It now appearo that Gaget was a clerk In

a trap )vas laid, Into1 which Gaget tell,. A
search of his apartments revealed a state

American Interests.
WASHINGTON, April 11. Word was re- '
eclved at tho Navy department today of the
arrival of Admlrnl Kautz's flagship, tho
Philadelphia, nt San Juan del Sur, Costti
Rica, whero It was ordered from San Fran
cisco for tho protection of American Inter
ests, said to bo endangered by political tip
risings In Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
A revolutionary expedition, under com
mand of General Ilcrrarra, Issued from
Nicaragua, sailed down tho western coast of
Costa Rica and landed nt David, a point on
tho Pacific sldo of tho BtHp of Colombian
territory, which forms tho Isthmus of
Panama. Both Senor Cnldon, tho Colombian
minister, and Senor Calvo, the Costa Rlcnn
minister, agree upon tho fact that the move
ment was not mado cs n means of attack
ing Costa Rica on tho south, as was as
sumed, but rather that tho Invasion Is
directed against Colombia.
Tho fact that tho Invading band tailed
down to David In o boat loaned by the gov
ernment of Nicaragua Is regarded ns signifi
cant, particularly as the boat was returned
to that government, after the landing of tho
expedition.
Senor Caldon has heard nothing of the
Invaders slnco their appearaneo on Colom
bian soil, but believes that they contomplato
tho acquirement of tho entire Isthmus.
General ilcrrarra, tho leader of the In
vading force, Senor Caldon says, was for
merly a musician In one of Colombia's mili
tary bands, who left that country for Vene
zuela and afterward went to Nicaragua,
whero his rlso In military affairs evidently
has been very rapid.
The fact that a revolution Is now engag
ing the attention of the Colombian govern
ment probably decided the Nlcnraguans In
acting nt the present time. '

Tho speaker ruled that as the previous
question had been ordered on tho rule,
Richardson's motion was not In order.
"Vote! Vote!" enmo from many quarters
nnd tbo ppeaker beat n lively tattoo to
secure order, while tho vote was taken.
Tho viva voco vols was indecisive nnd to
savo tlmo n yen and nay vote was taken
on the adoption of tho rule.
Tho voting was followed with Intense In
terest. The "whips," Long and Underwood,
hovered about tho desk, seeing that every
posslblo voto wao recorded.
Test Vote in Ileitihllcnti
Tho nnndunccment of the adoption, of tho
rule ayes, 15S; noes, 142 (present and not
voting, 11 was greeted with salves of np
plauso on tho republican side. The ma
jority was n general surprise. It was re
garded as a test vote. It was decided that
tho tlmo remaining, three nnd a half hours,
should bo equally divided between tho two
sides, Payno nnd Richardson to control tho
tlmo on their respective sldco. Payne
yielded to Watson of Indiana, who opened
tho debate.
McCnll of Massachusetts said that tho pro
posal to tax the products of Porto Rico had
aroused Indignation everywhere. It had
transformed tho whole country Into a Dos
toti tea party (democratic applause).
Hopkins of Illinois acscrtcd that tho bill
when enacted Into law would be far moro
advuutngcous to tho people of Porto Rico
than tho United Stntea laws tn force In
New Mexico, Arizona cr any territory of the
United States. No money was taken from
tho treasury of tho United States for build
ing school houses or reads In nny of the
territories.
In Aeeord with Mile' Printline,
Tho Internal revenue laws of the United
Stntes wcro In full force In the territories.
Ho claimed that the bill was In strict ac
cord with tho humane promises mndo by
General Miles.
Richardson concluded the debate on his
sldo. He aroused great enthusiasm among
tho democrats, ,
Dolllvcr of Iowa followed. In nil generos
ity and charity, ho said, ho conceded tho
right of every man to hold his own opinion.
Much had been mado of the fact that changes
had been mado In the opinions of men on the
floor and In tho executive branches of tho
government and tho final eloquence on tho
other side, he said, had been tho reading of
tho opinion of a "law clerk who thought ho
could overrulo tho creat lawyer who pre
sides over tho War department."
Dolllvcr said ho would prefer the opinion
of lawyers Ilko McCall or Llttleilold to the
opinion of a law clerk. Proceeding, ho
asked Richardson polntetlly whether ho
would nccept the opinion of General Davis.
Which opinion?" caked Richardson.
"GIvo us both opinions and I will take my
choice." (Laughter).
"This Is hie official report," snld Dolllvcr.
"Did he not In his sworn testimony before
tho Insular committee recommend free
trade?" asked RIchnrdnon.
Dolllvcr read General Davis" opinion nnd
also the opinion -of Dr. Carroll, tho prcsi-
dont s confidential agent.
"Did not Dr. Carroll recommend free
trade?" asked Richardson.
For Ultimate Free Trnde,
"Ultimate frco trade," rosponded Dolllvcr.
"Just oh this bill docs."
In conclusion ho dismissed a.i beneath con
tempt tho chargo of bribery as a motive for

LEAVING A STRICKEN ISLAND
Ma.ny Nntlve Iiihnhltiiuts ns Well ns
Ainrrlcnns Ilcpnrf I an Condition
of the Poor.
PONCE, P. R., April I. (Correspondencsof
tho Associated Press.) At no tlmo slnco tho
hurrlcano of August 8 last lins tho condition
of the poor of Porto Rico been ns bad ns It
Is today. About 93 per cent of the Island
may bo placed Ip tho peon class, which Is
mado up of a. mixture of nil racc3. In tho
other 5, per cent aro Included tbo well to do
educated people, such ns merchants, plant
ers and professional men and their famlllcu.
Thin better class Is able to pass through
such times as aro now prevailing without
actual physical Buffering, but their business
affairs aro at a standstill and have been for
a long tlmo and this doprlves tho majority
of tho largo laboring class of a m earns of
livelihood. This large body of laboring peo
ple furnishes tho very cheap nnd effective
labor which Is needed for agricultural and
other works, but nt all times they have been
In an underfed and poorly nourished condi
tion. Their hardships bavo been greatly
added to by the scarcity of fruit sln:e tbo
hurricane and Its consequent Increase in
price.
Salt fish, rlco and beans havo been im
ported frco of1 duty since the hurricane, hut
little of th benefit of-this has gone to tho
peons, and now when thoro la a prospect of
15 per cent of tho Dlngley tariff being placed
on thrno articles the price has been greatly
advanced. Merchants hesltato to import
largo stocks because of the- proapo:t of frco
trado -and the present scarcity Is also tho
cause for tho advance In prices.
No ouo who understands tho situation hero
will deny that much of tho good feeling be
tween Porto Rlcans and Americans has been
lost, llcsldca Americans are fewer In num
ber In Porto Rlco today than nt any tlmo
slnco shortly after the troops first landed
nnd thoso departing have left a long Hat of
defunct companies, bankrupt business, bank
rupt rehemes nnd anxious credltoni, who In
somo cases hold choice collections of worth
less notes and checks.
Not only arotAmcrlcans leaving tho Island,
but largo numbers of Porto Rlcans havo
gono to Venezuela, to Santo Domingo nnd
to Cuba. Three days ago moro than 300
natives sailed for Cuba, to obtain employ
ment thero nnd nt least 1,000 have sailed
from this port alone during tho last threa
montlm. Much livo stock is also being
shipped to Cuba. The greatest loss to Porto
P.lco In this respect is the large cargoes of
magnlficont cattle, which it will tako years
to replace.
General Davis Is being deluged with peti
tions ns well as visits from committees of
citizens from all over the Island, all asking
that part of tho $2,000,000 opproprlatlon bo
spent In ItB particular locality. Tho sugar
planters of Cabo Rojo think $200,000 should
bo Bpent for a central factory for their betm
fit, while the municipal council of Ponco has
appointed a committee to ask for part of the
money for Improvements for tho Ponco
waterworks.
Municipalities In Porto Rlco nro mostly
in a state of absolute bankruptcy nnd havo
been so for months. Tho alcaldes, council
men and other officers do not relish at
tempting to run towns without' funds nnd
resignations havo been so numorous that
General Davis has found It necessary to Is
suo an order on tho subject, giving causes
for which resignations will bo accepted.
TOBACCO SHORT OF STAMPS
St. I.ouIh Firm Gnllly of Ilefruuil
Ins; the Government of
I.nrice Sum,
SAN. FRANCISCO, April 11. Flvo hun
dred pounds of plug cut tobacco were seized
In various local stores by Internal rovenue
agents becaujo tho pnckagcB wcro Insuffi
ciently stamped. This tobacco, manufac
tured by a St, Louis firm, had teen put up In
packages weighing from an ounco and threo-
quarters to two ounces and tho packages
had been uniformly stamped as wolghlng
an ounqe and two-thirds.
Collector Thomas, who mado the dlscovory
of this revonuo law violation, Bays that tho
fraud has evidently been carried on very
extensively and he estimates that tho cost
to tho government has been fully $50,000 a
year. A general search for unstamped
packager) has been begun and all tobacco
found to exceed tho weight Indicated by the
stamps will bu confiscated.
