connected with the large island ty
well fortified, the water at the wharves
being 10 to 141a feet deep. Ponce has
about 10000 inhabitants, and lies three
miles from the south coast Mayaguez
has perhaps 10000 Inhabitants and is
provided with military barracks. Its
harbor is accessible to vessels drawing
less than sixteen feet. The seaports
Of Porto Rico are st. Johns, Ponce,
Mayaguez, Naguabo, Fajardo, Aqua
dilla, Viequez.
HISTORY OF THE ISLAND.
Porto Rico was discovered on Nov.
Is, 1883, by Columbus. In 1909 Ponce
de Leon was appointed governor by
the king Of Spain, and founded the
first settlement on the island, now
known as Puerto Viejo. The original
name Of the island was Boriquen or
Burenquen. Columbus called 1t Isla de
San Juan Baptlsta. The native Caribs,
whose number was put at the eXtrava-
CANT figure of 100000, were treated SO
cruelty in the mines that bloody up
risingS resulted, as a consequence of
which they were gradually exterminat-
ed. Interesting relics of them are pre-
served in the Smithsonian institution
at Washington. and the Berlin Ethno-
logical museum. For a long time the
island was used chiefly as a penal col
ony, and was subject to frequent at
lacks by the English and French
and by pirates. In 1888 Spain first
began to pay greater attention to the
island, which first rose to prosperity
under the rule of Capt. Gen. Miguel
de la Tore, in 1923. An unsuccessful
attempt at a declaration Of indepen-
dence had been made three years be-
fore. Slavery was entirely eliminated
in 1873.
The island is divided into seven de-
partments, the island of Viequez be-
ing attached as an eighth and used as
q military penal colony station. The
present population is very mixed, in
Guiding, besides Gibaros, who have
some Of the aboriginal Indian blood in
their veins, Spaniards, Germans, Rus
SLAMS, Scandinavians, Chinese, Moorish
Jews and Canary islanders.

is A FERTILE SPOT.

In general, Porto Rico has been de-
scribed as being extremely fertile, its
exports being more than twice the
value of Jamaica's. These exports
chiefly Of tobacco (Which Is sent to
Havana), sugar, molasses, coffee, cot
ton, hides and rum-had increased
from about $11, 100000 in 1850 to $16,-
.765 in 1891. The latest estimate Of
the population is 700. Among the
imports are flour, potatoes, fish, rice,
manufactured articles, and coal. Horses
are abundant on the island; less so
sheep. hogs and goats. Among the
mineral products, gold, iron, lead, cop
per, silver and sulphur are of value.
The only safe harbors at all times
of the year are those of San Juan, Ho-
vas and Guanica. They are regularly
visited by English, American and Ger
man steamers. In 1891, 1900 vessels
entered these harbors. One of the prin-
cipal towns is the capital, st. Johns,
with over $4,000 inhabitants. 1t lies
on the small island Of Moro, which is

The nature OF these orders Is indicat-

GERS as Maj. Gems. Merritt and Otis to

Merritt is the senior major general

FLAT DENIAL.
partment and diplomatic, the reports
coming from London to the effect that
some of the continental powers, partic-
ularly Germany and France, have made
protests against American occupation
of the Philippines, are met with fat
denial. There has been no rencent con-
certed action among the continental
powers toward intervention, nor have
ministers Of these powers in Washing
ton exchanged any views lately touch
ing on intervention. This statement is
made in the most specific manner by
French and German officials.
They are beginning to feel considera
BILE annoyance at these repeated reports
and they are inclined to attach some
significance to the fact that all of them
emanate from London. In at least one
embassy of a Continental power this
tendency at London has received Off
clal attention and the notice of the
state department has been drawn to 1t
during an official interview. Both the
German and French authorities feel
that their declaration Of neutrality
should be received in good faith and
without the frequent intimation that
they are about to intervene to defeat
the ends of the United States AS show
ing how far fetched such reports are.

SENDING SHIPS.
There is no doubt that Germany.
France and Great Britain are sending
their Warships to the Philippines. but
this Is said to be a natural movement
for the protection Of the citizens and
property OF these countries, and not
with any purpose of aggression or of
interrupting the plans of the United
| States. The French government has
the cruiser Bruix at Manila, the British
government has two warships, and
Germany will soon have several ships
there. These are drawn from the DOW
erfu1 squadrons which European DOW
ers maintain in Asiatic waters.

The Russians have twenty-five ships
and the French eleven ships in Asiatic
waters. With these formidable squad
rons near the Philippines it is not a
subject of surprise or apprehension that
some of these ships should be centered
at Manila, when it is the seat of the
greatest naval engagement of recent
| years.

SPANISH FLEET.
Just where the Spanish flying squad
ron is still remains In doubt, and no
word Of official confirmation has come
to the navy department Of the CadiZ
report of the day before yesterday that
the squadron is there. Still, there are
enough American scouting vessels COW
ering the approaches to the West India
channel to spot any approaching Span
ish ship in short order.
The people on the New England coast
have had their apprehensions aroused
again lest the Spanish appear in force
on their coast and proceed to destroy
the summer resorts and small craft
there.

ant secretary Of the navy. being Mas
sachusettS man, had to bear the brunt
of a score of applications for protection
that came to the department today
from all points on the coast from Maine
to Connecticut.
The department has done what 1t
regards as necessary in assigning the
monitors and some vessels Of the mos
quito fleet to the patrol Of this coast
and in holding Commodore Schley's
squadron at Hampton roads ready to
fly at twenty knots speed to any point
on the coast that may be threatened.
DISPATCH FROM DEWEY.

department from Admiral Dewey at
Manila. 1t was dated Hong Kong to-

broad enough to Justify that action

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Porto Rico
trife smaller than Jamaica, being IS
miles broad and 95 miles long. There
are many small islands and reefs along
the coast, making access difficult to the
harbors, which, in themselves, are ex-
cellent. The narrow strip of fiat land
along the coast Is dry and sandy on
the south side, while on the north it
is swampy, with many lagoons. Small
as the island is, as many as 1900
streams have been found in it, Al Of
which are large enough to be called
rivers. The largest Of them flow north
ward, owing to the slopes Of the noun
tains, the highest Of which, in the
northeast, rises to an altitude of 5000
feet.
In the northern lowlands the climate
is extremely damp, while on the south
side there Is such a dearth of moisture
in the air that droughts often occur,
and artificial irrigation is necessary to
secure satisfactory agricultural results.
During the rainy season, from Septem-
Der to March, the general climate is
enervating and unhealthful. The high
er mountains are generally covered
with dense growth Of forests, in
which there are strange fern trees, va
rieties Of trees with large, beautiful
flowers, and many trees that yield val
liable hardwood, coloring matter, fiber,
gums, etc. In the cultivated regions
cocoanuts, oranges, and other tropical
fruits are grown. In the mountains a
special variety of rice, the principal
food Of the laboring classes, can be
grown without irrigation. In the low
land sugar and coffee are the main
products of agriculture, and there are
extensive pastures, on which cattle are
raised, not only for home consumption,
but for other markets of the West In

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The set
back received by the American block
aiding squadron in the engagement in
Cardenas harbor yesterday and the
loss of five lives on board the torpedo
boat Winslow had a SOLDERING effect on
the element in the navy, which is cry
ing out for rapid action and efforts at
destroying batteries with unarmored
ships.
There will probably be some sort of
an inquiry instituted to ascertain the
responsibility for sending such unpro-
tected shells as the Winslow against
fortified forts. 1t is miraculous, in the
opinion Of the older officers at the de-
partment, that the damage and loss of
life were confined to the Winslow, for
the other boats with her were very
little better off in the matter of pro-
lection, and scarcely any of them
could resist the fire of small rifle.
1t is likely that, if such work as was
attempted at Cardenas is to be done
hereafter. the task will be assigned to
more formidable craft.
