A S OF IGLESIAS.
Acting Governor of Porto Rico Wants
a Full understanding.

SAN JUAN, p. r., Dec. 1S.-The case of
Santiago Iglesias, the labor organizer,
a interest in government circles. The
acting Governor, Charles Hartzell, has
called Attorney General Harlan's atten-
ton to the alleged conspiracy to raise the
price of labor, on which charge Ig1esias
was sentenced to three years imprison-
ment. Mr.. Hartzell says the matter has
caused widespread comment, particularly
regarding the nature of the alleged offense,
and requests that the government of Porto
Rico be quickly advised as to the exact
character and scope of the law under which
Iglesias was sentenced, in order hat proper
amendments may be enacted in case Of
any injustice resulting from the existence
of such laws.
Mr.. Hartzell also has urged an early
hearing for Iglesias's appeal by the Su-
preme Court, so that a final determination
may be had not only OF the guilt or inno-
cence of Iglesias and the other defendants,
but of the existence or nonexistence or the
law under which they are charged. He
further suggests an appeal for the amend
ment of the existing laws during the COM
ing session of the Legislature.

INVITATION TO INTERVENE.
Germany Wants America to Pull
Chestnuts from south African Fire.

BERLIN, Dec. 1S.-A curious article has
appeared in the Kreuz Zeitung. which, al
though it cannot be called even a semi
official newspaper, sometimes reflects gov
eminent views. The article dwells on the
alleged probability of American interven-
ton in South Africa, remarks that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is not in harmony with the
bulk of public sentiment, and adds:
Americans must remember that i'm 1888
the Union would not have been possible ex-
cept through foreign Intervention. If
there are far-seeing statesmen in America
it must be hoped that they will soon see
that they are under a high moral obliga-
ton to intervene in South Africa and that
they are strong enough to do so enec-
lively"
The article goes on to say that the United
States occupies a unique position, being
without fear of military rivals across her
borders: that she would need only to give
orders 70 march On Canada to bring Great
Britain TO terms, and that If she took such
a step she would win the sympathies of the
Christian world.
TIL editor of the Kreuz Zeitung inter-
weaves considerable talk in this article
about corruption in high places in the
United States and the dominance Of plutoc-
racy there, all of which, he says, would
be forgiven her If she would only inter
vene In South Africa.
