The evidence yesterday pitted
the white soldier against the col
ored. and at the end Of the rav's
hearing the situation was SO con
fused that the value OF the evidence
must be determined by what is de-
veloped through other witnesses.
Witnesses yesterday testified that
the shooting began in the rear OF
the commissary. away from the
town and continued around the
road and into the town. while the
call 10 arms was being sounded.
When the afternoon session was
opened. Charles w. Askew, a form
er soldier, VINO had given confusing
testimony during the forenoon, was
not recalled, as was expected. Sen
ator Foraker called Hoyt Robinson,
formerly of Company ID. who was
musician of the guard. and sounded
the call TO arms on the night OF Au
gust IS.
The call was sounded, he said. at
about midnight. after he had been
awakened by Sergt. Reid. His call
was taken up by the trumpeters at
the barracks. He said the firing
continued for about fifteen minutes
after the call ceased. He thought
the men firing the shots were sta
toned in the town near the gate
into tha military reservation. lie
did not hear any shots passing over
the guardhouse.

WHITE SOLDIER TEsTIFIEs.

The next witness was William c.
Nolan, private of the first class in
the Hospital Corps, a white soldier,
who had been stationed at Fort
Brown for two years prior to the ar
rival of the Negro soldiers. He
said that he was at the hospital,
when the shooting began, with Ser
geants Altman and Sanborn, and
three or four patients. He was a
wake. he said. suffering with mus
cular rheumatism. The first shot.
he thought, came from the rear of
the commissary, back of the hos
pital, and not from the direction OF
the town. He said ne paid no at
tention TO that. but in a few minutes
there were three more shots. and
then five shots, which he said sound
ed as If the men firing were moving
around the road.
Northeast of the town IS a saloon
which was opened for the Negro
soldier trade, and Nolan said that
from near that point several more
shots were fired. and then from a
point near the gate into the reser-
walton came a volley of shots. He
heard no bullets nor saw any flash
es from guns. He thought the fort
was being attacked, but he would
not be certain that the shooters
were outside or within the military
inclosure.

cRITicIsE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Porto Rican Says Citizenship Without
Self.GoNcrnnent Is pebasinq.

San Juan, p. r., Dec. 29.-R. Ma
tienzo Cintron, the speaker OF the
house of delegates and the leader o.
the Unionist party, has published al
article in La Correspondence, the
party organ, In which he criticises the
message of President Roosevelt to the
American congress containing refer
ences to Porto Rico. Senior Cintron
says that citizenship without self-gov
eminent has no value, and is even de
basing. To grant Porto Ricans citi
zenship without self-government would
be equal to saying to the world that
the terms American citizenship" and
"servitude" are synonymous. This idea
is impossible of acceptance. but should
it become a fact, Senior Cintron says
in conclusion. that would be the hour
to say to the people of Porto Rico;
