PUERTO RlcANs STARVING
There Il No WORK for Them aud They
Are Dying From Lack OF Food.

New York, Aug, l3.-Msior George ].
Graf. acting commissioner education
for Porto Rico. has contributed 20 the
current issue Of The Independent an ar
ticle entitled after Two Years Work
In Puerto Rico. The major after review
ing ihe improvements In sanitation,
which have resulted in the extinction Of
smallpox. by which the island was
cursed, details other improvements made
by the Americans. He tells Of the estab-
lishmeut Of new schools. and says:
standing armies are not needed with
such a force" as that Of the insular.
"All the great damage done TO the roads
by the hurricane has been repaired with
the exception Of replacing costly iron
bridges" writes Major Graf. who then
draws a picture. He says:
"The effects of thu hurricane are still
] felt in the continued scarcity Of food
and there is still great suffering and
sickness among the poor because Of lack
Of nutrition. At the present moment
the city Of Ponce Is suffering more than
any other point. A report just made b
/ the superior board Of health shows that
the death rate Is now about 100 per 1900
per annum, and while the deaths are all
recorded In the official reports a. due 70
gastroenteritis, the inspector of the
board reports that these deaths are due
almost wholly 70 starvation.
"The condition facing US in Puerto
Rico Is this: The island sells sugar.
ooffee and tobacco and buys nearly all
It's food. The great storm and progres.
ive financial difficulties have ruined the
planters 80 that they are unable 20 EN-
ploy the laborers. These persons who
receive never more than 30 cents gold
per day having no work, DO not turn q
raising food for themselves. but dig
wild roots ard slowly starve % death.
- "Gardens are practically unknown in
the island The poor live upon rice. cod
fish. beans aud wild fruits and roots
The whole mass Of the population is IN a
chronic state Of starvation. From lack Of
food the laborers are unable 20 work
more than three days each week. They
are willing 70 work, but have NOT
the strength to do 50. Yet certainly one
tenth Of the land Is in cultivation. Herr
are a million people, with a very rict
soil uucultivated, genial climate, slow
" starving 20 death. And whyf
The only explanation is that they have
~ long lived under bad laws and un
favorable, economic conditions that nov
IN their extreme poverty and ignorance
they do not know enough TO draw theil
food from the earth
