lncosuIto as might be desirable, as
there are in AdJuntas no ovens for the
cooking of tarts, as is shown by its
having TO ask aid from the govern

The reception will surely be mo-
wing Spectacle.
1t is pity they have no time TO
prepare an abusive choir, some OF
the countrymen who have been
treated for aenemls. reinforced by
the victims of all official spectacles:
the children of the public schools
Because the generosity and above
all the disinte res edne IS Of these two
officials deserve the fullest recognition
from the people of AdJuntas; in It's
recognition. they should be allowed 10
give free rein 10 their enthusiasm and
observe the greatest c,re that the pa

features.
1t is evident that there will not be
wanting among the participants IN the
manifestation, those who will think Of
the suspicious coincidence of the visit
of the Two councinen IN connection
with the previous announcement Of the
timely donation, and those as vel. who
would have deemed more fitting and
Seemly visit without announcement,
an expressed preference that the
people should remain at home and not
.oblige the city authorities to eXpcnd
part of the donation On the festivities
in honor of the august and exalted
visitors.

feel hunger for applause
The necessity OF something other
than the merited censure, which is
their due, must be felt by these .wo

exercising charity with the money
which in justice, belongs to the
Municipality aud to the tax payers of
the ruined community of Adjuntas
and TO all the towns Of the Island
en- the coffee industry.
But perhaps the Two functionaries
will meet with an ovation who echos
will reverberate even TO Washington,
accom- panied by the voices of protest
which are provoked by. their reckless
conduct on all occasions
If we hear applause. We will know
why it breaks forth If they have an
ovation and manifest ,tion, they will |
be purchased because nothing else is
possible in community which was
rich and prosperous when Porto Rican |
coffee rose 10 a renumerative price |
