Life in Haiti.

| From the Pilgrim.
| No reliable census has been taken OF
| Haiti since the days of the French Roughly
estimated, it is said to contain about "A
million people, 20 per cent of whom are
black and 30 per cent white or mulatto. 1t
is notorious fact that few of the lower
orders go through any civil or religious
marriage. which explains why most of the
children born on the island are of lllegiti-
mate parentage. The native Haitian is
ugly, ignorant. fond of strong drink and
extremely lazy, his favorite occupation
being sleep-when he is not watching
cock-fght. He only labors when compelled
to- and Is very apt to cite old Haitian
proverb to the effect that only white men.
black women and asses work" He seldom
finishes anything he starts, and never
makes repairs when anything wears out
he simply throws 1t away. Under these
circumstances. his utter disregard of re-
sponsibility and habitual reputation of OBJ
| legations must be looked upon as q natural
consequence.
AS a rule. the native Haitian carries his
entire wardrobe on his back, consisting OF
| a pair Of trousers and a coarse shirt, to
which a light hat is added upon occasions.
Children run about the streets in the
tunes of Adam and Eve. and the dusky
daughters of the latter are scantly clad
in flowing draperies that reveal their heav-
Ing bosoms and bare neither eXtremities.
| They are only distinguished by a certain
gracefulness that is acquired by carrying
heavy loads on their heads, and turbans
of the most gaudy description, that make
vivid spots of color in the landscape.
The wretched novels that serve as houses
for the lower classes of the natives scarcely
deserve the designation of home. In many
instances the dimensions are but u by is
feet and they are constructed OF basket
work walls. with steep, matched roofs,
that are overshadowed by majestic palms
and banana trees loaded with fruit In
passing, 1t may be said that the banana
thrives particularly well here, owing to the
fact that there are many secluded val
leys In which T. Is screened from the wind
But TO return to the habitation l was de-
scribing: The single room contains but the
most necessary articles of furniture and a
few cooking utensils. rice and beans
washed down with native rum, being the
national food: for the Haitian cannot be
induced to add anything to his menu that
requires exertion. II you should pass one
of these comfortless abodes in the evening
you would observe the interior dimly flu
minated by means of taper floating on
tumberful Of Palma Christi oil But pow
erty has no terrors for the Haitian: for
here there is no cold, the earth produces
fruits and vegetables In abundance and
the use of clothing is reduced to its lowest
terms.

PORTO RICAN SEAL AND ARMS.
Spanish Form Succeeded the American
Issue on Island.
2ecinI Correspondence Of The Star.


SAN JUAN 2. r., June 20. 1905.
All Official preparations have been made
for the substitution on July l. the begin
ming of the new fiscal year, of the old
Spanish seal and arms of Porto Rico In
place OF the American seal and arms adopt
ed by the Porto Rican legislature three
years ago, when the republicans were in
control. The republican minority declares
that II will never cease TO work for a
| restoration of the American colors and re-
publican leaders say that Senator Foraker
will aid them In their fight. 1t is an his
toric fact that on Saturday next Porto
Rico will assume the unique position OF
being the first American possession TO ded-
icate a church seal to the use of the state,
or at least to replace an american shield
with one distnctively a church etlbiem.

ter of recent record. The majority
Americans and many natives .eemed IL OF
deep significance and historical Import.
Secretary Regis II. Post OF New York. now
acting governor, first introduced the Span
ish arms bill in the council, of which he
is president, and was beaten, TO 4. The
subsequent retirement OF Attorney General
Sweet of Idaho and Auditor Rockwell OF
New York brought two new men. Attorney
General Stewart of Iowa and Auditor
Hines of New York. into the council. The
federals rentroduced the bill In the house
and passed It. The new councilmen voted
with Mr.. Post, Commissioner of the Inte-
rior Elliott and two federals in the coun-
Gil. thus passing the measure finally.
The five votes against II In the council
were those OF Treasurer Willoughby OF
Washington. d. c.; Commissioner of Edu-
cation Falkener of Pennsylvania, Andres
Crosas an Americanized Porto Rican who
was a Connecticut volunteer In the civil
war: DIR. Jose c. Barbosa, the republican
leader and l.. Sanchez Morales. n prom
inent young Porto Rican with strong Amer
lean sympathies. Gov. Winthrop hesitated
some time and then signed the bill. For
two months the local press kept up
furore and the lamb bill was the prin-
cipal topic of discussion.
The contention of those who favored re-
storing the seal of Ferdinand and Isabella
is that 1t is simply an act of courtesy to
the people of Porto Rico and Difference to
their love of old association.
The supporters of the Spanish seal at
tribute opposition to republican desire to
make a sentimental campaign issue and
Furthermore urge that the American coat
of arms and seal are not correct from an
heraldic standpoint. Be that as 1t may, the
American colors must go three days hence
giving place to the symbols of four cen-
turtles of Spanish domination.

JUDGE SCORED OFFENDERS.
Two Sentenced in Porto Rico for Vic.
lating Decency.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF me Sthr
SAN JUAN p r., June 80 1905.
Julio Medina of Mayaguez, who was the
unionist member of the Porto Rico house
of delegates who four months ago intro
duced a bill calling for the independence
of Porto Rico and denouncing American
rule. has been sentenced to six months in
the pententiary for sending obscene mat
ter through the mails. His brother. who
was associated with him In the publication
Of a paper in MayagueZ, was at the same
time sentenced to six months in MayagueZ
jail. Upon the evidence presented by Pos
tai Inspector Mcleod the Medinas were in
dicted by federal grand jury on two
charges and were subsequently promptly
convicted.
In sentencing Julio Medina, who showed
no conjunction. but rather gloried in his
offense against morals and United States
postal laws. Judge McKenna of the United
States district court scathingly rebuked the
prisoner, saying he was unwilling to let
him pose as a martyr to the liberty of the
press
The offense of the Medinas was the pub
LEGATION in their paper of a political car
toon and accompanying lines degrading
that the grand jury recommended that the
court records be not polluted by the min
utes of the case.
Even Medna's political colleagues In the
house of delegates will not be sorry to
have him out of that body. He was elected
as a unionist. but many of them repudiated
him and did their best to hold him and his
viction forever debars him from holding
any public insular Office of trust or emolu-
ment and Is crushing blow to his future
prospects as a leader.
