A QUAINT OLD TOWN.
San Juan, the Capital Of the Island
of Puerto Rice.

San Juan is q perfect specimen OF
walled town, with tmrtcullis, moat,
gates and battlcmenE8. Built over 25o
years ago, it is still in good condition
and repair. tn, walls are picturesque,
and represent stupendous work and
cost in themselves. Inside the walls
the city is laid off III regular squares,
six parallel streets running il the
direction OF the length Of the island
and seven at right angles. The houses
are closely and conlpac-ly built OF
brick, usually of two stories. succeed
on the outside, and painted in variety
Of colors. The upper floors are occu-
pied by the more respectable peo-
pie, while the ground floors, almost
without exception. are given up to the
negroes and poorer classes, who
crowd one upon another in the most
appalling manner. The population
within the walls is estimated at 10000,
and most of it lives on the ground
floors. In one small room, with finn
sy partition a whole family will re-
eide.
The ground floors Of the whole town
reek with filth, and conditions are
most unsanitary. In q tropical coun-
try, where disease readily prevails, the
! sonse auences Of 2uch Ser1iny nay Sd
easily inferred. There Is no running
water in the town. The entire popula-
ton depends upon rain water caught
on the fat roofs of the buildings and
conducted to the cisterl, which occu'
pies the greater psrt OF the court
yard that is an essential part of Span
| ish houses the world over. but that here
ON account Of the crowded condition
is small There is no sewerage except
