San Juan de Porto Rico. April Sat
4 o'clock yesterday evening the natives
made concentrated movement at
Puerta Tiera. Different mobs, aggre-
gazing about 1000 men, attacked the
foreign colored men. Any English
speaking negro was subject to attack,
particularly the natives of St Thomas
and st. Kits. One Porto Rican was
killed. one was seriously injured and
three negroes of st. kits were dan
gerously wounded. The affair was the
outcome of the pier strike. and the pre-
tense Of the attack, apparently, was
mat the English Islands were usurping
Porto Rican labor. The islanders an
ticipated trouble, and some of them
were armed with revolvers. The mob
entered the house of IL st. kits man.
and his abdomen was slushed with a
inachete. Another st. Kits man was
stoned. escaped 10 the roof and was
forced TO jump to the ground. He was
followed In the street and stoned until
exhausted, when his head was ham
mered into Il jelly.

declared, soldiers now patrol the streets

CAPT. w. w. BERKELEY.

Roanoke Va, April 8,
Editor virginan- Pilot:
In reply to yours of recent date as
10 my Views on the question Of Con-
sututional Convention. I will say:
not only am In favor of such q
convention. but I deem 1t Of the most
vital interest 10 the State. The healthy
conditions of abor existing all over tho
country at this time has diverted the
people to certain extent from the ex-
1sting conditions as To the workings Of
the state government machinery; but
n time Will come when onerous reali-
ties Will thrust themselves upon us in
such shape that they cannot further
be ignored. The people of the State OF
Virginia to-day are the most office
ridden, unnecessarily over-taxed and
burdened people in this Union; tho
masses are submitting because they
are ignorant that there may be relief.
but II time will come when they will
be Informed and no longer bear the ex-
listing oppression, and, as In the days
of reimbursement they will hear no reas-
on short OF the conceived relief. The
present Constitution precludes any sub
stantinl relief! Our taxes are too bur-
densome! and we need not go any fur
Their to find evidences OF the fact than
our Auditors office. To-day half of the
homes of the people of this State are
on the delinquent list.
ut Is n big folly for a State to ems
ploy more servants than II can afford,
or live beyond It's means us 1t Is In an
individual, and when 1t is followed will
inevitably result disastrously. Every
one believing In II Republican form OF

London, April Z (4:30 IL. m.)-Not a
word regarding the disaster at Red
dcrsburg has been allowed to come
through except the dispatch OF Lord
Roberts.
The latest disaster more particularly
illustrates the heavy task involved i'll
holding the railway. This body of some
five hundred British troops, without
guns, which disappeared so completely
within thirty-five miles of the great
British army. had for its business to
guard a section of nearly ninety miles
of railway between Bloemfontein and
Springfontcin. If 1t could be thus spir-
tied away how is Lord Roberts to en-
sure his continually extending commu-
nicationS?
1t is asserted that four thousand reb-
els surrendered during General Glenn
cnts' northwnrd march. The Beers Will
do their utmost to hold Ladybrand and
Ehaba N'Chur, both being rich grain
producing districts.
Increased precautions are being taken
In patrolling the railway.
H. is said that the prisoners captured
at Beshof are foreigners.
REPORTS CONFIRMED.
The report that Mr.. Steyn has been
appointed to the command Of the Free
Staters. and the further report that the
Free State has arranged loan from
the Transvaal for war purposes, are
both confirmed.
Ten thousand remounts from South
America are due to arrive during the
coming week at ports of Natal and
Cape Colony.
AN EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.
Another Boer version of the fighting
with Colonel Plumers force says that
four officers. and thirty men were taken
prisoners at Ramathlabma. The names
of Cecil and Granville, originally sup
posed to be separate, II now appears
were the name OF one person. The eX-
change of prisoners was mooted in the
House of Commons last evening, but
elected n reply that the Government
had no intention of proposing an eX-
change.
