DYING OF STARVATION 'eople of Porto Rico in a De plorable Condition. THE SITUATION 18 DESPERATE tntorreetloB May Kasnlt If Moaanro of , Kollaf Arc Long Delayed Coffee Crop abort. New York, April 10. The Herald says Brigadier-General Stone will 0 to Washington tomorrow, where he will eall tbe attention of the preeident to the atarvation and distress in Porto Rico. He thinks that the desperate state of the people may lead to insur rection If relief is not forthcoming. He has jnst returned from a journey of 10 days through the interior of tbe island. Tbe general was attached to the de partment of. agriculture before the war, and during hostilities be was in Porto Rico as a member of General Miles' staff. ' This last trip was made with a party of capitalists and railroad men. lie was also Invited by Maior General Henry to give advice concern ing tbe construction ot roads through the islands. ' "People are dying of starvation all through the interior," said General Stone. "In the district of Agoaa Banas there were many death. The udge in the distiiotof Comerio showed me a book in wbich he bad recorded the Dames of many who died for lack of food. General Grant reported 89 deaths from starvation in one diatrict I saw hundreds of nstives emaciated and weak. When I left Porto Rico there were 100.000 persons there who had had neither bread nor meat for two weeks. "This state of affairs is largely due to tbe short coffee crop and the ruinous competition of Braxil. Porto Riotn coffee ia selling at from 7 to 8 cents at seaports, and tbe transportation takes nearly all of this sum. Major -General Henry is issuing rations and ia doing everything in his power to alleviaU the distress. 'It is difficult, however, to reach the interior. The supplies are sent to military posts and distributed aa well aa possible. Still Major-General Henry cannot go on in tbia way. His money, derived from oustoms, will give out soon. He cannot make this people an objeot of charity. He baa found work for at leaat 5.000 men on tbe road building. With good roads and a meant of getting out of the interior with fruits and vegetables, something can be done to develop-the island. "Another element contributing to the distress of the Porto Ricana ia the fact that tbe United States continues to levy duty upon them. They hsd free trade with Spain, which i now cut off. Yet with all their suffering. the Porto Rioana speak with piide aa belonging to the United States. They do not expect Porto Rico to become a state. "Porto Rico ia the borne ot the or ange, yet orange are rotting on th trees. They are sold at 50 cent a bar rel. I bought them five for cent They are as good aa the Indian liver oranges.

Generals Law ton and King launched an expedition of three gun boats, with 1,600 picked men in canoes in tow of tbe gunboats. The object of the expedition is to cross the lake, cap ture Santa Ciua and sweep the country to the south. The expedition, which embarked at San Pedro Macati, consists of eight companies of tbe Fourteenth infantry, three companies of the Fourth cavalry, four companies of tbe North Dakota volunteers, four companies of the Idaho volunteers, two mountain guns and 200 sbsrpsbnotere of the Fourteenth in fantry. At the mouth of tbe Pasig river tbe men will be transferred from the canoes to the three gunboats, Lagnna de Bay, Cesto and Napinda. Santa Cms, tbe objective point of the expe dition, ia at the extreme end of the lake. The withdrawal of the 18 companies constituting tbe expeditionary force made a gap in the line from the beach to Cnliculi, just southwest of San Pedro Macati, wbich waa subsequently filled by the Fourth regular infantry. The rebels on the extreme right had evidently been informed of the with drawal of the troops, and they attempt ed to sneak through after nightfall, but were met with a warm reception, and fell back in disorder on discovering that the line waa alill intact. LOST IN THE UMPQUA. Hollltter D. MeGalro and Senator Head Drowaed. Rosebnrg, Or., April 11. Hollister D. McGuire, fish commissioner of Ore gon, and A. W. Reed, . state senator from Douglas ooonty, were drowned in the.. North Umpqua river, opposite River dale farm, six miles below Rose burg, this morning. Messrs. Reed and McGuire, accompanied by W. F. Hubbard, wbo baa charge of the Clack amas hatchery, went down the North Umpaua to locate a site for a hatchery, intending to return this evening. McGuire, Reed and Hubbard went by freight tiain to Winchester, where they boarded a amali boat for the junc tion of tbe rivers, six miles below Roseburg. They were warned by people living in the vicinity, wbo were acquainted with the river, that it was very dan gerous, especially to those not ac quainted with ita rapids and whirl pools, but they were old boatmen, and expressed no doubt of their ability to take care of themselves. Tbe liver for three or four miles above its junction with the South Umpqua ia a succession of rapids and whirlpools, and at places, especially at thia time of year, ia both Jeep and dangerous. After th party bsd gone a considerable distance down the river, having safely psased through two or three of tbe rapids, a rowlock waa broken, thna rendering the boat practically unmanageable. They at tempted to work their way to shore with one oar, and approached so near that Senator Reed grasped the branch of an overhanging tree, but the current waa so swift that the boat waa being drawn nnder water.and be released bis hold. The current then shot the boat rapidly out into the stream, where it was swamped and upset McGuire and Hubbard struck out for shore. Hubbard reports that McGuire waa wimming ahead of him and appeared to be swimming easily. When Hub bard reaohed the shore, and tnrned to look for his companions, McGuire had disappeared, and Reed had climbed onto tbe boat, which was rapidly drift ing down stream, and be saw him no more. As Senstor Reed could not swim, be waa probably washed from his insecure position and sank to rise no more. v JUDGE FIELD DEAD. Great American Jurl.t Patted Away al Washington. Washington, April 11.
