An EXECUTIVE MESSAGE.
The President Has in View the I'm.
mediate Needs of the Island
of Puerto Rico.
A SPECIAL MESSAGE SENT TO CONGRESS.
He Recommends That the Revenue
Received from, Customs From the
Island be Put to Immediate Use
for the General Purpose of Need
ed Relief.

Washington, March 3.--The presi-
dent sent the following message to
congress:
To the Senate and House of
Representatives: Since the eyacu-
alton of Puerto Rico by the Span
ish forces, on the eighteenth day
of October, 1898, the United States
has collected on products coming
from that island to the ports OF
the United States, the duties fixed
by the Dingley act, and amounting
to S2,O95, ,455.SS, and will continue
to collect, under said law, until
congress shall otherwise direct.
Although L had the power, and
having in mind the best interests
of the people of the island, to use
it to modify duties on goods and
products entering into Puerto Rico,
I did not have the power to remit
or modify duties on Puerto Rican
products coming into the ports of
the United States. In view of the
pressing necessity for immediate
revenue in Puerto Rico for con-
Quoting the government there, and
for the extension of public educa-
ton, and in view, also, of the pro-
visional legislation just inaugu-
rated by the house of representa-
tives, and for the the purpose of
making the principle embodied in
that legislation applicable to the
Immediate past as well as to the
immediate future, I recommend
that the above sum collected, and
the sums hereafter to be collected,
under existing law shall, without
waiting for the enactment of the
general legislation now pending,
be appropriated for the use and
benefit of the island.
