Havana, April 8. The Cuban mili

prepared to regard bim aa a political
leader, and that a few daya more prob

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.
"One of the objects of my visit was
to make arrangements for the estab

have found a place which I think will
be auitable for the laisiug of winter
vegetables."
WEST INDIAN COAL STATIONS.
Navy Department Will Place Theta at
Btrataglo Point.
New York, April 10. A special to
the Herald from Washington says: At
the suggestion of Rear-Admiral Brad
ford, chief of the bureau of equipment,
a comprehensive scheme haa ueen
adopted by the navy department un
der which coaling atatione will be
placed at atrategio points in the West
Indies, so aa to give the United States
control of the Virgin, Mona and W ind
ward pataagea and the approaches to
tbe Gulf of Mexico.
It is proposed to establish coaling
stations at Culebia island, lying be
tween Porto Rico and the Virgin
islands; at Mayagues, whioh ties on
the western shore of Porto Rico and
oontrola the Mona passage, and at
Quantanarao on the southern side of
Cuba, 01 at Nipe bay on tbe northern
coaat, either of whioh controls the
Windward passage. Coal sheds and
piers are already in tbe course of con
ttruotion at Dry Tortugas, which will
suable a fleet operating from that point
to prevent an enemy from entering
either through the Yucatan or Bahama
ohannel. '

Manila, April 11. At nighfall last

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

again, but on Saturday morning a
ohange for tbe worse took place, and
