acoa speaks OF Puerto Rico ms piece of Spain,
so rich in times gone By, but never to return,
and to-day so poor that it is threatened by inn
minent ruin The wealth which the island en-
ioyed u few years ago was the wealth of a gam
bier and has disappeared gamblers gains
usually do. The Spanish government was
taught by it to believe that the island could pay
any amount of taxes and contributions and
could support u whole army of soldiers and
employees from the Peninsula, but the taxes
were not employed in making roads public
works beneficial to the Province. Then came
the bad years, the hurricanes. the emancipation
of the slaves, the sugar cane disease, and the
fall in prices from the beet root competition in
Europe and the extensive cultivation of sugar
in all sugar-growing countries. Engagements
were no longer kept, credit little by little was
withdrawn and failures have been abundant.
Ten years ago there were 553 sugar plantations
and 60 coffee estates; to-day there are 1856
plantations and estates in all. In 1872 the
price of sugar averaged So per quintal, to-day
it averages $3. Most Of the richest planters Of
"a few years ago are to-day involved in difficult
ties."l

LONDON, Nov. 3, 1879.
The Porte has decided to carry out promptly
all the reforms which it considers necessary in
Asia, as well as those to which it is bound by
treaty stipulations. 1t is to be remarked that
an Austrian squadron is expected to arrive at
Salonica in few days. The Standards Vienna
despatch says it is expected that pressure will
be put by England on the Porte to bring about
another change in the Cabinet. [Mahmud
Nedim Pasha has always been regarded as the
stoutest and most thorough going advocate Of q
Russian alliance at the Ottoman Court. He is
credited with having been mainly instrumental
in bringing about the disturbances in Bulgaria
which led to the late war. AS Minister Of the
Interior his antagonism to England causes much
misgiving.] The Times Constantinople de-
spatch says, owing to the want of money and
the soldiers, &C., clamoring for pay, catas-
trophe must ensue. Some think it will take the
form of foreign intervention; others fear
disorders i'll the capital or provinces.
The Ieleg'uph's Vienna correspondent re-
ports that news has been received from Con-
stantinople of fresh differences between
Sir Austen Layard, the British Ambassador,
and M. Fournier, the French Ambassador
There has been some talk of replacing the
latter.
SIR HENRY LAYARD.s DEMANDs-EsTABLlsH-
MENT OF AN AUTONOMOUS ARMENIAN STATE
IN ASIA MINOR.
The British Foreign Office has iss ued correspond
respecting the condition of the population Of
Asia Minor and Syria. II comprises seventy mine
dispatches. Sir Henry LayaNi. writing to the Mar
qus Of Salisbury, says he has several occasions
brought to His Lordship's notice that an at
tempt being made to create armenia"
in Asiatic Turkey which Europe or Russia was
to form into autonomous province. and ulti-
mately into independent State. Sir Henry
Layard proceeds:-'I have warned the Porte over
and again that unless it speedily introduced
the reforms to which it has pledged itself in the
Asiatic dominions Of the Sultan. and assure the
protection and the just and equal government
of the populations the question of an Armenian
nationality. and even of other nationalities, may
be raised Which Will probably end in further dimn-
shing the authority and territory Of His Majesty.
Consul General Wilson gives a description of the
state of affairs in Anatolia. Mr.. Wilson specially
urges the formation OF disciplined corps Of gen.
darmerie in the province. The state OF the courts Of
justice, he says. leaves much to be desired. The
councils. though in theory elected by the people.
really nominated by the local government or the
seats in them sold. Bribery and corruption are
the rule, and retention in escape from prison is
frequently matter of bribery. The most urgent
reform needed by the people, however. is relief from
the mercess robbery of collectors aud the grasp
ing avarice of money lenders.
