CondltIons In Puerto Rico.

An official statement has recently
been published of the work done by
the War Department for the relief o.
sufferers by the hurricane in Porto
Rico last September. The report COW
ers a period between September 25th
and November 30th and contains some
interesting statistics. The population
Of the island is estimated at 91S,926, a
figure which approximates the present
population Of the city Of st. Louis,
Mo. The average daily INDECENT was
221 ,0S7, or one out of every four OF
the eAtire population. The average
weekly sick was 1892, or one out of
every fifty-two persons, and the aver
age weekly deaths 632 persons, or
about one to every 1900 inhabitants.
The bulk of the relief given was in
the form of provisions, of which H.
1872, 7S8 pounds are acknowledged in
the report, 16,54S,316 pounds of which
have been distributed up to November
30th, which would give to each indi-
gent person, If the food was equally
distributed, a fraction over seventy
four pounds in the two months. If
this represented suitable and nourish-
ing food it was a generous allowance,
much larger than many of the poor
in our own land enjoy under far hard
er conditions of existence than are
found IN Porto Rico.
The money contributions acknowl-
edged in the report amounted to s15,-
224, and the report does not state how
this money was expended.
The overflow occasioned by the hur-
ricane benefited the cane lands and so
improved sugar crop prospects that
planters have been able to borrow
money with which to employ the la
Dor necessary to care for the crop.
The coffee plantations, which are al
ways on the uplands, were practically
destroyed by the wind which swept
away everything in it's course, and in
those localities the distress is great
est. Though the assistance afforded
has averted famine and prevented any
general pestilence, disease has broken
out in some of the more inaccessible
mountain regions, but it is hoped its
spread can be prevented by extending
the relief to such districts and contin-
uing 1t until the bananas and plan
tains ripen, which will be in FebrI-
airy. For this purpose it is estimated
that 1000 additional tons of food will
be needed, of which four-sevenths
should be rice, two-sevenths beans,
and the remainder bacon or Goldfish.
In sections where the storm was
most severe, not wagon road is to be
found in any direction. The able
bodied men to whom food has been
given have been required to work fol
it, and by this means considerable
work in the way of cleaning the towns
and restoring the highways has beer
accomplished.

Lord Curzon, the viceroy of India,
who by virtue of having married Miss
Letter Of Chicago is a son-in-law Of
Uncle Sam, has been making a regal
and triumphal tour of the northwest
provinces with Lady Curzon. 1t was
the more triumphal and pleasing to
the people of India because it followed
an Xtra-hazardous journey through
the plague and famine-stricken prov
inces Of Central India, in which Lady
Curzon accompanied him With true
American pluck. The two trips were
made by the viceroy in following out
his conception of his duties as laid
down by him in speech in Lucknow
recently, when he said that rulers and
their deputies could not hold aloof
nowadays, but had to descend from

pie.

one-third of the cost of educating a
king is to be borne proportionately by
each of the 100000 American SOW
ereigns who make up the population Of
the Republic of the United States. The
king is Malietoa Tanus, who was made
ruler of Samoa by Chief Justice Cham
bers, and whose ancestry is so old and
honorable that it is not to be matched
in the Almanach de Gotha. Since his
deposition and the partition of Samoa
by the United States, Great Britain and
Germany, Malieto has decided that he
would like a European education. and
through United States Copsul-General
Osborne requested that the three pow
ers furnish the money to pay the bills.
Secretary Hay, considering that 1t
would be a good thing for the islands
as we'll as the young Samoan, decided
to grant his request so far as the Unit
ed States was concerned. and addressed

fellow, more than six feet high, and
weighed 225. He was too heavy for his
| horse, and the horse was losing his
wind. So what do they do but turns
up into one of the deep canyons, think
ing they could ride somewhere, l
reckon. Anyhow, they started up the
canyon, with the cowboys after them.
1t was a deep one without any outlet
at the upper end. First thing they
knew we had EN- penned in by the
steep banks of the canyon on three
sides and the cowboys on the other
1t was tight place, and it did not take
them long to agree to surrender and
go back to Jail. 1 guess we did prom
Use 'em protection, leastwise we said IL
they would &c back with us we
wouldn't hang them on the way to Jail.
But we declined to be responsible for
accidents. That's natural enough.
How could We help it if something did
happen to tkcm after they got back to
Jail?
Course, something did happen. They
knowed and we knowed that it was
goin' to. They had been caught in the
act of Allling bankers and in them
days bankers were held in great re-
spect, so they had nothing else to ex-
pect. We put 'em in Jail safe enough
and put handouts on them. Along
toward evening the boys began to ride
in from all over the county. They had
heard about the killing, and after ma
ture elaboration it was decided that
the Jail was no safe place nohow, and
the state had expenses enough of It's
own. So, for the good OF the COM
munity, it was thought best to make a
short, sure job OF them and relieve our
selves from further anxiety.
Along in the evening some of the
boys went up to the Jail to see how
the prisoners were. AS l told you,
they were all in irons when we left 'em
in the morning, but when we got up
there that night they had got the irons
off. How they done 1t l never did
know, and they didn't have time to ex-
plain. When the door was opened
they broke to get away. Brown got
such start that 1t was necessary to
perforate him then and there. He died

runners, and having been previously
relieved of their Winchesters and side
arms, they was easy to handle Be
sides, the boys knowed 'em and did not
want to disfigure them. They rounded
up the prisoners and took 'em to a
lone tree handy to town and near the
river. Then the three were strung I'D

The biggest day we ever had in Med
icine Lodge, says a cattleman, was in
1884, when we had six dead men on
our hands all killed with their boots
on. MeuIclne Lodge was then an old
town, as towns go in Kansas, and had
bank of deposits for cattlemen and
the usual number of dance halls and
saloons. though the latter had degen-

the bank that morning a little earlier
than usual. ! was on the way to the
bank myself and was about a block
away when l saw four men ride up and
tie their horses. Three went into the
bank. There was an old woman cross
ing the street, and all of a sudden she
yelled bank robbers" at the top OF her
voice and began to run. With that the
shooting began in the bank. Both the
president and cashier were shot to
death by the robbers. Every man in
town who had gun, and we all car
ried 'em, got ready to shoot. There
was lot of cowboys at the hotel and
in the joints. They had ridden their
horses into town and had left them at
the livery stable with saddles on.
When the shooting began to get hot

a note to the other powers asking them
to chip in. If they agree the cash will
come out of the pockets of the Amerl-
can people. The genealogy of Malie-
toa is certainly old enough and hon
orable enough to warrant all imperial
lists in footing the bills. He is the
23d in the line of descent. Three CEN
turtles ago the Tongas, a brave and
warlike tribe, landed in the Samoan
islands, and, under their soldier king,
Talafeii, soon subjugated the natives.
This king conqueror ruled over the
subjects with a rod of iron and knew
M law save his own will. 1t Is to
this iron ruler that Malietoa traces his
origin, and it is easy to understand
how much the native Samoans revere
his memory of the terrible old king
who is a demigod, by the way, in the
minds of the people. "Malietoa" has
the signfication in the Samoan tongue
of good, brave warrior"
