This vessel, which has a gross dis placement of 3100 tons, with engines of 2,481-horse-poWer, consumed PTS barrels of oil per day in steaming 354 knots.

REGISTRATION A FARCE.
Porto Ricans Fast Learning the Ways
 of Politics.

San Juan, Porto Rico, October 16.-The election registers have been complete farce. The federals were shut out in a majority of the precincts of the island, due to an order of the executive council placing a majority of representatives on each board At Viques eight insular po- licemen guarded the booth, no federals were admitted and none registered.
 In many towns there have been no federal registrations, and in consequence in several places in addition to Cayey, the federals formally retired from the elections In order to remedy this. The supervisors of elections allowed an extra registration day yesterday, but with the same result Although instructions were wired to all precincts to protect the rights of the federals, they were uni formly disregarded Wherever federals attempted to register there was more or less disorder. Shooting affrays occurred at Agua Dilla, Corozol, viques and Mayaguez. Some persons were wounded but there were no fatalities. Wholesale arrests of federals were made and thou sands of protests and charges have been filed.
