PORTO RICANs STARVING.
Governor General Davis Says They
Must BE Fed at Public Expense.

WASHINGTON, March THE acting
secretary of war has received a communi-
cation for General Davis on the subject Of
food distribution and the relief of the des-
titute in Porto Rico. II was the intention
of General Davis, as recently stated to
the department, to discontinue the free
distribution of food about the first of this
month, but the industrial conditions exist
ing in certain portions of the island rem
dered it absolutely necessary to continue
to feed the starving inhabitants for some
time longer. 1t is said that in some Sec
lions the inhabitants are beginning to raise
sweet potatoes. but in the center OF the
island. or the coffee growing district. there
is nothing fo- the poor to eat Any dis
continuance Of the food distribution, there
fore, under these conditions, would result
in a large increase of sickness and of the
death rate. The coffee planters are making
strenuous efforts 10 clear UP their fields
but having no money for the payment of
their hands. the laborers necessarily have
been laid off and are drifting into the
towns. thereby becoming public charges
Unless fed at the public expense, starva-
ton will result and the military governor
therefore has requested a shipment OF 500
tons of rice, Goldfish and bacon, in addition
to the 500 tons asked for about three weeks
ago.
In connection with the existing industrial
conditions General Davis Is of the opinion
that the quickest and most effective way
of securing relief would be through large
expenditures upon public works. General

Their hospitality and apparent desire to
express good feeling toward Americans

Speaking of his resignation lfrom the

Nov. 90 but was not ordered home until
the middle of January. He did not care
to discuss his reasons for leaving the

VIEWS OF HENRY G. PAYNE.
He Thinks Free Trade Will Injure
American WOrkmen.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 7.-Henry c.
Payne member of the Republican national
committee from Wisconsin, said to-day in
regard to his views on the subject of a
tariff for Porto Rico:
Looking to the future welfare of the
Republic. consider it would be a calam-
ity to have the status of Porto Rico, Cuba
or the Philippine islands made such as
would give them later on rights which
would entitle them to admission as States
into this Union. This question should
have the most careful, thoughtful and
statesmanlike consideration The bill pend
ing gives time for ample study of the ques-
ton. Let us not make haste to settle ir-
revOcaby question which may be of most
vital Importance to our people in the flu
ture.
There Is no class Of people so much in
terested as the working class. If free trade
is established with the islands they will
at once become competitors with almost
the cheapest labor known in the world. Is
that condition desirable? Do our working
people desire full and unlimited COMPETE
ton with the masses of Porto Rico, Cuba
and the Philippines? Calm, dispassionate
discussion of the whole subject is in order.
A mistake made now may cost us dearly
later. The provisions of the bill are oper-
alive for but two years, and In that time
we may realize better the problem before
us.
1.-The people who are to pay this slight
tax levied for the benefit of the masses of
the people of Porto Rico are practically the
Sugar and Tobacco trusts. If no tax at
all is levied they will be able to buy these
materials free of any tax, and the sugar
and tobacco raiser in this country Will suf-
fer by reason of this competition with al
most the cheapest labor known I'm the
world. In what more easy or equitable
manner can relief be given to the people Of
Porto RicO2"

from others who have had experience in

Alleged Friction Between the Admiral
and HIS Officers.

NEW YORK, March IA special 10 the
Herald from Washington says: "It is SAID
that there has been some friction between
Rear Admiral Watson and officers of bis
fleet Commander T.. ID. Taussig was sum-
marily detached from the command of the
Bennington and ordered home for alleged
criticism of the commander-in-chief, though
1t is said that Commander Taussig was not
insubordinate. There had also been fric-
ton between the rear admiral and the bu-
reau of navigation relative TO his chief of
staff. Rear Admiral Watson several
months ago desired Commander c. c.
Cornwall to act as his chief of staff and
assigned him to the duty, but the depart
rnent disapproved his action. Only recently
the department ordered Capt Charles M.
Thomas TO command the Brooklyn. Rear
Admiral Watson transferred Capt. James
NJ. Forsythe from the Baltimore to the
Brooklyn. and. 1t is said, gave an expla-
nation as to his action in compliance with
a request made by the department.
1.-THE bachelor officers of the fleet have
also complained because the married Of
fioers, whose wives were in Manila, were
allowed TO remain on shore without pro-
curing permission from the commander-in-
chief one or two nights each week. while
the order of the rear admiral required the
younger unmarried men to be on their
ships after or s O'Clock at night and not
TO remain on shore without written permits

PAID FOR KILLING LAWTON.
The Generals Filipino slayer Is Said
to Have Got S25,GOO.

to Have Got S25,eOO.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 6-By latest
mails from Manila a startling story of in
trigue against American officers by high
Filipino citizens reaches this city. The
story is published in the New Orient,
Manila newspaper. but has never been
cabled, perhaps because of the refusal of
the censor to allow II to go out from Luz
zon. 1t is believed to be authentic. 1t
says:
'It is known that the insurgents at
tempted to kill General Lawton while on
the north line and the occasion chosen
was when Major Howard was killed on a
river boat. The rebels had learned that
Lawton was TO take that boat, and made
desperate attempt to Kill him. but killed
Major Howard instead. General Lawton.
owing to some accident, did not take the
boat, as he intended.
when the news of Lawton's death
reached Manila there was great rejoicing
and Tondo districts particularly was this
the case, and IL was at once proposed to
raise purse TO reward the man who slew
him. The officers of the Katiupnan So
ciety took charge of the affair, and among
those particularly active in the matter
were Sr. Poblete, editor of Ell Pueblo del
Critic: Arevalo, the dentist. and Arrellano,
of the Supreme Court. Poblete was treas
in his hands more than 100000 of volun-
tary contributions.
after a hurried consultation Ii was de-
cided that this was too large a sum to be
given to the slayer of single man, and
the reward was fixed at $4,000. The man
who did the deed was a second lieutenant
of the Guardia Civile. named Garcia, and
it was considered that the entire sum was
too large to be given to a man in his posi-
ton. After further discussion the reward
was raised to $4,000 and the amount paid
over. as IL was proved he was the man to
whom the death of General Lawton was
due. and that he was therefore entitled
to the reward. The balance of the cash
on hand was placed in a fund for the pur-
pose of rewarding such patriots as might
in the future be fortunate enough to rid
their country by death OF hated American
officers.
Further contributions were solicited
and the money is still pouring into the
treasury. AT present Senior Poblete. who
still acts as treasurer, has on hand more
than $500, 900, and the sum is steadily grow
ing. A regular schedule has been adopted
and any native VINO can compass the death
of an American officer of the rank of
colonel or higher will receive a reward
proportional 10 the rank of his victim
