TWELVE NATIVES KILLED.
AS The Result of the Riot at the Port Of
Spain.
(By the Associated Press. }


Port of Spain, Trinidad, March "a
Twelve natives were killed and sixty
wounded, many of them non -combatants
and women, during yesterdays rioting.
The government building was entirely
destroyed by the rioters and the police
barracks We're damaged by fire and wa
ter.
The rioting had it's origin in the op-
position to the new ordinance which re-
duced the water allowance per head and
increased the water rate. The court
house was surrounded while the legisla-
tive council was in session discussing the
water ordinance. The mob broke through
the police lines and stoned the building
The rioters then demolished the contents
of the lower floor of the government
building and set fire to it. All those at
tending the meeting were assaiIed with
missiles, many persons being struck by
stones and bottles The fire drove the
people from the building and aided by
a part of the local military force, they
defended their lives with rifles. The riot
ers then threatened to burn the business
portion of the town. The commander of
the British cruiser Pallas lying in the
harbor was informed Of the serious sit
uation and he landed detachments of
blue jackets from the Pallas and the
torpedo boat destroyer Rocket with four
machine guns. Two hundred citizens were
armed and sworn in as special constabu-
laries. The sailors and volunteers rem
dered invaluable service in patrolling the
streets throughout the night and guard
ing the bank treasury and other public
buildings.

Ladrones captured eighty rifles.
The American officials, the women and

To be saving in the United States a
man must have moral courage. The
man who refuses to pay more than a
reasonable price for clothes, let US
say, or for dinners, aud who puts the
money thus saved in to a bank feels
like a thief; and people talk and act
as though to save money were ia fact
to steal it,
Only IN extravaganza America, how
ever, is economy disreputable. Here,
as some one has written, where one
man is as good as another, he must be
lavish Of his money; being all sover-
elgns, we must be as prodigal as
princes But in Europe no one re-
spects a man the less or treats him the
worse for trying to live cheaply. Peo-
pie of wealth and breeding do not dis
daln to practice a little economies in
Europe. They dare not to order a big
dinner when they want only light
collation.. They sse not afraid to
travel second class or to put up at the

hotels. San Francisco Bulletin.
