THE VALUE OF PORTO RICO.

The expedition to Porto Rico, com nanded by General Miles, lends inn pressive interest to a. recent article published by MT. Amos K. F'iske. The article deals with Porto Rico, it's geo.
 graphy and resources which afford an array of facts that MT. F'iske marshaIs
 to prove the statement that he makes, that Porto Rico is the real gem of tle Antilles. Concerning this wonderful island. Mr. Fiske says: It is something more than an hundred miles long, and
 about forty miles wide, having an area
 almost the size of the state of COnnec- ticut. Its population is nearly 80,000
 or about as many as are in that state.
 San Juan is a city of 25,0OO inhabi- 1 ltants. while Ponce, the largest city on the south shore, has less than 40,00O people. These are the largest cities on
 the island. The surface of Porto Rico is we'll watered and variegated. The
 attitudes are not too lofty for cultiva { tion, the valleys have rich soil and
 there are over 1900 running streams,
 of which forty-seven are considerable rivers, but the supply of water, which
 is unlimited, has not been utilized for
 the town or for irrigation.
 | As to the commercial value of the
 island, MT Fiske says that there can
 be no doubt but that with the proper development of it's resources, Porto
 Rico will yield an immense revenue. Under Spanish rule, with all of it's bur
 densome hindrances, with the most
 primitive methods of cultivation, with
 practically no transportation routes,
 and with absolutely no manufactures.
 it has supported a large population
 and has had foreign trade of $35 ,000,- | 900 a year. The soil is unusually fer l tile. The staple crops are sugar, cof- fee and tobacco, the inferiority of its
 tobacco to that of Cuba, is due to inn
 proper handling. A cotton of long and strong fiber grows there but little has been made of it. Rice and Indian corn grow luxuriantly and continu OuS SucC6SSlOu Ol CIOpS Cdu US IoASOC throughout the year.
 It is said that the island is lacking in minerals but gold, copper, iron, lead and coal have been found in quantities sufficient to justify the hope that an adequate examination would reveal the fact that mining would amply pay. There are about 125 miles of railroad on the island. Regarding the popula tion, MT. Fiske asserts that it is super for to the population of Cuba. The peo pie arc not ignorant, indolent nor de-' graded They are not turbulent nor in tractable. Under encouraging condi
 tions, they would become thrifty, in dustrious and prosperous. As strat- egic point, Porto Rico will be most valuable for a naval base in the West
 Indies. It occupies the central place on the frontier of the great American archipelago. The Mona passage on the west and the Virgin passage on the east are pathways to the South Ameri- can coast. Porto Rico will make a fine addition to the United States from
 a commercial and strategic point of
 view.

Absence of German warships at Ma nila, at last reports from that city has no special significance. They may now be all assembled there again It IS customary for war vessels of sobser- Vatlon'' to move about from point to point, and at the time mentioned the German warships were probably SCOUT Ing the sea in the neighborhood of the Philippines. But it is not of serious consequence where these ships may be. They will not interfere with the work Admiral Dewey has in hand. The german navy is not so numerous and strong that the German emperor cares to see any of his ships resting on the bottom by the side of the fleet of Admiral Montijo.

HE NEVER SAW THE LIKE.

Among the passengers on the trans port Alamo which reached New York the other day was Seppings Wright, correspondent of the London Illustrat- ed News.
 MT. Wright, in conversation, said:, "It is not proper to speak of hard ships, inefficient commissary, and hos pital service, because this is war and all it implies. The operation of taking Santiago itself was grand and brilliant. T never saw the like before. Nothing could stand the rushes of the Amerf- can troops, so full of vim and eager desire to dislodge the enemy. But these men should be relieved, as the excitement is over, and reaction will set in. The men will lose their stam- ina when the malarial levers spread" :"
