Sr. Director de LA CORRESPONDENCE.
Una nueva y muy gallarda muestra de su
poder pujanza ACADIA de dar este pats tan cas-.
tlgado por continues y graves desventuras. Ell
emprestito de 100000 obligaciones emitidas
Por el gobierno, con la garantfa de las aduanas
de Fihpinas, cuyo importe Sc destina fntegra-
mente satisfacer los gastos ocasionados por
la guerra en- aquellas islas, SO ha cubierto por
lmpontntes espafloles muy cerca de cnco veces
media. Este nuevo triunfo obtenido por eli
credito de la naci6n, llena de jdbilo los bue-
nos espafoles, dice mucho mas de todo Guam.
to decirse pudiera contra los fatfdicos ~augurios
con que muchos pretenden presentar la Ha'
clenda espaiola como pr6xima q una tremenda
9 inevitable bancarrota. Puede ell gobierno
estar satisfecho hasta orgulloso de su obra, y
pueden los enemigos de Espafa convencerse
una vez mas de que este pals cuenta con fuerzas
energfas sufoientes para salvar todos, absolu-
tameate todos los obstaculos que SO opongan
su marcha normal progressive. No importa
que los periodicos de oposici6n, para hacer daflo
al goblerno, Sc afanen por guitar importancia
al exlto alcanzado en- esta qua todos parecfa
operaclon peligrosa y aventurada: la fuerza
misma del hecho SO impone con tai pesadumbre,
que no habra dentro de POGO quien pueda resis-
tyr q la abrumadora elocuencia Ia infexible

de una Dacion puede apreciarse exactamente
por SD eervicio de commissioners.
Volviendo al case concrete deque nos ocu-
pamos, diremos q. nadie Sc ha explicado la raz6n
para adelantar Ii salida del correo, mucho
menos que, para salir ..as cuatro media de
la tarde, recogiese Ia correspondence las IL
de la maflana. Cinco horas perdidas tontamen-
te, sin poder calcular los perjuicios ooasionados
con tan incorrecto proceder. Las cartas que
trajo ell correo frances ell por la ma6ana Sc
repartieron q las once media, y nadie pudo
contestar nj una de elias siquiera por ell vapor
espanol que sali6 por la tarde del mismo
dia.
La Companfa Trasatlantica espahola, es
una empresa particular que goza de lleno todas

Puerto Rico paga & la Compaiifa Trasat'

anuales por el servicio postal, y ademas paga
ell franqueo por la tasa Official, por cierto mas
cara que la fjada por ningun otro pats de los
que forman la union postal: luego, tiene indis-
cutible derecho que sc la atienda como es
debido.
Lo que dejamos dicho serA igual que arar

William Owen and his company ap
peared at the Opera House, Houghton,
for the first time last evening when
Shakespeare comedy Merchant OF Ven
ice" was presen ed. The audience was
not as large the abili y OF the several
actors wee entitled 70, hut those present
spent an evening Of rare enjoyment.
Owen is a good Shylock, but this charac-
ter does not show Mr.. Ovens ability to
it's best advantage. j. W. Mcconnell, the
Merchant OF Venice" was particularly
good as was j. r. Armory's Launcelot.
The ladies OF the cast have their parts
we'll in hand, Miss Baker making an ex-
celent Portia, but like Owen their ability
could not be brought out to it's best 10
this play. The company is composed OF
good actors, not one member OF the cast
failing to carry his or her part well. Mr..
Owen is to be congratulated in getting
30 go I'd a company together. Tonight
Hamlet" will be played ana tomorrow
"Othello," when it is to be hoped the at
tendance will be larger. 1t has been q
long time since any OF Shakespeare's plays
were presented in this district in so able
a manner.
