SAN JUAN P. R., July Is, 1903.
Porto Ricans are prone to protest In many
queer ways against real and fancied griev-
arces, but for the present the palm belongs
to Juana Diaz. Every business place in
that town has been closed indefinitely and
will remain shut, the owners declare, unsil
there is a reduction of the taxes imposed
upon them by the municipal authorities.
All the merchants have signed the follow
ing circular:
ITO the public: The undersigned commit
try of this town, with a most laudable
purpose, and for the good of the poorer
classes. have decided to close all the busi-
ness houses on account of the burdenSome
taxes imposed by the municipal council,
and which will be injurious to the poor, as
they will have to pay the tax through in
creased prices for the necessary commod-
tiles of lfe.''
Much inconvenience to citizens has re-
suited as the nearest base of supplies Is

mood also A few days ago Acting Gov
ernor Hartzell reinstated Mayor Ramos
who had been suspended under charges by
Governor Hunt, but who was acquitted on
trial in the Arecibo district court. To show
their contempt for the acting governor the
anti-Ramos men marched two hours about
the town carrying black flags with the
stars and stripes and they also fioated
black flags over their residences and places
of business. Mayor Ramos laughed at
them from a balcony. but for two days
bloodshed was feared.
