SQUANDERS HIS WEALTH

San Juan, Porto Rico, July 25.-The
streets Of San Juan were labyrinth OF
glitter Of Spanish flags today in honor
Of st. Jago, the patron saint of Spain
Banners and bunting. suspended from
house to house. covered thoroughfares,
and everywhere the balconies were richly
dressed. There was no attempt whatever
to float the American colors. The cele-
bration of the Fourth Of July was totally
unable to raise dollar for the purpose
Of demonstrations. Today there was no
difficulty in carrying through a program
which must have cost 5000. Possibly six
native houses displayed the stars and
stripes. On the other hand, 1t is esti-
mated that no fewer than $500 Spanish
flags were flung to the breeze. Last even
ing there was a grand concert in the
plaza, attended by 5000 Spaniards, and
this was followed by patriotic addresses,
received with great enthusiasm, at the
Casino. Today dawned with the ringing
of church bells, followed by street pa
rades and band parades. Business was
entirely suspended. An elaborate ball at
the Casino this evening concluded the
festivities.
The real feeling Of the people was ex-
pressed by bands of hoodlums who pa
raded the streets in the less respectable
quarters Of the city carrying Spanish
flags and shouting viva Espanol.' The
fact that the day was the second ami
versary Of the landing of the United
States troops under General Miles seemed
to be forgotten here. Although at Ponce,
Mayaguez and other points there were
slight observances of the anniversary. it
was apparent that the local celebration
had been carefully arranged to eclipse
that o6 the Fourth Of July, which was
scarcely observed at all in Porto Rico.
A prominent Porto Rican discussing the
celebration from that point Of view. sa1d
today: "Our people should not be blamed
by the Americans for expressing their

been denied us. In such circumstance
