San Juan, P. r. June Z, 1902.
To the Editor of
BoLETIN MERcANTIL.

Recently it came to my knowledge
that certain newspapers from Spain
contained Lottery advertisements The
Postal Law of the United States pro-
hibit the delivery of all matter pertain
ing to lotteries or gift enterprises or the
use of the mails in any way for the
transmission of lottery matter. In ac-
cordance with these laws I instructed
the PoStmasters in Porto Rico to refuse
delivery of the Spanish newspapers re-
Gently received containing lottery mat
ter, until could communicate the facts
to the Postmaster General in Washing
ton. / have received instructions from
the Postmaster General stating that
these papers may be delivered until
July IS next; after that time if any are
received at the Offices in Porto Rico
containing lottery matter, delivery will
be refused and the papers sent to the
Dead Letter Office as Dead Matter.
realize that the majority of people
in Porto Rico who are subscribers to
these papers care nothing for these lot
terry advertisements, but are naturally
anxious to receive the papers from their
mother county, hence this action has
been taken that they may not be de.
prived Of their papers before the pub
fishers of the same have had due notice
that they will not be delivered here
after July 18th, unless lottery matter is
expunged from them. respectfully
suggest that the subscribers to these
papers inform the publishers in Spair
of this action. The lpostal authorities
in Madrid will be cabled in regard t
the matter.
Very respectfully
/ Lawrence Letherman,
Inspector-tn-C Charge.

To Cost One Million Six Hundred
Thousand Francs.
Special cablegram to Boletln Mercantil.


New York, June 2nd.--Cables from
Paris announce that the project of
erecting statue to Mr.. Mckinley in
the French Capital finds general sup
port
Subscriptions are being constantly
received in the American Legation
from distinguished French men as well
as from Americans.
Before the catastrophe in Martinique
the sum collected was. only 100000
francs, but yesterday the contributions
rose to 100000 francs.
This unexpected dis lay of enthu-
siasm is believed to be due to the
spontaneous generosity with which the
American Government came to the as
sistance of the French citizens in Mar
Unique at the first news of the disastor.

The ADhlCi|e Cool Strike.
A Conference between Workmen
and Owners.
Special cablegram to Boletln Mercantil

New York June 2ad.-It is expected
that the miners on strike will return to
their work to morrow, after having
assisted at long conference with the
mine owners. An increase of wages
has been agreed TO but not as large
as the workmen demanded; the increase
of wages was the principal motive for
the strike and it is believed that being
partly satisfied on this point the miners
will waive the question of decrease of
hours of labof. In consequence of the
strike the price of coal went up to such
a height that all translation was impors-
sible.
