Regis H Post, Governor of the island Mr Qui-
nones is in danger of delaying the very end he
seeks TO achieve. The President is not likely to

Rican but there is good reason TO believe that If
the people Of the island refrain from attacks the
Governor his tenure of office will be shortlived.
There is much conflicting testimony regarding the
ability with which Mr. Post has administered his
difficult office, but the impression prevails that
he has in some degree been wanting in that tact
so essential TO the successful administration of
country inhabited by people of Spanish descent,
and an absence Of agitation will doubtless be fol-
lowed by a change OF governors Several names
have already been under consideration Mr..
Posts successor. and If Congress enacts the Iegis

accept in proper spirit the discipline which such
legislation will constitute they Will doubtless find
that the new regime brings with II a Governor
