best kept and cleanest city have seen
in any Spanish country. 1t has not the
wealth or the grandeur of Havana, but
it is in much better order. The streets
are broader than in the old parts of Ha-
vana, there is a good system of sewer
age and plenty of lights, both gas and
electric. There are good broad sidewalks
and we'll paved roadways. The houses
are mostly of brick or stone, cemented
ON the outside, and this cement is kept
in good repair and we'll painted or
whitewashed. Rainwater is used ex-
clusively. caught from the roofs and
stored in stone tanks. This is the graz
city Of Puerto Rico. and the Puerto Ri
cans are justly proud of it, rarely cali
ing it by its name, but speaking OF it
always as "the city" or Eel capital. "
In San Juan and Puerto Rico gener-
ally one finds climate where the Their
mometer never falls below 80 degrees
and seldom rises above so. Owing to its
favorable position hurricanes do not
disturb Puerto Rico; earthquakes are
unknown here; snakes and other venom
Gus creatures are as scarce as in Ireland,
and there are plenty of places in the
highlands where yellow fever and kin
dred diseases cannot come. Though
Puerto Rico is populated to the number
of 500, 000-mainly by an educated class
OF Spaniards, with mixture Of creoles.
Germans. French, Danes, Swedes and
Russians, and a modioum Of Chinese,

general, appointed by the Spanish Crown
to govern the island, and his assistants

also crown appointees. The captain gen.

The street in which the American con.
sui lived before his withdrawal-one Of
the principal thoroughfares-is not
passable at all for vehicles nor for
horsemen after dark, and to walk
through it at any time is almost at the
risk of ones neck. Most of the streets
are lined with cement sidewalks from
10 to 10 inches wide, but some of them
have no sidewalks, and pedestrians are
obliged to take the road, where naked
children are always playing in the
streams of offensive water that percolate
through the broken stones. 1t is no
wonder that this city has the reputation
of being the most unhealthy place in
Cuba. Hemmed in by mountains, with
all this filth &c tering in the sun, the

these almost perpendicular alleys are
sometimes filled with torrents of such
impetuosity that no one can cross them
ON foot, and even horsemen hesitate to
climb them. The city might easily
have an inexhaustible supply of pure
cold water il only there were sufficient
enterprise among the citizens to cause
it to be brought in pipes from the neigh
boring heights. But Santiago remains
wretchedly deficient in this respect,
though there is much suffering and i'll

THE PORT OF MATANZAS.

Its Forts Were Recently Reduced by the
United States Fleet.
Fifty-two miles east of Havana, at the
mouth of the San Juan river, lies the
seaport city Matanzas. whose fortifica-
lions were SO rudely battered by three
ships of Admiral Sampson blockading
feet short time ago. The harbor is
spacious, easy of access and well shell
tered except TO the northeast, from
which quarter heavy swell sometimes
rolls in. The surrounding country COM
prises the rinhest part of the island,
being covered with magnificent sugar
estates. The climate though hot is salu-
brious. Matanzas is situated ON a fat

SAN JUAN IN PUERTO RICO.
It Is the Principal City of the Island and
Is Well Defended.

IL IL the Principal City OF the Island and
Is Well Defended.
Favored in some respects above all
other islands of the Greater Antilles is
Puerto Rico. the smallest and most
easterly of the group. 1t is separated
from Santo Domingo on the west BY the
Mona passage. in which lies the island
of Mona, and from the Virgin islands
ON the east by the Virgin passage. in
which are Vieoue and Culebra islands.
In shape the island is nearly a rectan-
gle, the length Of which east and west
is 90 miles aud the breadth north aud
south about 36 miles. 1t lies wholly
within the tropics, and its area, inclId-
ing its dependencies. the three islands
named, is 8, $50 square miles. Its coasts
are generally regular. but there are
many bays and inlets, and the north
coast contains many navigahle lagoons.
While the capital, Ponce, is the lar
gest city of the island. San Juan is
the principal seaport, aud a special in
terest attaches to this celebrated barbor
today in the desire of Spain TO hold it
and of the United States TO obtain il as
a base of naval supplies, for it is the
gateway into Puerto Rico.
As seen from the sea San Juan con-
sists almost entirely Of series of mass.

ton is now exclusively devoted to the

appropriation bill. The four monitors,
for which appropriation was made, will
be the frs, of the large type built. and
the plans have so far advanced that IA
circular will be issued shortly. asking
bidders to submit proposals for under
taking the work.
The plans provide for the most formi-
dable turret monitors of their displace-
ment aiioat. The limit of cost of each
fixed by the bill prevents the double
turret system being introduced. and
the new fighters will have but one tur-
ret. placed forward. but in addition to
this battery power they will DE pro-
vided with number of finch rapid
fire guns and an effective secondary
battery. Their displacement will not
exceed 300 tons or draft OF ii feet.
which will admit Of any of these vessels
entering the shallowest channels OF the
larger cities along the seabOard.
Water tube boilers generating 300
horsepower are expected to give the

pressure and perhaps a knot better
when under forced draft. Twin screws

Samuel M Jackson and Charles Nc
Kee, on March %, 1898. unlawfully to

state treasurers OF those named

with unlawfully loaning $10o, COO of state
money, which, it is alleged, went to
Richard r. Quay, and also with receiv-
ing pecuniary benefit from the deposit
of state money in. the Peoples bank.
M. S. Quay, with his son, Richard r.
Quay, arrived here from San Lucie,
Fla, today, to which place they went
over a week ago. They declined to
discuss the indictments found against
them. They were for some time clos

cashier of the Peoples bank, for the
unlawful use of the moneys of the
bank in the purchase of stock, and
conspiracy with Hopkins in the misuse
of state funds on deposit in the Peo-
pies bank Hopkins committed suicide
by shooting in March last.
Subsequent to the presentation of
the indictments, District Attorney Gra-
ham appeared in court and asked for
permission to withdraw the attachment
obtained for the appearance before the
grand jury of Cashier William Mont
gomery Of the Allegheny National bank
of Pittsburg, and Cashier Stephen B.
Stone of the Beaver Deposit bank of
Beaver, Pa. The district attorney stated
that he had desired to present to the
grand jury. through the two cashiers
named, certain evidence in the suit
against Senator Quay and others, but
as this matter had now passed out of
the hands of the grand jury, their
presence would not be needed until the
case was brought to trial. He inti-
mated that he would then demand
their appearance as witnesses, and
would also insist upon the production
of certain books and papers Of those
banks. The court granted the district
attorneys request, and the attach
ments for the cashiers were ordered
Cancelled.
The true bills returned by the grand
jury are five in number. The first
charges NJ. S. Quay with conspiring
with John s. Hopkins for the unlaw-
full use of the money of the Peoples

stocks of various corporations for the
account, benefit and profit of M. S.
Quay.
