PORTO RICO
MUCH AROUSED
ISLANDERS DISAPPOINTED AT
PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE.
POLITICIANS ARE TO BLAME
Adverse Criticism Of the Presidents
Recent Special Message Regarding
Porto Rico Affairs Is Expressed by
All Parties There.

San Juan, May 13.-Only excerpts
from President Taft's message on
Porto Rico have been received here.
These have caused excited comment
mostly of an unfavorable nature.
President Taft's attitude has caused
general disappointment among poll
ticians of all parties. Governor Regis
H. Post, speaking today with refer
ence to the message, said that it
would undoubtedly be disappointing to
political circles. but he anticipated no
trouble in the island. There is no
unrest here and business interests are
not affected.
DIT. j. G. Barbosa, leader of the re-
publican party who is serving his third
term in the executive council said:
rhe presidents message has not sur
prised me; l expected it, 1t is unjust
in treating all Porto Ricans alike.
Necessarily we shall all have to suf-
fer the consequences for the errors
committed by half dozen politicians
who obtained their influence and pres
tige through open support of the
Americans controlling the government.
Republicans, labor party, independents
and business men, who have not di-
rect representation in the house of
delegates and who constitute the ma
jority in the island have been repre-
sented by handful of men who are
anti-American and who do not think or
act as we do"
Louis Munos Rivera, leader of the
unionist party and a member of the
delegation which went to Washington
to discuss with the state department
Porto Rico legislation, was bitter of
mis- denunciation of President Tafts
message.
"CaIl II an Insult.
"The message" he said, (which
President Taft has sent to congress
has caused feeling of the most pro-
found discomfort. The speaker of lie
nouse of delegates has sent cable
gram direct to congress in behalf of
the house and the unionist party re-
serves to itself the adoption of reso-
buttons depending upon developments.
We will remain still and await the
legislation congress chooses to pass.
The message of the president is an
insult heaped upon weak people that
cannot reply"
Santiago Iglesias, organizer of the
American federation of labor at Porto
Rico, said: 1.-THE message is a strong
reproof generally, but it does not dis
criminate between the various classes,
while ne unionists are solely respon-
sible for the present condition OIL af-
lairs, President Taft accuses the re-
publicans, federationists, socialists
and neutrals, composing the large ma
jority who have not the slightest re-
sponsibility for the quarrel between
the unionists and the executive coun-
ell. The organized laborers are dis.
satisfied with the message because
they see retrogression. They believe
that the United States congress should
not punish those who have had no
hand in the crisis"
