DESTITUTE IN PUERTO RICO.
The Distribution of Toocl Must Be
Continued.
Washington, March 7. Tho acting
secretary of war has received a com
munication from General Davis on tho
subject of food distribution nnd tho re
lief ot the destitute in Puerto Rico. It
was thp Intention of General Davis, as
lecently stated to tho department, to
discontinue 'the free distribution ot
food about the first of this month, but
tho industilal condition existing In cer
tain portions or the Islands rendered It
absolutely necessary to feed the starv
ing Inhabitants for some time longer.
It is stated that in some sections the
Inhabitants uro beginning to ral-e
sweet potatoes, but In thp centre of the
island, or the coffee growing district
theto Is nothing for tho poor to eat
Any discontinuance of the food dlstii
butlon, therefore, under these condi
tions would result In n largo inerense
of sickness nnd of the death rate. Tin.
coffee planters nro making strenuoui
efforts to clear up their fields, but hav
ing no money for tho payment ot tholi
hands, the laboreis have necessarily
been laid 'off nnd are drlffing Into the
towns, thereby becoming public charges.
Unless fed at public expense, statva
tlon will result, and the military govei
nor has therefore required a shipment
of H0O tons of rice, codfish and bacon,
In addition to the COO tons asked fot
about three weeks ago.
In connection with the existing in
dustrial conditions, General Davis is of
tne opinion thit tho quickest and most
effectivo way of securing relief would
be through largo expenditures upon
public works.
General Davis states that If he could
put about 23,000 men nt work for a
period of three months on tho roads, in
volving expenditures for labor, tools
and supervision of some $221,000 a
month, tho period of acute distiess
could be tided over. The acting com
mlssiiy general of subsistence was
today dliected to secure tlio food asked
jor lor unmeuiaio Miipment.
