WASHINGTON, April 6. - General

to u suggestion of himself as Vice.
Presidential candidate, he made the fol-
lowing statement:
: II do not think that my name has ever
been mentioned in that connection except
as very many other gentlemen have
been referred to. simply in the way of "a
personal compliment. I have appreciated
these fattering illusions to myself. but
never regarded them as at all serious or
other than the kind expressions of partial
friends. The greatest ambition of my
life has already been realized. I have
seen those who were once Confederate
soldiers fight under the stars and stripes
against foreign foes. as soldiers of the
United States. ! have seen the masses
of the people of all the Southern States
eagerly and earnestly offer their services
to fight in the country's cause, and have
seen them thus become participants in
the events which have suddenly made
ours the largest among the great powers
of the world, and opened avenues which
enable us to establish the most favorable
commercial relat ations with countries con-
tanning nearly one-third the earth's pop
ulation I have seen the cordial relations
which existed during the first seventy
years of our government firmly re-estap
lished between the people of all sections
of our common country. and in all this
i believe / see the dawn Of new pros
perity in which the Southern States VIII
be the largest beneticiaries-

tageous 10 our whole country fills the

larly the natives Of ST. Thomas and st.
Kits. One Porto Rican was killed. ono
was seriously injured, and three negroes ,
Of ST. Kits were dangerously wounded.
The affair was the outcome of the pier
strike. and the pretense for attack ap-
parently was that the English Islanders
were usurping Porto Rican labor. The
islanders feared trouble and some OF
them were armed with reyolvers. The
mob entered the house OF u st. Kits
man; his abdomen was slashed with q.
machete. Another ST. Kits man was
stoned, escaped to the roof and was
forced to jump to the ground. He was
followed in the street and stoned until
exhausted. when his head was hammered
into a jelly.
MARTIAL LAW.
a company of infantry under Captain
Alexander ana Lleutenants Anseli ana
Parker, was called out. martial
law declared. and soldiers now
patrol the streets and tho rum
shops were closed. The mere pres
ence OF the soldiers Dispersed the crowds.
There were no demonstrations after the
arrival of the troops.
The condition OF affairs necessitates the
presence of troops indefinitely In order
to prevent more trouble. The municipal
police are utterly inadequate to preserve
order or handle any crowd. They stood
by during the riot as spectators and
made no attempt to Interfere.
The Porto Tiera district of San juan

is understood that the British Consul has
demanded protection for British subjects.
