Opnosition to the Government.

Mr.. Korda further says that the Spanish
element remaining in Porto Rico, and which
has owed its past prosperity to favor from
its own government, detests and hates the
American military government now exist
ing on the island. The native mulatto pop
hopes and dreams OF plumber are unreallzed
are united with the Spanish element in this
hatred. These elements have combined,
says Mr.. korda, with the hope of obtain
ing some other kind of government more
conducive to their desires. As far as pos
sible they obsuuct and discredit the pres
ent administration Of affairs In Porto Rico
On the other hand, there is a strong Span
ish element that is clearly in favor Of the
just and equable administration of the
United States in Porto Rican affairs.

Peace and Prosperity.

Notwithstanding that Mr. Korda was
travelling in a part of the island which
rumor had made the scene Of constant MUIR
der, arson and pillage. he was unable after
four days of investigation TO obtain the
slightest confirma ton of these reports. On
the contrary, on every hand Were to be
found signs of peace and prosperity. 1t is,
Mr.. korda says. true that among some of
the Spanish planters fear was expressed ar
to what they We're told was occurring in
other parts of the island. Taking counsel
of their fears, they had written to their
friends in the towns asking for protection.
Many of the startling rImOrs prevalent Of
late, Mr.. Korda thinks have no other foun-
dation than what can be traced to this
origin

IN RICH COFFEE REGIONS
Report of a Recent Visit to the Hills of
Porto Rico.
Signs of Peace, Order and Prosperity
Two Glasses Opposed to Present
Form of Government.

Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn
has made public an abstract of a report
made short time since by w Korda. a
gentleman well known in the United States
TO Gen. Brooke. The report refers to a re-
cent visit made by Mr.. Korda through
some of the cane and coffee districts of
Porto Rico and contains much of CONNER
cial interest.
Mr.. korda was commissioned to make
the trip by the Association of Agricultu-
ralists and Manufacturers of Porto Rico
for the purpose of ascertaining the state of
affairs in the coffee regions and in behalf
OF the association to inform the United
States government in case it were deemed
advisable or necessary of the general con-
dition of the country. Mr.. Korda was ac-
companied il his trip by Mr.. Eugene Kelly
OF the firm of Eugene Kelly & Company of
New York.
In a Fertile Region.
The itinerary made by Mr.. Korda was
through the vast and rich coffee districts
of GALES and Jayuya. He says that after
traversing the luxuriant cane fields of the
valley of Manati they began to climb on
horseback the hills of Gales Cialitos and
Cacaos, and were soon in the very middle
of the coffee region. There is. remarks
Mr.. kOrda, no more fertile or productive
land in Porto Rico than that which he
here found. Every foot of it. he says. gives
forth some fruit or profit. The ground
which is rot covered by coffee or cocoa
trees produces plantains, bananas, tobacco
corn, peas, sweet potato etc, and that
which is nRcultivated is used for pasturing
the beasts of burden which carry these
products to the coast markets. Pure run
ring water is met with everywhere In
places ii runs with great rapidity, and
serves not only to irrigate, but also to
drive the machinery in cleansing. drying
and polishing the coffee before it is ready
for shipment.
The coffee crop then being gathered was
abundant and promised to reach - 000. 600
pounds. Coffee production, Mr. Korda says,
will be much increased, as there are today
many new trees about to bear fruit. The
coffee industry is managed in this portion
of the island with some considerable skill
and success by the Vicens brothers, Loren
20 Joy and Lucas Amadeo, whose planta-
lions are without doubt among the most
important in Porto Rico. These gentlemen
are SDaniards.

an Afndavft.

nm Am0Avtt.
Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
TACOMA, Dec. 6.--No case heard In the
superior court this year has excited more
interest than a proceeding before Judge
Williamson today, wherein Rev. III. ID.
Brown, the husband OF Lbbie Beach
Brown, of Seattle. made an affidavit that
Mrs Agnes Bonnell Is a woman of notori-
ously bad character and unfit to have. the
care and custody of her 10-year-old boy,
which Mr.. Brown is attempting to secure
for the State Society for Homeless Chill
dren, having it's headquarters in Seattle.
The other side claims that Mrs. Bonnet
is a woman Of excellent character. Judge
Reynolds, who testified as a witness In
behalf of Mrs. Bonnell, was outspoken in
characterizing the proceedings as an out
rage and a mean attack upon defense
less woman who had to work for her 1iv-
ing.
The chief basis for the allegations Of
Mr. Brown are the statements of a col
ored woman, who imagines that Mrs. Bon
nell has been enticing the colored woman's
husband away from home. The colored
woman also has lot of anonymous letters
which she says are love letters written TO
her husband by Mrs Bonnel which she had
taken out of her husbands pockets. After
the hearing of the evidence Judge VIII
hanson said he would make further ex-
animation Of the letters and render his
decision In the morning.
