The Island Does Not Pay.
Fiorceful Words From
Brumbaugh.


Wenceslao Borda, Jr., having charged
in the New York Post that the expense
of educating Porto Rican students in. the
United States was charged up to the
island tax payers, DIR. Brumbaugh replied
in recent issue as follous to some one who
sent him copy of the issue containing
Borda'S statement:
San Juan, June 1, 1901.
L thank you for yours of the 21st of May.
This pernicious propaganda against fairness
and justice still goes on. To be plain, the
statement CT Mr.. Borda that many children
have been sent to the United States to be
educated at the expense of Porto Rican tax
payers is notoriously false. Not one cent
of the peoples money has been used for any
such purpose. Every boy and girl from
Porto Rico now studying in the United States
has been sent there s0lthout one cent of ex-
pense to the island. The total number ii
above fifty, and nearly all of them have beer
sent through my own personal influence az
solicitation. Twenty-seven Of them are -
Carlisle, Pa, being educated free by thu
Government of the United States. The.
! were even transported there from this islant
without cent of cost to anybody save th'
Government. Everything in this depart
ment is open to investigation by anybody a
any time, and every statement that I max
to you, you are entirely free to use in an,
way you think is right. We have difficul
problems here, and these problems are in
tensifed by the persistent propaganda con
Quoted in the North against the best inter
ests Of the people and the government
Porto Rico.
Respectfully yours,
nj. G. BRUMBAUGH,
Commissioner.

ng Of Unrest in American
Industrial Circles.


Iu the industrial werld OF the United
States there seems at present to exist feel
ing of much uncertainty and unrest. 1t is
feared that terrf; struggle between cap
ital aud organized labor is Suspelding.
Strikes, great and small, have been declared
in many important branches OF industry.
The building trades are affected In several
OF the large cities, numerous mines have
had to cease operations, manufacturing es-
tablishments have been obliged to close
dovn and even some railroads have been
partially crippled in their mechanical dep.
artments. In most cases these strikes seem
TO have been the result not 80 much of
specific grievances on the part of the men
as to wages or hours of work, as of the in
sistence- by the trades unions of recognition
Of their organizations by employers and that
the employers shall comply with union
rules and regulations in the management Of
their establishments so far as the employ
ment, discharge, wages, hours of work, etc
of EMPLOYEES are concerned. These demands
have been generally resisted and much
troubles has ensued and more is looked for.
What the result will be cannot now be
foreseen, but it is to be hoped that the u4.
derlying good sense of both parties, and the
fact that their common interests are in
volved in hearty cooperation, may lead to
such mutual concessions as will lead to a
happy termination of existing difficulties
Death of Secretary Hays Son.
The tragic death of young Adelbert Hay
the son Of the Secretary of State of the
United States came as shock to the whole
country. not only on account of the res

had himself already attained a national
reputation and great things were expected
of him. From all parts of the United
States and from every civilized nation mes.
sages of coincidence and sympathy have
poured in upon the heartbroken father and
mother, and while nothing can even mea
liorat at present the effects of this terrible
blow, the sincere expressions of the worlds
sympathy must needs be grateful to them
in their sorrow.

THE FILIPINO
EXAES AT GUAM

The ex-navy hospital ship Solace.
now navy transport, arrived at Ca
vite Monday morning at 2:So a IN. from
San Francisco, via Honolulu and Guam.
The present commander Of the Solace
is Herbert Winslow, son of Captain
Winslow, who was in command OF the
old Kearsage when she had her mem
orable encounter with the Confederate
cruiser Alabama at Cherbourg of the
coast of France. The Alabama was
sunk, and up TO within few years ago
= buoy marked the resting place of this
famous old warship.
The Solace brought from Guam the
, guard that was sent with the exiles,
! and some of the employees. Major Hen
! ry Orwig who was the Commaned In
charge, reports that the prisoners are
in excellent spirits that Is as well
as could be expected under the existing
! circumstances. They, one and all. ex-
pressed great regret at the leave-tak-
ing of the army branch, as they were
not quite sure of the treatment that
would be meted out to them by the
change OF commands. The transfer OF
the command to the marines was ne
lcessitated by the mastering out OF Ma
jor Orwig and his guard, as all whom
are volunteers.
The place where the prisoners are To-
cated, is about three miles from Agana,
or half way between that town and
Peti. 1t was once the residence of some
Spanish officers. All the old buildings
have been torn down, and new ones
erected for the exiles and the officers in
charge. The grounds include one acre,
and this is strongly enclosed with
