No American Flag Displayed in the
San Juan Fetc,


From end to end yesterday the streets
of San Juan. Porto Rico. were a labyrinth
of glittering Spanish flags in honor of St.
Jago. the patron saint of Spain. Banners
and bunting, suspended from house to
house, covered the thoroughfares, and
everywhere the balconies were richly
dressed.
There was no attempt whatever to dis
play the American colors. The celebration
Of the Fourth of July was totally eclipsed.
Then the citizens were unable to raise a
dollar for the purposes of demonstration.
Now there was no difficulty in carrying
through program which must have cost
5000. Possibly six native houses dis
played the stars and stripes. On the other
hand 1t is estimated that no fewer than
$3.50 Spanish flags We're flung to the breeze
Last evening there was a grand concert
in the plaza, attended by 1900 Spaniards
and this was followed by patriotic ad-
dresses, received with great enthusiasm. at
the Casino.
A prominent Porto Rican, discussing the
celebration from that point Of view today
said:
Our people should not be blamed by the
Americans for expressing their feelings in
this way The United States Constitution
has not been extended to the island The
them. In such circumstances, Porto Ricans
cannot appreciate American institutions
and naturally would not observe American
holidays. Today's celebration however,
was purely Spanish and many native Porto
Ricans did not participate"

He Was Sustained by a Large Vote of
the Commons,

Discussion of the colonial office vote led to
spirited debate in the English house of
commons yesterday, in the course of which
the liberals again aired most Of the old
charges against the colonial secretary. Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, and INDUCED in crit
icisms of the war in South Africa. Finally
Sir Wilfrid Lowson moved a reduction OF
Mr.. Chamberlain's salary as a mark of
censure Of his policy.
Mr.. Chamberlain, replying. welcomed the
issue raised by the motion. which, he de-
| clared, meant that the war was wrong and
that consequently annexation of the South
African republics was wrong and their in
dependence should be restored to them. In
his opinion. however. the war was just
and righteous and should not be judged by
its consequences in loss OF life. John
Bright had defended the civil war in Amer
lea as just and righteous, although the loss
of life was as thousands to units as COM
pared with South Africa.

subjectfng the rebels to the death penalty

As regards the future, there would not be

would be established. The government de-
sired to give the states at the earliest pos
sible moment "a system Of self-govenment
similar to that enjoyed by the other Brit
ish colonies. He believed the hope Of a
reaction at home was prolonging the war.
Therefore. In the interests of the coun-
try, he hoped 1t would be made clear that
the government had substantially united
house and people behind It.
The opposition did not spare Mr.. Cham
berlain. Liberal members sharply inter-
rupted him and charged him with misquot-
ing other speakers and reminded him that
the whole history of South Africa the past
seven years had furnished substantial
grounds for him to be suspected in all his
actions.
Sir Henry bell-Bannerman, the lib
eral leader in the house of commons, de-
clared that Mr.. Chamberlain had prosti-
tuted the occasion TO the purpose Of max

Decrease in the Number Com
pared With Last Year.
The United States League Of Building and
Loan Associations convened in annual con-
vention at the state house in Indiana polls
yesterday.
Governor Mount and Mayor Taggart ad-
dressed the league at its opening session.
After responses President Fitzmorris of
Omaha made his address. He said in part:
Directly and indirectly the United
States league represents an economic
movement which has enrolled lee cssl
people, share-holding members in 5.4s5 as
socfations. with resources approximat ting
$3.50. 10000.
The work accomplished by building and
loan associations by and for their members
appears all the more remarkable when ac-
count Is taken of the obstacles overcome.
The original system. as well as the true
system of today, placed all members on
an equality and made the good of all su-
perior to that of the individual Initators
sought to reverse this principle by placing
the prosperity of the managers above that
of the members. This class of associations
demonstrated in short time how a saw
ings proposition could be made a losing in
yestment.
THE experience of the year has taught
several lessons, to which the earnest at
tention of the delegates is invited. Chief
of these is the necessity for more general
publication Of the doings of building and
loan associations"
Secretary H. F. Cellarius of the league
said: There are now in the United States
5,4s5 local building and loan associations,
with 1.512.GS5 members and aggregate as
sets of 1851, $3.50, 10. AS compared with
last year this Is a decrease of 81 associa-

Gruesome Mix-Up of Dates.


The corporation of Trinity Church, in
making recent repairs to the tomb of Alex
ander Hamilton, also made serious mix-up
Of dates Hamilton's widow, daughter of
Gen. Philip Schuyler of Albany, who is in
TERED by the side Of her husband, was born
in 1857 and died in 1854 at the age of nine
ty-seven, having survived him fifty years.
On the tomb the dates are cut, respectively,
1877 and 1884 1t is said at the office of the
Trinity Church corporation that the error
in these dates was due to blunder of the
deepened the lines. Reference to the
church books showed that the inscription
as originally carved on Eliza Hamilton's
tomb gave the dates correctly, 1857 and
1884. The old-faShioned figure 3, which
much resembles a 3, probably caused the
confusion. The matter is to be attended to
at once and the inscription corrected.
A Big Lump of Gold.
The officials at the United States assay
office in Wall street are not pleased with a
big lump of gold, valued at S135,275, which
recently arrived, having been forwarded
by the Bank of Montreal. The difficulty is
that 1t is too big. and the officials say they
have no way to melt the huge nugget. The
hydraulic miners of British Columbia made
the lump SO large that Superintendent Ma
son of the assay office will have to order
special melting pot, in order to have a
receptacle large enough to hold this king
lump while it is melted to be run into bars.
1t is by far the largest lump of gold ever
received at this assay office, and the assay
men cannot understand what induced the
miners to make it SO heavy, as 1t was in
convenient to handle ship and weigh, and
now comes the greatest difficulty. the
weight of the lump-7,S97 ounces-made the
services of four men necessary to place the
cone on the scales. Assay office employees
freely said that this lump was too much
of a good thing" for hot day in July.
The whirlgig of time has brought about
a renewed interest in croquet as an out
door game, and many lawns of country
homes display croquet wickets where for
merly tennis nets have been stretched. 1t
has been discovered that tennis is too vio-
lent game for the majority of women, and
when the exigencies of golf are too IA
tiguing, then the game of croquet is called
upon as relaxation. The manufacturers
are buster this season, they say, than they
have been In twenty years.
