1t seems quite certain that Porto Rico
will be retained by the United States after
peace has been concluded with Spain. 1t is
equally certain that this winter Florida
will find in this island strong competitor
for the exodus of tourists from the north
From New York to San Juan. Porto Rico,
is only fourteen hundred miles. The jour-
ney can be made entirely by water, or it
elay include a trip through Georgia, the
Carolinas and Florida. where passage may
be taken from Tampa, Jacksonville or Key
West.
Porto Rico will present more attractions
to the winter tourist than Cuba, which has
been SO long torn and devastated by inter
nal revolution and by the presence of con-
tending armies. Years will be required to
heal the wounds of Cuba, and time must
pass before Americans can traverse the
scenes of bloodshed without painful recol-
lections of the losses We sustained before
Santiago. Moreover the country will be in
too unsettled a condition and will present
too many ghastly souvenirs of strife to be
attractive to the visitor in search of pleas
ant recreation or of health. Cuba must be
left to the political surgeon, the organizer
and the worker for a while at least.
Porto Rico presents very different as
pect. It Is the only territory which is like
ly to be annexed to the United States when
Spain forever quits the western hemisphere.
In Porto Rico the winter tourist, in
search of warmth and health, will find
charming novelty, little country that
combines many of the qualities of southern
, Europe, with the beauties of the tropics
Florida has always been a little disappoint-
ing. 1t is a fiat and mOnotonous country
without the relief of hill or mountain. Its
shores, lagOOns and bayous are beautiful
but its pine barrens. healthful they may
be. are desolate and mournful to the eye.

about 10000. One-half of these are negroes
San Juan has clean streets, and its sanitary
condition is good. The people are quiet
and orderly. 1t has the advantage of cable
communication with the outside world, and
Is connected by telegraph lines with the
principal towns on the island.

distance of thirty-three miles. AguadilIa

Porto Rico is fourth in size of the greater

richest colonial possession in the world
1t is about one-twelfth the size of Cuba

MISS GOULD'S MONEY
Will Be Used to Further the Cuban
Cause


NEW YORK, May GA short time ago
Miss Helen Gould sent her check for $780,
900 to President Mckinley to be used as he
deemed proper in the war, and intimated
in the letter which accompanied it that
she would like to double the amount.
This check was returned by the Presi-
dent because, under the law, he had no
power to accept It,
Miss Gould was disappointed by tho re-
suit attending her patriotic offering, but
she was not discouraged. She consulted
Mrs. Ledyard Stevens of this city and was
advised by her to expend the money in
sending soldiers to Cuba.
This proposition met with Miss Gould's
approval, and, at the suggestion Of Mrs
Stevens, George M. Barbour was con-
suited. After conference, 1t was decided
that Mr.. Barbour should procure a COM
mission from the Cuban authorities as
Brigadier-General, with authority to raise
four companies of cavalry of sixty men
each. to serve in the Cuban army and to be
under the orders Of Cubans exclusively.
Miss Gould agreed to pay all the ex-
penses of recruiting these men, to pur-
chase uniforms, horses and equipments
and to pay all transportation to Cuba.
This project was submitted by Barbour to
the War Department, and he was told that
if he landed the men in Cuba free of ex-
pense to the government, the United
States would supply the men with arms
and ammunition.
Mr.. Barbour secured his commission and
authority to raise the troops and left
Washington to recruit his men.

A STRUGGLE OVER SUTRO
Sisters Quarreling Over the Question
of Custody

SAN FRANCISCO, May GA struggle
for the custody of the person of Adolph
Sutro, millionaire and ex-Mayor of San
Francisco, took place at Sutro Heights.
DR.. Emma Merritt, the legal guardian of
the person and the estate of her father,
removed him in an ambulance from the
family homestead to her new home on
Van Ness avenue. She was fiercely re-
sisted by Miss Clara Sutro, her sister, who
created wild scene at the mole.
Miss Sutro asserts that DR.. Merritt kid
mapped her father, who, in his present
feeble state, is unable to make any resist
ance.
DIR. Merritt replies that she simply acted
for the best interests of her father, and
that as his legal guardian she is entitled
to the custody of his person. Her reason
for removing him from the old homestead
was that he might be at her home. where
he would receive more careful treatment
and be under her constant supervision.

given an enthusiastic farewell as the
troops marched to the wharf to embark
Long before the hour Of departure from
the barracks, thousands of spectators
altered at the navy yard. The band
played Rule Britannia and The Star Span

American and British flags were in evil
dence and one would imagine that the
troops were embarking to assist the
United States. On Water street, through
which the battalion passed, the Stars and
Stripes and the Union Jack were displayed
side by side.
Just as the last man went aboard a
cablegram was received from the War
Office. England, directing the commander
of the ship to hold the vessel until further
orders. General Glancercy said he was
not surprised and would not be surprised
if the troops were ordered to go to Van
