HELP Is NEEDED

For the past few weeks, the citi-

thoroughly informed as to the fin
ancial condition in the city, in so
far as the city government is con-
cerned It has been learned that
economy must be practiced in all
departments OF the citys govern
ment. Shortage of funds makes
such a procedure imperative. The
city police force may have to be
reduced, the park improvement
force must be cut down as much
as possible and street cleaning
must be lessened to the point which
is demanded only for sanitary
condition. In this later item the
citizensh can aid very materially

should take enough pride i'm the ap-
pearance which the city presents
to do all he can to keep the streets
in as nearly a sanitary condition
as is possible.
In some sections OF the city It
has been the custom to throw re-
fuse into the streets to be scraped
up and hauled away by the street
cleaning department. From now on
this practice should be abandoned

Commissioner Larringa's one great
speech, delivered with a strong Span
ish accent, was a defense OF his peo-
pie in their hostility to the kind OF
gbvernmen the United States has
given them. The House extended him
the privilege of continuing his adj
dress long after his allotted time had
expired, and the swarthy little ISL
ander impressed the membership
with the needs OF Porto Rico as they
had never been before. If, in the

ing to report just received at the
the War Department from Gen. II. II.
Bliss, governor OF the province, he Is
a poor subject for western civiliza-
|tion. Gen. Bliss says that the case OF

He has certain persistent ideas con
Icerning the practices of his religion
he has notions of marriage that don't
coincide with the Western statutes
and while he accepts the blandish-
ments of civilization ne does pretty
much as he pleases. Gen. Bliss recon-
mends that the natives ''headsmen"
be vested with the power TO try GER
tain cases, that the native courts and
boards OF arbitration be established
and that Mohammedan marriages be
Ilegalized. In other words, the stub
born Moro must be given his way as
far as 1t Is consistent with American
ideas, or the attempt to establish an
American judicial system In the pro-

suggestion of Major General Weston.

only those applicants best fitted for
the service. More than a thousand
applications have been received. ac-
cording TO Gen. Weston. In his let
ter, published by the War Depart

educctlon, sober habits. capacity,
patience and tact In military instruc-
,tion, ability to acquire native dia-
lect, exemplary habits and great
physical endurance.
1t Is believed that the best possible
material for such appointments will
continue to be found in the nom
