"Ihe White EagD' Was Not
PardOned And Will Not Be.

Some time ago an article appeared in one
of the daily papers in this City stating that
Jose Maldonado Roman, commonly known
as the White Eagle, who was serving sn
uaexpired term for robbery and new one for
re esistauce to the authorities and sedition,
,cou!d be pardoned. This statement is in
correct az the Governor has absolutely re-
fused to pardon this man until the expiration
of his term for seditior resistance to the au
thorities at Ponce. In his answer to the pardon
the Go, ernor states that the man is not en-.
titled to clemency on that charge, but that
after that term, which is eight years, has eI
pred, he will consider an application for
pardon. The criminal history of s'The Whi,e
Eagle" dates back to the Spanish times when
he was committed to prison for robbery, wal
taken to Coamo for new trial, but escaped
on the way. He then went to the United
States and returned here at the time Of the
American occupation and on his return tc
Ponce committed in that City the crime fol

The Irish Lion.

The following clipping from the New
York "Sun," Sept. %, may be Of interest
to students OF zoology. Though snakes do
not flourish in the Emerald Isle except an
insignificant species which was not indiges
nous to the soil when st. Patrick drove all
the reptiles QUIT would appear, however,
that Erin is veritable beaM-ideal climate
for the king of beasts, especially the South
African variety.
sIrish lions are rare birds,o as Sir BOYLE
ROCHE might say, bat they are getting
along swimmingly in the Dublin Zoo.
About two hundred Of them have been rails
ell, and the young.s ubs sold brought S25.OOO
into the treasury of the Gardens. New the
managers of the institution are going into
the business of lion raising with vengeance
1t appears that the climate of Dublin agrees
perfectly with lions, however sorely it may
strain the constitutions Of other animals. AL
the Irish lions are of South African descent
and it is hardly necessary to say that II
Dublin they must be counted among the
rebels. 1t is to be hoped that the British
Government, in view of this fact, may no
crush this lion-raising industry in Ireland
because the splendid animals, rebels though
they be, are intelligent, docile and goO(
natured, like all Irish.born creatures, excep
bulls.
The king of the Dublin lions is a magni
ficent black.maned fellow called Cesar
and his wife is beautiful Nubian lioness
Their family foots total, SO far, of nine
and the expectations are bright. The British
lion died recently in Africa. Long live tn
Irish lions in Dublin !"
