Boer Prisoners.

New YoRK, July 20.-The British
steamer Reading, fresh from Ascen-
scion and St. Helene, is now at Jer.
sey City.
"There are just 400 Boer prison.
ers on the island" said the Read
ing's commander, Captain Fishley,
"and of these II per cent are Trans
vaalers and Orange Free Skaters.
The remaining 83 per cent is made
up 1f other nationalities in this
order: Scandinavians, Germans,
Itallians, q few Russians, Irishmen
and even Englishmen, a handful OF
Sootchmen. a few Americans, few
Greeks aud scatterings from other
nationalities.
"The farmers are complaining be-
cause the Governor has impressed
the surplus labor for work on the
breakwater. A large number of the
Boer prisoners are also employed on
the breakwater at five shillings q
day. Some do not choose to work
others labor for the farmers and the
older prisoners white out toys
which they sell.
General Cropie is also weary ol
his detention, but says little. l wal
told that the proportion of native
Beers was representative OF their
entire army"

UNDERWRITERS


Information to the effect that Germany
and the Netherlands are planning to lay a
new cable to connect with the Dutch East
Irdies and make them independent Of the
British cable syndicate has been transmit
ted to the State Department by Consul
General Guenther at Frankfort, Germany.
1t Is proposed to have the main line go to
Shanghai, with branch cables from there
north to kyao-chau, east to Japan and
America. and south to the Indian archipel-
ago. The southern line will have its first
station on the Bismark and Caroline Is
lands, and from there will go west in a
roundabout way through the Dutch do
m!nions to the North Natuna Islands, with
out touching any of the British possessions.
The North Natuna Islands will form the
terminus Of the line.
The Netherlands share of the construc-
ton will consist Of three cables. from the
Natuna Islands to Pontianac. Billion,
Banka and Palembang, in connection with
the land line, which will traverse the coun-
try by way Of Kalianda through the Sunda
straits to Batavia; from Palembang direct
to Batavia. and from Macassar to Ambon.
Here Germany will continue the cable to
German New Guinea to connect with the
main line.
Consul General Guenther says that 1t is
understood that Germany will commences
this work In the near future.

View of Correspondent Regarding
Policy of China.
LONDON, February 15-The Tien Tsin
correspondent of the Standard, wiring yes
terday, says:
The situation in Pekin is again becom-
ing complicated, and the prospects of a
settlement are more remote than ever. II
Is reported that the signatures of the
Chinese plenipotentiaries to the peace con-
ditions are not in correct form
1T is believed that Sir Ernest Mason
Satow will take decisive early action. Count
Won Waldersee is reported to have sent an
ultimatum to the imperial court. All ap
pearances indicate that China's immovabie
obstinacy is merely intended to facilitate
the active preparations she is making for
renewal of hostilities in the spring.
The Chinese Engineering and Mining
Company has been transformed into a linn
tied liability company with British ana con-
tinental capital to the amount of fl.O0O.OOO.
The new organization acquires the Kali
Ping coal ei 1,sn rs,n feet of
Kong and Canton. and interests in the
railways. The capital will be fully SUBJ
scribed. the transfer taking place Febru-
airy g.
No official communication has yet been
made to the ENJOYS in Pekin by the Chi
nese plenipotentiares on behalf Of the
court, but 1t Is known that during the
last three days four dispatches from the
court have been received.
At present the negotiations are no fur
Their advanced than they were at the
meeting when the Chinese plenipotentia-
ries agreed to the death of Prince Chuang
and Yu-Hsien.
Private dispatches from Sian-Fu say that
strong opposition has developed among
the officials to an agreement by the court
to the demands Of the powers, as well as
an opposition to the reform edict. Several
memorials have been presented to Emperor
Kwang su urging him to refuse further
negotiations and to promote those whom
the foreigners desire executed. On the
other hand, it appears that Shang Chi
Tung, the viceroy of Hankow. urges the
commencement Of reform Immediately.
A dispatch from Berlin says: "he oIin-
ion is expressed in high circles and even
in section of the semi-ofhcial press that
Count Won Waldersee's usefulness in China
Is about ended. Reports received here,
both official and private, describe the diff
ficulties under which he is laboring. These
are particularly annoying in connection
with the French contingent. which Is very
obstreperous. and 1t is evident that the
French commander, General Bailloud, is
supported in his attitude by the Paris
government.

PORTO RICANS AWAKENING.
Beginning to Recognize Their New
Rights and Responsibilities.


Rights and Responsibilities.
L. 8. Rowe of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania, member of the Porto Rican code
recently arrived in Washing
ton direct from San Juan, where he has
spent the last seven months. DR.. Rowe
spent the day in conference with Senator
Foraker and Attorney General Griggs dis
cussing matters relating to the report of
the commission, which is to be presented
on the 18th of April next.
Speaking of the situation in Porto Rico,
Prof Rowe said: 1T would be difficult to
imagine a more complex problem or gov
eminent than that which faced the civil
authorities in Porto Rico on the LIST of May
Of last year. They found an island indus
trially weakened by reason Of the uncer-
tainty incidental to change OF sover-
eighty financially ruined as q result of the
hurricane and with a system Of law and
administration based upon principles radi-
cally different from those of any state or
territory of the Union. The first and most
important lesson which the people OF the
island had to learn was that American rule
means neither paternalism nor favoritism.
The consistent and unremitting effort OF
the government to arouse the spirit OF self
help and to impress the idea OF individual
responsibility is bearing fruit. The Porto
Ricans now realize the extension or politi-
cal rights carries with It corresponding du-
ties, and that any attempt to shirk them Is
certain to reflect on their political capacity.
That this lesson has been we'll learned is
shown in the attitude of the federal party,
which withdrew from the elections last No
vember, but which is now prepared to CO.
operate with the government in the work
Of reorganization.
Throughout the island new spirit of
effort and enterprise prevails. All the
sugar-growing districts are in a highly
prosperous condition. New railway lines
are being projected, wharf facilities are
rapidly Increasing in all the important
ports. the larger towns are being provided
with electric railways. The laboring classes
who were accustomed to work for IS and
80 cents a day, are now asking and receiv-
ing So 60 and 70 cents. Coffee raising is
the only industry which has not recovered
from the effects Of the hurricane, but even
here there are abundant indications of i'm
provement."
