Of dig wild roots and slowly starve to death. "Gardens are practically unknown In the Islands. The people live upon rice and codfish, beans and wild fruits and roots. The whole mass of the population Is In a chronic state of starvation. From lack of food the laborers are unable to work more than three days each week.

They are willing to work, but have not the strength to do so. Tet certainly one-tenth of the Island Is In cultivation. Here are a million people who have a rich soil uncultivated, a good climate, slowly starving to death, hy? The only explanation Is that they have so long lived under bad laws and unfavorable economic condition that now. In their extreme poverty and Ignorance, they do not know enough to draw their food from the earth." MURDERED BY AN ITALIAN. Dispute Over King Humbert Fatally, Ended NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. Aug. dispatch to the Tiroes from London says: Our market has, on the whole, taken the sale of British exchequer bonds In New York with equanimity. At first a howl of wrath arose from the stock ex change, whose hungry, desperxtely hungry members had meditated In their brief holiday over the of making a little by the Issue to help recoup them for their losses in "khakis." So great preparations were made to send lists of amplifications and to get another monstrous demonstration by the help of which the bonds could be held at a premium until the market had sold its anticipated allotments. But th cup never reached the lip.

The bank shut Its door? in the faces of banker and broker alike, even the of continental applications collected by the diligence of the Rothschilds getting tossed aside with the others.

commissioner of Education traws a Dark Picture of Existing Conditions. NEW YORK, Aug. 13. Major E. Graff, a commissioner of education for Porto Rico, has contributed to the recent Issue of the Independent an article entitled ''After Two Years' Work in Porto Rico." The major, after reviewing the Improvements In sanitation which resulted In the extinction of small-pcx, by which the Island was cursed, details other improvements made by the Americans.

He tells of the establishment of new schools, and says: "Standing armies are not needed with buch a force as that of the insular police. "A'l the great damage done to the roads by the hurricane of August 8, lfa9, has been repaired with the exception of replacing costly Iron bridges," writes Major Graff, who th-n draws a dark picture. He says: "The effects of the hurricane are still felt In the continued scarcity of food, and there is still great suffering and sickness among the people because of a lack of nutrition. At thr present moment, the City of Ponce Is suffering more than any other point. A report Just made to the superior board of health shows that the death rat-1 Is now about 100 per 1000 per annum and while the deaths are, all recorded as due to gastroenteritis, the Inspector of the board reports that these deaths are almost wholly due to starvation.

"The condition favoring us in Porto Rico Is this: That Island sells sugar, coffee and tobacco, and buys nearly all its food. The great storm and progressive finnneip. difficulties have mined the planters so that they are unable to employ tho iaborew, The -person, who never receive more than 30 cent gold per day, having no worry, do not turn to raising food for themselves, but had been obliged to resort to the bank for dally assistance, and the bank refuse to make short advances under 4H per cent. Banks generally hold out tor four per cent on paper bought by them from brokers, and this rigidity prevents the brokers from working much at four per cent. Behind all this lies the drmd about gold.

"What are 5,000,000 to our probable necessities?" the croak' ers cry. The bank return la eloquent of plnchedness to an extent well calcu lated to keep the market In a cautious mood. This last week ended with the market perhaps a shade more comfor table In mind, and discount rate again showing a disposition to go back. Money Is becoming dearer In Germany, and foreign bankers assert that the struggle for credit enough to sustain the markets and to carry on the Innumerable enterprises to which the Germans have committed themselves may once more become Intense within that empire before many weeks are over. Our stock markets are still doing nothing and putting their best face on it.

The government admit In its latest balance shet a deficit of 50.000,000 and It Is suspected to be nearly double that amount. WHOLESALE SMUGGLING. Trader Tells How It Is Carried on From Dawson. VICTOR; A. R.
