RESULT OF THE TRANSFER Question of the Citizenship of the Porto Ricans Involved. What the United States Has Done in the Cage of Other Acquired Territory. Written fer The Evening Star, The recent formal transfer of the sov- ereignty of the Island of Porto Rico to the United States gives interest to the question of the legal status of the people of the Island. The status of the inhabitants of territory acquited by conquest or cession is gener- ally tixed by the terms of the treaty of ion. The general principle is that, un- the treaty of cession provides other- the allegiance of the inhabitants of the territory ceded is transferred with the territo This somewhat harsh rule is almost invariably in modern times modi- fied by a provision in the treaty of cession ailowing the inkabitants to retain their former nationality, If so minded, upon com- pita: with certain snecified ' cenditions. In former times the inhabitants of con- d territory were required, in order to 1 their former nationality, to remove d dispose of 1 territory u n within a ‘fixed real property, generally if fi to comply with these tion were deemed to be sub- eror.

It was further provided that all persons who should con- tinue there after the expiration of the said ar, without having declared their inten- tion of remaining British subjects, should be considered as having elected to become citizens of the United States.

In the treaty of 1803, under which Louisi- ana cquired from France, it was stipulated that the inhabitants of the ceded territory should be incorporated in the Union of the United States and admitted as soon as possible, according to the principle: of the federal Constitution, to the enjoy ment of all the rights, advantages and im: of citizens of the United States at in the meantime they should be ytected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property and religion The treaty of 1819, with Spain, ceding Fiorida to the United States, contained a provision permitting those who desired to remove to Spanish dominions to sell or ex- Port their effects.

From the Philadelphia Record. Philadelphia may not be able to boast the tallest buildings in the world, but she surely her e of the narrowest. On the corner of ( stnut and American street is located a building that at first glance woull seem to reflect seriously on the sanity of the projector, but the multitude of prosperous tenants form a monument to the finarcial shrewdness of the owners. From outside to outside of the walls the structure is exactly five feet wide. It is t deep, and there are four stories. ‘Y room in it is occupied by a shop of seme kind or by familles, who seem to be contented with their lot. The walls are over one foot thick, and this leaves less than one yard for the Inside space. There- fore, it is a physical impossibility for thé teftants to occupy a full-sized bed. If they desire to sleep it must be on a cot, and the sleeper exterds his body from north to south. Among the numerous industries in this contracted building are a tailor shop, a staurant, a printing office, a sign painting establishment a cigar store. Another narrow building is at Market and Letitia streets. It is five stories high and six nd three inches wide. In {ts or inal state this building was six feet wit than at pre nt, but a city improvement cut it down to the present size. ——_—__+e+- Sauirreln Fed the Sheep. From the Lewiston Journal. A Bar Harbor gentleman tells this story of how’ the squirrels on White Island often spend their time In feeding a flock of sheep from a certain orchard there. He says that he and his companion, who were duck shooting there last fall, had stopped to rest in an old field in which there was an orchard. A flock of sheep was feeding near by. It was not long before their attention was called to the chirruping of some squir- rels in a thicket, and they were surprised to see the sheep suddenly Stop feeding and manifest great excitement. ‘The squirrels went into the orchard, and climbing on to one of the trees resumed their loud chatter, evidently calling the sheep, since the flock made at once for the apple tree. Then the squirrels begen to bite off the apples,which fell among the hungry sheep, who would struggle for the fruit like so many school boys. The squirrels seemed to enjoy the fun, and after they had dropped a few apples from the first tree they skipped to a distant tree, for which the sheep grould make in great’con- fusion. ‘After the squirrels had thus enjoyed an hour’s fun with their fleecy neighbors and supplied them with a sufficient quantity of the fruit, they scampered back to their haunts in the thicket, leaving the sheep to resume their grazing.

Frem the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It is a little odd how nicknames become sttached to base ball teams and stick for ars, though the original causes for the gnment of the names may have 59 completely vanished as to be beyond the memory of any but the oldest devot of the game. Many of the names in use are weil and aptly applied, while others are without wit or point. The Chicago team was for years known the Colts because of the displacement of the veteran members of the team by youngsters. In the $0s, when the Chicagos successful under “Pop” Anson,"‘Sil- int, John Clarkson, Corcoran, Fred Tom Burns (the team’s present manager), Ned Williamson, George Gore, Mike Kelly et al. constituted the team. They were all veterans, and by degrees vere ousted and younger men put in to fill their positions. Pfeffer remained until 1894, when he, too, was released, and later sign- ed with Louisville before” completing his career in the big league. Anson remained in his position as manager, captain and first baseman until the close of last season, on President Hart let him go, and Led Tom Burns to fill the position. Burns has done much better work with the ‘Windy City” team than Anson did for the latter years he was in harness, and the Chicago “fans” are well satisfied with the change, which locked extremely hazar- dous when it was made. When Burns got in control he petitioned the cranks for a ame, and that of “Orphans,” : op" Anson, thought to be the most appropriate, and was selected. The New York team is best known in se ball circles as the “Giants.” This as given them when Gore, Ewing, Ke “Big Bil” Brown, Gillespie, Der- gan, Esterbrook and other tall players were members of the team, and a'so be- 2 they were big In a base ball sense. gan for years was, “We are the and when the real glants com- prised the team, they made their slogan good. The Washington team has always borne the name of "Senators" on account of the represent being the capital of the The team has never been known any other name, and most probably never will be, as it exists in a lazy, Larm- less way, rmever cutting enough figure in the game to awaken the interest of those active in reeking new appellations. The Philadelphia team has never had any name save that of “Phillies” or “Quakers.” The first name was allotted them on account of the abbreviation of the me of the city they represent, and the ccend on account of Quakers being the AMES, as fe, original inhabitants of the Pennsylvania city. The St. Louis team has always been called the Browns, a name given them when it made its entree in the base ball world, on account of the color of the stockings wern by its players. Since the team has been on the incline it has been known at different times as "Misfits," “Rough Riders,” Hurst's ‘‘Hoo-doos,”” ‘Hurst's oboes” and a number of other not par- ularly pleasing titles. Everything and everybody is a Colonel in Louisville. The city’s base ball team is no exception to the rule, and ever since it has been represented in the old associa- tion and present league it has been called the “Colonels.” Sporting writers of the Kentucky city have tried at different times to give the team some other title, but the name of “Colonels has been a hard one to displace and sticks to the team this sea- son as of yore. Pittsburg Pirates. ‘The Pittsburg team were saddled with the nickname of “Pirates” in 1890, when J. Palmer O'Neill, president of the club at the time, stole ‘“‘Loofe” Bierbauer from the Athletic (American Association) team, and secured the services of over fifty players, restraining them from playing elsewhere. This action on O'Neill's part precipitated the League-Association fight, and induced other players to ‘jump’ the association, ‘which died the following year. The same year Mark Baldwin, as the emissary of the Pittsburg club, visited St. Louis and signed “Silver” King and Jack O'Connor. This. led to his arrest by Von der Ahe, and upon being released from jail he began suit against Von der Ahe for damages. The suit hung fire in the Pittsburg courts for years, but within the last six months has been decided in Baldwin's favor. It was in eonnection with this affair Chris was kid-' napped lust winter. ‘Phe team has “been: called the “Patriots” by Pittsburg sporting writers this year in order to escape the odium of their nickname, but the new name has failed to make an émpression. t The Cleveland team was for years dubbed all over the base bal! map as the “Spiders” on account of the, yrusual number of long and lean players op the team. Jay Faatz and other elongated players were member: of the team then, and the sobriquet was well given. When “Fire Water’ Sockalexis left Holy Cross. Celege, where he had made fame as a base ball player and sign- ed with Tebeau, the Cleveland — scribes dubbed their team the “Indians.” Since their games have been transferred to for- eign soil on account of lack of attendance at games played in tke forest city, the team has most often been referred to as “Wanderers,” “Tourists,” or “Tramps. The Cincinnati team has for years been known as the “‘Reds,”’ a sobriquet fastened on them many seasons ago on account of the color of their hose. They are also known as “Quitters,” for not being able to stand the pace, leading the field season after season for about two-thirds of the route and collapsing at the end like a punctured balloon. They have remained in the van longer than ever this season, and at present have about an equal chance with Boston and Baltimore for championship honors. The ‘Reds’ are referred to in cer- taln quarters as “Buck's Braves," since Ewing, whose nickname is “Buck,” became their manager. 2 Brooklyn Bridegrooms. The sobriquet of “Bridegrooms” has been allied with the Brooklyn team for years. They earned the title by the marriage of half a dozen or more members of the team during a very brief space of time. When the trolley car system was first introduced in Brooklyn fatalities were daily, if not hourly, occurrences, and the team is often referred to by the more humorous scribes as “Trolley Dodgers.” It has always been the “Reds” and “Beaneaters” with the Boston team. When the club first entered the National League the color of red was assigned to it for the trimming of its uniform and_ stockings. They were at once dubbed the ‘‘Reds,” and the title has stuck to them ever since. They are equally as well known as the “Beaneaters,” given them for the alleged fondness of Bostonians for baked beans. They go by the name of Champions this season, for winning the pennant from the Baltimores last season, and later defeating them in the series for the Temple cup. The Baltimore team is most often re- ferred to as “Orioles” and “Birdies,” two names they fell heir to on account of Bal- timore being the home of the orlole. By winning the league pennant three times in succession, in 184, 1895 and 1896, they were dulbed the ‘Three Timers.” = —s00_ THE PANIC AT CANEY. An Eye-Witness Recites His Expert- ences After the Fight. From Leslie's Weekly. Tha scenes and actions in Caney aftcr the battle are in a measure explained by the impression that, following the taking of the town, the invading force would loot, commit murder and rapine.. Immediately after occupatiom of the hill upon which the fort is situat*d by our forces, the fren- zied inhabitants/began rushing up the hill to make peace with’ the victors. I went down into the towh_ with a sergeant ard eight men, with, ingtructions from Capt. Allen of the cavalry to turnout ull the Spanish soldiers I cbuld find and break up their arms and s$nd'the soldiers up to the fort. General orders had been issued forbidding any one except this'small guard to enter the town, as there was thought to be a great amount of, fever, and also becaus> it was still occupied by the defeated Span- {ards under arms. As we went down the trail across the river we met a procession such as I never expect to see again. Hys- terical women, with the frigat of the whole long day} children of all sizes screaming with terror and clutching their mothers’ skirts for protection from men who had killed their fathers or brothers, as far as they knew, without cause. Some little ones, with eyes wide open in mute wonderment of it all; men of all classes; soldiers who walked defiantly with no ex- use, while others declared they were forc- ed into the Spanish ranks. One poor, frightened woman of about fifty years, was carrying another, evidently her mother—a woman-who must have been~ eighty or more. Sh2 was in her night clothes, having just been taken helploss) from her bed. The younger woman was carrying, or really ‘dragging, her by hold- ing ‘her on her-back, having-the arms over othe taller, andher bare feet dragged upon the jagged rocks in the path while she moaned and cried incoherently. These peopl: were not of the poorer class, but evidently well to do.
