ISLAND OF PORTO RICO.
SHOULD TAKE I'M
MEDIATE POSSESSION.
An Expedition Can Land Anywhere
1t Pleases Except In the Neigh
borhood Of San Juan.

KEY WEST, June 11.-((Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press.)-C. X.
Aievedo. who was for twelve years a
resident of San Juan, Porto Rico, Is
thoroughly in favor of the United
States taking possession of Porto Rico
at once He said to the representative
of the Associated Press to-day:
The United States expedition can
land where it pleases in Porto Rico
except in the neighborhood of San
Juan. The best harbor in Porto Rico
is Guanica, west of Ponce and south
of San Juan, from which latter place
it is distant eighteen hours carriage
ride. The roads between Guanica and
bSan Juan, as, indeed, everywhere In
Porto Rico, are excellent, and troops
with supplies could be moved through
the island readily; but 1 would not ad-
wise exposing men to the sun on long
marches; this, in spite of the fact that
the climate of Porto Rico is the healthi-
est in the world The rainy season
does not begin until August. Yellow
fever is almost unknown. Our men,
however, are not used to the hot
weather. and would wilt under it.
San Juan is where the troops should
be landed. The American fleet should
finish the work that Admiral Sampson
started last month, and batter down
Morro Castle and Fort San Carlos The
forts are not at all impregnable; we
can destroy them at some expense, but.
judging from the previous lombard
ment without loss of life. Then the
troops can be landed to defeat the
Spanish soldiers and take possession of
the city. The occupation of San Juan

the Spaniards could not make stand
anywhere else.
Il do not underestimate the strength
of the forts. New batteries have been
constructed: new and modern guns
are mounted. and the force of 5000
Spanish regular soldiers has been
doubled. The 5000 volunteers are val
ueless. They are garrisoned at Ponce
and other towns. but the great mass Of
troops are at San Juan.
After the fleet has silenced the
forts the harbor may be countermined
and cleared of the instructions, trans
ports taken and troops landed. AS the
inhabitants of Porto Rico are thor
oughly disaffected. American troops
would not be required to subdue the
country, and the people generally would
welcome our soldiers. Porto Rico has
not been ravaged by a war. Horses,
cattle and all food supplies are abund-
ant. and although there is no railroad
system the first-class carriage roads
render communication with all parts
Of the island easy.
1T would be a pity to destroy San
Juan. which is a fine town. with nicely
paved streets. wider than those of Old
Havana. Steps were recently taken to
bring in good water. The cheapest,
quickest and most humane way of con-
quering Porto Rico is by the use of
the big guns of our fleet. A land siege
would be slow and expensive, because

The innovation meets with approval
and the results have been more salts
factory than was expected when the
change was made.
In the old days each application, to-

long-hand and then compared and teri-
fed. All OF which required time And

pany hundreds of dollars If a legal

clerk hire was more SO. A little fig
uring and 1t was apparent that md
