CURRENCY IN PUERTO RICO.
About 5000, 900 Pesos in Silver Circu-
Iation on the Island.

WASHINGTON, November Especial
Consul p. c. Hanna, writing TO the State
Department from san Juan, Puerto Rico,
under recent date, says,
Il am informed thst IN the year 1895,
I'D to which time Puerto Rico had Ter
its monetary unit the Mexican silver
dollar Spain called in the Mexican sill
yer dollars from Puerto Rico and issued
a special coin known as the Puerto Rican
peso. for the exclusive use of the island.
Bankers and merchants here informe me
that said issue of silver amounted TO
between 70OO. 600 and 100000 pesos. and
IL is their belief that about 100000
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 5000 600 Is about the correct
estimate Of the amount OF silver pesos
still in circulation in Puerto Rico and
tbs group OF islands.
This coin. which is about the size OF
an American silver dollar IS OF light
weight and IS estimated 10 contain about
30 10 40 cents worth OF silver. The peso
is the monetary unit-the basis OF trade
In this group OF islands The Spanish
Bank OF Puerto Rico, which has its
headquarters at San Juan, issues paper
which consists OF promises 10 pay so
many pesos. There Is also bank of
ISSUE AT Ponce which issues the same
kind OF paper. The silver and the paper
money have always circulated at the
same rate, excepting during the late
war, when the people ot-Ponce became
skeptical concerning the soundness OF
the Bank Of Spain at San Juan and re-
fused for . time thu paper Of Its ISSUE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Special.-The
report OF Adjutant-General II. c. Corbin
TO the Secretary of War was given TO
the press to-day. In ii is embodied n
comprehensive but condensed review Of
the part of the army in the war with
Spain up to September SOth.
The cheerful and accomplishing man
ner in which the officers and men Of the
volunteer regiments have remained at
their posts since the signing OF the pro
tocol. in most cases at a great personal
sacrifice is mentioned and used as an AZ
gument for the speedy increase Of the
regular army to relieve the volunteers
from furthr service

Much praise is bestowed upon the char
acter of the enlisted men OF the regular
army. If the volunteers deserved praise
in the opinion of the Adjutant-General he
forgot to mention II.

THE pesos of this island has always

this island | have seen tbe-peso nearly
at par with American money, and
within ten days an American dollar was
worth slSO Of the peso. Gold was sold
here during the war as high as Gi5, ami
IN some parts Of the island I am told,
as high as 500. when the United States
army landed at Ponce the rate OF OK
change ut Ponce was }225, and IN other
parts Of the island # was higher; but
our people began 10 need change. and the
