WashingtOn, Nov. 1.-The following
report from Mr., Hanna, American consul
in Porto Rico, has been received by the
assistant secretary of state, and will be
of interest to persons contemplating
migration to that island. In his report
Mr.. Hanna says: II am convinced that
young men seeking work or positions Of
any kind should not come to Porto Rico.
Such persons as clerks carpenters, me-
chancs and laborers of all grades should
stay away from Porto Rico. No Ameri-
can should come to Porto Rico expect
ing to strike it rich. and no person should
come here without plenty of money to
pay board bills and have enough to take
him back to his home in the United
States This is a small island, has a
population of about 100000 people, and
is the most densely populated country in
the world. There are several hundred
thousand working Porto Ricans ready
to fill the empty jobs and at low price.
There may come a time after the laws
of the United States are applied to this
island that this will be a good place for
American capital and for Americans to
do business, but even then man should
have plenty of money who expects to
make business success in Porto Rico"

While the United States have desig-

they will reimburse to Spain, the pre-

an inventory of the same from the Span

quantity of Spain's pacific expendi-
lures" in the Philippines; and some light
may be given on that matter now.
