Assistant Naval Secretary Scheduled for
%f f+l%s Porto Rico. ~ 5.s 4
WASHINGTON, April 13. - Charles H.
Allen, at present assistant secretary Of
the navy, will be the first civil governor
of Porto Rico, under the. provisions Of
the bill just passed, while the formal
tender and acceptance Of the position
cannot be made until the president
signs the bill, it is known that Mr.. Nc
Kinley has been bringing pressure to
induce Mr.. Allen to relinquish the care
of his considerable private interests for
a sufficient time, at least, to install the
new civil government in the island and
the latter has consented to assume the
new responsibilities. Inasmuch as the
act takes effect on the first of next
month, there il but little time left in
which to outline skeleton form Of gov
ernment, including the formation of a
cabinet. tits understood that the new
governor will be taken to Porto Rico in
one of the finest vessels Of the navy.

IN ANOTHER WEEK. !.

Roberts Ma Quite Ready to Move a. He
Is Getting Stores and Supplies.
LONDON, April 13. There is little,
fresh intelligence from the scat of war
in South Africa. It looks as though Lord
Roberts may be preparing to take q
strong force to clear the Beers from be-
hind him. A Cape Town dispatch says he
will not move for another week owing
to the necessity Of gathering stores and
supplies. 4
Sir William Gatacre' IS sudden removal
is the theme Of much speculation. The
curt manner in which it is announced
causes much comment. The general
impression is that it is connected with
the Reddersburg affair, although there
are many who consider that there must
be something much more serious as
other generals in South Africa have
been retained in command after blum
ders more formidable than General
Gatacre's. The war Office has received
no news of the death of Colonel Baden
Powell and utterly discredits the ru-

The operations in Natal have not yet

have been an attempt to outfank the
British at Elandslaagte and to separate
them from their base at Ladysmith.

SOUTHERN STORM.

New ORLEANS, April Is. Gulf
coast and a large portion of the south
ern part of Mississippi has been visited
by storm which was in the nature of
a cycloae at several places heard from
and a cloudburst in others. As wires
are down in all directions it is impos-
sible to state the exact amount of dam
age done, but it will be very great.
Several schooners were wrecked along
the coast. %.& M
Enterprise, Miss, was the scene of a
tornado which did great damage, not
only destroying a number of residences
but carrying down the bridge across the
river at that point. The storm cut a
swath 200 yards wide through West
Enterprise. The greatest damage was
at the headquarters Of the plantations
Of A. G. Hands, where it blew down a
number of buildings. Mr.. Posey sdwell-
ing house was torn into splinters and
the residence of Mrs. M. B. McGhee met
with the same fate. The home Of Mrs.
Gaugh. in which she was sleeping with
five children, was leveled, and the
houses of John and David Moffett were
destroyed. The storm wrecked the
bridge and then tore its way into East
Enterprise, damaging the sawmill OF
Berry Bros. to considerable extent,
and tearing the verandah from the
Compton hotel It wrought havoc at
John Kempter's stock farm and then
pursued a northwesterly course. AL.

Senator Jones Defends His Porto Rican
Bill Amendment.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-When the
senate convened, Mr.. Cullom presented
the conference report on the legislative,
executive and judicial bill. The report
was agreed to. Mr.. Jones ARK chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee, addressing the senate on ques-
ton of personal privilege, defended his
action in offering an amendment to the
Porto Rican relief bill, proposing to re-
fund the duties that had been collected
from the people of Porto Rico to the
people who had paid these duties. This
action was attacked by Mr.. Dolliver
(Ia.) in the house during the debate on
the Porto Rico tariff and governmental
bill. Mr.. Jones said he had offered his
resolution from the conviction that the
government of the United States had
no right to levy any tariff duties upon
products coming from Porto Rico and
if the government had no such right, it
it was common honesty to give the
money back to the people from whom
it had been taken. S3,sS

According to information received
here the Boer activity eastward of the,

border is largely due to the fact that
Presidents Kruger and Steyn have
found they are unable to keep their
forces together inactively, the burghers
declaring they are unwilling to remain
with their commands unless actively
employed, as they are convinced the
British game is a waiting one. It is be-
ieved the Boer movement was origin

weaken his forces at Bloemfo fontein, in
order to protect the railroad, when the
Beers would have attempted to recap.
