ners. Wildes was as cool as a cucumber,
but the weather was warm. SO he
called for big palm leaf fan, and, calm
as a woman at the opera, famed him
self.
So cool and calm was this Yankee
fighter while the Spanish ships were
sinking under the hail of lead that he
remembered he had not had his break
fast. 1t speaks well for Wildes that, I'M
der the circumstances, he bethought
himself he was hungry. If a man has
a good appetite he is in good health.
and if he's healthy he can fight. Feel
ing the cravings of his appetite, Wildes
ordered a cup of coffee to be served to
him on the bridge. One can easily
imagine he hears Wildes' order, pune
tuated by orders, thus:
I'D thank you for a cup of coffee
lieutenant, you've got the correct
range-and not too much sugar. An
other smash like that and the Castella's
a goner."
This is probably the first cup of cof-
fee ever served and consumed on a fight
ing bridge during battle. Cafe la
Wildes" will be a popular drink in
Uncle Sans navy.
But Wildes was not the only hungry
man in that feet during the first part
of the magnificent fight. Dewey was
hungry, and, being kind and thoughtful,
he remembered that all his men and all
his officers must be hungry, too. So
when breakfast time came Dewey drew
off his fleet, and every Yankee on the
fleet enjoyed his breakfast very much
indeed. Having finished breakfast
they went back and finished the Span
iards.

Wonders and Charms of the Island
of Puerto Rico.
ale Sam VIII No Doubt Acquire the
West Indian Gem Before Sign
ing "A Peace Treaty
with Spain.
Especial Correspondence

Whatever the congress may eventual
~ do with Cuba, it seems probable now
that before peace with Spain is re-
stored the island of Puerto Rico will
become an American colony. 1t will be
invaluable to us as a naval station, to
say nothing of its great trade and in
comparable agricultural resources. Ly-
ing as it does east of Santa Domingo,
only 60 miles distant from st. Thomas,
all the arguments that have been ad-
Vanced for many years as to the adj
vantages to us in the acquisition of a
coaling station at the latter isle and in
West Indian waters apply with yet
greater force to Puerto Rico and the
two small islands of Culebra and Vieque,
rich in fine forests of dye and cabinet
woods, which go with it. Probably no
part of the West Indies is as fertile as
this Spanish possession, and none is so
generally susceptible of cultivation. A
single acre of its cane already yields
more sugar than elsewhere. Besides
about $4,000 tons of sugar, it generally
exports each year about 1905 tons of
coffee and 1,S00 tons of tobacco. The
yearly production of sugar has been

parade ground is inclosed within the
walls, westward from the citadel, and
net far off is the oldest house in the
city, no less a structure than the an
cient castle of Ponce de Leon, one-time
governor here and discoverer of Flor
ida. His ashes are also kept here, in
a leaden case.
Just under the northern wall of the
castle is the public cemetery, the gate
TO ii overhung by an ornate sentry box,
and the bones of evicted tenants of
graves whose terms of rental have ex-
pired are piled in the corners of the in
closure. This cemetery alone is enough
to breed a pestilence, and it is to be
hoped that our sailors when they anchor
off the harbor mouth will be favored
with breeze inshore most of the time.
The prevailing winds by day are from
the sea landward; by night from the
inland mountains toward the coast.
Far inland rises the conical summit of
the great Luquillo, mountain about
1000 feet in height, and from whose
sides descend streams that fertilize the
island.
Puerto Rico is 100 miles in length and
from so to 60 miles in breadth, and as
square as dry goods box. East and
west, north and south its coast lines run
almost as regularly as if projected by
compass. 1t is about 80 miles from San
Juan to Ponce, the southern port, by
fine road diagonally across the island.
The Spaniards generally are poor road
builders, but in this island they have
done better than in Cuba, and one may

Sixty years ago a writer described
Puerto Rico as the most lovely of all

Travellers generally agree that the eli
mate of Puerto Rico is more agreeable
and healthful than that o: any of the
other Antilles. The average daily tenn
perature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but
cooling north breeze is generally prev
alent during the hottest days. Land
winds, SO disagreeable in the other An
titles, are seldom felt, though tropical
hurricanes are apt to make things live
ly at any time between July and Oc-
tober. The torest-covered mountains,
which extend from east to west, with
the length of the island, produce a
marked difference in the climate be-
tween their opposite proclivities. The
district of the north, comprising the
greater portion of the island, is Wis
tied by frequent showers, while the
southern district is often without rain
for months at time.
In San Juan, the capital, where our
naval station will doubtless be per-
