Change Name of Regiment.

Colonel George Wayne Anderson,
commanding the Seventeen regiment
infantry Virginia volunteers, has writ
ten requesting the advice of his company
and battalion officers regarding the adj
visibility of changing the official name
of the regiment from the Seventeen TO
the First. There are only two regiments
in the State, and the idea is that they
be known as the First and Second. The
present regimental numbers is contin-
uation of the numbers in vogue directly
after the civil war, the regiments in ex-
istence at the time of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war being eliminated. Majer
Stanley w. Martin, commanding the
Third battalion OF the Seventieth, 10
opposed to the change, and has so writ
ten Colonel Anderson. Major Martin
says that numbers Of new men have
come into the service since the Spanish
American war who have grown TO love
the regiment as ii now exists and are
working hard to make record for it
He says that he is satisfied with the
regiment as it is, and sees no good -ea-
son why the name should be changed,
Captain Harry NJ. Musselman, on the
other hand, il inclined to be in favor Of

SINCE the time of the Spanish "war''
it has been claimed by the jingoesin this
country that the people of Porto Rico
were delighted al having the United States
relieve them of the Spanish yoke" but
direct information from that island is
not in accord with such claims, as will
be seen by the following letter from San
Juan
Even the most optimistic and patient
Americans here are viewing with ap.
prehension the anti-American spirit
which seems to be Grazing the house OF
delegates and which is evident all over
the island. The most sensational politi-
cal incident Of the past week was rabid
anti-American speech by Speaker Ma
tienzo Cintron of the House, a leader Of
the unionist party and who was four
wears q member of the executive council
rs an appointee Of President Mckinley.
His speech was filled with contemplate
references to the administration and was
cheered to the echo by the excited dele
gates. Delegate 0choteco declared that
"Porto Ricans should ask for their
liberty with their heads held up and not
grovelling on the ground, and other
bitter speeches were made before the
passing of the memorial to the United
States Congress demanding greater liber-
ties. Delegate Medina, of Mayagues,
still stands boldly for the independence
of Porto Rico. He says that American
rule is more tyrannical than that of
Spain and that Porto Rico will never he
content until she is free. The local
press calls him the Patrick Henry of
the house.
