"Of the 100 members to be nominated to-

PORTO RICO WAS DISCUSSED.
Decided That the Tariff Feature IL
Effective ON May 1.

Washington, April 13.-The cabinet
meeting to-day was occupied largely in a
discussion of Porto Rcan affairs, ana
particularly the Porto Rican bill which
was signed by the President yesterday.
The provisions of the bill were carefully
gone over, and sugges tions were made as
to the personnel Of the new administra-
ton Of the island.
Secretary Gage has already taken steps
to assume charge of the collection OF GUS
toms duties and very soon an expert Will
be designated to go over the island and
inspect the present system with a view
to making any changes either in methods
or personnel that may seem necessary.
Secretary Gage has decided that the cus-
toms feature Of the Porto Rican tariff ana
governmental bill go into operation ON
the first of May, 1900. This decision was
made necessary in view of a discrepancy
in the bill as to the time the act Should
become operative.

NEW YORK, Dec. ga dispatch to
The Tribune from London, says:
General Kitchener offers striking
proof that the British lines Of commu.
nlcation are not seriously menaced by
the Eoer raiders. He has suddenly re.
appeared Ill Pretoria after flying
Journey to DeAar and Naauwpoort,
having passed i'll single week up and
down the entire line Of communication
without u sense of insecurity. His
message tends to minimize the impOr.
tance OF the raids III Cape Colony and
TO reveal the first objective point of
his campaign. Knox's troops are de-
SERTED as fighting with Dewet's burgh-
ers At Leeuwkop and preventing mis-
return southwark to the Orange river.
Some military writer's have been
rashly assuming that Dewet would
merely be kept under observation and
that knox's troopers would be diverted
to the defense of Cape Colony. The
pursuit of the great raider has not
slackened aud he will be followed until
he is caught. Lord Kitchener knows
that the capture Of Dewet is the i'm.
portant result to be accomplished. since
Botha and Delarey will hold out
as long as their ally is moving
across the veldt and swooping down
upon isolated posts. Knox has received
a rowing commission to keep up the
chase and wear out if he cannot corner
or entrap the fox.
