WASHINGTON, May 27. Solicitor Gete.al
Richards of the Department of Jus.l:o,
who had charge of tho Insular cases befoie
the supreme court, tonight made the fol
lowing statement containing his interpreta
tion ot the decisions ot tho court today:
'The Important question Involved In
these cases was whether tho cession of ter
ritory contained In the treaty of I'arls made
Porto Rico and tho Philippines an lntrcgal
part nf tho United States within the uieau-
Ing of that provision ot the constitution
requiring 'all duties, Imposts and cerises
to be uniform throughout the United
Stntes.' Tho court held that tho cession
simply made Porto Rico nnd the Philip
pines domestic territory of the UniteJ
States, subject to the full control of con
gress, which control could be exercise!
without reference to those limitations
This limitation, the court held, was in
tended to apply to the states of tho union
anil does not apply to acquired territory
unless by treaty and by subsequent act of
congress It Is incorporated within and
becomes an lntecral purt of tho United
States.
"Tbo decisions nro substantially a victory
for the government. Thoy sustain to the
fullest extent tbo so-called Insular polity
of the administration. The government uo.v
has the sanction of the supremo court fnr
governing thiso Islands as their needs re
quire. Tho court holds that the constitu
tion did not of Its own force at once apply
to thoso ceded territories, placing ihelr
people, their products nnd their pons on an
Immediate equality with ours and confer
ring upon them all tho rights privilege! and
Immunities enjoyed by tho people, products
and portR of the several states.
Tor t'ouxri'MN in Determine.
"Whllo their fundamental rights arc pre
served by theso underlying principles of
tho constitution which apply everywhere,
the status of their citizens and the nature
ot the customs and commercial regulations
nro to be determined by congress and tho
exercise of tho power vested by the con
stitution In congress to make all needful
rules and regulations respecting territory
belonging to the United States,
"Obviously what I have said regarding
Porto Rico applies equally well to the Phil
ippines, so that the president Is perfectly
free, under the Spooner act, to govern tho
Philippines as their needs and our Inter
ests may requlro.
"At tho same time that the court has
sustained to the fullest extent the con
tention of the government in theso casos
it has decided as a matter of statutory
construction that the Dlngley act could
not bo held to Impose duties on goods
brought from Porto Rico, because by ces
sion Porto Rico became domestic territory
of tho Dnltod States and therefore ceased
itb b'e a foreign country.
"Tbo decisions of the courts call for no
change In the administration of the law.
The court did not decide what Is known
as the setond Dooley case, which Involved
the Invalidity of the collection ot duties
under the Forakcr act on goods taken
Into Porto Rico from tho United States.
While I have no Information on tho subject.
It may be that the court thinks there Is
Involved In the cases another question as
to whether such duties would not amount
to duties on articles exported from n state.
The court also failed to dispose of what
Is popularly known as the 'fourteen dia
mond rlnps case,' Involving the entry, free
of duty, of rings brought Into the United
States by a returning boldlcr from tho
Philippines. Thero were no decisions af
fecting the Philippines todaj and I pre-
. . , . i i , ...in t
sumo Doin oi wmse ruaea rt.crii.-u iu m i
go over until the fall ierm of the court."

NEW YORK. May 27. Senator J. II. For
nker was neon tonight at tho Wnldorf
Astorla and made a statement concerning
the d3cislon. "Thero seems to be some
contusion n the newspapers regarding tho
decisions rendered in the supreme court in
tho Insular eases, owing to the fact that
a number of cases wero considered and
disposed ot nt the same tlmo, each one
raising a different question and altogether
supposed to cover tho various questions
that have been raised with respect to the
constitutional power of congress to leg
islate for tho new acquisitions.
"In order that tho decision may bo fully
understood It Is necessary to bear In mind
that Porto Rico has passed through three
distinct periods that havo relation to these
cases. In the first place, prior to tho Spon-Ish-Amerlcan
war Porto Rico was a prov
Inco of Spain, and as such 'foreign terri
tory' In every senso of the word. The
Island remained foreign territory, In n
legal sense, notwithstanding our conquest
nnd military government, until the question
of tho ratification of tho treaty of peace,
when It ceased to be foreign territory and
became a possession or dependency of tho
United States, but not a part of tho United
Stntes. Being a dependency of this coun
try, It was domestic territory as contra
distinguished from foreign territory. It is
domestic territory still, but It underwent
a further change In Ita legal relations to
this country when congress enacted tho
law of April 12, 1900, providing a civil duty
and tariffs.
Wliut the Court Decided.
"What the court decided was that while
wo wore occupying Porto Rico prior to the
ratification of tho treaty of peace it was
foreign territory and our occupa'lon and
government waa military and all tf.at was
done was In tho nature ot a military neces
sity and valid In their account. From and
after the ratification nf tho treaty of peace
It was no longer foreign territory, but
domestic territory within the meaning of
our tariff law, according to which tariff
duties can bo collected only on Importa
tions from foreign countries and that con-

Tho explosion was caused by what Is
known among miners ns a blown blast. It
Is tho custom of the miners to place blasts
and fire them off at quitting time each aft
cruoon, lenvlng the coat thus thrown down
to be loaded and hauled from tho mine the
next morning. The Rich mine Is destitute
of water and great volumes of fine partlcle3
of coal dust, Invisible to the naked eye, nc
cumulate nt the roof of tho mine. This dust
Is subject to explosion If exposed to flames.
This afternoon nt 4-30 o'clock a dynamite
cartridge was placed In position In ono of
tho rooms for a blast and the miners
started for tho mouth of the mine, Tho
blast did not explode as intended, but In
stead, a long Hums shot out of tho blast
hole ami Ignited tho accumulation ot dust
Instantly a terrific explosion occurred and a
seething mass ot flame shot to the mouth
ot the mlno nnd extended 300 feet Into tho

WASHINGTON. May 27.-In the United

handed down In all but two of the case
before that court, Involving tho relations
of tho United States to Its Insular posses
sions, Tho two cases In which no con
clusion wns announced wero thoso known ss
the "fourteen diamond rings" case, and the
second ot the Dooley eases. The unde
cided Dooley case deals with a phaso of
the Porto Rlcnn question, aud tho diamond
lings enso Involves tho right to tho frco
Importation of merchandise from tho Philip
pines to th United States.
Tho original Intention of tho court had
been to adjourn after today's sitting for
tho term, but discussion of tho cases
passed on today took about flvo hours, so
tho court adjourned until tomorrow, when It
Is presumed tho remaining enses will be
passed upon.
Of the several cases decided today the
two which attracted the greatest share of
attention from tho court were what Is
known as tho Dellma case nnd that known
ns tho Downes case, nnd of theso two the
opinion In the Downes case Is considered
the most far-reaching, ns It nffects our fu

dealt with a transitional phnso of our In

farther. That caso dealt with tho legality
of the exaction of duties on goods Im
ported from Porto Rlco Into New York
utter the passago of the Foraker act, pro
viding for a duty upon goods shipped from
tho United States Into Porto Pico and
thoso shipped from Porto Rlco Into thi
United States. In this caso tho court held
that such exaction was legal and constitu
tional. Tho point of tho two opinions considered
collectively Is that Porto Rlco was nover,
after tho acquisition of that Island, for
eign territory; that until congress acted
upon the question no duty could bo col
lected, but as soon ns congress outlined
n method of controlling tho Island's rov
cnues, that notion bocamo binding. In
other words, congress has power under
tho constitution to prescribe tho manner
of collecting tho revenues of the country's
insular possessions, and bns tho right to
lay n duty on goods Imported Into our in
sular poejosslona from the United States
or exported from them Into tho United
States. It holds, ln brief that for taxa
tion purposes thoy aro not n part of tho

shipped between their portB and tho United
States aro entitled to tbo samo treat
