Are Porto Ricans Citizens
of the United States?

There is one point IN connect on with the
question of whether or not the Inhabitants
of Porto Rico are citizens Of the United
States which appears to have escaped atten
tion. We refer to the fact that the Foraker
Law, In the language used in t-e seventh
section, by implication al least, considers the
residents of L orto Rico citizens Of The Unit
ed States. This is the section defining who
are "The People of Porto Rico and reads
as follows:
Sec. {. That all inhabitants continuing
to reside therein who were Spanish sol iectS
on the eleventh day of April, eighteen hun
dred and ninety nine, and then resided i'll
Porto Rico, and their children b, rn SUB.
sequent thereto, Shall be deemed and held
to be citizens of Porto Rico, and as such
entitled to the protection of the United
States, except such as shall have elected to
preserve their allegiance to the Cro1rn OF
Spain on or before the eleventh day Of April,
nineteen hundred, liz accordance with the
provisions of the treaty Of peace between the
United States and Spain entered into on the
eleventh day Of April, eighteen hundred and
ninety-nint; and they, together with such
citizens of the United States as may reside
IN Porto Rico, shall constitute a body p0isic
under the name of The People of Porto X co.
with governmental powers as hereinafter
conferred, and with power to sue and be
sued as SUCH"
1t will be noted that in defining "The
People of Porto Rico" but two classes Of
persons are mentioned, namely spanish sub.
lecS who have not elected 20 preserve their
allegiance 10 Spain, and -sach citizens of
the United States as may reside IN Porto
PicO7 Tne latter designation may appear
somewhat ambiguous, but certainly it cannot
have been intended to include Only parsons
from the United States proper, as such al
Interpretation would entirely exclude natives
of Porto Rico from being considered part of
The People of Porto Rice 1t follows,
1ecesarily, that in the view Of the trainers
Of the Foraker Act ali the Inhabitants Of
the lslaud were assumed to be ''citizens OF
the United States residing in Porto Rico"
Numerous instances could be recalled in
which hoth the Executive and Judicial
authorities OF the I niled States have recog-
nizcd the American citizenship ot the Porto
Rlcans; but we merely, at this time desire
10 call attention to what seems 30 be con
elusive TESTIMONY from the Organic Law

StevedOrs Strike.

The San Juan stevedors. are out on strike
again. This smOrning when the CALIFORNIAN
arrived they refused to discharge her unless
they received % cents an hour for their
work, an advance of 10 cents per hour.
The strikers have always worked for the
other steamship lines coming to San Juan
at the regulation price and it looks as if
they were, for some reason or other, inclined
to discriminate against the N, Y. & Z. r..
Steamship Co.
This company, however, will not tolerote
such conduct on the part of the dockmen,
and it is limited that some fine morning
they NAH find like OthelIo that their occupa
ton is gone.
Manager Butler has always been fair,
and often liberal with his employees and
as. far as can be learned they have no
cause OF complaint against the company.

DESIGNS.
Board of Construction Discuss
ing ArmOr and Armament.
j Inch Guns Considered Necessary

I Provision for two battle ships and two
armored cruisers is contained in the last
naval appropriation law, but the Navy de.
partment is stopped from awarding con-
tracts for their construction until Congress
passes upon the designs for the ships. TIE
Board of Construction is discussing tae
question of armor and armament.
1t seems to be the unanimous opinion
ofthe Board that the main battery of each
of the battle ships should contain either 12-
inch, inch and inch guns or II inch and
| Z inch guns. The former battery, in case of
the adoption of the three caibres designa-
ted, would probably comprise four I2's, four
SIS and twelve G's. Should superposed tu
rTets be increased to eight, and the number
of 6'S reduced it is thought that twelve
and possibly FOURTEEN 7.lnch guns could be
installed with four II inch guns.
Tue best naval practice abroad is to re.
duce the calibre of the heavy guns, but The
Board decided that II inch guns are nece-
SSary to batter the heavy armcr of an enc
my's ship, and they acil certainly be incu-
ded IN the armament adopted. There are
no 7lnch guns in service, but one is under
construction and will be tested in about two
months.
Rear Admiral Bowles, Chief Construc.
tor, has submitted plan to the Navy De.
partment to give torpedo boat destroyers
an additional knot in speed. He has re.
commended that the sterns of nine destro.
yer be remodelled, permitting a freer wake
and minimizing the interference with the
screws. These boats where designed to
make twenty eight, twenty nine and some
thirty Snots per hour.
