PORTO RICO.

As General Brooks will now in
wade Porto Rico and take it in
the name of the United States, it
is we'll enough to know something
about it. Mr.. Edwin Emerson,
Jr., a young American who crossed
Porto Rico after the Intellectual
bombardment Of the San Juan
batteries on May II, has returned
to this country and published his
impressions of the island. In
view of it's probable destiny, it is
interesting to learn from bis ac-
count that Puerto Rico, or "rick
porth," has a better and healthier
climate than Cuba. There are no
swamps or Businesses favorable to
guerrilla warfare, and there are
several great macadamized high
ways traversing the island that
are as good as the best of their
kind. There are no less than
dozen fine harbors, in which ships
of the heaviest tonnage may safely
anchor. In view of the fact that
this rectilinear is only fifty miles
wide by one hundred and eight
long, the number of large rivers is
extraordinary. Seventeen rivers
and untold creeks and streams,
taking their rise in the mountains
cross the valleys of the north
coast and fall into the sea.
Some of these are navigable for
several miles up for vessels of
moderate draught, and the Porto
Ricans can thus safely and cheap
ly export the produce of their fer
tile hills and valleys. According
to Mr.. Emerson, Porto Rico has
long been a more productive colo
ny for Spain than even Cuba it.
self.
Mr.. Emerson thinks it would be
easy for us to seize and subdue
the island from any one of its nu-
merous harbors, excepting San
Juan which the Spaniards regard
as impregnable, and which is in
deed very strongly fortified. 1t is
worth while to know in advance
that no help may be expected
from the so-called insurrectos.

PRIZES AT KEY WEST.
A Good Grist of Vessels Fall to the
BlOckaderS.

Key West, July 1S.-Several
prizes were brought here today but
none were of any great conse-
quence and the captures were eff
fected with only ordinary Incl
dent. The English-built steamer
Grenow Castle, which for several
years piled on the Cuban coast
under the Spanish flag, but on
June 8, last, returned to her Brit
ish registry, was taken by the
Dixie off Cape Cruise last Thurs
day. She was bound from Kings
ton, Jamaica, for Manzanillo with
Il large cargo of food supplies.
The day before this capture the
Dixie took also two schoeners, the
Three Bells and the Pilgrim, both
flying British flags and both bound
from Montego bay to Manzanillo
with cargOes of food supplies.
The Three Bells is about 125
tons and the Pilgrim about twen-
ty-fve tons. The British schoon-
er +. P. Nickerson was also among
today's arrivals. She was becalm-
ed off Cape Cruise on June 30 when
the Hornet steamed alongside and
informed her commander that the
vessel was Il prisoner. There was
no attempt at resistance. The
vessels cargo was food, including
a deck load Of pigs, goats, chick
ems, flour, pork, potatoes and the
like. She was bound from Jamai-
ca for Manzanillo.
The auxiliary gunboat Uncas
towed in today a little Spanish
sloop, the Bell Ynez, taken off
Cardenas. The sloop had no car
90 and when caught was close in
shore. Four Of her crew of six
jumped overheard and got to
shore.
The Uncas brought also Ysidro
Dooto, a Cuban messenger from
the camp OF Col. Carlos ROJas,
bearing private dispatches for the
United States government.
The gunboat Castine brought in
today three Spaniards who had
deserted from a Spanish gunboat
in Havana harbor and put off to
the blockading fleet in small
boat. The launch of the monitor
Terror picked them up and trans
ferred them to the Castine.

Capt. Brainard fired double ma
tional salute with 6-pounders and
u 1-pounder, but there was too
good target to permit waste of
powder and shell so for the glory
OF the nation, he incidentally
turned the muzzles of his gun
toward shore and smashed block
house and drove two hundred
Spanish ritiemen and cavalrymen
from their entertainments. There
was a lively fire from the shore
and one Of Capt. Brainard's men
had the tip OF one of his fingers
clipped by a Mauser bullet.
After dislodging the enemy, the
Uncas sailed saucily along towards
Cardenas. On July 9, she stop
ped in at Salinsi on 1caces PENN
sula, long enough to topple over
another blockhouse. On the 18th
she met the tug Hudson off Car
denas and the two fell upon three
Spanish sloops off Blanco key.
One Of these was the Bella Ynez,
brought in today.
The others were lying in shoal
water, SO the Uncas lowered u
whale boat and Capt. Brainard,
with seven men selected from both
American vessels, went after them.
The vessels were respectively 2 and
10 tons. As the American boats
approached the crews of the sloops
escaped into the bushes. The
vessels are not worth taking as
prizes so the Uncas and Hudson
opened fire on and sunk them.
