Trouble In Puerto Rico.

A San Juan, Puerto Rico, April 6 dis
patch says: At 4 o'clock yesterday
evening the natives made a concen-

Different mobs, totaling about 1000

Any English.speaking negro was
subjected to attack, particularly the
natives of st. Thomas and st. Kits.
One Puerto Rican was killed. one was
seriously injured, and three negroes of
st. kits were dangerously wounded.
The affair was the outcome of the

incredible number Of sea birds. Upon
fully one-half of the surface of the
island the sand was literally covered
with them, and the noise OF the wing
ed host aston!shed the visitors. A few
landlords were mingled here and
there among them. The picture of
abundant bird life will attract the no
