Reports Of MatIny
Among Porto Rital
lnig1anb Exaggerated
Only one man makes trouble

The Treasury Department at Washington
has investigated the report of q mutiny
among Porto Ricans on the steamer Keau-
hou, in the harbor of Honolulu, bound for
sngar plantations on the island of Mani, and
finds that one Of the Porto Ricans, while
under this influence of liquor threateded the
master of the vessel with knife, y
The report to the department says that
the master, who was somewhat timid, intead
of confning the man to his cabin, put back
to Honolulu and asked the police to take the
man ashtre.
AS this man had monty belonging to
other Porto Ricans, they objected to his
being sent ashSure, and policeman was
brought on board to protect the captain until
Maui was reached, when the only Porto
Rican involved in the trouble, sobered up.

Cuban Conservatism.

We would advice every thinking Ameri-
can to read with care the text of the Cuban
Constitution, prepared and adopted by this
convention. We can find in it no evidence
of intent to confiscate the property of any
class of residents in Cuba, no loopholes for
involving the Cuban Government in maze
OF debts-in fact, none of the dangers that
have been again and again pointed out as
reasons why we shonld ruthlessly break our
pligh:ed faith. Instead, there are guarantees
of individual liberty and stable government
as strong as they can be made on paper.
1t provides for absolute equality before the
law, for absa ute uniformity in taxation, for
strong central government, with greater
safeguard for conservatism than ever our
own Constitution contains. And the
matter OF making loans is particularly vel.
guarded. 1t tie Cubans are proposing to do
wild and crazy things, there is no hint of it
either in their Constitution or in the ex.
preston of their influential leaders.

VARIOUS NOTES

A lively evening was passed yesterday on
the Plaza. The entire American com
munity was present and the Porto Rican
element was there in maSse The Band
played their usual round of popular airs and
the entefprisng Bandmaster deserves credit
for what he has done with the raw material
at hand. The Steriopticon views were the
novelty of the evening and gave much
pleasure to young and old alike. Many of
the leading houses of the city have shown
any catchy advertisements through the
sterioptcon that ought to hustle trade

TAKING FOR bis text the words, "Em-
psror Mckinley" Mr.. W. J. Bryan on
Saturday night gave out an extended
statement bearing on the Supreme
Court decision in the insulsr cases. Mr..
Bryan asserts that the Supreme Court
has Joined hands with the President and
Congress 10 an effort to change our
form OF government, and he calls on the
people to repudiate the verdict. He
says: by vote of 8 to 4 the Supreme
Court has declared President Mckinley
emperor of Porto Rico, and according
to the press dispatches the emperor has
gladly and gratefully accepted the title
conferred upon him by the highest
Judicial tribunal OF the land" and adds
that the decision assails the foundation
of the republic on the ground OF ex-
pediency, and made Congress greater
than the constitution-the creature
superior to the creator. Others some
time since, knew that the Mckinley
administration did not let little thing
like the constitution stand 10 the way
Of its own sweet will, but relied upon q
higher law" when it wished to gain its
point, and Mr.. Bryan but makes this
fact the palmer. But MI. Bryan truly says
that the questions involved in the courts
decisions are wholly political, and must
DC huslly determined by the American
people.
