ecutive Mansion.
The speech OF General Davis, the retlr-
ing Governor General, was full Of feeling
and expressed only the best wishes for the
continued good conduct Of the island.

tous, although remarkably temperate. He
addressed the attending crowds as "Fel.
low citizens OF Porto Rico" This happy
introduction won instant approval.
At tie conclusion Of Governor Aliens
