D AC DUO IN, P Gov- Hunt's Tlessage to the Legislature Shows Improvement Along All Lines San Juan, I. E., Jan. 2. The legis lature m'et in joint session at 11 o'clock stliis morning1 and listened to the read ing of Gov. Hunt's message, which com prised 0,000 words. It is said that tran quility and contentment prevailed throughout the islanof; that the schools had multiplied, plantations started, rail roads Wore about to be built- and com merce developed, exports had increased, agriculture had become more profitable, roads were being- constructed and debts were being paid. The governor added that. tolerance of opinion was becoming more common, old antagonisms were be 4ng forgotten and the people felt their responsibility for die success or failure of the government. Referring to edu cation, he said that there are now, 375 schools open with 931 teachers and 40, 000 pupils. Thirry-two new school houses had been constructed. One hun dred and twenty-nine students were be ing instructed in die. United States. The message then treated of the finances of the island', showing that the revenues had increased, the available balance being $127,000 greater than on leporTs . the Jealousy Between the Mili tary and Civil Authorities a Handicap on Both Branches Washington, Jan. 2. Notwithstanding the recent dispatch received from Gen. Chaffee denying that any serious fric tion exists in 'the Philippines between the civil and military authorities, it is more than tacitly admitted at the War Department by officers in a position to know the fact 'that such disagreement fioea exist. - More than this, f.v-verul of the gen eral officers of the staff of 'the army who have recently returned from the Philippines assert that the strong feel ing of jealousy between the civil and military authorities seriously interferes with the pacification of the archipelago. For the most part these, officers took means while in the islands to ascertain the real cause of the trouble, and in their opinion it is due entirely to 'the feeling on the part of the military officials that too much haste was made in turning over authority to the cjvil authorities.

Both Herr Yon, Holleben, the German Ambassador, and" Authorities at the state department de clare that there is no truth in the state ment alleging that he was affronted by the order of diplomatic precedence at the White House yesterday. The truth is that Lady Pauncefote arly in the day sent word to the Ger man Embassy of the illness of her hus-fcan- and inferentially resigned to the representative of the Kaiser the posi tion in the line accorded to the dean of 'he diplomatic corps. , -With great delicacy, the Gorman Am Of T bt-v a en ITV JL 11 June SO. The total increased balance, including- trust funds, amounted to $2,000,000. The governor recommended an increase in municipal, but suggested that no increase be "made in the insu lar taxation. He asked the legislature to consider 'the new code presented by the commission appointed by Gov. Al len. , The message spoke of the ambigui ties of the law and evidence in the case of Santiago Iglesias, the .labor leader, who was recently sentenced to three years and four months imprisonment for conspiring to secure higher wages for working men. Gov. Hunt declared the remedy for these ambiguities lies with the law-make". He said: . "There is no room in Porto Rico for lawlessness, but the right to organize to secure better wages by peaceable measures is perfectly lawful and con sistent with good government. The am bition 'to better oneself is intensely American. Oftentimes this is only grat ified by organized effort. Where the purpose of organization is merely to increase the profits of labor and to dig nify its worth in peaceful ways a law which is susceptible of construction for bidding ithe execution Of such purposes is unworthy of the American govern ment and should ba abrogated." - The governor recommends the legisla ture to make appropriation for the rep resentation of Puerto Rico at the Charleston and St. Louis expositions. ORTO RICO fiction m psnes revive of 'the army who has only recently re turned from the Philippines, in speak ing of this cQnfl'ct of authority, said today: "As an example or the official fric tion which, by the way, often becomes so strong as to be personal, it is only necessary to point to a recent occur rence in one of the small villages of Luzon, which Js supposedly under civil authority, with two companies of in fantry as a protection against attack. "It was learned by the civil officer of this village that -a large body of insurgents was in ..the vicinity and he, very, naturally, called... upon the senior captain in charge or' the military to drive the Filipinos back .from their prox imity to the town. . "With a, bland smile, the miliitary officer refused to tak any such action; stating that his orders were to engage the enemy only in case of actual at tack upon the village. He called the civil officers attention to the civilian police and asked why they were not used for the proposed duty of hunting on c the insurgents. "In such cases," the officer said, "the Civil authority is powerless. In conse quence the insurgents are gathering in numbers without molestation." bassador 1 not only insisted upon the at tendance at the function of Lady Pauncefote at tne head of the line, but onered to act as her personal escort. It was, therefore, at his" instance that sue took the heau of the line. jjipiomans generally deplore tne cir culation of this morning's stories, which, they assert, are not only untrue, but place other diplomats in an attitude of criticism, when as a matter of fact they applaud Herr , Von Holleben's consider ation and tact. . MILITARY LEGISLATION Chairman Hull Does Not-Ex-pect Much This Session Washington, Jan. 2. Representative Hull of Iowa, chairman of the Commit tee on Military Affairs, was among the callers on the President today. The Committee on Military Affairs will meet Tuesday for the purpose of looking over the field of prospective legislation," said Representative Hull. "I don't anticipate much legislation on mnitary matters The Committee on Military Affairs has an elaborate bill providing for the re-organization of the existing laws governing national guard organizations. The proposed plan to es tablish concentration camps where the militia couid be instructed in active sol diering id hardly advisable, because, to make the plan efficient the annual en campments would be six weeks or more in length, too long for the average cit izen whd is a member of the militia to be absent from his work." Representative Hull will have a gen eral talk about military matters with' the President in the near future. At their conference today the applications for army appointments of several form er Rough Riders were considered. . s , . - Smallpox in Forsyth Winston-Salem, X. C, Jan. 1. Special.

Kaiser Wilhelm's graceful compliment to America in ask- ins: Miss Alice Roosevelt to act as spon- the United States, is looked upon . here as another evidence of the cordial feel ing that exists be ween the two countries.

Mr. Bryan declares his belief that President Roosevelt is playing for re-nomination at the hands of the corporations in appointing Payne ana fen aw. lie says Faynes selection is not only surpi'ising when we remember the President s reiteration about "civic virtue," but it is proof positive that the President is shaping his administration to secure a nomination at the hands of the next republican convention. "The appointment of ex-Gov. Shaw to the place made vacant by the resignation of Secretary Gage," says Mr. Bryan, "is -evidence of Mr. Roosevelt's purpose to let the financiers have their way in conducting the Treasury Department. "If there is anything bad in finances that Mr. Shaw has not endorsed , it is. because the matter has nor reen brought to his attention. Ho has been an ultra gold man and an ultra advocate of the General PaEma Makes a Statement of His Policy Central VaJey, N. I, Jan. 2. General Estrada Palma, the Cuban President elect, is somewhat undecided on his plans of departure to Cuba. He dis- kes leaving his family, arid at the same time is disinclined to take all his chil dren with him because it would inter fere with their studies. He will proba bly take his wife and tbree younger children to Havana when he sails for nauguration, and will be joined by the other three an the summer during their vacations. Gen. Palma will hare hundreds of public offices to fill, and the office-seek ers will doubtless be greatly disappoint ed to. learn of his determination ;to re main . at Central Valley until close to the day on which he will assume office. He told a correspondent today that he will not go to Cuba before April. His inauguration is to take place May 1. Gen. Palma said today: "I wish -to correct the statements that have been made that my candidacy was advised b y the United States govern ment and that if elected I would be under its control. Of course lean nev er forget the debt we owe this country for helping us gain our independence, but notwithstanding that I am first of all a Cuban. No one will control me. I will be free to act without fear or favor. I have made no pledges for the purpose of, gaining office., . "The reconstruqtion of Cuba will de volve on all of us. We must gather about us the best eiemtns in the island, TILLMAN'S OPINION OF THE PRESIDENT V Memphis, Jan, 2 Senator Tillman of South Carolina, who lectures here to night, thus sized up President Roose velt in an interview today: "Personally I Hike Mr. Roosevelt. I think he is an honest man, striving to do Tight. But I must admit the con viction that he Is utterly incapable of performing the duties of the President of the United States as tney snouia oe performed. He is too mucn or a stormy petrel. He cannot fly when the wind is pot high. Many of his acts are not only radical, they, are cash, v at Boling Brook, ten miles from Ma con. Eevery pane of glass in buildings six block away was shattered. 'A negro who was painting the top ot the round house when the explosion oc curred was blown to bits, his head being found several hundred feet away from the round house later. P. H. Kelly, one of the fatally in jured, was blown through, the glass win dow of a cab and severely cut. Many; of his bones were broken. Henry Fox had every bone in bctli legs broken and cannot live. The round house where the engine stood was comlpetely wrecked, as wero two engines, standing aiear by and fif teen bo.-f ears. The officials of the railroad say the explosion was caused by a, defective steam valve which refused to allow steam to escape. - It is feared that other bodies will be found when the debris Is cleared away. at the be present at tbfs later day blossoming of a social bud, as invitations have beea: sent to the surviving members of the Grant family. It is hoped that Mrs. , Nellie Grant Sartoris, the heroine of the ; other ball, will be able to wish her fair successor happy fortune. About 1,000 invitatkms have been sent out for the function, 400 of which are addressed 'to distlnguisned society folk, and relatives of the family out of town. Practically all of the hisrh officials sta tioned here Will attend, as well as the' members of the diplomatic corps. doctrine that the Treasury Department should be run according .to the wishe of Wall street. On the I trust question he is entirely in- sympathy with th corporations. At the conference of West ern and Southern! Governors icalled tt consider the trust question, he was thd only one who spoke of ' the subject iif a flippant vein, "the" only cue who daiei to assume the right to; espouse the cause o$ the trusts; As Governor of Iowa, lie has been the friend of the corporations. With him at the head of 'the nation's finances the ordinary, every-day people who make their Jiving by laboa will receive, little consideration. With the Treasury Department and the Postofflce Department in the. bands of Shaw and Payne the President makes a good start toward controlling the Republican con vention, if, of course, the office holders and corporations can control it." V r Cubans and. Spaniards." Cubans must forget all differences and bear in mind that we are members of the same fam ily, all with the same interests at stake. We will safeguard and respect all for eign interests." Gen. Palma approves of the Piatt amendment and believes it to be in the interest of Cuban independence, Regarding the Isle of Pines, he 6aid : "The shallow waters make it danger ous and difficult for vessels of large to n Jiage to touch there. It might be 'an important addition to the territory of the Cuban Republic and the United States might be induced to give up the island." He favored a most economical govern ment. There will be no useless officials and the diplomatic corps might at first be limited to a minister at Washington. Therewii 11 be a consul general In New York, and at other ports only consular agents, who will receive only little sal ary and, perhaps, only fees fothei services. The question of paying the soldiers and officers who fought for Ouhan inde' pendence will probably be one of tin most important for the ;new government to deal with. "While I consider thif a sacred debt," said General Palmx "yet I will recommend that these pa' triots wait fo- their pay until we hav first put our industries on a solid foot ing. I am sure that with plenty oi employment for the people these men will be satisfied to wait until their coum try Is sufficiently strong financially ta spare this money." jSpeaking of the Republican party hi ith Roosevelt at its &ead it is play ing right into the hands of the Demo crats.
