Although logging at the carts tail

OF robbery from the person was slowly

wns lashed at either side. y Two
men, armed with cats-of-nine-tails, laid
on heavily, and were scolded by the
beadle. or crier in uniform, for not hit

The punishment was sometimes re-
duced TO farce when the administFat-

No more than nineteen persons were
allowed TO meet In any place on the
island without special permission of
the Government. and representative
of the Mayor of the town had to at
tend meetings to see that nothing was
done or said against ''the integrity of
the nation"
Licenses were required for every
thing. even for 9 dancing party.
These are some Of the things which
caused the people at Ponce to cheer
the Americans who took possession of
the town.
Chief among the staple products is
coffee. The average yearly export
from 1892 20 1896 was 40, 800. 600
pounds. valued AZ Sl0.S72. 600. The
area Of production can be doubled.
IL grows almost without care.
Next 20 coffee comes sugar. No
lasses. too. has been exported in large
quantities and the product could be
increased
Cotton has been almost az a stand
still for the same reasons IS in Cuba
because OF tue utANN taxes kIlpOcci
by Spain. Besides, coffee is more
profitable and demands less care. The
tobacco yield is large Between 1892
and 1890 the average yearly exports
were 3.5S4. GOO pounds, with value OF
S642. OOO Annltto, mace. cocoa,
ginger. rice aud oranges are also cul-
tivated.
Under the Spanish rule the vast
forests were never turned 20 profit.
Hardwood Is abundant. Fancy cabi
net woods and beautiful grained wood:
resembling marble are among TIA,
products almost entirely Porto Rico
own. Like Cuba. the island has *
tensive mines and quarries. Tbs
principal deposits are iron. gold, cop
per. zinc. coal and salt. Salt Is tn,
only one worked 70 any extent.
Again. as II Cuba, there ar'
scarcely any railways. and the few ar
short and disconnected. The wager
ways are good. outside the cities a
we'll as IN them Water works az
( needed everywhere. and the drainag
in all the cities except Ponce Is bad
In Ponce only are there undergroun
sewers. These flow into the harbo'
