With the evacuation BIZ the military
of San Juan, and adjacent islands,
serious, troubles are appreliended by
the settlers. 1T Is well known that
these Islands contain some offfe finest
agricultural lands on tbesnpper coast,
parts Of which have been for years
held, occupied and cultivated BY thrift
ty settlers. Owing to the anomalous
status Of these Islands. no legal steps
could be taken to perfect title to any
of the same, consequently the tenure
BY which these lautls. are held BY the
sluatters, Is very frail and slender.
and we are Informed that numerous
land grabbers are ready to pounce mp
on and appropriate to themselves the
fields and homes Of these men, who
for years have industrioItsly pursued
their humble bnt honest calling under
all the adverse circumstances Induced
BY military rule, aud unprotected BY
the civil arm ofour Government. SO
