INSULAR COMMISSION'S WORK
To Recommend Immediate Introduction of
Our Laws for Porto Rlcans ,

( Corrcipondenco of the Associated Press. )
SAN JUAN DB 1'ORTO RICO , Aprlf 12. A
few days after the arrival In Sun Juan of the
Insular commlfislon appointed by the presi
dent to assist him In colonial matters It
opened an ofllcp for public hearings. Gov
ernor General Henry extended to It every
possible facility for Its Investigations. After
two or three weeks at the capital It went to
several cities on the north and west side of
the Island and two members subsequently
made a hurried trip to the east coast
It has been learned through reliable
sources that those gentlemen nro to report
In favor of nn Immediate Introduction of
American lawn and customs The Porto
Hlcnns welcomed the Americans , but the
foisting upon thorn of this radical plan -will
make them a "sullen people" Indeed. The
policy of General Henry has been to Intro
duce American methods and principles Into
the Island as fast as circumstances would
permit. His Idea Is to colonize gradual ! } ,
not to Americanize at once , In the hope that
before many years the Porto Hlcaiis , who
are extremely scneltUo and jcilous of their
prerogatives , will be In possession of a ter
ritorial form of government.
Thrrntrncil 11(11 American Politician.
To place American politicians In the of
fices of the Island will , It Is asserted , dls-
ledge or reduce men thoroughly familiar
with the people and the language and add
to the present general distress. Many of
the native officeholders have secured their
positions under civil service rules , and with
a modernizing of their business methods
will provo efllclent.
The climate of Porto Illco during the
warm mouths Is not suited to Americans ,
as was shown by the experiences of last
summer and fall , and It Is claimed that
the "carpet-baggers" would spend nt least
six months of every jear In tha north at
the expense of the Islanders
If the alleged suggestions of the Insular
commission arc adopted Generil Henry's
policy , people hero claim , would bo re
versed and a civil governor appointed.
Americans who have studied the Island and
Its people bollevo that If the military gov
ernor Is relieved ho should bo succeeded
by a man who places duty above party and
who will be In sympathy with the people
and the gradual colonization of the Island.
The other ofllces should bo given to the
Islanders , except In a few cases where u
sort of official instruction Is necessary.
The revenues of the Island can easily bo
arranged on a toasls that will not unduly op
press the people , who are extremely poor na
n whole , and at the same tlmo meet the ex
penses of local government and provide for
a yearly payment to the United States for
Its protection. The goal of actual self-gov
ernment In Porto nice lies In the remote
future.
The Insular commission was the recipient
of numerous addresses and memorials. Most
of thcso wcro of a political character and
will probably never find their way to pub
licity.
Politicians of the capital presented ad
dresses on questions of politics and govern
ment : the sugar growers along the coasts
and through the valleys showered them with
petitions ; the coffee growers of the moun
tains memorialized them ad Inflnltum , and
the exporters of Ponce summarized their de
sires In an able and comprehensive pamphlet ,
which was filed with the commission. The
Pence address , like all the rent , prays for
the cessation of the military government In
Porto nice , In order that It may be declared
a territory , but at the snmo time pays a
high tribute to the representative o the
military government General Henry.
NeedH of tlic Inland.
On the arrival of the colonial commission
here the representative bankcre and mer
chants appointed a committee to draw up an
address In the nature of an exposition of the
needs of the Uland. Most of the members of
the committee have branch houses at Ponce ,
and as a matter of fact the address was
dated there. Some ot the more suggestive-
passages follow :
"Porto nice wishes In the most earnest
manner the cessation ot the military govern
ment , In order to be declared a territory. In
order that It may become capable of attain
ing Its final Institutions , In which we sea
the only solution of Its political , social and
economic problems.
"The military government does not harm
us "by being military , more so when It Is rep
resented as It Is now In Porto nice by a
gentleman Inspired 'by honest purposes ; but
the military government brings with It gen
erally an unsettled condition of affairs and
the abnormal periods of life prevent every
where the development of the commonwealth
In all orders.
"As a result of the treaty of peace the
markets of Spain and Cuba , -which took a
great portion of our products , arc lost for
us , without the compensation of their free
admission Into the markets of the American I
union. And all this takes place In moments
In which the decrease In the prlcoi of coffee
Is more and more pronounced In all the mar
kets , a decrease which Is aggravated hern ,
owing to the permanent and accidental
causes that nro operative. ,
"And the commerce In the limited mani
festation carried hero suffers the consequences
quences of tbo bad situation of agriculture ,
with which It Is Intimately connected , owing
to the want of banking Institutions to facili
tate Its Independence ,
"Wo consider It absolutely necessary and
indispensable to our future that our products
'be ' admitted free In the markets of our now
metropolis. It will greatly facilitate the
rapid Increase of our products , such as
tobacco , which U produced of excellent
quality hero , but It Is an article that has no
market now , owing to the actual , practical
prohibitive tax of flpaln and Cuba , the
principal markets of our loaf.
"We also deem It necessary to strengthen
our banks by supplying them v/lth sulllclent
capital , In order to enable them to glvo effi
cient help to all branches of labor and al
lowing them to exercise their functions un
der the provisions of the present banking
laws , which are of unquestionable superior
ity , under a scientific point of view to those
which regulate the existence of such estab
lishments In the United States.
"Let the government at Washington allow
us to solicit a loan which would be guaran
teed by the Island with the principal Idea
of strengthening Bald banks , so that In behalf -
half of the islands they can extend the
sphere of their transactions , Glvo from said
loan to the Banco Territorial y Agrlcola
$5,000,000 or $6,000,000 and $2,000,000 or 13-
000,000 to the Banco Espanola , that they may
recover their former activity
"Contribute also $1,000,000 to Increase the
capital of the Credlto y Aherro Ponceno , so
that Its principal commercial functions maybe
bo extended and madn moro profitable for
all
"Finally , facilitate the establishment ot
other hanks , the treasury of the Island con
tributing part of the necessary capital , seas
as to encourage the establishment of these
Institutions of credit Take also from the
eald loan the necessary amount for the rapM
building of roads.
Wrnltli of Hfnourffii ,
"Fortunately this loan Is an easy matter ,
as the treasury of the Island was left by the
V
Spaniards free of all debt Porto UIco rep
resents considerable wealth which H re
vealed by our valuable production * and In
the habits of Us Inhabitants and peace and
order prevail.
"Whatever the kind of taxation that maybe
bo finally decided upon , considering the fer
tility of the soil , the density of the popula
tion nd consequently the great amount of
wealth which can bo developed by n scien
tific direction In the management of public
and commercial affairs , wo do not In the
least doubt that Porto UIco would never bo
In want of resources to support Its adminis
tration , whether It Is given a territorial
form of government or that of the state to
which It justly nsplres.
"A rapid and well exercised justice is the
best way of dignifying charactcis and also
most ancient guarantee for the Interests of
all. Tor this very reason It Is necessary In
thcso times to organize courts In such forms
that their proceedings be rapid and consequently
quently of fruitful results. Our laws have
generally a scientific principle and consequently
quently nro advantageous to all , but the
secondary ones that help to their practical
use do not hnrmanlro with the spirit of the
first , thus rendering them difficult.
"To establish n sjstem of laws that would
abolish unnecessaiy formalities , avoiding
captious Interpretation and eliminating
some offices that almost constitute nn ob
struction to the free exercise of rights , thus
preventing the development of wealth , are
questions that ought to engage the attention
of the government.
"We could not consider our delegate mis
sion finished It we did not Inform you on
the question of public edu-atlon , which la
of paramount Importance and of great neces
sity for the development of social life. The
study of natural philosophy , chemistry ,
mathematics and foreign languages must
bo amplified In the high schools , and the
study of the ancient languages suppressed
vvhllo the study of political and commercial
geography must bo enlarged , thus creating
great aptitude for enterprises.
"The cication of schools of art , the ones
for mechanical professions and of the nor
mal schools , is very Important and useful
as these will form the technical help that
ma > bo needed In our future schools and to
servo our Industries. It Is also of unques
tionable utility that gjmnaslums bo created
to develop the physical conditions of the
scholars. Our sjstem of education should ha
completed by establishing savings banks in
our primary and high schools to Tamlllar-
lo the young people from their earliest ago
with the habltH of economy which constitute
a principal factor In the prodigious develop
ment of the wealth of people In our present
times.
"Wo omit to speak of the professional ed
ucation which will surely find the adequate
form In the Institutions of the metropolis ,
but with the modifications wo propose In the
primary and high schools , the aptitudes of
our people would Increase considerably ,
thus developing useful faculties. Their mor
ality also would bo strengthened , thus ar
riving at what Is a necessity In modern
social communities and the lack of which
is greatly felt In ours. "
DESIRES OF PORTO RIOANS
Mrmnrliil It I'iM'Nuiitcil Outlining Cer

by the I'onnlt * .
WASHINGTON , April 19. Dr. Julio Henna
and M. ! 5eno Gaudla today presented to the
president a memorial drawn up by them as
commUsloners of the people of Porto Itlco ,
asking that exclusive military control over
the Island bo withdrawn and that matters
relating to the various branches of the civil
government of the Island be turned over to
the control of the departments in Washing
ton having Jurisdiction over similar matters
In the United States ; that the troops In the
Island be reduced to the number necessary to
garrison the ors and military posts , that
the people of the Islands be granted all the
privileges and Immunities of citizens of the
United States ; that a census be taken so
that congress can Intelligently decide upon
the permanent government of the Island ,
"whether Porto Illco Is to be organized as
a territory , admitted as a stale or disposed
of In any other way. "
The memoilal a > s In part :
Under the conditions of the treaty of peace
which you have Just proclaimed and has
thereby become the supreme law of the
Island , the Island of Porto Rico , which has
an area of about 3,500 bquarc miles and a
population of nearly 1,000,000 Inhabitants ,
has been added to the national domain of the
United States. This addition which has been
made as If It were a mere convejnnco of real
estate without consulting In the least tha
wishes of the people of the island and con
trary to all precedents without providing
either for the "political btntus" ot the name
Inhabitants , the determination of which Is
loft to the goodwill of the congress of the
United States , and the cession by Spain to
the United States of Its bovcrelgn rights
wbother forfeited or not over the land the
people of Porto nice Is for the moment at
least practically consummated
Under such circumstances neither the
president of the United States nor the Amer
ican people may ever object to the people ot
Porto nice , a manly , highly educated people
of the Caucasian rate , felling apprehensive
about the situation in which they have been
loft by the treaty , and hasten I o come before
you In search of that relief to which , under
all considerations of justice , th-ey are cer
tainly entitled.
Prior to the proclamation ot the treaty of
pe.ico and the final acceptance by the United
States of the convejance made to them by
Spain no action , houcvei Just In principle
or Intrinsically meritorious , could have prop
erly escaped from being premature. The
military occupation of Porto nice by the
United States of America was nn act of war
and as such It beolnga to a sphere where
laws and reason uru left In the background ,
"Inter anna silent togas. " But now that Ihu
war has ceased , and u perfect state ot peace
oxIaLa In Porto Illco , do juro as well as do
facto , the moment has nirlvcd for the Porto
lilco people to glvo expression to their
wishes.
If there was any icason , no matter haw
strange or unaccountable , not to embrace
Porto nice In the declaration made by con
gress In section 1 ot the act approved by
you April -0 , 1SUS , that the people of Cuba
are and of right ought to bo free and Inde
pendent , that teason could not go so far nn
to declare that the Porto nice people nro
nnd ought of right to bo deprived of "the
Inalienable rights. Including 'liberty , llfo
nnd the pursuit of lmH'l es8. ' with which
the Creator endowed all men. "

I have been afflicted for jwrs with female
trouble and a pain in my left side. Our home
doctors could not help me , so 1 w ent to Spring
field for treatment. Tlie physician said I had en-
hrijement and ulceratlon of the womb. Igot so
weak and poorly the doctor told me I had better
go home. He adv ised me to get some Wine of
Cardui to take at home. I bought two bottles ,
and am surprised at the result. It helped me more
than aiijtiling I ever took and 1 am up doing
my housework.
LAURA CLIMER.
You don't often find physicians recommending what arc
called "patent mcdicinu" . Thousands of them however arc
frank enough to admit that Wine of Cardui will cure "female
diseases" . If this jreat medicine does noi cure , nothing will.
The case of Laura Climcr is simply one of thoiuandf where
Wine of Cardui has restored women to health after the best
*
physicians had given them up as beyond the aid of human help. , >
