GREAtLY OVERDRAWN AND EXAGGERATED What General Davis Says ol William's Statement' SAYS THERE IS SUFFERING Means of the Coffee Planters Reduced by the Storm Crop Damaged to the Amount of $12,000,000 Treaty Forwarded to London. Washington, Dec. 2 1. G meral Da vis, when seen at the war department concerning the report made public to day by Dr. Williams, a contract surgeon in the department of Porto Rico, setting forth an appalling state of affairs among the coffee planters iu the island, said that from his knowledge of affairs iu that section of Porto Rico, he should characterize Dr. Williams' statement ai much overdrawn aud exaggerated. That there was suffering in the coffee plantings of the country, he had nc doubt. Tbei heavy losses incurred bj the big hurricane, he said, could have had no reshlb other than to greatly re duce the means of the planters who had $12,000,000 worth of coffee swept away by the big storm. When GeneralDavis was military governor of the island the war department issued rations to the people of Porto Rico, in order to help weather over the evil effects of the hur ricane. When the government passed uuder civil administration, however, the issuance of the rations was discon tinued, as it was believed the islauderd had sufficiently reco vered. The general sail that Dr. Williams was acting as cikrant surgeon in the department and accompanied a small expedition iiudei commaud of Major Watt, Fifth cavalry, which on a march across the island trav ersed the coffee plantation region. The doctor reported a bad state of affairs in this section in the way of sickness aud want of food and was asked for a fuller report by General Davis. This was turned over to Governor. Allen.
