BOY DYING FROM INITIATION.
Another Is in Serious Condition from
Branding With Burning Acid.

New Bedford, Mass, June 19.-Clar-
ence Mason, son of Chief of Police Hen
ry M. Mason, is suffering from an at
tack of blood poisoning and may die as
a result of being branded at an in1tia-
ton of the secret society of the local
High school. Joseph Mcintyre, another
student, is in a serious condition.
One of the principal features OF the
initiation which took place on last
Wednesday, was the burning OF the
Greek letters Phi and Delta on the
foreheads of the candidates by means
of a preparation of nitrate of silver ana
nitric acid. This solution has been used
in all the limitations, and heretofore no
i'll results have accompanied it. In the
preparation used on last Wednesday
night. the amount of nitric acid was
dangerously large. The physicians hold
out hopes of saving the boys lives, but
say the scars will never be eradlcated.

MISSION OF GOV. HUNT.
Comes to Settle Allotment OF Porto
Rican Lands.

Washington. June 19.-Gov. Hunt of
Porto Rico. who has just come from
that island, has been consulting differ
emf members of the cabinet relative to
the division of the public lands in the
island. BY an act of Congress the Pres
;dent was directed to set aside such
nublic property as was necessary for
the government and to turn over the
remainder to the local government. The
different heads of departments have
been informing Gov. Hunt as to their
needs.
There are about 100,O 900 acres of pub
lie lands in Porto Rico, which passed,
for the most part to the United States
under the terms of the treaty of Paris.
Some of these are valuable for agri-
cultural and timber purposes, while
others are close to cities and towns, and
will be available for the extension of
the larger cities.
IT has been claimed since the institution
of civil government that Spain recognized
an ownership in the province of Porto Ill
co as contradstinSuishcd from the owner
ship of the crown of Spain. and that,
therefore, there was n separate owner
ship of certain tracts of those lands in the
island as separate from the United states.
This contention was never admitted by
those representing federal authority eX-
chsivey.
The matter was brought before the last
Congress and effort was made to obtain
legislation which. would authorize dis
tribution of the lands in the island be
tween the federal and inSular governments
without resort to the courts and without
unnecessary delay.
Congress took the matter up, and by
an act approved July I, 1902. entitled AN
act authorizing the President to reserve
public lands and buildings in the Island
of Porto Rico, and for other purposes.
the President was authorized. within one
year after July !. 1902, to make such res
crvations of lands in the island for militia
. ry. naval, lighthouse, marine hospital,
post office. custom house, United States
court and other public purposes as he
might deem necessary, and all lands not
so reserved were granted by the terms of
the act to the government of Porto Rico,
to he held and disposed Of for the use AMI
benefit Of the people of the island. The
needs of the war and navy departments.
respectively. have been put before the
President. and distribution will soon be
had which will forever settle titles in a
most satisfactory way.

With Germany.

London. June 19-Lord CampcrdoWn in
tho House of Lords today, drew the at
tcntion of the House to the recent state

the effect that Germany had minated
that if the other British colonies follow

cnce to British imports Great Britain
would probably not be allowed to cGntinuo

terms.
Lord Camperdown asked that the pa

Lord Iansdowne replied that he desired
10 derrcclte the assumption that the
conduct of Germany was act1Iatcd by de-
lihcratc hostility to Great Britain. He
considered that GermanY'S course was
not unnatural considering the way in
which Great Britain had hit her to deal
with these uCstions concerning the colo
mics.
If Great Britain made her position per-
fectlv clear and Ineligible. as she ought
to do. ii would. he thought, be possible to
