considered ground for prosecution bv
the authorities in Spain.
No more than nineteen persons wers
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 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 to 1896 was 1925, 900
pounds, valued at $40, 1872, 900. II
area Of production can be doub' 4
II grows almost without care. -
Next to coffee comes sugar. No!
lasses, too, has been exported in large
quantities and the product could be
increased.
Cotton has been almost at stand
still for the same reasons as in Cuba
because OF the heavy taxes imposed
by Spain. Besides, coffee is more
profitable and demands less care. The
tobacco yield is large. Between 1892
and 1896 the average yearly exports
were 1854, 900 pounds, with value Of
$642, 900. Annatto, mace, cocoa,
ginger, rice and oranges are alsb cul.
tivated.
Under the Spanish rule the vast
forests were never turned TO profit.
Hardwoodis abundant. Fancy cabi-
net woods and beautiful grained woods
resembling marble are among the
products almost entirely Porto Rico's
own. Like Cuba, the island has ex.
tensive mines and quarries. The
principal deposits are iron, gold, cop.
per, zinc, coal and salt. Salt is the
only one worked to any extent.
Again, as in Cuba, there are
scarcely any railways, and the few are
short and disconnected. The wagon
ways are good, outside the cities as
we'll as in them. Water works are
needed everywhere, and the drainage
in all the cities except Ponce is bad.
In Ponce only are there underground
sewers. These flow into the harbor,
whose outlet should be widened, not
only to allow the escape Of the drain
age, but to afford easier and less per.
ilous access.

PORTOR|CO, OURNEWESTJ jewell
The True "Pearl of the Antilles STRIKING Feat
ures Of This Rich Possession.


Some Of the interesting things about
Porto Rico are not generally known.
In size II ranks only as the fourth Of
the Greater Antilles, but in point of
density Of population and general
prosperity it takes the first place. IL
is one Of the few countries In tropical
America where the whites outnumber
the other races. The best harbor in
the island is Guanica, the most western
port on the south coast. Yellow fever
never scourges Porto Rico as 1t does
parts OF Cuba, and although most of
1t is low-lying, and may be said to be
very billy rather than mountainous,
1t Is one Of the most healthful Of tropi-
cal islands. 4.<
Though the harbor OF Guanica,
where our troops landed, is the best
in the island, 1t Is not visited by much
shipping. The district Immediately
around it Is low and swampy, and,
unless improvements have been made
within the past two or three years,
the roads are not equal in quality to
the main roads marked on the map.
Guanica is the outletfor the produce
Of San German, Sabana Grade, and to
to some extent Of Yauco, which is on
the railroad. Porto Rican ''rebels"
have been particularly numerous in
the western and southwestern dis
tricts, and many thousands Of people
there welcomed the day Of General
Miles's coming asthe greatest in their
lives.
The largest city and the commercial
capital Of the island is Ponce, which
lies three miles north OF the port OF
Ponce, on rich plain surrounded by
gardens and plantations. There are
hot springs in the neighborhood,
which are highly appreciated by in
valids. Along the playa or beach in
front Of the port are extensive depots,
in which the produce Of the interior,
forwarded through Ponce, the trading
centre, is stored for shipment. At
the last enumeration Ponce had
population Of 37,545, while San Juan,
the capital on the north coast, had
only %, Ala inhabitants. Ponce has
number Of fine buildings, among which

The report on railways in India for
1878 has just been published by the
Indian Office in London. The follow
ing is summary of some Of the re-
suits pointed out: The total length Of
railways open on March 81, 1898, was
: IS, 454i miles, being net increase Of
926 miles over the preceding year; Of
this mileage 81, 1861 were in full
operation on that date, being an in
crease Of 766. The mean mileage
worked during the year was 2O,531.
being an increase Of 74S miles. The
gross earnings for 1878 amounted
to $5l, 100, $3.50, which is an increase of
nearly S5,000,000 over the previous
year. In the same period the work
ing expenses amounted to S31, 200, 900,
which was little more than last year.
The net earnings amounted TO $751;
40, 900, being decrease of $210,S72
OF the total gross earnings, 1887 per
cent. was earned by the standard
gauge lines, 1852 per cent. by the
meter gauge, and the balance, 81 per
cent, by the special gauge lines. The
total number Of passengers booked in
tho year showed decrease Of 5.9i per
cent. The passenger earnings de.
creased by 7.S1 per cent. What is
termed "other coaching" traffic showed
nm increase Of 26.O1 per cent. The
report explains this seeming paradox
by stating that the falling of in pas
senger traffic" in 1897 was chiefly due
to the prevalence of the plague and
che famine, while the increase under
: ''other coaching traffic" was princi-
,pally due to the abnormal receipts OF
account OF the northwest frontier mill.

The coming textile fibre, according
TO Textile America, is that OF the
ramie plant. Already, it appears,
manufs cturers Of hosiery and fancy
goods are using the fibre on large
scale, and the facilities for washing
such textures have contributed to their
increasing manufacture for table linen,
bed sheets, etc. The fact is also i'm
portant that the different tests made
with this and other vegetable fbres,
such az fax, hemp, cotton, etc.. have
been in favor Of the ramie, and for this
reason 1t is gradually gaining favor in
another branch, namely, the produc-
zion Of sailcloth, awnings aud cover
ings for carriages, on account Of its
being less sensitive to atmospheric
influences, acids and septics, Knitted
underwear made Of ramie-this indus
try, it may be remarked, being one in
which the material has been most sue
cessfully introduced-is not only one
that has acquired quite liking from
the public because of its extreme dur,
ability and silky finish, but also for its
estimated hygienic advantages; these
latter are based on the substance adj
mitting of normal perspiration without
generating or retaining the disagree
able heat caused by textures made Of
other fibres, while hot water and soap
will also cleanse it without any ex-
posure to strong friction.

The harbor Of San Juan, the capt.
tai, is deep enough to admit large
vessels, but its channel communicate
ing with the sea is winding and diff
cult and can be navigated safely only
with the aid of pilot.
One Of the leading seaports Of the
island is Aguadilla on the west coast,
which has the advantage of spacious
bay sheltered from the trade winds.
Here are shipped the sugar and coffee
Of the northwest part OF the island.

do directly with internal improve
ments in the island, but she has so far
kept her heavy hand off the people
that there was an opportunity for the
spirit Of enterprise to develop. The
result is that Porto Rico has about 100
miles Of railroad, and as much more
under construction; and system Of
wagon roads leading to all the impor-
tant trading centres that surpass any
thing Of the sort seen in most parts Of

T,he EASTERN part Of the island is less

The eastern part Of the island is less
densely peopled than the western,
and as the east coast is on the wind
ward side and offers less protection
for shipping it is not so conveniently
situated for trade. Here all the
larger towns OF the east lie inland, or
at least some distance from the coast
These towns are in the billy region
amid rich coffee and extensive graz
ing lands.
