London, Sept. 23. Lord Salisbury's
manifesto to the electors of lite tTnlteil
Kingdom In anticipation of the parlia
mentary elections, emphasizes the nee
i ssltles that the (liiccn's government
i-hould lie supported by a strong par
liamentary majority as "the only
means of convincing the Inhabitants
of the conquered South African terri
tories that there Is no hope of diverting
the government from their policy by
persistent resistance or agitation."
After remarking that "al! the recent
troubles In Houth Africa have been due
to a shift oC parliamentary opinion at
n critical moment," the prime minister
goes on to say:
"it will depend upon the disposition
.uid conduct of the liners how long an
interval Is to clupc before their full
position as n Brltisl lony Is attained.
The brilliant success of Lmd Hubert's
.rmv must not blind us to the Imper
fections disclosed in our own defensive
minor. Imperfections, but for the war
might have remained unnoticed. It'
will bo the urgent duty of parliament
.uid tlio government lo remove the do
f cts, ii duly which certainly could not
1"' discharged liy n ministry depending
upon a broken parly."
In conclusion, Lord Salisbury refers
10 china as "a difllculty, among others,
onrronting the government and re
luestlng thai, the government should
he armed xvilh a strong majoilty in
the house of commons."
lie nrgea that in view of all con
siderations, there should be no all
Mentations at lho polls.
Morley'3 Criticism.
Mr. John Morley. lih"ral, member for
Montroseburgiis, in his manlfisto, dt
dares that his opinion lias not chang
ed that everything might have been,
n tallied in South Afilen without xwir.
"In (i single year," lie says, 'tin- work
f ,i general in iciinillng the Hutch and
English iu South A f rlr.i has been un
done and the ililliclllt race pioblein
been most miserably handled."
Mr. Motley adinils, however, that
it. is impossible to rexolu- the pniela
matlQiis of annexation.
The ;.-ul of Host liciy, issuing a
manifesto in the foim of a letter to
liberal candidates, ,sa-s:
"In the -ireseiil situation of tlm'
world, T would vote for almost any
strong administration; hul l he pres
ent, government are Mrong only In
votes. Jli other respects, they aie the
weakest government T can recollect."
After enumerating the government's
'failures at homo and abroad," Lord
Tiosebery criticizes the conduct or the
South African war, declaring Unit It
has "exposed Kuglaud to humiliations
unparalleled iu our history since the
American war."
lie declares thai nothing can lie
hoped from the government either In
the matter of urgent domestic leform.i
or the reform of the war olllce.
The chancellor of I he exchequer. Sir
Michael Hlcks-ltcach, and the presl
dent of the board of trade, Mr. Charles
Thompson, as well as other prominent
men, have issues manifestos, but these
contain no noteworthy features.

Washington. Sept. 23. The United
States navy is preparing to show its
teetli in tile Orient. The present for
midable squadron in Asiatic waters Is
to be largely re-enforced, and In the
final settlement of the Chinese ques
tion the maritime powers will be com
pelled to respect the interests of the
United States.
Hurry ordeis weie Issued yesterday
to die iirst-class battleship Kentucky
to proceed to New York and prepare
at once to leave for the Asiatic sta
tion. Orders were Issued detaching the
composite gunboats Annapolis and
VlcUfrbuitr from the North Atlantic
station and dispatching them to the
Asiatic station. The converted gun
boat Doiothea. which has been at the
League Island navy yard, has nlo
been oidered to the Asiatic station,
where she will probably do duty as a
dlspatt h boat. The Dorothea was n
fast steam yacht which was pmchiised
by tlie government and converted Into
.i gunboat during the Spanish war,
When thi'se vessels arrive the
United States will have on the Asiatic
station u fleet of warships calculated
to command lespeet from any power.
The additional vessels are not being
sent with any Intention of using them
against China because China is not a
maritime power and a small portion of
our tieet already theie would lie able to
cope with her whole navy. Tt Is be
lieved, however, although no proof of
the fact can be obtained from adminis
tration sources, tliut this government
proposes to be well prepared to com
mand consideration for American Inter
ests in the final settlement of affairs In
the Chinese empire. The great mari
time powers of Kurope will not be able
to ignoie the pYesenec of the United
States fleet nor take action in nny way
unfriendly to the interests of the United
States in China.

!-peiial ('uii,Hiiinewe of The Tribune.
San Juan, l 11., Sept. 13. Tlie In
fluence which Is helnt? brought to bear
in political circles upon our new pos
session, Porto Hlco; the Interest that
mey probably be felt as to conditions
and circumstances in the Islnnd Itself,
as also tlie recent events which have
followed In rapid succession, lead me
to write- in the hope that a fair and
impartial account may be of interest
to tlie readers of The Tribune. They
can Judse whether a safe and effect
ive form of Rovernment could really
exist here, If the povernmen: of the
Island was exclusively In the hands of
the Porto Itleans.
Hearinsr upon the election of mem
bers to tho executive council and the
house of delegates. Seetlon 2S of tin
Korakor hill provides for a division of
the island Into seven districts, com
posed ot contlsuons terrltoiy. and .is
nearly cijual as may ho In population.
The division of tlie Island ns neoeploil
by the majority of tlie council, how
ever, gave a majority of Uepublican
districts, notwithstanding the fact that
the p-ederals are In the majority on
the Island. The political division Known
hern as the Kopiibllcnn party Is In no
way similar lo tho Republican party
in the states.
The Federal members of the council
resigned, and Mr. Diego made a pas
sionate speech, in which he stated th it
the JuMice of (Jod would overtulo the
injustice of man. A glance at the dis
tricts shows that Itlo I'iedras, some
seven miles from San .Juan, is placed
in an entirely different district the
District of lluniarao,
Riots and Brawls.
We jiass on next to a succession of
petty riots, brawls, murder and dis
order, In xxhleh It would npperir tint
the Federal party is the object of at
tack. On Wednesday the Diarlo of Porto
lilco, tlie leading Federal organ, wrote
it very strong article, bitterly condemn
ing the nVtltude of tlie mayor of San
.luan for extortionate punishments ln
Itlcted upon Federals, and the next day
the olllce and printing establishment of
the Diarlo wore attacked by the law
less element and almost demolished.
This affair lasted twenty minutes. In
broad daylight, xrt not a single arrest
was made, instead, there was printed
nnd circulated broadcast throughout
the city a most, villainous circular,
gloating over tlie destruction of the
press and informing that it had been
done in revenge for the arliele against,
the mayor. It incited tlie people of the
town to rise up agninsr the Federals,
to prohibit the printing and circulation
of the Diarlo, to destroy all copies
found, and ended xvlth a dire throat
against every Federal, closing witli the
words. "And may Ood have mercy."
This threat caused a meeting of the
Federals to be lipid In ihe house of
their leader, and coincident with their
meeting -was the congregation of a
vast, crowd in tlio vicinity of the house,
which grew larger and larger as the
darkness came on. No attempt;, were
made, however, to disperse thlH crowd.
At ! o'clock the papers were sent to
tlio postoillco for transmission to the
Interior points of the Island. Thee
papers, however, as directed In the
vlln circular, were seized by the mob
and torn to shreds. This was tho sig
nal for u general attack, and Instantly
there commenced a fusllade of shotn,
all aimed Iu the direction of the hotisn
Iu which tho Federal meeting was be
ing held.
They Did not Reply.
Fatal, Indeed, would It have been
had the Federals In this meeting re
taliated; fatal, indeed, would It have
been had they fired Into the dense,
howling, cursing, frenzied mob below!
There would have been many a death
to mourn over.
The police retreated, though a num
ber of them stood behind the street
corner, and fired wildly at the crowd.
In this manner, a woman received n
bullet in the leg. Tills was tlio only
casualty arising from the discharge of
BOO shots.
During all tills lawlessness but llttlo
energy was displayed by tho mayor to
disperse tlio mob, but Instead he sent
a number of policemen down to the
house of tho Federal leader, with or
ders to place every person under ar
rest who left the premises.
I was an eye-wltnes3 to this whole
scandal, and probably I shall hardly
bo believed when I state that I saw
tho chief of police, Instead of devoting
his whole energy and means to tho
restoration of peace and order, dis
tributing handbills, containing the in
formation that a Uepublican man's
meeting was to be held Sunday, Sep
tember 17, 1900. Sutllce it to say my
heart sank within me on viewing tlie
mayor receive a copy of tho circular
and calmly read It.
Not a single arrest was made, and
the gentlemen who had gathered as a
result of tho threats against their lives,
who had been tlio object of the attack,
whose printing establishment had been
partially demolished, wore all com
pelled to remain in tho house of their
leader, under penalty of arrest. In
fact, flvo gentlemen who left tlio prem
ises shortly beforehand, accompanied
by nn American army olllccr, xvero
seized nnd thrown into Jail. The army
ofllcor referred to was searched and
Ills arms taken away from him by six
policemen. This was probably the first
Instance where such an act was ever
committed upon an American olllccr.
All of the men arrested were from the
finest families of Porto Rico. Thoy
were the only ones arrested, although
they being non-partlclpants In the
brawl.
Statement Not Verified.
The Republican party now claim
that the Federals In the meeting com
menced the attack, though the walls
In the rear of where tlie mob was
would show, by it? apparent bareness
of marks, the falsity of such state
ments, while the walls of the house In
which tlie meeting was being held
show unmistakable signs of a very
heavy fusllade having been directed
against It.
In closing my article. I am startled
by the firing of revolvers, the hasty
slamming of doors, and the running of
people, which Indicates a further out
berak. Let us hope for the day when the
people or this island will thiow aside
party prejudices, and work In har
mony nnd unison for the common wel
fare and prosperity.
The educations of the masses, a le
vlslon of the laws governing the Island,
and closer study of what self-government
j rally Is. will bring about this
result. Victor II. PInkney.

Today tlie strike enters upon its sec
ond week, with the conditions remain
ing practically as they xvero when the
miners laid down their tools, and xvlth
nothing to chronicle In tho -way of dis
orderly outbreaks that are everywhere,
dreaded on occasions of this kind.
With those not directly connected
xvlth the strike, however, changed con
ditions have come. Huslness men In
particular are beginning to seriously
feel its effects In contracted trade, and
manufacturers llnd themselves ap
proaching the possibility or being com
pelled to close down their plants Tor
want or fuel. Knllrnnd men, particu
larly, are made to realize the lateral
effects of the strike, by reason or en
forced idleness for want or something
to take the place or coal as rrcight Tor
their trains, and, more serious still,
they are beginning to dread complica
tions which may arise, through the
aversion to handling xvhnt Utile rue is
being prepared, that may also draw
them lulo n strike.
The one thing tlvat- causes tho most
worry in this locality Is the fear that
tho Irresponsible element lo bo found
In every great mass of men, and wli'eb
doubtless is not xxanllug in tlie ranks
of the strikers, can not be controlled
by their lenders or held In check by
the authorities, and when the coal com
panies coininenee tn open up their col
lieries, ns It Is pretty well agired Ihey
xxlll soon attempt to do, violence nny
ensue.
Whether or not llils fear la will
grounded icmnlns lo lie seen. The seri
ous couseiiueiicesof the outbreak .it
Hheiiandnali will hae a deterring cf
fect on any Inclination to laxx lessness,
ami llils, coupled with ihe fact lint
the Mine Workers' union has nluumt
every striker In the region enrolled In
their organization and makes II a first
duty to coiins"! them strenuously
against even the oeeaslonn of disorder,
gives grounds for hoping Hint tills le
gion will be sp.ircd anything appio.nli
Ing the regrettable occurrences of other
places.
Report Is Denied.
