Secretary of Porto Rico Believes
This VIII Result from Recent
Supreme Court Decision.

New Work, June Among the
passengers who arrived Monday on
the steamer Ponce, from San Juan,
was w. II. Hunt, secretary of Porto
Rico. Judge Hunt will proceed to
Washington.
Mr.. Hunt said that conflicting re-
ports of the decisions in the Porto
Rican cases made it somewhat I'M
certain when he left the island as
to what was the true import. I'm
der the decisions, however, he be-
lieved it would not be many months
before there would be free trade
between Porto Rico and the United
States. He said that when the new
revenue law went into operation
after July l the government of the
island, with duties collected on
foreign importations and with eX-
else taxes, would have enough rev.
enue to maintain itself. Conditions
in Porto Rico were improving and
hopeful. The people, he said, are
adapting themselves to the changed
government, and are looking for
ward to gradual Improvement

Peoria Excursion Results in
Fatality.

Special to HERALD.
Peoria, June 3, 1901 Tom Mason,
switchman in the employee Of the
Iowa Central, was fatally injured
Sunday afternoon in the Iowa Central
yards bylbeing struck and run over
by the Excursion train that came
from Oskaloosa bound for Traction
park.
Mason was in the yards awaiting
for some relatives that were supposed
to be upon the train. He had walked
through the yards considerable dis
lance to meet the coaches as they
were returning from taking part of
the excursionists to the park. The
train was being backed and was NOV
ing at fair rate of speed under the
yard limit. Mason saw that he would
be late to return to the stopping
place and thought to board the train
and thus return with it to the station.
He attempted to jump upon the train
but missed his footing for some
reason and fell back against box
car that was standing upon the next
track. The motion of the passing
train gave the body considerable
force against the car and it re-
bounded and fell under the wheels of
the moving passenger train. Before
the man could get from the position
the wheels had caught him and had
crossed over his limbs. The man
was alive this morning but viii prob
ably die.
[Tom Mason was formerly from this
city going from here to Peoria where
he has been in the employ of the
Central in the yards of that city as a
switchman. His many friends here
will sympathise with him and trust
that he may take the small chance
that remains for his recovery and pull

VILLAGE BURNED.
Town of Jasper, Tex, Is Completely
Destroyed by Fire--Loss
About 100000.

Beaumont, Tex, June 3.-The little
town of Jasper, capital of Jasper
county, was entirely wiped out Sum
day morning by fire. Seventeen
houses, including every business
house in the place, and a number of
residences were destroyed. The fire
broke out at three a. M, and in the
absence of a fire department the
town was at the mercy of the flames.
Previous to the fire the post Office
safe and the safe of the county treas
urer had been blown open and
robbed. The conclusion of the peo-
pie of Jasper is that burglars blew
open these safes and then set fire to
the town to cover up their crime and
create an excitement which would
afford them an opportunity to es-
cape. The loss is q tx9ated at $780,
600 by the fire. %ould not be
learned what the thieves secured
from the safes. AS far as can be
learned there were no lives lost and
no one hurt. The robbers escaped.

All reports indicate some adverse
effects ofilcontinued cool and dry

dry weather has been favorable for
cultivation; IandIfthe early planted
fields areIgenerally clean and in good
filth. In the southern. districts con-
MISUNDERSTANDING has been necces-

PASSPORTS FOR FIIIpINos.
The Request of Two Natives wishing
TO Travel in Russia
Is Granted.

London, june 3.-The officials of
the United States embassy inform
the press that the matter of granting
a passport to the Filipino who APP
piled for one Friday had to be re-
ferred to Washington, as it was the
first time such an application had
been made by a person of this ma
tionality. The Filipino desired to
travel in Russia. and though the APP
plicant took the oath of allegiance
to the United States in Spanish and
English the embassy considered it
advisable to submit the matter by
cable to Washington, as it has fire.
quently done when passports were
requested. The embassy is now
awaiting reply. The applicant was
quite contented and thanked the Of
ficials of the embassy for the action
taken.
Washington, June BIN answer to
his application for instructions, Sec
rotary Hay has directed Ambassador
Choate, at London, to issue passports
to the two Filipinos who appeared
at the embassy Friday "as residents
of the Philippine islands, and as such
entitled to the protection of the
United States"
The decision upon this point is of
Importance, as having perhaps some
bearing upon the status of the peo-
pie of the Philippines. Porto Rico and
Guam. A year ago the decision was
reached to regard the Porto Ricans as
entitled to the protection conveyed
by an American passport, but for
NAL decision of the test case was
prevented through the withdrawal
of the application. The Foraker act
determined the right of the Porto
Ricans as "citizens of Porto Rico"
to the protection of the United
States government. 1t is now held
that the Spooner law conveys the
same privilege to the habitants of
the Philippines.
The United States statutes prohibit
the issue of passport to any but
American citizens. But these later
acts, the Foraker act and the Spoon
er act, impose obligations in their
turn which may be regarded as quail
flying the original act, and may en-
able the government to avoid deci-
sion upon the question of the Amer
lean citizenship of the islanders. At
any rate the circular instructions
now in formulation, which will be
sent out to all United States diplo-
matte and consular representatives,
will direct them to issue, not certif-
icates, but genuine American pass
ports to the islanders.
