SAN JUAN, Porto Hlco, Aug. 1. Today marks the beginning of a general raising of prices throughout the Island, caused by a misunderstanding of tho exchange of cur rency. Until a week ago It wuh widely known that after August 1 no mote I'orto Rlcan silver wutld bo exchanged, but tho notice of the Indefinite extension of time wa published fur and wldo. Still tho Idea prevails that hereafter the- peto will be ot no value. Yesterday the banks wens crowded after hours. Through n combina tion of tho traders throughout the Island foodstuffs and other necessities roso In price. With a large number It was moving day a day for Hitting from excessively Increased rents to cheaper lodgings. It was also a day on which money that ueus'iiy bought breakfast and dinner bought breakfast alone. Eggs that heretofore were bought for 1 or 3 contavos cost 10 centavos; tho rarbon for boiling these eggs. Instead of nesting 10 centavos, cost 25 coniavoH. The cost of every other nrtlclo of food was raised In about the name proportion. Tho wall of complaint was general. Houses which have rented for (10 pesos ($30) are now supposed to bring $50. Fur nished rooms at 10 pesos ($fi) now bring $10. Tho laborer who has been getting 1 peso a day (CO cents) now demands $1. It was commonly reported that all labor ers were to strike today for the same amount In American money formerly paid them In pesos. This raise In prices Is the result of a gradual Increase, a centavo or so at a time, commenced a month ago. It Is evident that a combination exists, as tho proprietors of mails at tho market were asking tho same prices, and the Increase Is uniform ab&ut town among the stores selling staple, Scvcril Instances were brought to the at tention of tho newspapers where purchasers wero told that commencing with today all prices will bo In American money. Accord ing to telegrams from many Interior townB the shops are closed and the peso Is refused In payment for goods. It Is fenred that riots and bloodshed will result before tho matter Is adjusted.

Dlffendorfer of Philadelphia, the builder and manager of the first woolen mill established In tho Chlnesa empire and a personal friend of Poo Tong, a brother to tho Chlncso emperor that was, tells tho following story of tho attack on Tien Tsin: "It was on the morning of July 17 that tho first clash between tho foreigners and the Imperial soldiers occurred. On tho afternoon of tho sama day tho bombard ment of tho Taku forts began. "Captain Halloy ot tho British ship Or lando was commander 'of the allied force at Tlon Tsin on July 17, as Captain Mo Calla was absent with Seymour nt tho time. About 11 o'clock In the forenoon ho saw smoke rising from the rnllrnud track, four miles dlstnnt from the city, and. sus pecting that the Hoxcrs hnd fired another bridge, Captain Dalloy ordered thirty of his bluo Jackets, commanded by a midship man, to proceed to tho spot and Investi gate. We hnd a three-Inch gun und tho men wero fully armed. When our flat ears had traveled about threo miles wo found a brldgo In which tho timbers had boon burned a way from the Iron girders and, considering It unsafo to cross, our commander ordered his men to return to tho city. Wo hnd gone nbout 300 yards on tho back trip when wo saw a lot of Chi nese soldiers about 1E0 crossing tho track at a point a mile ahead of us. liielilent I.enitM to lloiiilniriliiient. "They wcro walking very rapidly and ns we approached them all doubts ns to their being Imperial troops disappeared. They did not wear the red turban and sash that distinguished tho Iloxera and ns soon ns wo got within about S00 yards of them thoy scattered and got behind tho grave mounds. Regarding this action as sus picious, our mldehlpman gavo tho order to fire a volley and thoy quickly nnd vigor ously returned the salute. Our field piece was minus a sight and most of Its shots passed over tho onomy, so that after ten minutes of hot firing wo resumed our re treat, tho Chlncso tlrlnr nt us as long ns wo wcro within range. There wero no casualties on our sldo. The significant fea ture) of that Incident was Its bearing on the subsequent proceedings. If It had not been. for tho action of our parly that morn ing tho bombardment of Tien Tain might not havo been begun that nfternoon. In other words, I am Inclined to bcllevo that our attack on tho Chinese troops pre cipitated their bombardment of tho city. And for that reason the skirmish may at tain somo Importance when flnnl settle ments aro being mado." Dr. Dlffendorfer believes that tho troublo In China will be at an end within a couple of years nt tho furthest. "It will be a repetition of the Talplng re bellion, ho said, "when tho allies have captured Pekln, the Doxors will bo broken Into bands of marauders." Clllneac I (iniiM Well, Chatics Mcintosh, a Toronto (Canada) man, but an American citizen, who was Dr. Dlffetidorfcr's assistant In the woolen mill, said: I think I must have spent nbout fifteen days In the tower. I was doing sharp shooting most of the time. Wo got Lee Motforcl rifles from the arsenals anil tho number of Chinamen they bro.iglit to death 1 don't know I tried to run three engluoH out of Tien Tsin, but did not get fur. 1 thl"k wo must hnve got half way through. Hoilles of Chlncso were lying all ulontf the track, headless nnd butchered by tho Hox crs. The Chinese fought with spears and knives until they got In with the Imperial troops and would not use foreign guns. Now the:' havo a lot of them and they shoot well The tower commnnded n view of tho en tire, situation for miles. In tho lower jiart of the building the marines and soldiers wore holding tho position ngalnst tho at tacking party. Thoy had loopholcd tho building by removing the bricks nnd It was necessary that they should bo kept posted on the movements of tho enemy so as to bo prepared for tho charges. Wo signaled to hm from tho tower and arranged to let them know exactly where tho Chlnesa were, Wo used dumdum bullets and wo got them from the Chlneno arsenal. Thes' tear a man to pieces and wera prolrihly in tended for our fellows, but we gavo th Chinese a dose of their own medicine. Tho Chinese hnd three guns In nil trained on the mill.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6. Andrew D. White. United States ambassador to Germany, was a passenger on board the Deutschland, which reached Its dock today from Ham burg, Among other passengers on board the Deutschland was John D. Rockefeller. Mr. White said In answer to questions re garding affairs In China that Emperor Wltllam'6 speech to the soldiers who were going to China was generally mlslnter prated. "He never meant." the ambassador said, "to tell them to give tho Chlncso no quar ter. Nobody so understood his speech until tome French papers put that construction upon It. The first time I heard of such flu Interpretation wns when I received a certain Paris paper. The emperor Is an emotional man and ho may be Inclined to yield to tho Impulse ot tha moment, perhaps, but ho knows how to control himself and ho cer tainly never meant to commnnd his soldiers to bo merciless. What he did sny was for them to bear In mind that they were going to fnco a desperate foe. Von Ketleler Mourned. "Germany feels deeply tho assaislnatton of lis minister," Mr. White continued. "Baron von Kettclcr was a superior mnn. Ho was much admired and his sad death mado a Jeep Impression." Speaking of the general situation In China Anibaraador Whlto said with enthusiasm: "Tho present conflict means tho birth throes of a new era. It means the begin ning ot the opening of China to the civilized world." "Is thcro uny talk of partition In Ger many 7" wiib' asked. "Oh, no. This trouble will never termi nate In such a way. The war will end In tho allied powers dictating terms to China." "Admiral Kcmpff's conduct In China," Mr. White sold further, "wns at first miscon strued, but now tho Germans npprovo of his policy. Iliiln llUlrtmloil. "Russia Is looked upon with the usual dis trust," the ambassador continued, "but tho fnct that she and Germany fight shoulder to shoulder In China tends to Improve tho feel ing between the two countries." In conclusion tho ambassador touched upon tho admiration felt In Germany for our arms. "The German attaches who saw our men fight aro most exuberant In their praises of our army and navy, of tho valor and skill of our soldiers nnd sailors. "In this connection It may be said with Spain and the part wo play In the Chinese conflict has opened the eyes of Europo and made It seo a good deal more of us than It had dono before," , Ilunsln mill (iormnny (o Act Conjointly Asked what ho thought of tho cabled re port that Russia and Germany would do claro for war conjointly against China tho ambassador said: "I think It Is very unlikely. Both coun tries havo tho same cauBC for war find both would havo a common cause for acting to gether." Ho did not think partition would bo tnndo ot China and said on this subject: "I dp not think that tho powers will di vide China. The coudltion that meats them now Is tho pacification of the country. There Is no talk of partition In Gormany nnd I don't believe there will bo any on tho part of tho other powers. Thcro Is a big under taking before tho powers nnd thoy cannot go Into this with any feeling or desire for division of the Chtneso empire. Tho first thing Is the rescuo of the foreign ministers. Then will corao tho restoration of pence. Indemnities and such other solutions of nf fatrs will follow." Victoria At'knoM leilKi-H Allilress. ' LONDON, Aug. .

Address, Ilradfleld Regulator Co., Atlanta, Ca. PlrndliiK of Police Court Ailtoontr I 't'rmporn rllj liol-eil Off hy thr .roller. Julius S. Cooley. the attorney, Is again In disgrace. An unfeeling ofTlcer picked him up on .Farnnm street Monday after noon and Insisted upon retaining a hold of his cOAt collar alt tho way down to tho police station. Thl was a great shock to his "Judicial" dignity and Interfered with tho sot of the garment. Tho charge Is ob taining money under (also pretenses. Two women of tho town, arrested for using In decent language on the street, employed him as their counsel and gnvo him $20 to I hall them out, but they were fined In court nnd hnd to go back to Jail again because "Judge" Cooley In tho meantime had de cided to retain the $20 ns a fee Instcnd of putting It up as n bond. During tho afternoon another complaint of a somewhat similar character was made against tho "Judge" by a woman named Mrs. Zcllcr. Sho gavo Cooley $5 several days ago, she said, to get out n peace war rant and he had neglected the matter. So tho "Judge" was led Into the station with his coat "hiked" over his head like the shell of n turtle nnd was pushed Into a mixed bunch of hoboes waiting to bo booked. Several of these know Cooley personally, ns he had defended them In police court, nnd they were disposed to bo sociable. "Say, Judge." said the wooden-legged prisoner. "I'll share my bunk with yo to night If yo'll promise not to snore, but If ye snore yo gets this." And ho indi cated his peg leg. Tho "Judge" shook himself down Into his clothes, scrawled and chewed his cigar. Then, as a porfunclory Jailer, with a faro like a r.phynx, searched his pockets, the dappe exponent of Blackstono threw b.ick his shoulders add readjusted his tie so as to reveal a diamond pin, In which the Ineffectual daylight blinked dizzily. Tho greasy prloncr became reminis cent. "I remember the time youse played Ham let, Jedge," he said, poking the latter In the ribs with his thumb. "Do youse re member 'tho' lino thnt goes like this: Mil spend tonight In Jail, to Bleep, perchance to drennf? Say; that was hot stuff!" Hilt the 'Judge" didn't seem to know the greasy prisoner. Meanwhllrf'the sphynx with tho keys had flriUhcd" his Jot) nnd Mr. Cooley's personal effecltt lay In n neat little pile on the ser grant's desk. Among them wns one $10 bill nnd sixteen $1 bills making up tho "flash roll" which tbo "Judge" likes to exhibit. Tho bills ot small denomination nro wrapped In tho "saw-buck," which gives tho Impression that there Is nt least f ICO In tho bunch. He was then assigned to a cell nnd if tho lines, "Tho oppressor's wrong, tho proud man's contumely, tho Uw'h delay, tho Insolenco of office," didn't run through his mind at that moment It Is becnuso the eleven years that havo passed since he repeated them upon the stage havo blunted his memory of Hamlet's famous soliloquy, .Mr. CoiiiK'jck Kxnliilns OMAHA.
