In negotiating -.i.e treaty u ith
Spain, it would have been very easy
to have secured reduction in the
tariff On Portorican coffee; but coffee
is not product Of Inc United States,
it is something that pertains 10 = col
sny and for this articlc--which in the.
| time of the former sovereignty en-.
tered the Spanish markets duty free
while it now pays drty of fourteen
pesos quintal-there was no desire
to secure any sort. of tariff reduction,
for fear it would have ito be obta-
ined at the cost OF some American
product.
What opinion can be entertained
|of mother country which, while
|upkolding a tariff which protects all
its own products, leaves in complete
4 abandonment the products of its CO.
lonial possessions, which is coffee in
the case of Porto Rico, country well
known to be pre-en1inently coffee
producing country
And if this isHthe way commercial
treaties and reciprocal arrangements
are negotiated, if the principal sour
&C of the wealth of one Of it's colon
les is utterly ignored, left without
the slightest tariff protection, by the
national authorities. If this article is
not even mentioned among the pref
erred products, it is sufficient to
bring censure and criticism upon
such an unmindful and inconsiderate
mother country aud cause it to appear
in international opinion as anything
but sympathetic and commendable.
And in the midst Of this inexcusa-
bic Abandonment, words of justice, OF
liberty and democracy SQUAD hollow
and farcical; and instead of inspiring
confidence, trust and tranquility they
produce suspicion, distrust and un-
rest. soIq.2
1t is imperative and indispensable
that thc National government take
Us into account in making its econom-
ic plans and industrial treaties, it is
bound to defend our interests in COM
mon with it's own and strive, even
though it fails to succeed, to restore
to us our fermer prosperity o. which

Cable advices received on Friday
state that King Alfonso has signed
the commercial treaty between the
United States and Spain and tha: il
will 60 into effect September first OF
the present year.
According to the opinions of the
Madrid papers. the treaty is plainly
one of marked advantage TO Spain.
If this turns out to be fact, we
Will rejoice, but at the same time,
we note q grave omission made by
our tutors, an inexcusab1e omission
which can snly be appreciated when
we take into consideration the attitu-
de of those who, in the new metropo-
lis of Porto Rico, direct the economic
policy and have in charge the vel
fare of the colony.
We are not familiar with the full
text of the treaty, bot we do know
that it reduces the tariff on Spain
ish wines, in exchange for certain
concessions favorable to the United
States.
But there is nothing 10 indicate
that the representatives, Of the Uni
ted States, in arranging the treaty
with Spain, made any effort to get
the latter to redNce the tariff on Por-
to Rican coffee, although they must
ksow that formerly Spain was one Of
the principal markets for that pro-
duct, and among its largest consul
merS.
Our tutors apparently have hot Civ
en- a thought to Our coffee IN arrrag-
ing the trety in question.
Not only is it unjust to enforce
such a tariff as now exists with the
United States, il is Gallons indif-
ference, a want o. consideration car.
ried to the utmost limits; Il shows
unmistakably that or tutors utterly
ignore this colony when they make
treaties with other countries.
1t might be said hat they are
even unaware that coffee is grown
in the Island, and il is certain that
they have ignored the fact that this
product is the principal source Of In
sular wealth when they make reci-
procal treaties with other nations.

PUEBLO OBSESVES THE DAY
Veterans There Who Participated
in the Memorable Fight
So Long Ago.

Pueblo, Col, April G.-Today being
the fourty-fourth anniversary of the
battle Of Shiloh, the survivors of that
battle living in this city and vicinity
will hold a memorial celebration and
reunion this evening. The orBaniza-
tion of the survivors of the battle of
Shiloh was effected last summer at
the National encampment of the G.
A. r. in Denver, and Major Hooper
was chosen the first national COM
mander. Since that a great deal of in
terest has been taken in the organi-
cation, and the organization of a
ladies' auxiliary is seriously thought
of at this time.
On Sunday morning, April 9th, A
years ago, the Confedates, under the
command of General Albert Sioney
Johnston, attacked Grants army. The
first days contest resulted most Ia
Yorably for the Confederates, and
there is every reason to believe that
it would have ended in a complete vic
tory had not General Johnston been
killed at the most critical moment
during the battle. General Beaure-
gard, who succeeded to the command
called off the battle too soon, and the
next day Grants forces, reinforced
by Buell's army of $4,000 men, re
gained their lost positions and slowly
pressed back the army of Beauregard
which, after two days of hard fight
ing, fell back to Corinth.

NAVAL COMPLAINTS ARE
BECOMING A NUISANCE

Washington, d. c., April 6.-There
is trouble ahead for Justice Gould of
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia. He is the subject of
communication to the president from
the secretary of the navy. The judge
had before him the other day two
youthful culprits who confessed to
the crime of house-breaking. There
were eXtenuating circumstances, add
ed to which the offenders were
young, a combination which led the
court to exercise leniency in imposing
sentence He sent one of the boys
to Jail for five months, and, upon the
representation of the attorneys and
family of the other prisoner the latter
was released, with the understanding
that he was to enlist in the naval ser

enlistment in the army or navy in

EVANeELIsTs OPEN CAMPAIGN
IN NEW YORK CITY

New York, April 6.-The summer
evangelstic campaign for New York
viii be opened this evning with a
meeting in Carnegie hall, in which
the Rev, X. A. Torrey and Charles M.
Alexander will take part. This will
be the first time they have been
heard in this city since their return
from abroad, and the meeting is eek
pected to be highly successful. The
demand for tickets has been enorm-
Gus, and 1t will be necessary TO hold
overflow meetings in neighboring
churches. The speakers, who will ad-
dress the Carnegie hall meetings will
also speek in the overflow meetings.
The chorus of five hundred voices,
which has been organized for tnIs
occasion, will be led by Mr.. Alexan-
der. Other musical features will be
the Park Sisters cornet quartette and
Prof. Raffaellis Italian orchestra of
thirty pieces. The Rev. DR.. Wilton
Merle Smith will preside at the mass
meeting. Besides the Rev. Torrey
the list of speakers will include the
