PORTO RICO CRIES FOR HELP.
Stop This Degrading Almsgiving Which is
Pauperizing the Whole People"

(James CrccIman in New York Jo,rnal)
san Juan. Puerto Rico, March 15.-Thc condi-
tior OF Puerto Rico is almost incredible. The
whole people are being pauperized by free gov
ernment rations, while the instability Of the
country without constitutional guarantee prevents
American capital from flowing in.
There is a general cutlery from leading Puerto
Ricaus i'm all parts of the island against this de
grading aImsgiving as a bride to quiet the people
while Congress is fastening the slavery OF a colo
NAL system upon them.
The official returns show that in five months
the normal death rate of Puerto Rico has in
creased 9,G00 since the tornado period, showing
that the island is losing in population at the rate
of %, OG0 Il year as a result of American control.
The sights in the mountain districts are ap-
palling. All experienced men agree in saving
that the only hope of saving Puerto Rico from
utter ruin is To at once convert it into a reGulal
| nitod States Territory. The people do not neet
charity. They need the opportunity to work.
The heart of the most Sordid trust president
would be melted by the spectacle OF Il helpless
nation waiting in suspense for the news thai
Congress has refused to take all hope from them

President Desires to Serve Wheeler
(By The Associated Prc~s.)

Washington, March lit is evident
tina an effort is being made by some of
the administration officials to induce
General Wheeler to withdraw his request
for immediate action on his resignation.
1t is intimated that this effort is attrlb-
utable solely to an interest in the per
Sonal welfare of the general. In this
connection it is recalled that the Presi-
dent has had it in mind to ask Congress
for special legislation empowering him
to retire General Wheeler, General Lee
and another brigadier general OF yolun-
teers with the rank of brigadier generals
in the regular army. Some Of the per-
sons who are interested in the success
of this movement feel that by immediate
resignation and the prosecution Of his
present determination to attempt TO Sc
cure his seat in the House Of Represen-
tatives, General Wheeler wfl arouse an
tagonisms which may make it difficult OF
impossible thereafter to secure from the
House the legislation needful to secure
his retirement.

MINISTER MERRY GOES TO MANAGUA.
Nicaragua Says Her Concessions to Maritime
Canal Company Have Expired.
(By The Associated Prcss.)

Washington. March 11.-United States
Minister Merry. by direction Of the State
Department, is now on his way from
Costa Rica to Managua. the capital of
Nicaragua. His mission is not, as has
been surmised, connected with the re-
ported issue between Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, but relates entirely to canal mat
terS. Up to this time there has been no
satisfactory outcome Of the controversy
between Nicaragua and the Maritime
Canal Company respecting the status of
the latter's concession. The ~Nicaraguan
Government claims that the concession
has expired by failure of the Maritime
Company to perform the amount Of work
required by the concession.
Arbitration has been attempted, but
matters have become so involved that
Minister Merry has been ordered to
Managua to make a personal investiga-
ton and do what is proper to protect the
interests of the Maritime Canal Company.

DEFEATED THE ENDS OF JUSTICE.
Harsh Measures of the Troops Against Miners
in the Occur d'Alene.

Washington, March 1.-THE Occur
dsAlene investigation was continued be-
fore the House Committee on Military
Affairs today.
Allan F. Gill. of Spokane, Wash. a me-
chanical engineer, was placed on the
stand by Mr.. LentZ. He testified that
he heard Major Morton order some of his
troops to break into his (Gill's) house.
The soldiers broke in the door. He no
ticed other instances of a similar char
acter. He testified TO general rude and
harsh treatment suffered by the arrested
miners at the hands of the troo ps. The
only disturbance made in Burke that day
was the disturbance created by the sol
diery. There was no necessity for the
soldiers, he said, as civil process could
have been served. In his opinion the
advent OF the military defeated the ends
of justice.
