Ordinance Awaits Signature of
President.

President Roosevelt has under con-
sideration an ordinance granting the
Nandegrift Company, OF Philadelphia. a
franchise to construct an electric ROAD
crossing Porto Rico and connecting san
Juan and Ponce.
The ordinance was passed by the ex-
eeutive council of Porto Rico and sub
mitted to the Department Of Justice
which approved II and submitted It 10
the President several days ago. The
Presidents signature alone is neces-
sary TO make the construction OF the
road possible
The line which the Vandegrift Com
pany purposes TO build will follow the
military road across the isIazd very
closely and VIII cross 1t In several
places Besides operating it's own line
of road eighty miles in length, the com
pany will furnish power TO minor cleo
trict lines and factories
On account of mountains in the into
rior Of Porto RicO no railways have
yet been constructed across IL, and the
projected line will open a field which
has been practically untouched 1t will
act as feeder for lines which are now
operated in the lowlands along the coast
and is said 10 be OF great Importance to
the agricultural interests OF the island.

gatien.
AS a matter OF fact. il is said that of
ficials OF the department regard the ef-
fort Of Major Rathbone to besmear the
record OF General Wood as merely an at
tempt to get revenge.
General Woods course is entirely in
dorsed by both the President and Secre-
tary Root. and they regard the charges as

Wood had received a handsome silver
service from the proprietors OF the "Jai

silver service was presented TO General
Wood as a testimonial by a number OF
prominent Spanish merchants. some OF
them members of the .Jai Afai1~ club
and others not associated with It. The
plate was admitted free OF duty in ac-
cordance with the rule that no tariff
