PORTO RICO'S f
Senior Diego Comes to Protest Against
French Tariff and Ask for Citizenship.

WASHINGTON. July 2i.-Senor jose de
Diego, Speaker OF the House Of Delegates
Of Porto Rico. arrived in Washington to-
day to present to the State Department a
statement of some crying needs of the
Porto Ricans and to protest against the
proposed French tariff. which he says will
kill the increasing prosperity Of the island.
When asked what his mission to this
country was Senior Diego said:
Il have come 20 tell the heads of your
nation. rather our nation, that IL the pro-
posed French tariff IL allowed to become a
law the prosperity OF Porto Rico will suffer
a devastating blow and one from which it
can never recover. The tariff law is aimed
directly at our coffee. on which crop the
entire future of the island depends. !. have
come also to ask that n school OF agriculture
be established to supplement the expert
ment station which we already have, ~
order that my people may learn the most
approved modern methods of farming.
These things ! will urge on the Secre-
tariee. hut to the President ! will make a
plea for citizenship TO the United States,
which every Porto Rican desires. Or II
citizenship is out of the question ] will
ask him to give us self-government and
liberty"
Asked as 10 the Objectionable features
Of the French tariff, Senior de Diego said:
France is the country on which we de-
pend mainly for the sale of our coffee,
which. although IL IL by no means the best on
the market. ia the equal of any that is grown
in the Central American countries. II the
French raise their tariff We will be deprived
Of the market for our goods, which will
leave US practically dependent on the United
States for all our sales.
Before the war with Spain we had a large
market for our coffee in that country with
out tariff. but since the war thai market
has also been closed 10 us. Brazil and the
South American countries are better able
to meet high tariff than we are because of
the superior grade of their coffee, and with
all Europe closed to us the coffee industry
in Porto Rico will die. II we are to be
assisted by the United States why do they
not protect US as they do themselves?
Why do they not allow us the same pro-
tective tariff which made them great?
W ask only that they put a tariff on the
coffee OF other countries and allow lis. who
belong to them. the free trade which is our
right. The sugar industry in our island il
controlled by corporations; so is the tobacco.
But coffee grows wild and is the property OF
the people. On il depends the future OF
the island. A protective tariff or coffee
would increase the revenues Of the United
States by more than $40 0 1000 a year and
would save u.s."
In reply &c the question as to the nature
of his mission 10 the President Senior Diego
said:
"Ihave come to tell the President the truth
about the feelings Of the people Of Porto
Rico In regard TO the United States and the
laws OF the island"
