MEANING OF FLAG

Porto Ricans Say at Protects the Man

San Juan. Porto Rico, May r.
"The American flag does not mean
to us what it did" said a leading
Porto Rican, volcing the prevailing
strong native feeling on the order of
the government at Washington to dis
miss the cases against certain army.
navy and civil officers indicted here
for smuggling.

to the one flying over the building in
which the United States court is held,

tects the man with 'pull' and has
been disgraced.
"These men accused Of smuggling
have laughed AMI sneorei and openly

Of their strength at Washington
Their only excuse has been that army
and navy officers have always been
permitted to smuggle.
"The insular government has com

some Americans have been caught and
they happen to be in swell society the

Ugliest Feeling Since the Invasion.
The ugliest feeling that has prevail
ed in Porto Rico since the American
invasion has been aroused by the ar
Ibitrary measures talsen by the Wash

cure immunity for those smugglers
and this feeling has been intensified
by the resigning Of John ; Hord CHIEF

ordered the prosecuting Of Captain

FEAR EFFECT OF
1904 SCANDALS
Very Caused by Revela-
tiOnS in POSt-Office
Department

Washington, D. c., May s.--Many of
President Roosevelt's close friends in
the senate and house are worried
about the postoffice scandals. They
fear they will be a serious handicap
to Alr Roosevelt in 1904 unless they
are vigorously and quickly dealt with.
Senator Lodge. who is here now, is
one of these. When Senators Aid
rich spooner, Allison and Platt Of
Connecticut, get together at Virginia
Hot Springs next Tuesday, ostensibly
to discuss a new financial measure,
they will also talk over the postoffice
scandals, and Senator Lodge is going
down there to tell them what he
knows.
Meanwhile Postmaster General
Payne is waiting to hear from Chas
Emory Smith and the others to whom
he wrote on Friday for an explanation
of Tulloch's charges, and Tulloch sits
serenely at his home in Forest Glen
and insists he can prove everything
he says. and more, too.
Postmaster Gen Payne has been
trying to keep the public knowledge
of the scandals within bounds. His
attempts resemble those Of a man
fighting a prairie fire. AS soon as he
gets one spot smothered the fire
breaks out somewhere else.
From the moment that Perry Heath
became first assistant postmaster gen
eral in 1897, to the present time, ev-
cry Investigation of any note that has
been started anywhere in the post
office department has been prompt
ly stopped by orders from officials
higher up" There is reason to sup
pose that the Baltimore postoffice
conceals scandals similar to those in
the Washington postoffics. bit when
an investigation was started there 1t
was promptly stopped by orders from
Washington. From time to time in
vestigations have been held behind
closed doors, but the results have al
ways been whitewashed.
The men who do the actual investi
CATION, the experts are skilled, con
= scientious men. They are all in the
civil service and they have nothing to
fear. However, when they begin tC
find out things they are promptly cal
led off and they can do nothing but
obey.
Although no findings have been an
nounced there is not the slightest
doubt that the great machinery Of the
pcstoffice department has been USED
unscrupulously to repay political oh
legations and to favor needy politi
clans. It has been grab-bag viii
plums for all who had the prope
standing, and the men who held tn,

some Of the choicest plums for them
selves.
