Island DepOsitOries.

Washington April 14.-The house
today, after spirited debate. adopted
the resolution reported from the insular
affairs committee to authorize the Sec
retary of the treasury to designate de-
postories in Puerto Rico, Cuba and the
Philippines for the deposit of govern
ment funds. By the terms of the reso-
luton, it applies to Cuba only SO long
as the island shall be occupied by the
United States. An amendment to in
clude the Philippines in this provision
as to Cuba, offered, as was stated, to
emphasize the desire of the opposition
not to retain the islands, was defeated
by party vote. A senate bill which
will permit the dependent mothers of
soldiers or sailors of the Spanish war,
even though they married Confederate
soldiers, to receive the benefit of the
general pension law, was pc ssed.
The remainder of the day was de-
voted to debate upon resolution from
the committee ON the election of presi-
dent, vice-president and representatives
in congress for constitutional amend
ment empowering the legislatures of
states to decide whether the United
States senators shall be elected by the
legislature or directly by the people.
A substitute resolution was offered
by the minority of the committee,
which differed from the majority reso-
lutions in giving the states no option,
but providing that in all states the peo-
pie should vote directly for United
States senator's

SITUATION IN PUERTO RICO.
Former Good Feeling Between Natives
and Americans Lessening.

Former Good Feeling Between Natives
and Americans Lessening.
Ponce, Puerto Rico, April l4.-At no
time since the hurricane of August 8
last, has the condition of the poor of
Puerto Rico been as bad as it is today.
About 95 per cent of the island may be
placed in the peon class, which is made
up of q mixture of all races. In the
other 3 per cent are included the we'll.
to-do, educated people, such as mer-
chants, planters and professional men
and their families.
This better class is able to pass
through such times as are now prevail
ing without actual physical suffering,
but their business affairs are at stand
still, and have been for a long time,
and this deprives the majority of the
large laboring class of means of live
lihood. This large body of laboring
people furnishes the very cheap and
effective labor which is needed for
agriculture and other work, but at all
times they have been in an under fed
and poorly nourished condition.
Their hardships have been greatly
added to by the scarcity of fruit since
the hurricane, and it is consequently
increased in price. Salt fish, rice and
beans have been imported free OF duty
since the hurricane, but little of the
benefit derived from this has gone to
poems, and now, when there is a pros
pect of Is per cent of the Dingley tariff
being placed on these articles, the price
has been greatly advanced. Merchants
hesitate to import lagre stocks because
of the prospect of free trade, and the
present scarcity of fruit is also cause
for the advance in prices. Rice has
gone up from to centavos pound
to and 9, beans from to II, and, at
one time, few days ago, to Is cent
avos a pound, while salt fish has ad-
vanced from to about 10 centavos.
No one who understands the situa-
tion here will deny that much of the
former good feeling between Puerto
Ricans and Americans has been lost.
Besides, Americans are fewer in num-
ber in Puerto Rico today than at any
time since shortly after the troops first
landed. and those departing have left a
long list of defunct companies, bank
rupt business, wrecked schemes and
anxious creditors, who, in some cases,
hold choice collections of worthless
notes and checks. Not only are Amer
leans leaving the island, but large num-
bers of Puerto Ricans have gone to
Venezuela, to Santo Domingo and to
Cuba. Three days ago more than 300
natives sailed for Cuba to obtain en-
ployment there, and at least 1000
sailed from this port alone during the
last three months.
Much livestock is also being shipped
to Cuba. The greatest loss to Puerto
Rico in this respect is in the large car
goes of magnificent cattle, which it
will take years to replace.
