WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 13.-
Charles H. Allen , at present assista :
secretary of the navy , will be the fir
civil governor of Porto Rico , und <
the provisions of the bill passed I
the house of representatives yesterda
Inasmuch as the act takes effect c
the first of next month , there is hi
little time left in which to outline
skeleton form of government , inclui
ing the formation of a cabinet.
Toward the close of the day Alle
was summoned to the White hoiii
by the president and the formal tei
der of the post was made. Allen r <
turned a practical acceptance. The
the president and the next govern <
of Porto Rico spent an hour in cloj
conference. Owing to the fact th ;
little more than two weeks' time intei
venes before the civil government mu
go into operation , according to tl
act of congress , it was decided that
would not be practicable to comple
the cabinet of the governor in th ;
time. Therefore Allen will go alone 1
San Juan at the earliest possible mi
ment after Secretary Long's return 1
Washington , which should be on Sa
uruay next.
He will put himself in touch wit
General Davis , now military governc
of the island , and spend a short tin
in acquainting himself with the ii

Governor Allen will return to tli

but in case it shall have been foun
possible to complete the formation c

that person will act as temporary goA
ernor. As to his intentions respectin
the administration of the island's al
fairs Allen disclosed these during
short interview this afternoon , in th
course o' which he said :
"It is true that the president ha
asked me to go to Porto Rico as th
civil governor. I regard this tende
in the spirit in which it is made , a
a great compliment , although its acceptance
ceptanco means undertaking grav
responsibilities.
"My own inclination and my per
sonal interests urge me to decline , bu
one should not always choose the eas
way. There is a patriotic duty some
times to be performed. If I can arrang
my alfairs in such a way as to enabl
me to do so I shall accept the positio
and I shall then be ready to start a

"My deep regret is leaving the nay
department. My service there has bee :
of the happiest sort and the attach

a pleasant memory. "
In the selection of Mr. Allen th
president has had in mind the appoint

business experience , qualities whic ]
are deemed essential in the administra
