ELECTION A FARCE.
San Juan, in Porto Rico, Gets a
Touch of Machine Politics.


Touch of Machine Politics.
San Juan, Porto Rico, Oct. 16.-The
election registrations have been a COM
plete farce. The Federals were shut
out in a majority of the precincts of
the island, due to an order of the exec
utive council placing a majority of Re-
publcans on each board. At Vieques
eight insular policemen guarded the
booth, no Federals were admitted and
none registered. In many towns there
have been no Federal registrations, and
in consequence in several towns in
addition to Cayey, the Fed
erals formally retired from the
elections. In order to remedy
this the supervisor of elections allowed
an extra registration day, yesterday
but with the same result. Although
instructions were wired to all the pre-
cincts to protect the rights of the Fed
erals they were uniformly disregarded
Wherever Federals attempted to reg
lister Their was more or less disorder
Shooting affairs occurred at Aguadilla,
Corozal, Vieques and Mayaguez. Some
persons were wounded, but there were
no fatalities. Wholesale arrests of
Federals were made and thousands of
protests and charges have been filed.

SOUFRIERE ERUPTION.
Both Craters Stenming and sand
Falling Heavily.

Kingstown, st. Vincent, Oct ia
terrific eruption of the Soufriere vol
cano commenced last night. During
the preceding day (Tuesday) earth
tremors, apparently too slight to be
considered important, were experienced
in the central and northern parts of
the island
At s o'clock last night there were in
dubitable indications of an eruption.
Rambling noises were heard, and they
increased until o'clock, when the
roaring volcanic giant belched out its
deadly contents. The eruption was fol-
lowed by a brief lull. Then, from 10
o'clock until O'Clock this morning
the upheaVal continued. The outbreak
was accompanied by an incessant and
confused cannonading. There were in
candescent clouds, and sparkling mat
ter was elected. After 4 o'clock the
disturbance gradually decreased, but
the noise of the boiling caldron is still
audible in the districts near the vol
cano.
Both craters of the Soufriere were
apparently active; they have been
steaming all day long. Sand fell
heavily everywhere from 1870 O'Clock
until z:3O TINS morning. AT southern
points the sand is half an inch deep,
the depth gradually increasing towards
the volcanic cone, where there were
showers of large stones, pebbles and
cinders.
Kingston and other southern points
of the island have not been damaged
Reports from the Windward district
are awaited.
The sand elected during this erup-
ton has a stronger sulphurous odor
than any previously thrown out, and
one superficial square foot of it weighs
exactly one pound.

THE PENDING TREATY.
Prospects Are That Cuba VIII Rati-
fy United States Proposition.


fy United states Proposition.
Havana, Oct. 16.-Business men who
have been called in to consult with
President Palma on the proposed Gu
ban-American treaty feel assured that
the cabinet will approve the PROPOSE
ton of the United States and that it
will be sent to Congress within a few
days for adoption. There is some fear
that the radical element in Congress
will object to approving any CONNER
cial treaty without first settling the
question of coaling stations and with
out being informed clearly on the in
tentions of the United States with re-
gard to the enforcement of the Plat
amendment.
The coal treaty submitted to Cuba
by Washington is practically the Bliss
tariff schedule which was drawn UP
Just before the American military gov
eminent withdrew from the island, and
which leaves the present duty in force
against all other nations, but gives the
United States a differential of from 20
to 60 per cent. In return the United
States offers Cuba a reduction in du-
ties of 20 per cent.
