PORTO RICO FREE TRADE.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, June 49,
After careful study of the report
submitted by j. II. Holander, Cover
nor Allen is satisfied that the present
system of insular taxation produces
sufficient revenue for Porto Rico's
needs and that consequently the ISL
and maintains itself without the use
of customs duties on trade with the
United States.
Governor Allen has decided to call
the Porto Rico Assembly in extra ses-
sion for the sole purpose of passing a
resolution to this effect according to
section 3 of the Foraker law The ses-
sion win be held on July 4. The AS
sembly will take no legislative action
other than that herein referred to. II
is announced that the present supply of
sugar will probably be held here until
the establishment of free trade with
the United States.

TO LEAVE CAMP N KINLEY
TROOPS WILL SHORTLY GO TO
KAHAUINI.
War Department Evidently Intends to
Commander at Camp Mckinley.

In conformity with the new plans of
the war department this will probably
be made an artillery district Orders
to this effect have not been issued as
yet but from the fact that the depart
ment has ordered Major Davis of the
artillery corps to Honolulu to relieve
Major Ennis who was in command here
the intention to change the district
and maintain an artillery force here
seems apparent.
Evidently the department proposes
to maintain artillery here until the
Notifications at Pearl Harbor will have
been constructed These will not be
erected for a couple of years yet how
ever and until then the force is likely
to be kept the same with major in
command. When the Notifications
will have been completed the force of
troops will no doubt be increased.
The present force of troops will soon
be moved from Camp Mckinley as the
government has a reservation of 1400
acres at Kahauih where it is proposed
to locate the post. For the present the
land is still under lease to private
parties but as soon as this lease will
have expired the post will be transfer
ed from Camp Mckinley. The houses
and barracks at the present post are
all of a temporary character and the
transfer Will not mean any great eX-
pense to the government. 1t is likely
that the post will eventually be moved
to Pearl Harbor when the fortifications
are completed.

Parker IN WAsHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 16-Col
Samuel Parker, of Hawaii after a short
visit here has gone on to New York
where he will spend some weeks. He
is accompanied by his son and ii was
the latter's first visit to the national
capital. Col. Parker will spend several
months in the United States. He says
that he considers himself out of poll
tics since his defeat for delegate last
fall. Colonel Parker is known, how
ever, to be very influential i'm admins
tration circles and his judgement in
Hawaiian matters is sure to receive
consideration.
The anti-Dole protests which were
presented by Home Ruler Beckley at
San Francisco have not yet been taken
up by the Secretary of the Interior,
whose report n the matter will be de-
sired before any action is had. 1t is
easily dollars to doughnuts" that
Governor Dole is undisturbed.

TIE PAI-AI FOR NOLOKAI
BOARD OF HEALTH IN MUCH
DIFFICULTY.
No Steamer viii Agree to Take the
Stuff Direct-Steps Taken to Have
Kewalo Drained.

The Molokai Paiai contract and tine
Kewalo swamp occupied most of the
time at yesterdays meeting of the
board of health. The board is in much
difficulty regarding the paiai contract.
Attorney j. A. MagOon appeared in be-
half of Lee Chu, who was ready to
supply the paiai, but wanted it accepted
here before being shipped The board
wanted to accept it at Molokai, to in
sure receiving it in good condition, but
as the Wilder Steamship Company
would not guarantee to take the stuff
there direct from Honolulu, no agree
ment could be made.
F. G. Smith was appointed a COM
mittee of one to see the Wilder Com
pany with Magoon and try to make ar
rangements for quick transportation of
the poi. Dr. Sloggett remarked that
the difficulty showed more than ever
the need of a steamer for the board
The board decided that the Kewalo
swamp nuisance must be abated. A
committee consisting of attorney gen.
eral Dole, Dr. Pratt and sanitary Off
Ger Tracy was appointed to confer with
the superintendent of public works and
ascertain what should be done to drain
the land
The board refused to allow Father
Matthias of the Catholic church, to go
to the leper settlement to act as a
substitute for Father Lender while the
latter took a vacation. Dole Thought
that granting such permission would
be a violation of the rules excluding
visitors. and that ministers of all de-
nominations alike should be subject to
the rule.
Bids were opened for furnishing sup
plies for the next six months, and a
number of contracts were awarded.
At the next meeting-of the board DR.
Cooper's resignation as president will
probably be presented. He is about to
leave on a visit to the states.

NASSACRES IN CHINA
BELGIAN
KILLED.
FIFTEEN
PRIESTS
Occurred in Southern Mongolia--Car-
ried on by Troops Under Prince Tuan,
Duke Ian and General Tung.

NEW YORK, June ia cable to the
Sun from Picking says: An Italian
priest who has arrived here from Shansi
confirms the reports previously made
in regard to the massacre of Roman
Catholic clergymen in Southern Mon
golia. He says fifteen Belgian priests
and a number of converts were massa-
cred at Niang Tao LANG, in Southern
Mongolia. several weeks ago by SOL
diers under Prince Tuan. Duke Ian and
General Tung Flu Hsiang
The Belgian Minister is not inclined
to hold the court responsible for the
crime. He says the district where the
massacres occurred is the RENDEZVOUS
of many former officials who have been
degraded or sentenced to Punishment.
These officials are exercising high mill
tary power for the time being. and it
is impossible for the Chinese Govern
ment to suppress them. The policy of
the Belgians is purely commercial. They
are DESTROYS of securing many new
concessions, and are opposed to en-
barrassing the Chinese authorities at
present.
Orders have been issued for the Pc
king Hankow Railway to convey Yuan
Kais troops, who are now leaving
HochienFu from Paoting-Fu, to Pc
king. These soldiers will arrive in
Picking much earlier that was expected
The French troops are still unable to
withdraw from the railway line south
of Paoting-Fu. The recent expedition
of the French and Chinese regular
troops to the revolving district was bar
rem of results, owing partly to the con-
niVance of the Chinese.
PEKING, June 16.-The foreign Min
isters say that, although yesterdays
meeting did not result in the settlement
of matters, still things are working
/ most satisfactorily toward conclusion.

Kelley, Igo and Henebry. These, it is claimed, are not in business now, and one or two of them were not in business 1t the time of the alleged offenses, and that the alleged detectives depended upon Jnc name over the respective doors for in- formation regarding the proprietors of the places. The majority of the liquor dealers are confident that the detec- lives were never in their saloons. I'm
 mediately after court adjourned the detectives, who, it is believed, are agents of the Law and Order league, retired to the Judges room and stayed there until the crowd passed out. The eldest of the trio is Le Clair very conspicuous agent of the league. About year or so ago Le Cia1r was the greater part of day on the stand in the district court in q Nauga tuck case
 Mir Pierce would not reveal the mems names. He said they would be known soon enough.
 Le Clair, it is said, Is now conduct Ing a detective agency on his own hook in New Haven, after several years apprenticeship with the Law and Order league. Who will pay him TOT hls work here is a matter of con- 1ecture. It is said that he had been engaged by party who had lost faith m the local authorities One thing is certain, Le Clair did not do the work thfough love of adventure. A story
 that has gained some credence is that man well known here and who was pefore the city court on one or two oc- caslons for serious otfense was the pllot for Le Clair's detectives in their | tour last fall. On the result of these prosecutions will depend the arrest of another and larger batch. It Is re- ported that only few will escape.

 Morning.
 The city court did. not prove as in- teresting q place as the large crowd that gathered there expected this morning. This was owing to the cases against the ten liquor dealers and the three druggists who were yesterday no- tified to be in court tor violating the liquor laws being adjourned to Tues day. In anticipation of a very large house being in attendance, two police men were on duty at the two doors, with orders to let no one in but wit nesses and those who had business i'll court. The accused occupied all the available space inside the railing.
 The first case called was against John Morrisey for non-support of his wife. A few days before Christmas MoTisey was before the court on q similar charge and was let off on his promise to do better. Since then he has not given his wife one penny. Nor r1ssey's defense was that his wife turned him away saying that she could uo better without him. He was found guilty and sentenced to sixty days n Jall, With the alternative of furnish Ing a bond Of $2UU to pay his Wife st week.
 Business was suspended for a few minutes then. Prosecuting Agent Fierce not being present. When he nnally arrived, he was accompan1ed py two young men and one gray ntiieu man. One Of the young men wore spectacles. It is needless to say tnat they We're objects of considera bIl comment and speculation. Mir Pierce having taken his place at the table ana unrolled his batch of complaints. Attorney CarmOdy arosa and on liounced that he represented eight of lne accused liquor dealers and that he "lsned the cases would be adjourned as he had not had time to nren.rr them. Mir Pierce objected to this m the grounds that the accused were no- tllleu early ln the day to be in court and therefore their counsel ougnt n nave plenty Of time to prepare q ,.;.- fense. Judge Burpee replied that he Would not hear the cases in which Mir Carmody was interested, anyway. and therefore would adjourn them to Tues day.

M'TAMMANY MACHINE
Would Be Great Expense and Not
 Very Satisfactory.

Regarding the possibility of the state adopting the McTammany or any other voting machine. 1t is hard to see where any community would be ma- terially benefited. The voting machine and the counter that necessarily goes with it costs 5000, and as the law pre- scribes that one machine shall suffice for every GOO voters, this would mean q big outlay in the start for any city like Waterbury. People who have seen such machines in operation fear that they would break down in a rush. Another objection is that in a city like this where expert mechanics are plen- tiful as flies around 8 sugar cask. some of them would knock the day lights out of the machine some day or night by the mere twist of screw driver. If the machine broke down during rush the consequences would be serious; there Is no telling now what they would be.

FROM THE PHILIPPINES,
Side Issues of a Soldiers Life in
 China

David Sheehy of Baldwin street has
 received a very interesting letter from
 Morgan Bowling of Company K, Four
 teenth infantry. stationed in the Phil
 ippines. The writer states that he has
 just returned from the scrimmage of
 China and that he is very thankful to
 have got out of that row alive. Many
 a time he says he wished he were at
 home. not that the fighting daunted
 him, but the marching, which was
 very severe. The whole country, he
 says, was like q red hot oven. The
 men had to march through fields of
 corn nine and ten feet high, while the
 sand on the roads such as they are in the Celestial kingdom was over the
 top of their leggins. T think.". said Bowling, that the next place they will send Us to is Ireland to free it: but such orders would be too good, think. When We were in China We worked with the English. and one night in saloon we had ructions. A squad of l English fellows thought I was Dutch and ran down the Irish. But sure. the moment l opened my mouth the fellow saw his mistake, so l buckled into him. and in q minute we were all l fighting. I tell you, Dave. old man. that it. did my heart good to strike l blow for poor old Ireland in this far away country. pfdce tHouSHt never see and much less have a chance to get in blow for the old sod. Next 1 day we were on parade with black l eyes; but that's all right here; every
 thing goes so long as you can fight for | Uncle Sam. The Chinese are the big i gest devils I ever saw. They'd steal 1 the hair off your head and afterward i would have the nerve to try to sell it l to you, for there's lots of money in ! selling hair in this place. They are | also great card players and gamblers.
 I learned one of them how to play ! forty-tive, and didn't the miserable
 cuss beat me out of days wages af-
 forwards. 1 think they're the biggest i rascals in the world He concludes by saying that he is enjoying the world as he travels through 1t and !! hopes to get home soon.
