UNHAPPY PEOPLE !

Fovorite Amusement to Be
Taken Away From Them.
COCKFIGHTING IS ILLEGAL

80 Declared by Attorney General--lt
Is Likely, However, That Violations
of Law Will BE Winlted ut by the
Local Authorities.
SAN JUAN, p. R., May l4-Attorney
General Harlan has decided that cock
fighting is illegal; so about the only
amusement of the Porto Rlcars is to be
taken from them.
In May general order was issued
which officially approved the regula-
tions of the local society for the prevea-
tion of cruelty to animals.
One of these regulations prohibited
cock. fighting, but the order was never
enforced. Tho attorney general, Oh be-
ing asked to decide whether the gen.
eral order of the military authorities
was still law, held that it musS be con-
sldered MS general police regulation,
to be enforced nS are other laws. The
penalty provided is heavy.
Rough on the Sports.
Sports are entirely lacking in Porto
Rico. The small boys are just begin
ming to know about baseball and i'll n
few years that game may become popu-
lar, but 70 deny the people OF the coun-
try cock. fighting is 70 take from them
their principal recreation.
Chief of Police fletcher said yesterday
that he was i'll favor of cock fighting
and did not intend TO hunt for cock lis.
Any pit against which Il complaint
might be made would BE- raided, but no
Wholesale arrests would follow. The
chief evidently goes on the principle
that u custom of 500 years cannot be
uprooted i'll II day.

Jacksonville Relief association ycster-
day afternoon is was the consensus oS
opinion that the amount of money con-
tributcd for relief of the fire sufferers
was far from adequate to meet the GO.
mands. pnd Presidcnt Garner of the
reiiet association, Bishop Weed of tho
Episcopal diocese of FlOriGa, and Mayor
Bowdcn were appointed committee
TO issue an address TO the people of the
United States. The committee las is
sued the following address:
"To the people of the United States:
awe. the undersigned, representing
the people Of Jacksonville. wish to ex-
this city for the way in which they
have responded to our needs. The re-
lief committee of Jacksonville sent out
4 statement some days ago in answer 10
tho numerous inquiries which the corn.
mittce have received. 1t was then too
soon to estimate the extent of the dam.
age, or TO estimate the extent of the
needs of the people.
"It is now 10 days since the great fire,
and we are beginning to realize the
| greatness of the calamity which has
befallen us. We have received many
generous donations In the way of sup
| plies OF food and clothing, but we find
| ourselves confronted with the need of
clearing away the debris and maintain
ing order and discipline, trying to pre-
vent sickness, and of caring Tor those
| who are sick. II is impossible TO render
l0,O 600 or more people homeless without
extreme suffering; it is impossible to
meet all the cases 1T once.
| "The sanitary condition OF this city
must be perfected and maintained, and
unless we can have the aid OF the peo.
pie of the United States We are com
pelleG to acknowledge our inability TO
cope fully with the situation. Only
those who have bcen III tho city and
can realize the nature of the distress OF
many who have been turned out OF
houses and homes can appreciate the
danger of sickness from the huddled
condition of the people, making the sit
uation here alarming. 1t will take q
very large .2mount Of money at the
smallest estimate to care for the actua
needs of the people and put the city il
a proper condition. Our duty compel.
us TO call upon the generous and alway!
ready people of this country for assist
| ance III this, our hour of noed."

potentiaricS have sent to the ministers
their answer to the demand for 450, ,0OO,-
300 taels (S327, 600, ,OO0) which was made
on May S. The reply is long, and it
may be said that on first reading it
proves more satisfactory to the majority
of the ministers than they had expected
The first paragraph states that China
has not the slightest intention of trying
to escape from the payment of her just
obligations; that she is pledged TO pay
all the legitimate expenses OF tho allies
and all damages actually incurred by
foreigners during the recent crouble,
and will do so.
Resources Diminishing.
The third paragraph sets forth that
the resources of China are diminishing.
The government i'll recent years was
only able to raise $4,000, 600 taelS ($6l,-
600. OO0) q year, OF which "a, ,OOO, Goo taels
(Si7. coo, OO0) go TO pay the war loan and

be paid TO the powers Ill monthly in-

made up.
Neither in the demand nor the reply
is there any mention Of interest.

titionS of tho Chinese treasury are i'm.
