Porto Ricons at Ceuta for Many
Years Beg Release.

San Juan, P. R., July 13.-Governor Regis H.
Post has received a petition from twenty Porto
Ricans who are confined in the penitentiary at
Ceuta a seaport town of Africa. belonging TO
Spain not far from Gibraltar, asking that the
government take steps TO have them liberated
These men we're imprisoned in the time of Span
ish rule in Porto Rico for political reasons, and
the matter already has come before the Porto
Rican Legislature.
The House of Delegates at San Juan asked in
1902 for information regarding Porto Rlcan
prisoners in the Spanish penitentiary at Ceuta
The records showed that forty prisoners were
sent from Porto Rico TO Ceuta between 1882 and
1898 Against seventeen of these specific
charges were brought they being, it was said
political prisoners Although it was said at the
time that an effort probably would be made TO
secure their release through Secretary Hay, the
matter apparently was allowed to lapse.

BELLEVUE IN DANGER
WALL FALLS NEAR WARD.
Another Section of 1t Threatens
Hospital Patients Frightened.

A section of brick wall. 14O feet high and ex-
tending 70 feet back from 2Sth street, toward
18th street, part of a structure under oenontlon
for the Bellevue, collapsed early last evening
A score of workmen narrowly escaped with their
lives and half hundred patients in three wards
in Bellevue Hospital were thrown into conster-
nation Another section of wall, equally tall
and 100 feet long. facing Immediately upon
Bellevue, is almost tottering.
Workmen for several days have been engaged
in the work of wrecking the former building of
the United Electric Light Company, east of First
avenue in 18th street down toward the East
River. The time for the completion OF the work
the new structure Of the hospital has been
limited and In order not to lose the contract
the house wrecking concern has put pressure on
its men to the utmost. From earliest day until
dark the men have been at work, and were still
at the task at o'clock last night.
The better to hasten their efforts big derrick
was erected on a Part of the wall, and big
chunks were bitten out of the standing walls
which remained, forming an L on 18th street
and back toward Doth street Shaking and rack
ing, the derrick finally weakened the west end
of the wall so that it fell.
Back on the 29th street side is row of six
tenement houses, filed with Poles and Italians,
and when the crash they poured forth like
bees from hive scared by the noise anu tIie DiS
cloud of dust 1t so happened that none of the
workmen was injured though none could ex-
plain afterward how he had escaped.
Right opposite the standing portion of the
wall which now has support of any sort, are
Ward A of Bellevue the male prison; Ward 81
the female alcoholic, prison and hysterla ward
and Ward 36, for male alcoholic patients.
When the wall fell. in the two wards last
named some of the patients were almost over
come with fright, and -the mental state of some
of the patients such that their condition was
pitifuI Doctors and nurses hurried about the
three wards quieting the patients, assuring them
that they were in danger
The crash sent several doctors and ambulance
drivers down 2Sth street the run to offer aid
None was needed, were the police of the 3oth
street station, for whom call went in If the
wind should rise the wall standing might very
readily be blown down. Should the wind happen
to blow from the northeast the three wards OF
Bellevue named, together with the ambulance
stable of the institution, could hardly escape
without some damage. and serious danger, 1t is
said might result.
