Kilns that the Intention of the loglslatun

for the colored people opportunities to gc

a plan for the relief of some of the desti
tution in Porto Rico. Over 100,000 of the
natives , according to Dr. Henna , have been
without bread and meat for six weeks and
are on the verge of starvation. General
Grant has reported thlrtj-nlno deaths from
starvation in a single province.
Iho aid the military authorities In Porto
Rico were able to give the natives In the
way of distribution of rations and employ
ment on the roads has greatly reduced since
the free distribution of latlons was sus
pended , and some of the Porto Rlcan
planters and merchants have dovlscd a
Fchemo which they believe will afford much
icllcf to the destitute and at the same time
servo them by Introducing Porto Rlcan
goods In American markets. The price of
coffee In Porto Rico Is very low , on ac
count of the largo crop In Brazil , and they
offer to contribute a large amount to be
sold In this country through tbe agency
of the Red Cross , the proceeds to go toward
the relief of the distressed upon the Island
The Porto Rlcan Steamship company UPS
offered to carry these contributions free
The company also offers to carry contribu
tions of mignr fruits , preserves , cigars
