OF Our Government Another Proof THAI

Under date Of San Juan, March 81
the correspondent cables the Erami
ner and Journal:
1t is impossible to express the agony
of despair with which the people oil
Puerto Rico received the news that
the Republican majority in Congress
does not intend to extend the Consti
tuition over the island.
The people are too weak to resist
our bayonet's rule, but their love for
the United States is changing to apa-
thy or fierce hatred. In San Juan one
can hear on every street half-naked
children singing the American ma
tional anthem. The scene il pathetic
1t is almost incredible, but from the
district of Cacar comes message that
more than 1000 women in that neigh
borhood cannot leave their huts be-
cause they have no clothes. The same
reports came from other districts
There are probably 5000 naked wo-
men in the mountain districts.
Thousands of children cannot attend
school because the teachers refuse to
receive them stark naked, as they pre-.
sent themselves. These are not saw.
ages, but gentle, loyal, civilized people
Mass meetings are still being held
all over the island to protest against
the proposition to make the Puerto
Ricans subjects instead of citizens.
General Davis has recovered from
his illness, and to-day he said to me:
"We shall spend most of the money
furnished by Congress in building
roads. We will continue to feed the
incapable and destitute. If a man is
able-bodied and will not work, he must
starve. II he cannot work. he will be
fed.
GAS free trade and constitutional
rights have become political questions,
cannot enter into the controversy.
1 have given the Government the
true facts and have pointed out what
I believe to be the only sound policy
for the Government. That ends my
duty. I cannot take part in questions
of high craftsmanship.
"The people OF Puerto Rico are civ.
ilized, and are more capable than the
people of New Mexico. who were given
territorial government fifty years ago"
The Federal party, representing four
fifths of the wealth and education oil
the island and great majority of the
voters, have formally indorsed the de-
mand for civil government and free
trade. Under date of the 23d he
cables: "The report which I cabled
two days ago that more than 1000
women in the district Of Cacao cannot
leave their huts because they have no
clothes, has been investigated and
found to be absolutely true. This
shocking destitutioD, under the Stars
and Stripes, learn, covers a much
greater area than Cacao. From other
districts come similar reports. Liter
ally, women and children are made
prisoners by their poverty. Women,
with not even rags left to cover them,
cannot leave their huts and try to for
age for food for their children. The
children are prevented from attend
ing school. Their teachers will not
permit them to come to school naked.
At low estimate, there are 10000
naked women in the food districts of
the mountains"

THEIR RELATIVE STRENGTH.
Ensland's Victory was won at the Ratio Of Ten
Britons to One Boer.

Britons to One Boer.
A Pretoria dispatch OF the 18th
inst. from the chief OF the intelligence
department, Molengraaf, announces
that the losses of Federal forces,
prior to the relief of Kimberley and
Ladysmith, were:
Killed, 677.
Wounded, 2,123.
Accidents, sickness and other dis.
abling causes, he asserts, bring the
total to 4,35l.
The whole Boer army, at the be-
ginning of the war, according to
Cecil Rhodes and Montague White,
was 10000 men.
Deducting the foregoing casualties,
together with the men captured with
Gen. Cronje and previous to his sur.
render-say enough to make the
aggregate losses 9,OOO-and the whole
Boer force left would be only 2l,O0C
men.
Now look at the other side:
The latest official statement o.
British losses-up to March 12- gives
