after having suffered terrible agonies.
The second case was that Of Louis Bon

his parents in the suburbs. and was d

CURRENCY IN PORTO RICO.
The Report of r. &. Hanna, Former
Consul Mt San juan

The State Department gave out today
an interesting and important report on
Currency i'll Porto Rico from Philip
G Hanna former United States consul
at San Juan. He says:
II am informed that in the year 1895,
up To which time Porto Rico had for its
monetary unit the Mexican silver dollar,
Spain called in the Mexican silver dollars
from Porto Rico and issued a special
coin. known as the Porto Rican peso, for
the exclusive use of the island. Bankers
and merchants here inform me that said
issue OF silver amounted to between T.
800 0OU and S000,000 pesos, and il is their
belief that about 6,000 900 silver pesos are
in circulation here at this time. Part of
said issue having been carried away,
and quite an amount having been lost
and destroyed l am of the opinion that
5.O00,Co0 is about the correct estimate of
the amount of silver pesos still in circu-
lation in Porto Rico and this group of
islands
Il his coin, which is about the size OF an
American silver dollar. is of light weight
and Is estimated 10 contain about 81 TO 10
American cents worth OF silver. The peso
Is the monetary unit-the basis Of trade
In this group of islands. The Spanish
bank or Porto Rico. which has its head
quarters at San Juan issues paper which
consists of promises to pay so many Pc
sos. There is also a bank Of issue at
Ponce which issues the same kind of pa
per. The silver and the paper money
have always circulated at the same rate
excepting during the late war, when the
people OF Ponce became skeptical con-
cerning the soundness of the Bank of
Spain at San Juan and refused for time
the paper of its issue. However, l think
the solvency of the Bank OF Spain Of
Porto Rico. at San Juan, Is now gen.
orally accepted fact, and its paper circu-
lates throughout the island as usual.
The peso of this island has always
nuctuated like wheat on the Chicago
Board of Trade. Since ! have been IN
! this island. / have seen the peso nearly
at par with American money, and with
| in ten days American dollar was
worth $50 of the peso. Gold was sold
| here during the war high as s2.45, and
! in some parts of the island. am told,
as high as $40 When the United States
army landed "a Ponce, the rate of ex-
! change at Ponce was s2.-5, and in other
| parts of the island 1t was higher; but
! our people began to need change. and
| the bankers took advantage of the situa-
| ton. with the result that within two
weeks United States money cropped from
| s2.25 TO sl.50."
