 Upon three subsequent occasions at 'eempts have been made to wrest San Juan from the hands of 3ne Spaniards. In 1915 Baldwin Heinrich, Q Dutch
 man, made an assault on Castle del Mono but lost his life in the attempt and the undertaking came to naught. Tn 16Ts the English were equally un- successful in similar atsemps, and Absrcrc1nby, in 1797, had to retire af- ter maintaining three days siege. The inhabitants of Porto Rico them selves, in 1929, endeavored to inaugu- rate 9 movement toward a declaration of Independence, but Spanish supfe- macy was completely re-es,ablished by
 1923, and has held the island in sub jection to the present.
 There is in the national museum at Washington a rare and very valuable collection oi' relics and curious anti quities gathered in the island cf Porto
 Rico, the gift Of George Lati,ner, late
 ly Of San Juan. Among other things
 of unusual interest are some collars carved out of stone. These stone col lars are said tc have been numerous
 in the island. With no tocls to work with, and very little skill, it must have
 been the laborious work of @ lifetime for the untutored natives to cut them
 out, many being large and massive What could have been their use and purpose we do not know; but they
 seem Q fitting memento Of Spain's long nisrule in the island.

WAS OFTEN BESET.
Porso Rico's Capital Has
 Yielded Bui Once.
Taken Just Three Hundred Years Ago by inc Earl Of Cumberland, bat Soon Abandoned as URsiealfh- fui-Eoundcd by Ponce de icon Their Mysterious Stone Collars.

When Columbus in l493, on his ssc- end voyage to the new world, hit up- oa Porto Rico, Or BorinQusn, as it was called by the natives, he found an is- land Cf high hills and flowing waters Indeed, Porto Rico has been called the island Of rounded hills from the fact that it's interior is one vast extent Of undulating slopes, though the lofti- est is but four thousand feet high. all very fertile and cuftuTabie to their very summits Many rivers and streams few from these elevations in- to the sea, effectually draining the en- tire island and rendering it remark ably salubrious, considering it's local ity. Aguadilla, place of good water, D Columbus christened his landing place upon the island, and 1t is a noteworthy fact that this name, the first ever be- slowed upon any portion of the island by 8 foreigner, designates the main feature of it's promise of adaptability to people from the north. Porto Rico will not prove inhospitable, from the standpoint Of climate at least, to the influx Of Americans which will doubt less fellow it's invasion by the army os the United States. The island is, on the whole, a heaEhful place. For this reason it is remarkable that it should have produced but few native 6Cwering plants, and no large animals of any kind. Ober asserts that the natives, upon the first arrival of the Spaniards, were more awed and impressed by their horses than by anything else, never before having seen an animal iarger than raccoon, and feared them as ger ribIe monsters which might at any time spring upon and devour them. The island is now. however, dotted with ianunIerable droves Of fine horses and cattle.
 Fifteen years after the landing Of Columbus at Aguadilla, Ponce de Leon established himself at what is now San Juan, the capital Of the island, and with the day of his coming the long category of Spanish expressions and outrages in Porto Rico began. His re- ply to the natives when they under tcok to remonstrate with him for his cruelties was characteristic Of the man. He assured them that the white strang- CTS were immortal, and therefore any attempt to kill them would prove fu- tile, and but meet with terrible pun ishment The native Porto Ricans. however, were inclined to doubt this assertion, and finding g Spaniard in a lonely place they carried him to 8 river and after holding his head under water for two or tliree hours and then watch ing the body for days, reported the ef-

feet to thsir chiefs. A revolt was then planned, but the Spaniards were by the mePest chance reinforced by SOL diers from Elayti, anu the simple na- tives seeing the Spaniards constantly increasing in numbers and believing that their dead revived, in some un- known way, submitted themselves to Spanish tyranny, which sCon ended in their extinction.
 For thirteen years Ponce de Leon dominated the Porto Ricans, and the Casa Blanca. the palace in which he re- sided. is still standing in San Juan. Thence lie departed on his famous search for the fountain Of perpetual youth, and thither his body was brought after he had died Of g wound received on his foolish expedition. To this day his renains lie in the Domini- can church at San Juan, and there felt the jar of tho American guns bringins the perpetual youth Of endless liberty and freedom to tine island he subiugat- ed so long ago.
 Ever since it's discovery Porto Rico has remained iR the possession of the Spanish, but their sway has not been undisputed. In 1895 Drake, the great English navigator, suddenly appeared of Sar. Juan prepared to attack the city. Though taken entirely by sur- prise at his arrival the Spaniards met him with so hot a fire that he was compeiled to retire, one cannon ball passing through his flagship and de- molisiling the stool on which he was sitting. On the morrow he again
 moved in to attack the city, but the Spaniartss. knowing full well of the EngIshmen's valor, and wiling to make any sacrifice to escape him, re- sorted to the Hobson plan, sinking two merchantmen laden with treasure and two warships with their guns and equipments in the channel Of the inner harbor, barring out the British admir- al, but at the cost Of the flower of their feet
 Tn 1592, just 300 years ago, the eaFl Of Cumberland planned an assault up- on the city. Approaching the island with his feet he landed with a thou sand men. and under the guidance of a negro advanced to the vicinity of the city through what he called the most Wickedest wood that he had ever seen in all his life. The first assault last ed about two hours, but the assailants 1Ot et1 anu were compelled to fall back, the loss iu killed and wounded being about fifty. The second attack was made from the ships upon the fort at the entrance of the channel, which was finally bat tered down with the loss os but one
 man killed, exactly Sampson's loss dur ing his hombardment Of the place The fort having been taken, the English moved into the city without resistance, the Spanish retiring to rort Mora-the Morro castle Of today. The following day being Sunday the earl would not attack Mora, thereby setting a good ex- ample for American as well as all other armies to follow whenever possible, but Cn the next succeeding day the '.sho. of great ordnance was sent against '.hem. and within twenty-four hours the Spaniards demanded barley. The terms Of surrender were almost iden- tieal with those accepted by Toral at Santiago. the officers to keep their arms, the soldiers their daggsrs only, and all to be transported from the is- land to Spain without ransom.
