4 Delegation Nay Come to washing
ton to Refute Its Statements ana
to Present the other Side-Cbarges
Made of Corruption in the Island.
$. 3. Palmer. son of s. r. Palmer the
Vice President Of the Federal party Of
Porto Rico, who Is attending the National
University in this city. yesterday received
advices from Ponce, which state that the
people of the island are inclined to bit
terly resent the recent report on the ad-
ministration OF affairs and on the condi-
tions prevailing in Porto Rico. which was
prepared by Charles H. Allen, Governor
Of the island.
The statement that the people of Porto
Rico are too lazy to desire a Territorial
form Of government" has raised storm
of protests. and it is probable that dele
cation will be sent TO this city to resent
and deny many of the other statements
which were made by Governor Allen. MIR.
Palmer asserts that the report is in it
self mainly a mass of untruths, and that
it was conceived by clique of local poll
ticians, who have secured the good Sraces
of the executive.
Any intelligent man ought to be able
to see that conditions are not as stated
by Governor Allen" said Mr.. Palmer last
night He asserts that the people are
prosperous. and that the Republican party
of Porto Rico and the United States Ad-
ministraUion have been a godsend to the
starving aborigines who compose the pop
uIation As TO prosperity, l can only refer
YOU to the great decrease in trade and
to the daily bulletins of failures all over
the island. a country without agricul-
ture is country without commerce, and
there can be no agriculture in Porto Rico
until the United States enables the farm
ers and plantation owners to work their
y loan or a subsidy would
work wonders. The people ask only for
a start.
''As to the good government now exist
ing in the island, l can only say that the
law making body consists of thirty-fve
DELEGATES. and that out of this number
only four have titles of any kind Ihe
balance are politicians and men who
have no business making laws for any
people.
Governor Allen would not dare TO re-
port to Washington the corrupt state OF
affairs existing on the island. 1t would
not be policy, and it would hurt his party.
We have sent delegations here to protest
against the measures forced upon a Strug-
Cling people but to no avail. The reck-
oning will come later.
.Mass-meetings will be held all over
the island to Tepudiate Governor Alien
