Concerted Movement the Outcome o the Recent Strike by Mechanics. San Juan de Porto Pico, Apiil 0 ? At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the natives made a concentrated movement at Porto Tiera. Different mobs, aggregating about 2,000 meD, attacked the foreign colored man. Any English speaking negro was subject to attack, particularly by the natives of St. Thomas and St. Kitts. One Porto Itican was killed, one was seriously injured and three negroes of St. Kitts we:e dangerously wounded. The affair was the outcome of the pier strike and the pretense of the attack, apparently, was thatt'ceEnglisk i.-landera were usurping Porto Rico labor. The islanders anticipated trouble and some of t'eem were armed with revolvers. The mob entered the house of a St. Kitt9 maD, his abdomen was slashed with a machete. Another St. Kitts man was stoued, escaped to the roof and was forced to jump to the ground. He was folio wed in the street and was stoned until exhausted when his head was hammered into a jelly. A company of infantry under Captaiu Alexander and Lieutenants Ausell and Parker was called out, martial law was declared, soldiers now parade the streets and the rum shops were closed. The mere presence of the soldiers dispersed the crowds. There were no demonstrations after the arrival of the troops. Th* condition of affairs necessities the presence of troops indefinitely in order to prevent more trouble. The municipal police are utterly inadtquate to preserve order or handle any crowd. They stood by during the riot, as spectators and made no attempt to interfero. The Porto Tiera district of San Juan is about a mile from the city hall. I: i3 understood that the British consul has demanded protection for British subjects although the authorities here will not make any statement on the subject. ? - Remedy for Pneumonia. A correspondent of the New York Sua offers the following prescription for pneumonia: Take six to ten onions, according to size and chop fine, put in a large spider over a hot fire; then add about the same quantity of rye meal, and vinegar enough to make a thick paste. In the meanwhile, stir it thoroughly, letting it simmer five or ten minutes. Then put in a bag large enough to cover the lungs, and apply it to the chest as hot as you can bear it. When it gets cool apply another, and thus continue by reheating the poultices. In a few hours the patient will be out of danger. TLis simple remedy has never failed in this too often fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient; but continue always until perspiration starts freely from the chfet. 1ti9 simple remedy was formulated many years ago by one of the best pLysiciaDS New England has ever known, who never lost a patient by this disease, and wen his renown by saving persons by simple reme dies after the best medical talent bad proem need - heir case hope-less. Personally we know of three persons who were saved by the remedy last winter in Boston after their physicians had given them up to die, and if a record was made of all similar c?ces during the last six years it would fiii a good sized volume.
