PORTO RIoAN PROTEST. w.
Commissioners Frame New Amend
ments to the Hollander Bill.

New York, April 9.-Wenceslao Bor-
da, Jr., Vicente Balbas and Charles
Borda, Porto Rican commissioners to
Washington to protest against the sys
tenn of local taxation known as the
Hollander bill, were appointed by the
Planters, Merchants and Bankers as
sociation and by a mass meeting of
Porto Ricans held at San Juan Feb.
last. The protest of the Porto Ricans,
expressed in 1S detailed amendments
to the bill, was submitted at Wash
ington March II by their commission
ers.
In view of the apparent failure OF
this original protest. the commissioners
are now. on advices from Porto Rico
and by formal action of the body, de-
termined, if possible. to compromise on
two amendments. These amendments
are directed to the sections of the Hol-
lander bill which provides for closing
out at auction in six months real prop
erty upon which taxes remain unpaid
and the imposition of a tax of so cents
gallon on rum. 1t is hoped by the
commissioners that their protest when
limited to these two amendments in

TUNG-fU' REBELLION.
1t May Stimulate Peking ENJOYS to
Hasten Their Work.
ANARCHY In CHINA FEARED.
Ut Is Believed In Washington That
such a Condition Will Result
il the Ministers Do Not
Act Quickly.

Washington, April 9.-Had the rep
reservations of Mr. Rockhill been heed
cd the officials here are confident that
the formidable rebellion which has now
broken out under the lead of General
Tung- Fu-Siang in Shensi province
would never have occurred.
Mr.. Rockhill had satisfied himself
that the Chinese government was aDso-
lutely sincere when it pleaded inability
to punish this great general and Prince
'ruan in the full measure demanded by
the powers. 1t is thought here that
more modest demands could have been
met by the Chinese government ana
the rebellion averted.
The indemnity question also has con-
sumed an unconScionable length OF
time. and if it had been settled sew
eral weeks or even months ago the pres
ent difficulty, it is believed, would have
been impossible.
/ 1t is the hope therefore of the offi-
cials here that Tung-Fu-Siang' move
ment will stimulate the tagging minis
ters at Peking to final action.> Ii II
does not. if the court is obliged to tiee
from Sinan Flu, and the great lang-tse
viceroys are overwhelmed by General
Tung- -Fu-Siang, as seems entirely prob
able, then all China will be plunged IL
anarchy, in the estimate of the officials
here.
The Indemnity Question.

ther from Mr.. Rockhill, our specia
commissioner at Picking. touching tn

ment respecting the indemnity to b

MAMMOTH SPINNING TRUST.
II Includes Practically Every Con
ccrn Throughout Europe.

Washington, April .. = Information
concerning the formation of what
amounts to a gigantic trust cmbrac-
ing every linen spinning concern on the
continent of Europe, has reached the
state department in a report from Unit
ed States Consul Mahin, at Reichen-
berg Austria.
For some time, says the consul, it has
been understood that the Austrian.
German and Belgian spinners of linen
thread had decided to unite in re-
duction of product. From Paris has
come thc news that the French spin
ncrs also are to join in reducing the
output Of the mills.
The object is believed to be to steady
and possibly to enhance the price of
linen yarn. Makers of linen cloth have
during the fall and winter suffered
from Tile high price Of yarn, and this
enormous combination will make con
,itions still worse, says the consul.
