Taxes on the Land.
When asked about the, alleged un-
popularity of the Hollander tax Law
Governor Allen explained that there
was naturally much misunderstanding
about the Inaugural ton of The purely
American system of taxation. based
upon property valuations, to take the
place of the old Spanish system that
had been in vogue over 800 years. he
said that the total valuation OF The
property in, Porto Rico would be close
10 SlO0,oO0,O00, and under the law bur
halI OF per cent could oe levied for
municipal purposes and the same for
insular purposes. This would retire
about 100000 The other million nee
essary to make up the total BUDGET
would be raised by excise taxes on
rum. cigars, cigarettes, etc.
Taxes Are Low.
Governor Allen explained that the
complaint made against the features

GOV. A[LEN'S HIGH PRAISE
FOR PEOPLE OF PORTO RICO.
President Prevails Upon Him TO Return to The
Island as Chief Executive.
Says the Citizens of That Country Are Peaceabe and
Law Abiding Lot.

Washington. April s.NChsrles H. AL
len, governor of Porto Rico. who ar
rived in Washington today, had an
hours conference with President Nc
Kinley. Great interest was manifested
in Governor Aliens visit, on account of
rumors that have been rife ever since
he sailed from SAM Juan that it was
his intention to reffnquish his post in
the island
After the conference. however Gov
ernor Allen announced that he would
not resign and would return to his
duties about the first week in May, af-
ter settling up some private affairs in
Boston. 1t is pretty we'll understood
that Governor Allen came TO Washing
ton in the hope that the president would
relieve him of his duties in Porto Rico,
and that he asked the president to do
so, but the president prevailed upon
him to continue at the head OF the adj
miniStration of the affairs of the island.
Governor Allen enjoys the confidence OF
the president to a very high degree, and
he felt that 1t was his duty to accede
to the wishes of the chief executive.
Speaking about the affairs of the
island Governor Allen said that the
situation had improved very materially
in every way since he became governor
over a year ago.
'"The civil government established in
Porto Rico Governor Allen said, is
working smoothly. The various depart
ments have been organized and our
administration is seemingly giving gem

there has been wonderful progress
