DISCONTENT
IN PORTO RICO
Does Not Find Plain Sailing in foy
ernics ub Island.
RESIGNING
AND SQUABBLING
Refusal to Grant the Council of Peace
Constitutional Privileges Rankles
With the Autonomists Best Ele
ment, However, Sustains General
Brooke in His Course.
San Juan, Porto Rico. Dec. 5. The
past week fn San Juan ha9 shown cer
tain developments in the general situa
tion of the island, and drifting straws
have been seen which indicate the cur
rent of growing discontent. There has
been much trouble all over the island
since the American Kovernroent as
sumed a military protectorate, concern
ing the appointment of mayors and
council men of the different muni
cipalities, of. which they are in all 72.
Men so appointed nd those already in
office have been resigning and squab
bling among themselves, and expressing
their displeasure at the appointment of
some colleague. The fact that General
Brooke declined to grant to the council
c.t Ponce the privileges of the autono
mist constitution, which" they were ar
rogating to themselves, is what rankles
ever i resent in the minds of the de
feated autonomists. The accordance of
this privilege would have been for them
a great victory. The best judgement
here sustains General Brooke in this
action. If the privilege was granted to
cue council it. would have to be granted
to all, and -acli of Porto Rico's 72 muni
cipalties, acting with the power and
latitude c ntera plated by the autonomist
platform, would have brought much con
tusion to the island.
The autonomist prty sets np a pro
longed howl of discontent in which,
among other t'.ings, they declared that
Munoz Rivera, leader of General
liroukf'a cabinet, had betrayed them,
inasmuch as he had used his influence to
hrin;i about the iKcision against their
demands. Rivera is an element of po
liticil discord. Six months ago he
theatrically declared he would die
wrapped in tii- flats of Spain, and he
was the firt Porto Rican to swear al
legiance to the United States. He is
tlie present fecreiary of state, and since
October 17 t he head of General Brooke's
advisory- board in the insular affairs.
He is a capable man and a sihemer.
He probably long ago determined to be
come the political ruler ef Porto Rico.

BOrAL BAKIMO PQWPER CO., NEW YORK.
Washington, Dec. 11. General Calix
to Garcia, the distinguished Cuban war
rior and leader, and the head of the com
mission elected by the Cuban assembly
to visit this country, died ' here this
morning shortly after 10 o'clock, at the
Hotel Rileigh, where the commission
has its headquarters.
The sudden change from the warm
climate of Cuba, with the hardships
he had there endured, to the wintry
weather of New York and Washington,
is responsible for the pneumonia which
resulted in his death. He contracted a
slight cold in New York,' which did not
assume an alarming Btage until the early
part of last week. Tuesday night, Gen.
Garcia, in corapaay with the other
members of the commission, attended a
dinner given in his honor by Gen. Miles
and it was a result of his exposure that
culminated in bis death.
During the twelve hours or more pre
eeeding dissolution, Gen. Garcia was
conscious most of the time. At inter
vals he would recognize one or more of
those about him. In his dying moments
as all through his busy and active life,
his thoughts were for his beloved coun
try and its people, and, among bis last
words, were irrational mutterings, in
which he gave orders to his son, who is
on his staff, for the battle which he sup
posed was to occur tomorrow, and in
which be understood there were only
400 Spaniards to combat. Juet before
bis death he embraced bis son.
A PERSISTENT
SUITOR SHOT
Old Miner at Susanville Objected to
- Attention Paid to His Daughter. .
Long Cheek, Or., Dec. 9. A messen
ger who arrived in the city late last
evening from Susanville, in quest of a
anrgeon, reports the shooting and prob
ably fatal wounding of Joseph Frazier
by an aged miner named Snodderly.
Persistent attention on the part of Fra
zier toward Snodderly's 17-year-old
daughter is eaid to have been the cause
of the shooting. It is said that on the
morning previous to the shooting the
old gentleman made arrangements pre
paratory to bringing bis daughter to
Long Creek. Frazier objected in a dem
onstrative way, and hot words were ex
changed. Later, while Snodderly was in the
Keeney store, Frazier came in, and
Snodderly picked np a rifle and fired,
the ball entering the lower portion of
the right lunfc and passing through the
liver.
According to statements of persons
down from Susanville, the sentiment of
the community is with Snodderly, as it
appears that Fraaier's attention toward
the daughter had been prohibited by the
father, and when he attempted to inter
fere with the old gentleman's plan to re
move her to this place be knew that
seriou9 trouble would follow.
All Go Home Together.
San Fbancisco, Dec. 12 Colonel
Barber is disappointed by a change of
orders which postponed the departure
of the five New York companies now at
the Presidio until the arrival of the rest
of the regiment from Honolulu.
"I was unprepared to start for New
York on Tuesday," said the colonel,
"when the order came to make camp
ing grounds for 700 more men. That
will make it Wednesday, possibly
Thursday, before the command may
leaye". It was the intention to place
the portion of my regiment expected n
the Scandia and Alameda in the camp
abandoned by this detachment now
here. The first step on reaching New
York will be to 8nd all the boys Inane
on furloughs. I believe the war de
partment has made no arrangements
for the mustering out yet."
Ashes of Columbus.
Havana, Dec. 11. The ashes of Co
lumbus will be transferred tomorrow
from ' the cathedral to the Conde De
Venado, and the cruiser will sail for
Cadiz, convoyed by two gunboats.
Great destitution prevails among the
laboring classes in Havana. There has
been no steady employment since the
blockade began'Iast April, the only food
available being corn mewl. The local au
thorities can do nothipg m are, as their
funds are exhausted. Doctors, nurses,
medical supplies, rice, condensed milk,
crackers, bacon and canned beef are
needed at once and in sufficient
quantities for 30,000 people.
Murder in the First Degree.
Dallas, Or., Dec. 11. Today at 10
o'clock the jnry in the Magers case
brought in a verdict of murder in the
first degree. This was a surprise to
evervbodv, even to the prosecntion.
A motion for a new trial will he made,
and, if refused, a bill of exceptance will
be filed, and the case taken to the su
preme court, in the hope of reversing
some of Judge Burnett's decisions on
vital points in the evidence.
