PORTO RICANs IN DISTRESS,
Transports Will Make Weekly TrfD
With Relief.

Adjutant General Corbin received cable
message this morning from General Davis,
commanding the department of Porto Rico,
saying that the condition Of the inhabitants
of Porto Rico is so distressing and the suf-
fering SO gene eral and widespread over the
island that he will require at least 800 tons
of food supplies weekly until further notice,
in proportions Of four-sevenths rice, two
sevenths beans and one-fourteenth each Of
bacon and Goldfish. Arrangements are being
made by the subsistence and quartermaster
generals departments to meet this requisi-
ton as promptly and regularly as possible
The transport Burnside. which is sched-
uled to leave New York for San Juan, Porto
Rico, on the 21st instant, will probably take
the first consignment Of relief supplies and
similar shipments will be made each sue
ceeding week by other transports on the
route. The Burnside arrived at New York
yesterday from the West Indies with mis-
cellaneous cargo, including the remains of
twelve soldiers who lost their lives in Cuba
since the American military occupa ton.
Eight Of these bodies will be brought to
Washington for interment in the cemetery
at Arlington. The others will be turned
over to relatives for interment in private
cemeteries.

Bill for the Extension of the Metro.
politan Railway.
A bill was introduced in the Senate today
by Mr.. Mcmillan authorizing and requiring
| the Metropolitan Railroad Company to ex-
tend its double tracks with the underground
electric system from its present terminus at
bia road, easterly along Columbia road to
the present 10Th street northwest; thence
north along 10Th street to Park street; pro-
vided that no cars shall be switched in the
streets after the expiration Of two years
from the passage Of this act.
Before this extension shall be Constructed
Columbia road and the present 10Th street
is to be widened to not less than eighty
feet, as the Commissioners may consider
advisable. Condemnation proceedings are
to be Instituted to secure land needed in
widening these thoroughfares.
The bill also provides that the operation
of the Metropolitan railroad within the Cap
itol grounds shall be under the control of
the architect of the Capitol.
These extensions are to be made within
one year of the date Of the widening Of
the highways on which they are to be built
Not less than one-half Of the damages
awarded for the condemnation of land shall
be assessed against land lying on each side
OF those portions of 18th street and Column
pa avenue. that are to be widened and ex-
tended to depth of go feet. If q part
only OF any piece OF ground is condemned
the jury shall not take into consideration
any benefits that may accrue to the re-
malnder thereof from the widening. but
such benefits shall be considered In deter
mining what assessments shall be made on
or against such part Of the land that NAV
not be taken. '

The head of Thomas II. Benton of Mis-
souri, will decorate the new 2 per cent
bonds for 81 ESQ. The selection is peculiarly
appropriate. although Benton was demo-
crat, because he was one of the first gold
standard men in the United States, and by
his persistent opposition to paper and silver
and demand for the single gold standard
was given the soubriQuet of "Old Bullion
The new registered bonds will all bear
draped figures on each side, one represent

war. The first will hold tablet bearing the
word Lex" The other figure will hold a
frebrand aloft and will have a battle scene
for background. Different portraits will
decorate bonds of different denomina tions,
but the portrait of "Old Bullion was the
first one selected by Secretary Gage and
the bonds for $1,000 will be the first ones
printed. The coupon bonds will differ from
the present form by being issued in books
of three leaves of coupons instead of sin
gle sheet. These books will contain forty
coupons for each leaf in five rows of eight
coupons in row, representing the 120 cou-
pons required for quarterly interest pay

new bonds will be pushed as rapidly as
possible at the bureau of engraving and

N0NEWSFROM" M"BOBS"
Public Interest Absorbed in Attempt
to Relieve Mafeking.
A CHANCE FOR GEN. MEfHUEH
Belief That Roberts VIII Move
on Pretoria Soon.
THE ASHONA INCIDENT L

LONDON. March 19.-Neither the adj
vance by way of Fourteen Streams nor Col.
Plumer's movement has yet resulted in
bringing news of Mafeking's relief. From
Bloemfontein and Natal there are appar-
entity no serious developments, and public
interest remains centered in Col. Baden
Powell's force, undistracted by events of
greater military Importance. However, it
appears likely that the converging of the
troops toward Mafeking indicates much
more serious purpose than merely its relief.
Judging from Lord Methuen's presence at
Warrentown. and the capture of the near
by passage of the Naal at Fourteen Streams,
keen observers believe Lord Roberts med
itates an advance in force on Pretoria by
way of Rustenburg. This might start either
from Fourteen Streams or klerksdorp, and
would probably coincide with an advance
via Bloemfontcln and Natal. Thus Lord
Methuen may be given the chance to re-
deem his reputation, as has been done with
Gen. Gatacre.
Commandant Olivier has accomplished
another step In his retreat from northern
Cape Colony, evacuating ROuxville and 60
ing toward kroOnst tadt, where President
Steyn is.

A POLICY OF DELAY
Plan of Manipulators of the Porto Rican
Tariff.
Prefer to Let the Matter Go on With
out Action Until Islanders
Petition for Relief.

| The plan of the manipulators of the Porto
| Riean tariff scheme is to let the matter
| hang on without legislation, the Dfngley
tariff rates meanwhile being in force
against Porto Rico, until the people in the
isalnd, despairing of relief cry out for the
10 per cent tariff rather than have the more
oppressive rates continue indefinitely.
They propose to starve the Porto Ricans
into submission, and, after petitions pray
ing for relief, even on the 10 per cent tariff
basis, secure the passage of the bill on the
plea that the Porto Ricans themselves
favor it. Delay of action is in the interest
of the traff advocates. The sugar people
are quite as well satisfied with the contin-
uance of the Dingley law as they would be
with the passage of the Foraker bill with
the House provision; and, moreover they
have before them the prospect of the
adoption of their measure if they simply
mold out against more just legislation.
The steering committee have made no
apparent progress. and the whole matter
Is now being conducted in a manner to in
legislation.
1t Is extremely probable that If a vote
could be had now squarely on the PROPOSE
tion 10 amend the Foraker bill so as to
provide for free trade with Porto Rico the
proposition would have a majority in the
senate, but the approach to a vote of this
sort is held off by the proposition for re-
publican senators to wait for a. compromise
TO be worked out.
Mr. Beveridsc for Free Trade.
Senator Beveridge today offered the fol-
lowing substitute for the tariff section of
the Porto Rico government bill:
All articles coming into the United
States from Porto Rico or going into Porto
Rico from the United States shall be ad-
nitted free Of duty, but this act shall not
De construed as extending the Constitu-
thereof over Porto Rico, and it is hereby
declared that the Constitution of the
United States is not extended over Porto
Rico
Differs From Mr.. Davis Amendment
Speaking of the amendment, Senator
Beveridge said: I'VE have followed the
Presidents suggestion appropriating S2,0O0,-
N0 for the immediate relief of Porto Rico
which is more than the House bill would
have given the island in the entire two
years of its life. This removes the rea-
son which members had for voting for the
bill, and restores us to the position first
announced by the President. On the great
principles involved we are in entire har-
mony with the President. The object of
my amendment is the same as that of
Senator Davis amendment, but the latter
extends all OF the taxation and revenue
provisions Of the Constitution over Porto
Rico, and when any part of the Consti-
tuition is extended, it is there forever 1t
may be that experience will demonstrate
that we shall want to change the laws of
taxation of Porto Rico, and. If so. l fear
that the extension of the taxing provisions
Of the Constitution would prevent us. On
all questions of power Congress should be
left with an absolutely free and unshack-
eled hand

PEOPLE WELL SATISFIED.
Gen. Wheeler Tells About Conditions
on Guam.

General Wheeler called at the Navy De-
partment Saturday afternoon and talked
with Secretary Long and Assistant Secre-
tary Allen in regard to his recent visit to
the Island of Guam, under the administra-
tion of Captain Leary, the naval governor.
He said he found that the island was well
favored ciimaticaliy, that it was of strategic
Importance to the United States, was espe-
cially valuable as a midway coaling place in
the long run from Honolulu to Manila and
that the people were well satisfied with the
change in their condition. They were of a
docile, pleasing disposition. and those of the
inhabitants who preserved the traits of the
original owners of the soil were of fine ply
stque. Considering the extensive reforms
Captain Leary had been obliged to inaugu-
rate, he had succeeded very well in holding
the regard OF the majority of the people OF
the island,

A Notable Career.

NOtable Career.
Judge Bingham's death removes the last
OF the prominent participants in the trial OF
the alleged conspiraters in the assassination
OF President Lincoln. He was special Judge

carawas county, Ohio, from 1876 TO 1S49
He was elected as a republican to Con-
gress in 1854, and reelected three times,
sitting until 1858. In the Thirty-fourth h
Congress he prepared the report on the
1ihnols contested election cases. and was
chairman of the managers of the House
