Gutter GOES TO RESCUE
Twenty-Five Porto Ricans Are Re-
ported to Be Starving in
Santo Domingo.

On q mission Of mercy. to go to the
rescue OF twenty-five or moro starving
Porto Ricans in Santo Domingo. the
revenue cutter Algonquin has been or
dered to proceed to Dominican waters
from her station at San Juan. Porte
Rico.
Requests for tho service Of the revenue
cutter Algonquin came from the insula1
division Of the War Department. which
has direction over affairs in Porto Rico
It is probable that the appeal from Porto
Rico was made to the insular govern
ment. Information available fails to ex-
plain the extremity Of the plight Of the
starving men or their presence in Santc
Domingo.
Unsettled conditions in Santo Domingo
may account for the situation of this
band. It Is possible they are refugees
who took unfortunate side in recent hos
tilities, or they may have been engaged
in enterprises in the neighbortng island
impoverished by war. Whether there are
women and children In the band is not
stated.
