stars and stripes are placed over the old fortress this place will be cleared of it's many grewsome features, which are largely responsible for the diseases that. visit the city.
 To reach the Notifications that over- :. look the harbor and frown down upon the sea means a long and tedious climb up the hills and away from the city. The many turrets and high citadels are imposing and have the appearance from a distance of being able to cope with anything that might try to effect a landing either by land or sea. How ever, as you approach them your opin- ion changes. and the towers and bat
 dement's show the signs of weakness and their great age. The Notifications, like the wall, were constructed In 1534, and little seems to have been done to them since. The guns that look down upon the bay are of tl e type that was used centuries ago, and some of those that are mounted there now bear the arms of the kings of long ago.
 There are few social functions or en- tertainments among the people of San Juan. Lines are closely drawn in so-- ciety. The captain general and his lit- tie court form the most exclusive set, and it is impossible for the natives to gain admittance into it, no matter what their standing may be.
 Business is carried on from early morning until late at night. There seems to be no let up. Holidays out side of those of the church are few and far between, and there is little time for the clerks to hunt for amusement.
 Church holidays come often and are usually celebrated with a bullfight or the garrison turning out.
 There are few natives of Porto Rico in San Juan. Most of the population is composed of Spanards, English, Ameri- cans and Germans. They control every thing worth having, and while slavery is a thing of the past the black man of the island is given little chance to bet ter himself
 The lack of chimneys on the buildings strikes the visitor as peculiar when the heat allows him to think of such things. In all the city there is not one chimney | to be found and but few houses where | glass is used in the windows. These are l unnecessary articles, for the sun is hot enough to keep the people from wishing for fires, while all the cooking Is done in open ovens away from the houses. Near the main gate is a tall stack that | looks like the chimney to a power | house. One of the guards was asked
 what it was for, and to the surprise of
 the questioner he said it was used to

guard find shelter from the rain and the cold weather, the latter of which is when the mercury drops eight or ten degrees below the 70 mark.
 San Juan nestes on the shore of large bay in @ beautiful and well pro- tected landlocked harbor which opens directly into the sea. With the obstruc- |. tions removed a ship leaving New York could sail directly and without chang ing her course into the mouth of San Juan bay. The coast near San Juan is rugged and surmounted by high hills, which can be seen from the deck of steamer long before the vessel hears the land. Through the opening into the bay the old gray turrets of Morro Castle and the high wall, with it's many sentry boxes can be seen far out at sea. Here and there popping above the wall may be seen the roofs of the taller of the houses, while high up in the center the dome of the cathedral looms in sight. The houses, as rule, are low, and but few of them reach above the wall The first impression made on visitor is that there are bu,seew buildings behind the old walls that are ohIered with moss and clinging vines. He finds that he is mistaken, for upon entering the gate to the city he finds there are many of them, and, while not remarkable as things of beauty from the standpoint of the architect. they are different from those to be seen in the larger cities of the north and are well constructed.
 The bay is one of the most magnifi- cent to be found in any of the West In- dia islands. It is wide and deep enough to permit a vessel of great draft to en- ter without fear of coming into contact with its rocky bottom. Good anchorages are to be found everywhere. It is an ideal place for the rendezvous of fleet of warships.
 Before entering the city one is struck by the peculiar objects to be found out side the wall and on the bay. Little thatched huts are scattered here and there along the shore. T,Aey are the liv- ing quarters of families who eke out a living by fishing. With all the deep wa ter and beautiful expanse of bay and

m, and, In behalf of the Govern
ment, was welcomed by Secretary
Sherman and Assistant Secretary
Adee. The Presidential patty
was belated by storms along the
way, and it was three hours after
the schedule time that the train
swung into the Baltimore and
Ohio depot. A crowd of several
hundred had assembled on North
Capitol street, and three platoops
of mounted police were on hand
to act rs an escort.
As the train came to a stop Mr..
Sherman aud Mr.. Adee s'epp- d
on the rear platform. and were
met by Assistant Secretary Grid

dent Dole, with Mrs. Dole stand
ing between them, were photo
graphed. Then Secretary Sher-
man offered his arm to Mrs. Dole
and escorted her to President Nc
Kinleys carriage.
The platoons of officers wheeled
about, the spirited bays of the
White House st pped off at a live
ly gait, and the party proceeded
to the Arlington, where the Ha-
waiian executive will he the ma.
tion's guest. Ia the second car
