A RIOT In
PORTO RICO.
Fifteen Thousand People in San Juan
Yell: down With the Am
ericans."
RASH ACT OF A CORPORAL.
Six American Soldiers Charge the Mob and
Prevent the Superintendent Of Public
Schools From Being Maltreated-
Sensational Stories Circulated.

San Juan de Porto Rico, March s.
A serious riot occurred here yesterday.
At o'clock in the evening five artit-
lerymen and corporal of the artillery,
Hiscock, left the guard post without or
ders, and charged across the plaza into
the street, in which a mob had assem-
bled. The soldiers fired a volley into
the air and dispersed the mob, and res
cued School superintendent Armstrong,
who was besieged by the mob in a
house situated about block from the
city center. For hours previous to the
rescue Of Superintendent Armstrong
the city had BEEN overrun by riotous
crowd Of probably $4,000 persons, who
shouted, Down with the Americans!
The superintendent had reprimanded
girl 10 years of age for disobedience.
She reported to her mother that she had
been kicked and abused. Sensational
stories were circulated, with the result
that the mob formed and stoned Super
intendent Armstrong. The insular po-
lice, who have no jurisdiction in the
city except in cases or emergency ana
at the call of the mayor and governor,
were not called upon until just before
the artillerymen took the initiative
without orders and dispersed the gath
ering. In the meantime, the city police
had fired about 100 shots, mostly in the
air, for there were no casualties. Sew
eral Americans, including a treasury
clerk, We're stoned. Governor Allen de-
plores the action of the artillerymen.
Corporal Hiscock has been placed un-
der arrest. 1t is probable that he will
be tried by court-martial. 1t is prob
able that four-fifths of those who took
part in the rioting did not know, why
they were mobbing the Americans.

What n Singer Must Know,

For singer to succeed 1t is necessa-
ry that he should have more than q
voice or be vocalist. Wagner has set
a higher standard, and to him we owe
It, Not only the cultivation of the
voice, but the higher education is nee
essary. The voice alone is not suffi-
cient, even in the concert room. Sing
ing has grown to be quite another art.
The singer must be an impersonator.
I myself studied for five years at the
university. But that, as a rule, holds
one too long. But at least a good gen.
ence is necessary.
The day is past when a fiacre driver.
because he has a beautiful voice, is ac-
cepted as a singer; so also is the day
when concert in costume Is regarded
as an opera. The standard of imper-
sonation has been immeasurably raised
by Wagner. History, literature, knowl-
edge of the plastic arts, are all neces-
sary to the singer.
American women have, many of
them, beautiful voices. Again. many
of them go abroad to study, That Is a
mistake. 1t is at home that they should
lay the foundation. Build by degrees.
DO not aim to be a star, but a good art
ist. Study always, be content with
small roles. The rest will come of IT.

Evening Post. tfA-i
