Parece que una ola de crimen Sc ha
desencadenado en- esta ciudad, desde
hace POGO tempo esta parte
Las personas sensatas atribuyen es-
tos frecuentes crimenes q la falta de po-
licia que hay en- esta ciudad, pues no
es possible que escasamente veinte poll
cias puedan atender al orden p1blico
de una cludad como Ponce de cerca de
sesenta cinco mil habitantes con su
jurisdiction.
Cuando todavia nos encontrabamos
lamentando ell jlltimo crimen ocurrido
hace pocos dias en- una calle centrica
de esta ciudad, y cuyo autor ha burlado
la acci6n de la justicia, pues aun no ha
podido ser capturado el criminal tene-
mos que lamentar otro hecho sangrien-
to.
Aver sabado q las doce y treinta del
dia Sc encontraban diez 8 doce llmpla-
botas banandose en- ell sitio conocido
por el "Zanjon'', muy pr6ximo al
puente por donde pasa el ferrocarrll,
parece q. tuvieron un disgusto los mu-
chachos de ounce diez y seis amos de
edad, Ramon Rivera, (a) Tumba Co
cos, y Carlos Beltran, ambos impiabo
tas. infiriendole tres heridas graves Ra-
mon Beltran, una en- un brazo, y la
otra en- la espalda, interesandole la I'll
TINA un pulm0n: estas heridas sc las
produio con un cuchillo de mesa de po-
cas- dimensiones.
Ell herido fue conducido EN- la Am
bulancia Municipal al Hospital Trico
che donde los medicos de dicho benefi
co Establecimiento le hicieron las pri
meras curas, quedandose ell herido en-
dicho Hospital donde Sc encuentra en-
estado grave
La polic1a tuvo conocimiento del SUI
ceso al yer la gente correr llegando por
los alrededores del sitio ell Sargento
Quevedo, Y tres poiclfas.
Ell agresor Sc dio a la fuga cogiendo
la carretera de Yauco, y salio en- su
persecution el aCabo Castillo, quien
pudo alcanzarlo al llegar al Pc
.noncillo' donde 10 capture.
Por dicho funcionario de la policia
fue traido ell agresor presencia del
Fiscal del Distrito, Lcdo Torres Grau,
y del Juez Municipal, quienes estan ha-
ciendo la investigation del case, Y
mientras tanto Sc encuentra detenldo
ell agresor en- ell Deposito Municipal
hasta que las autoridades judiciales ca
liiquen ell delito.
Milagrosamente no Sc fugo este agre-
sor tambien q no ser por la hgereza del
Cabo Castillo.
Ell origen del suceso aunque no Sc ha
puesto Ell claro todav1a Sc presume que
estos limpiabotas estaban Ell ell expire
sado sitio maniguando por 10 cual ten
drfan ell disgusto resulto este suceso
sangriento.
En- case de ampliar estos detalles 81

credencc was given to this rumor be-
cause few thought that the British war
vessels were off the west coast IF Ire

IA submarine Of modern type could make
a voyage OF $50 miles from its own
base. other rumors followed, but II
was not until November II that meagre
details Of the disaster were received,
and those came by mail. These reports
came from those who were on board the
White Star Line steamship olympic and
told that early in the morning of OCto-

telling him 10 go to Tough swiftly and
that there were mines off the Irish
coast. That message was received from

These engines are to be replaced in the
newer submarines with Diesel oil engines
which use heavy crude oil and possess q
greater efficiency and are also more eco

Their submerged runs are made by
means OF electric engines operated from
