PEELED to labor all his life, or be de-

TO BE KNOWN AS PORTO RICO.
SENATE COMMITTEE DECIDES ON
SPELLING OF THE NAME.

Constitution of the United states Not
to he Applied to the Island at Pres
ent-Unitcd states Coin to Be SUBJ
stituted for Porto Rican Coin, the
latter to Be Taken Up mt 60 Cents
on the DolIar-Other Provisions
Made.
Washington Jan. 1.-THE Senate Com
mittee on Porto Rico has decided so far
as it can decide, that the island, whose
affairs It has under its particular care,
shall be known as Porto Rico and not
Puerto Rico. as fixed by recent execu-
tive order
The question came up to-day in the
meeting of the committee in connections
with the Foraker bin providing form of
government for the island and the decision
as to the spelling of the name was unanI-
nous.
The committee went over The bill In de-
tail. deciding upon many changes in phras-
eology and some alterations in the general
provisions of the measure. Probably one
of the most important changes was to
strike out the word Constitution" wher-
ever II appeared In the original print of
the bill which extended the provisions OF
the constitution, as wen as of the laws OF
the United States to the island. This
change was made because of the opinion
generally expressed by the members OF
the committee that our constitution IS not
suited to the Porto Rican people. The
opinion was also quite general that the
extension of the constitution was not nee
essary. Some OF the senators expressed
the opinion that the natives of the island
were not yet prepared for jury trials.
Another important amendment provides
for the retirement of Porto Rican coins
and substitutes for them the coins of the
United States. The Secretary of the
Treasury is authorized 90 redeem the sil-
Yer coin known as the peso and all other
silver and copper Porto Rcan coins now
in circulation at the present rate of 60
cents in the money OF the United States
for one peso, this rate to be applied i'm
the exchange of ofner coins. None but
United States coins are to be legal tender
in Porto Rico after three months from
the passage of this act.
Another provision gives optional author
ity to the President to appoint an officer
of the army Governor of the island. All
laws enacted by the Porto Rican Legisla-
ture are to be reported to Congress, which
reserves right to annul.
The tariff, the federal courts and other
questions were deferred, and the consen-
sus Of opinion Favored a slight duty
amounting to 25 or 30 per cent on arti-
cles imported from other countries.
Considerable discussion was had on an
amendment attlishlng the Legislature ana
putting the government entirely In the
hands OF a council to be appointed by the
President OF the United States, five of its
twelve members TO be non-resldents of the
island.

Gen. BuIIer's Dispatches Are In
pleasant Reading.


London, Jan. 27-The war Office has no
news of the catastrophe TO Gen. Buffers
forces reported from Berlin, and disered-
its the story Neither has the war office
any explanation, at least for publication,
of the abandonment of spion Kop, and
there are no advices in this connection
from Independent sources.
The disposition to-day is to regard the
evacuation as not so serious as at first
thought, and commentators are abusing
the military authorities, both at the front
and at home, for publishing hasty ac-
counts of an incomplete, half-understood
operation, thus alternately thrilling and
depressing the nation.
The afternoon papers describe the Cen
eraPs dispatches as unpleasant reading for
the British people, intensely morufying to
the national pride and damaging to the
country's prestige and scathingly de
nounce the gazetting, al the present time,
of reports which, the st. James Gazette
SAYS. display academic frivohty not un-
commonly found in combination with con-
siderable practical incapacity, lapsing into
sneering when they ought to rebuke and
filed with the slang and humor of Kip
ling's subalterns."
The st. james Gazette sums up its opin-
ion as follows:
These dispatches sweat with the folly
which has prevailed throughout the period
the campaign has covered and which has
exacted its usual tithe of lives and men,
The war office announces that the cas-
ualties reported by Gen. Butler yesterday
occurred in the batJalions of Gen. Lyt-
tleton's brigade which, so far as known
at the war office. was not engaged in the
capture or defense of Spion kop. 1t ap-
pears therefore, that they are additional
to the considerable casualties which Gen.
Butler has reported as having occurred at
SniOn kop.

WRECK OF THE JAMESTOWN.
with Favorable Wind the steamer
MAY he Gotten on.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 1.-THE jamestown Is
stlH stuck i'm the sand Off Boush Bluff,
where she grounded early yesterday morn
ing in returning from Newport News TO
this city.
Every pound of her cargo has. been re-
moved, but the efforts to float her on the
tide this morning and evening proved un-
successful on account of a strong north
west wind The effort will be renewed in
the morning, but with little hope OF sue
cess unless the wind changes.
The grounding Of the jamestown seems
to have been the result of improper hand
ling, according to watermen. About three
feet below her water line is exposed. Old
Dominion officials do not think she has
been seriously damaged.
The line did not send out a steamer 10
New York last night but the Jefferson left
here on her regular Trip tonight.
