently, was that the English is
landers were usurping Porto Ricnn
labor. The islanders anticipated trou-
BILE, and some of themVwera armed
with revolvers. The mob entered the
house OF st. Kits white man. His
abdomen was slashed with n 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 exhaust
ed, when his head was hammered into
Il jelly.
A company Of infantry under Capt.
Alexander and Lieuts Ansell and Par
ker was called vut, martial law was
declared, soldiers now patrol the
streets and the rum shops were closed.
The mere presence of the soldiers dis
persed the crowds. There were no
demonstrations after he arrival of
the troops. The condition of affairs
necessitates the presence Of troops
indefinitely in order to prevent more
trouble. The municipa, police are ut
terly inadequate to preserve order or
to handle any crowd They stood by
during the riot as spectators and
made no attempt TO interfere.
The Porto Tiera di strict of San
Juan is about a mile from the city
hall.
1t is understood that the British
