(Correspondence of Aaslcluted Press)
Hun Juu.i Do Porto Rko, Nov.. .-—It la
raid hero in San Juan tnftt Porto Rico
needs new leaders —that the men of to-
dya are not lit, because of the rankling
distentions of the past which eannot be
forgotten, to lead the Island to a brilliant
future that awaits it. In this respect the
following letter, freely translated from
t.ie Correspondent'!:!., is Interesting:
"The weight of four centuries of error
has torn the I ponish uag from Porte
Rico.
"The passionate and uncontroilsblo
Spanish government that during Its away
succeeded in poison ng all local organiza-
tions of administration l'as also succeed
ed by reason of the inevltnbe Influence of
constitutional power, in kUHng tho faith
of the people. It has awakened and kept
alive feelings of deep haired in the hearts
of our public leader* it Is impossible for
these men to shako . the clinging In-
fluence of colonial ideas breathed by men
iu the past. #
"The Spanish government in Porto Rico
is dead; but as a logical consequence of
four centuries of po..tical inusrule, wo
have made a mournful Inheritance-:.

"Our local politics were a reflection of
those of Spain, the practice Ol the ex-

in the hearts of a people who realize
their humiliating position. The governing
centers of the colony were like mercan-
tile offices; In euch everything had Its
price.
"This state of affuirs gave birth to the
first contention. On one side stood those
who were being robbed: on the other the
ones who robbed us. There arose rank-
ling hatreds, followed by the determined
perscutlon of thos among us who vainly
called for justice.
POLITICAL IDEA 1.8.
"This situation Is the keynote to our
Insular position today. Political ideas and
Ideals were list under tue sower of person

Porto Rlco is confronted today, not by must be :
questions of reforms, but by a necessity | They are
for creation, and this is the most solemn
and Important moment In our island's
history. Our land la wearied by futile
strife: it needs guiding hands and minds

It. But hands that will not be raised In
vengeance for past wrongs, minds that

mil not upon the sifting sands of pas-
aio nand hatred, we must have new lead-
ers. New leaders and new blood. Men
who are without rancor; men who do not
regret the death ot Spanish supremacy;
men who do not s. .1 hearken to the
echoes of recent strife, whose minds do
not brood upon past wrongs ad decept-
ion, and whose hearts are not full of the
cruel semes and acts of recent days.
