PORTO RICO. (Population (1910), 1,118,012.) LUIS MUÑOZ RIVERA, Unionist, of San Juan, was born in the town of Barranquitas July 17, 1859, and educated in the public schools. Early in life he engaged in cigar manufacturing and general business. At the age of 20 his writings were already published by the most progressive papers of the country. At 30 he founded La Democracia, a daily newspaper in Ponce, for the purpose of opposing the Spanish colonial régime. This paper is still published by him in San Juan. From 1887 to 1897 he was constantly subjected to persecutions by the Government, because of his patriotic activities. In 1896 he was sent to Madrid as a special representative of his party, for the purpose of consummating an agreement with the Liberal Party of Spain for the establishment of home rule for Porto Rico. He founded the Liberal Party in 1897. During this year Queen Maria Christina decreed an ample system of selfgovernment for the island, and he was appointed secretary of state, and subsequently president of the cabinet. When American sovereignty was declared in 1898 he was serving in this latter capacity. He then presented his resignation to Gen. Brooke, military governor, who declined to accept it, and he continued in the cabinet until 1899, when that system of self-government was changed by Gen. Henry, who succeeded Gen. Brooke. Then he came for the first time to Washington as the representative of his party and of the farming interests of the islands, in order to procure free-trade relations between the United States and Porto Rico. Returning to Porto Rico in 1900, he organized the Federal Party. One year later he came to New York and established the Puerto Rico Herald, which paper was published in that city for a period of four years. At the dissolution of the Federal Party in 1904 he organized the Unionist Party, of which he is still the leader. Three times he was chosen to the lower house of the Legislature in Porto Rico. In 1910 he was elected Resident Commissioner to Washington by about 105,000 votes, as against about 58,000 for his opponent. Mr. Rivera is married and has one son, who is studying in Georgetown College. |
