CONUNDRUMs.
They Relate to Gov. Allen, of Porto
Rico, and the Constitution.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
1t seems that the Hon. Charles III. Allen,
Governor of Porto Rico, saw fit on the oc-
casion Of his Inauguration at San Juan,
two days ago, to address the natives as
''fellow-citizens of Porto Rico" He also
congratulated them upon the fact that
they dwelt under the same institutions
of freedom, equality and education" as
their fellow-citizens in this country. Most
significant of all, however, he wound up
the proceedings by taking an oath Ito
support and defend the Constitution Of
the United States"
1t is hardly necessary for us to say that
we entertain for Mr.. Allen the very high
est respect. During his term of service
here as assistant secretary of the navy
he not only reconciled US TO the loss OF
Roosevelt, but established-if such a thing
were possible-an even higher claim to
our confidence and admiration. AS a mat
ter of fact, a great many thoughtful and
observant people have regretted that Mr..
Allen was sent to Porto Rico. 1t seemed to
them that men of Aliens calibe were
needed much more urgently in Washing
ton. In this We quite agreed with them.
That he will prove n boon TO the island
and a tower of strength to our policy of ex-
pansion We do not doubt. 1t seems to us,
however, that the administration might
better have retained a force of such energy
w~here-unless we be egregiously mistaken
that force was in most imminent demand.
We are moved TO say nevertheless, that
MIR. Aliens oath to support the Constitu-
ton Of the United States. in his capacity
as Governor Of Porto Rico, opens up a
rather wide field Of speculation. We have
been told, upon the very highest author
ity, that the Constitution Is not in force
in the island, and that the Porto Ricans
are not in any sense our fellow-citizens
The tariff bill just enacted into law treats
Porto Rico as a foreign country. Why.
then. should Mr.. Allen have imported
the United States Constitution into Porto
Rico? Why should he have sworn to de-
fend and support an Institution which Is

RUSHVILLE, Ind, May 9.-The report
sent out from Detroit Saturday that the
De Haven claim against the government
for $4,000, 900 had been compromised by the
payment of $50 600 is found to be untrue.
A letter received by John F. De Haven,
of Rushville. one of the De Haven heirs,
from his attorney in Washington. says the
claim has not been paid. but there is a
strong probability of its being paid be-
fore long. The De Haven claim against
the United States government is over one
hundred years old. and is based on a loan
of $4,000 made by Jacob De Haven, a
wealthy tanner, of S-usquehannah, Pa,
to George Washington at Valley Forge, in
LII. The claim was adjudicated, after
protracted litigation. just prior to the civil
war. but the breaking out of that struggle
prevented its payment. Litigation. insti-
tuted since the war. Is about to be brought
to a successful issue for the heirs.
