PORTO RICANS ARE
DISAPPOINTED.
Over Supreme Courts Decisions in
lnsular Cases.
EXPECTED FULL CITIZENSHIP
Also Free Trade with the United
States Legislature May be
Convened.

san Juan. Porto Rico, May 2S,-The
first report OF the Supreme Courts de-
clslon In the De Lima case reached
here last night, which was Interpreted
as declaring the taxation OF Imports
from Porto Rico to the United states
10 per cent of the Dingley duties to be
unconstitutional, and was received
here with great satisfaction. To-day,
when the full report OF the De Lima
case was published, there were evil
dences Of a general feeling OF dlsap-
polntment among Porto kican mer-
chants, who had hoped that the courts
uecIsiun would give Years free trade.
ans are reluctant TO believe
that todays fuu report ~ true.
The concensus of opinion Of the mat
ter seems To be that The Porto Rican
legislature should be convened In eX-
ira session to declare Porto Rico self
supporting without the collection Of
customs on exports between Porto
Rico and the United States. A general
spirit OF complaint that all the Su-
preme Courts decisions were against
Porto Rico is noticeable
when san Juan merchants were
questioned on the subject they mani
tested much regret at the outcome, as
they had hoped 10 have refunded all
the moneys paid under the Is per cent
application Of the Dingley duties II
was generally expected that the courts
decision would grant Porto Rico free
trade and her citizens full citizenship
and constitutional privileges. When
told that II the latter privileges had
been granted the Internal revenue laws
Of the United states would be applied
10 the Islands and that all funds and
customs Hereunder collected would be
deposited in the federal treasury, all
Porto Ricans questioned In the matter
acknowledged that this would be bad,
and that their present status was
preferable. as they did not believe that
The island would stand the collection OF
the United states Internal revenue
and that such collections II attempted
would necessitate an even heavier
property tax for the maintenance OF
Porto Rico,
only a few Porto Rican business men
understand the importance OF the SUI
premp Courts decisions. Those who
are bankers predict an Immediate re-
vlyal Of business, now the status Of
the country has been decided.
The people generally are as much
disappointed at not being granted
American citizenship as they are with
the courts decision IN regard TO the

Porto Ricgns are generally OF the
opinion that their legislature should

Allen is giving his earnest consldera-
ton to the practicablity Of securing

has been fully realized that the insular

BY the provision OF section Of the
