SAN JUAN, P. R, May 28.—Today, when the full report of the Delima case was pub- lished here, there was evidenced a general feellng of disappointment among Porto Rican merchants, who had hoped that the court's declslon would give them a year's free (rade. Porto Ricans are reluctant to belleve that todav's full report is true The concensus of opinion of the matter seems to be that the Porto Rican legisla- re should be convened In extra session to declare Porto Rica self-supporting without the colleetion of customs on imports be- tween Porto Rico and the United Siates A general spirit ¢. complaint that all the supreme court's deelgions were agalnst Porto Rico is noticeable When San Juan merchants were questioned on the subject they manifested much regret at the out- come, as they had hoped of a refunding of all the moueys paid under the 15 per cent application ot the Dingley duties. It was generally expected that the court's cislons would grant Porto Rico free trade and Its citizens full citizenship and consti- tuttonal privileges. When told that if Tatter privilege hud been granted the in- ternal revenuc laws of the United States would be applied to the island and that all funds and customs thereunder collected Porto Rlcans questioned in the matter ac Linowledged ihat this would be bad, and that thelr presen. status was preferable, % they did noi beiieve thac the island would stand the collection of the United States interna! revenue, and that such col- lections, if attempted, would necessitate an even heavier nroperty tax for the main- tenanco of Porto Rico.

By the provision of section % of (be Foraker Wl free trade becomes operative whenever tbe Porto Rican legislature passes solution an adequate system of insular taxation has been put into operation and President Me- Kinley, upon notification of this resolution is to proclaim free trade for Porto Rico. If the plan now in contemplation ie carried out, Governor Allen w nvene the legis- lature solely for the purpose of passing this resolution. This action will probably be taken July 25, at which time the Hollender bill will have been in operation for nearly one month, and it s probable that free trade will be declared i November.

Largo quantities of both the Rawlins and Tron Mountain stone bave been used here in building and the Iron Mountain has stood 2 better test than the Rawlins etone. The latter, which fs not white, but a light gray, has been found to chip, while the Iron Mountain stone is almost pure white and does not chip or decompose easily. There is an unlimited supply of stone at Iron mountain, which i8 in the northern part of this county on the line of the Cheyenne & Northern railroad, and it is understood that it can be quarried easily. A force of men is now at work there getting out stone for the Masonic temple, Carnegie library and other bulldings, and if the Bovernment selects this stone a new piant of machinery will probably be put in and the facilities of the quarry increased.

Dr. Sample offered resolutions appointing this permanent com- m'ttee with a salaried corresponding secro- tary.
