San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept. 1.-Last
evening, the Spanish evacuation commits

explaining the predicament in which they
will be placed II their instructions fail to
arrive by tomorrow.
The Alfonso KILL, however, arrived.
this morning from Barcelona, bringing
instructions for the Spanish commission
ers, with mail and passengers. Many Of
the latter are residents of the island who
fed at the outbreak of the the war, and
the quays were lined with friends waiting
to welcome their return.

In the United States and Canada the
Increase in population is about 20 per
cent. per annum, but this is partly
owing to immigration from countries
already full. In South America, owing
20 the general unhealthfulness of the
country and the mixed composition Of
the inhabitants. the increase is only
about five per cent. per annum, 1t be-
ing an acknowledged fact that mulat-
toes and half-breeds cannot rival the
purer races. says the Westminster Re-
view.
The vast colonies of Australia are
fast filing up, and there is an annual
increase in population Of about 30 per
cent. and this, as in the case of the
United States and Canada, is partly
owing to the enormous immigration
from other parts of the world Still,
N comparison with England, Australia
has at present small average popula-
ton to the square mile, and this is the
country that congested Europe will
look to as a harbor for her surplus
population. Africa has during the last
few years been well explored, and
from all accounts the center OF that
vast continent seems to be untitled for
other than the native inhabitants.
Africa has an area of about three
timss that of Europe; the population IS
roughly estimated at 205, 900, 900.
We will now come nearer home, and
look at our own teeming population;
that of Ireland is las to the square
mile, Scotland 1876, whereas that Of
England runs up to about 497 to the
square mile. The population of the
population Of the British Isles in 1891
was 37.S80,7 64. The increase in the
population of London has been most
remarkable. In 1901 the census showed
S64.00 inhabitants. in 1911 there were
over 1000. in 1851 there We're 2, 362, 900,
and in 1881. 3.S15.534. while at the last
census. in 1891. there were $685., sos, be-
ing an increase of about AZ per cent in
the last decade. but many suburbs
have been added since 1901. Statistics
show that the population of this i'm
mense city. the largest in the world,
doubles itself in about 43 years, and it
is not improbable that in the year 1894
the population may attain the enor-
nous magnitude Of upward Of 10,0OO, 900
OF souls.

OLD sklppER's LAST CRUISE.
After Nineteen Years Sea Life Wat Herricks
Heads Inland for q Last Port.
(From the Pittsburg Dispatch.)

(From the Pittsburg Dispatch.)
an unfriendly encounter with Jagged
rocks off Cape Hatteras rendered use
less the bark Lonzo and brought to a
close the seafaring career of Skipper
Wat Herricks. The old tar was in
Pittsburg for short time the other
night and wandered about Union sta
ton in disconsolate manner. He was
on his way to st. Louis, where his son
lives, and where he proposes to end his
days, with nothing to remind him of
the broad ATLANTIC except the muddy
waters of the Mississippi. To the Dis
patch man he briefly related few bits
of personal history.
Leaving his home in the White Hills
OF New Hampshire. Wat steered for
Boston, where he fell in with the cap
tain of tramp" doing business along
the coast. With his first employer he
remained Is years, leaving his service
to accept the post of first mate on a
whaler about to sail for Arctic waters.
/ He was gone two years, making
enough money on the voyage to buy a
half interest in the Lonzo, bark of
the tramp" class. Two years later he
was master of the boat and engaged in
trade along the Atlantic coast, cOntin-
uing in that line until the war with
Spain occurred. At that time the skip
per was off the Florida coast, bound
for New York with an assorted cargo.
Herricks said that a revenue cutter
hailed him when his bark was two
days under way, telling him that he
had better keep his weather eye
open:'' that war had been declared
against Spain. and that his boat might
be taken by the Spanish as prize. In
stead of putting in at the nearest port
the Lonzo continued her journey north
ward with all canvas.
On the night of April q she encount-
cred gale which threw her against
the rocks at Cape Hatteras, battering
the bark to pieces. The crew and Skip
per Herricks were saved by the Cape
Service Corps. but the cargo. valued at
s15, 900, was lost. This tale of the old
salt, told in his own peculiar style.
punctuating the narration here and
there with deep sigh. and finishing
the story with jerk at his trousers
and a sort of "What-is-to-be-wil l-be'
expression on his countenance. This
he continued to wear as he boarded the
southwest bound train, remarking. in
stead of the customary adieu. II hope
this 'ere iron hoss'll land me in st.
