A French Instrument for Measuring the Amount Present.

In France especially the work of study- ing the explosive rature of various mine gases has been carried on by Dr. Grehant, apd in a recent lecture published in the “Bulletin de la Societe d’Enccuragement” he describes and explains very fully the tion of his so-called “grisoumetre,” or apparatus for determining the proportion of combustfble gas existing in a sample of ™ r submitted for examination. The principle of the grisoumetre is that of burning the combustible portion of the sample of air by an incandescent spiral of platinim wire, measuring the reduction in volume, and deducing by the difference the proportion of fire-camp which must hav> been present. The measurement ts accon- plished by having the combustion chamber form the upper part of a graduated tube, 80 that the only observations necessary re readings of the graduations before and after the passage of the electric current, but special precautions have to be taken to insure the consiancy of all conditions, such as temperature and pressure, and the auxiilary devices for these purposes form essential parts of the apparatus, as Dr. Grehant clearly showed. 1 pm. Ham and | ‘THE PORTO RICANS Majority of the People Would Wel- come American Troops. SAMPLES JF SPANISH PATRIOTISM How ihe Bombardment of San Juan Was Treated. AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW While the United States is proceeding to capture Porto Rico, with no doubt that | the stars and strines will soon be floating in all parts ef that island, the Spanish authorities there have so vigorously sup- presscd news from the outside world or have reperted defeats of Spanish forces as victories that the great mass of the people have a feeling of confidence that the Americans will not be able to conver that little colony of Spain. ‘This is the story told py a Cuban lately arrived in this city after a visit through Porto Rico. This gentleman had every op- portunity to observe events in Porto Rico. Distorted Reports. “The people of Porto Rico,” he said to a Star reporter, “have been waiting for the Americans come there, and their failure to appear sooner after the bor- ardment of San Juan created a general opinion that they could not take that place and were driven off by the Spanish guns. Here is the report in La Correspon- dencia of San Juan, published May 16, of the bombardment,” he said, producing a clipping, which, trensleted, ‘follows: After the bombardment of San Juan the Americans buried their admiral, two officers ancl about eighty-five men at Purr to P a “Two battle ships were sunk, the Iowa wes rent in two and the New York is so isabled that it will probably sink. ‘The cannonading heard throughout the to island his been caused by the satutes of the Americans in honor of their dead. There is no doubt that the Yankees ha’ received a terrible Porto Rican waters. Sample of Spanish Patriotism. “Here is a sample of the Spanish patrict- ism served up to the Porto Ricans in their newspapers,” he continued, referring to the foilowing translation of articles from La Democracia of Ponce: “The Lion of Castile and the Eagle of Washington are face to face. The latter ngs and threaten death with but the lion, the legendary awaits it with blow to their pride its sharp beak hero of a hundred victories open claws. Can th we will look with respect at their engines of war and millions of men? Do they think Spain is almost ruined by the Cuban war? They are greatly mistaken. “Spain gives the money from her treas- ury, the blood of her veins—all—absolutely all, to her government, which is at this time best called to represent her honor. She who could, at the beginning of this cen- tury, repulse and conquer Napoleon's phi lanxes—the best soldiers in the world—will know at the end of the century how to drive back and overcome the Yankee troops. “When our country is threatened by an each Spaniard is a soldier, and each h woman a Spartan, and even the . trees, rocks, all that~breathes in the land which gave us birth, seem to be moved, crying out ‘War and death to the invade} ‘Porto Rico vibrates with patriotic im- pulses. The lightning of enthusiasm is in our mosphere and everywhere are heard loyal words which comfort the heart. The Porto e faithful to Spain and are willing their last atom of life. Let the come—if they dare! Let them come—if they can! The month of May ap- proaches and the august shades of Daoiz and Velarde look down upon us from heaven.” Captain General's Proclamation. “The Captain General to the Inhabitants of Porto Rico: “The day of trials, the hour of great resolutions and great, herofe acts, has ar- rived. The republic of the United States, trusting to its mighty resources and in the impunity with which it has been able to help the insurgents, has voted armed in- tervention in Cuba, thus breaking the ho: tilities and trampling on Spanish rights and the morai feelings of all civilized places. They send their naval forces to Cuba and also to Porto Rico. Here they will surely h to pieces before the 1o; alty and valor of its inhabitants, who would rather a thousand times die than surrender to the arms of the usurpers. “Do not think that your mother abi dons you. She watches our movements with enthusiasm and comes to our help. The fleets and forces are ready to fight, and the same seas ploughed by Columbus in his glorious caravels will be witnes of our victories. “Providence will not allow the echoes of our language to cease and the waving of our flag to disappear in these lands dis- covered by the Spanish rac ‘Inhabitants of Porto Rico, the moment of heroic acts has arrived and to answer, strong in right and justice, to war with war. Long live Porto Rico, forever Span- ish! Long live Spain! * * * “The Americans cannot play so easily with the rights of a country which knows how to shed torrents of blood and who has carried her glorious flag all over the world. If the United States think that on account of their money they are al- lowed to abuse the nations which they deem poor or small, let them know that the country of Juan de Austria and Chur- Tuca is changed in a marvelous way when her dignity is wounded. The proud re- public takes Spain's international courtesy a8 cowardice or weakness, and their act 1s so vile that it goes beyond the limits of abuse and provocation, and it makes Spain ask for war in order to put a stop to the insults of cowards. The United States is a second Carthage with its riches, power, ambition and mer- cenary republic. The queen of America must have a tragic end. She will feel Spain's punishment for her boldness and daring. The nineteenth century will close having Spain triumph with right, justice and dignit: . . . . . “The Porto Ricans have repulsed the English, French and Dutch invasions, and can do the same today. Those enemies could fight, while these bluffs of today are more used to make pyramids of dollars than to manage a sword or gun.” Real Feeling of the People. ‘These artici e but samples of mat- ter that is constantly being laid before the people of Porto Rico,” he continued, “but the fact is while Porto Rico is intensely loyal to Spain on the surface the most of | the people at heart welcome the idea of intervention by the United States and an- nexation by that country. As the Ameri- cans say ‘Remember the Maine,’ Porto Rica say “Remember ‘87.’ It was in 1887 that Spanish officials on the island perse- cuted relentlessly every man on the {sland suspected of being disioyal to Spain, or in favor of any form of government’ other than that then given the island. These per- seeutions were not directed against the poorer classes, but against the well-to-do people of the island, and the greatest hu- miliation was heaped upon members of the leading families here. An inquisition Was startea «nd a device for pressing upon men’s knuckles was used in order to force them to whatever confessions the authort- ties desired from them. Leading men of the country were taken from their homes at all hours of the night and horsewhipped and made to walk many miles to jail. One man wes made to walk sixty miles to jail in a distant city. “Now the men who suffered these indig- nities and persecutions are on the surface loyal to Spain, but to those they can trust they say ‘Remember 'S7.’ They will never | forgive Spain for those persecutions and chey will welcome the American flag. The Volunteers Would Desert. “I do not believe,” he continued, “that many volunteers in the Spanish army in Porto Rico will fight for Spain if they get a chance to desert. There 18 no real loy- alty among most of these volunteers. One Perto Rican I know told me he was being urged to take a commission in the volun- teer army, and supposed in order to keep from being persecuted he would have to take it, hut that he would desert as sogn as thé American forces were on Porto Rican soil. In Villalba the loyalty of the Spanish troops was suspected and their arms were taken from them. Later their arms were returned to them. Every man in that force who was really loyal felt geeply insulted and is looking for his re- verge. “The espionage exercised by the Spanish officials in Porto Rico is carried on under a perfect system. The officials have pam- phlets containing the names of every man of any consequence in the island, who has ever been reported as subject to suspicion. After his name {is a_ statement showing why he Is suspected. It may be he has re- ceived letters from the United States or has been heard to make a suspicious re- mark or has failed to shout ‘Long Live Spain’ on some occasion when there was a patriotic demonstration. Such men are watched and in the past such suspicion was enough to call out persecution against them. Effect of Autonomy. “Now that Spain has granted autonomy there is no doubt she has gained friends among a few of the people who fear that if the fsland is taken by the United States all officials and public officers will be Americans as they were Spaniards before autonomy was granted. This makes those who hold government positions in Porto Rico friendly to the present form of gov- ernment. They draw good salaries and do very little work, and it suits them very well. These men know they can hold places in future if they hold them at ail cnly by working if the Americans take the island, and they are not pleased with the cutlook. “But I predict it will be found that Porto Ricans as a p2ople will welcome interven- tion by the United States and will be g.ad to have the country annexed by the big repubtic.”” a CAPITAL STOCK F1X City and Suburban Company Divides $1,750,000 Into 35,000 Shares. A meeting of the stockholders of the City and Suburban street railroad, form- erly the Eckington, was held today at the office of the company in thi city. The purpose of the meeting, as al- ready stated in The Star, was to perfect certain details so that the legal assumption by the company of the rights and powers cenferred by the recent act of Congr might be perfected. A resolution adopted fixing the capital stock at $1, 000, divided into 35,000 shares, of the par tue of $50 per share. The amount of stock of the Eckington road was shares, of the par value of $50 per and it is the intention to exc r stock for the old, dollar for dollar. The balance of the issue will be used in taking up the stock of the two companies which have been purchased. At a former meeting It was decided to make the bond issue $1,750,000, ind it is estimated that this amount will be suMf- cient to take up the present bonded in- debtedness of all the roads, pay off the other indebtedness and leave over q mil- lion of dollars to provide for the proposed improvements, which include, as required by the new charter of the company, the equipping of the city portion of tne road with the underground electric system and the section outside the city simits with the overhead electric. A resolution was adopted today appoint- ing a committee to examine into the finan- cial condition of the company, to take count of the property of the company and to report at a meeting of the stockhold- ers, which will be held the 25th of August. The committee consists of N. P. Bond, O. T. Crosby ard George Truesdeil. It is now possible to place on record the deeds of the various railroad properties recently acquired by the coinpany, and it is expected that this will be done in the course of the next few days. An applica- ticn is to be made to the court for the discharge of the receiver, and it is not an- ticipated that there will be any delay in this particular. A date will be announced when ell bids for furnishing supplies to be used in the equipment of the road and for doing the work must be in, and it is thought that within the next thirty days it may be pos- sible to begin actual operations which will result, it is believed, in supplying this road with a modern motive pow ——— UPON A BENCH WARRANT. John Hall Answers for His Part in an Alley Row. John E. Hall, colored, who was indicted by the grand jury for ault, and for whose arrest a bench warrant was issued, was brought into Criminal Court No. 1 this afternoon and pleaded not guilty. He was committed to jail to await trial. Hall was engaged in the lively row alleged to have occurred in Government alley some time ago following a parlor social and the con- sumption of several water buckets of beer at the house of Charlotte Davis. A colored man, Robert Lee Taylor, was arrested and tried for assault upon Hall with intent to kill. trial ced Justic As the advai agner soon saw that Hall w © guilt: ‘aylor, and that there was a disgraceful fight in the g in which both men and women took part.

This was accepted by the United States attorney, and Adams was sentenced to two months in jail. ——— RECEIVER ASKED FOR. Nathaniel McKay Files Additional Plea in Pending Suit. Nathaniel McKay, who entered suit for injunction against Thomas Girvan and Wm. M. Ducker, seeking to restrain the collection of money due the parties con- cerned from the United States government, this afternoon filed an amended bill, asking that a receiver be appointed by the court to take charge of the money in question. In the original bill it was set forth that the pla! .f, McKay, and the defandants, Girvan and Ducker, entered into a part- cership to construct for the government a number of Ducker patent portable hos- pitals. McKay was to iurnish the money and receive in-return one-third the profits of the concern. In his bill he alleged that the defendants had wrongfully obtained possession of certain warrants issued by the government, and he believed they were about to 2efraud him of his share. In tis amendment McKay declares that by reason of the acts of the defendants he fears irreparable damage financially, he having largely invested in the concern, ard there being due from the United Siates gov- ernment on account of contract between $10,000 and_ $11,000. In order that the affairs of the partnership may be closed and accounts settled under the protection of the court a receiver is asked for the purpose of receiving from the government the money due. An accounting is also asked. —— NAVAL ORDERS. Lieut. W. L. R. Emmet has been detach- ed from the bureau of equipment and or. Gered to the New York navy yard. The commission of Ensign George W.
