TOO MANY IRISH.
Chamberlain Will Try to Reduce
Representation.

New York. Aug. 12.-Mr. Chamber
lain's reference at the Blenheim demon
stration to the misrepresentation of
Ireland in the imperial parliament is
believed to foreshadow a government
bill with the object of correcting the
anomalies in representation of the dir
ferent parts Of the United Kingdom,
says the London correspondent of the
Tribune
The government, Of course. has had
no chance of passing such a measure
during the present session. but it is
well known that Mr.. Chamberlain is
very eager to reduce the number Of
Irish members, and if he is allowed to
have his way the prime minister will
announce a redistribution bill in the
kings speech at the opening of parlia-
ment in 1902. The tactics adopted by
the Nationalist at Westminster have
lost them good deal of English sym
pathy and the reduction of their num-
Der would please the bulk of the people
of Great Britain, irrespective of party.
Should the king. however, adhere to his
present intention of visiting ireland
next April the cabinet might find it ad-
visable to postpone the matter for a
more OppOrtune time.

lied and nearly every Saturday after
noon a game is played between two
picked mines. The interest became so
great that a league was proposed. The
plan took well with the people and six
clubs have been formed from the cleri-
cal force of the various government
offices. A number of Americans en-
ployed by private concerns and several
Porto Ricans are members of the diff
ferent clubs. All the clubs have sent to
the United States for uniforms. Not a
few of the players could draw salaries
in professional lists. Grounds have been
secured at Puerta de TERRA, about a
ten minutes trolley ride from San
Juan. A large subscription list was
raised to defray expenses The dia-
mond will be levelled and filed Two
games will now be played each Satur-

A case of suspected yellow fever was
discovered last week in house near

city authorities at once placed guards
around the house and did not permit
the inmate to have any communication
with the outside world.
Several deaths have occurred recent
~ near Patillas, in the eastern part of
the island which are said to be due to
starvation. The sanitary conditions of
Patillas are extremely vile. There are
no beds or cots. The inmates swing in
hammocks or have a nest in one cor
ner of the room. AS the municipality is
in straitened circumstances it is i'm
possible to relieve these conditions. An
exceedingly large percentage of deaths
in this district are from starvation.
This is considered rather strange in
view of Porto Rico's reputed prosper
ity.
