OUR WEST INDIA ISLANDS.

Frank G.. Carpenter, the versatile
correspondent and traveller, is doing
readers a service by making a tour
among and a visit to several of the
new island possessions of the country
and writing intelligently concerning
them.
1t is probable that only the few are
aware of the number, extent and value
of the lesser islands we secured from
Spain in the West Indies as the result
Of the war. In addition to Porto Rico
we have near to it the island Vieques
thirteen miles east. In reaching it a
large number of small islands are
passed which are Of little value
Vieques is tWenty-one miles long and
six wide. It is a mountainous ridge
with rolling lands, perhaps the most
fertile of all in the West Indies. 1t has
some 5000 inhabitants, the better order
are English and French, the French
language being most used. Horses and
cattle are extensively raised on the is
land for export. The land is owned by
few people who are content with their
lot and are spirited and enterprising.
Some of them engage in sugar growing
extensively. 1t is alleged that there is
absolutely no sickness known among
these islanders, so healthful is the eli
mate.

quite large and forming an important
group. One Of these has been set
apart as a. home for Iepers and there
our Government expects to gather all
the lepers under its jurisdiction on the
east side. This island is elevated, con-
tains 400 acres and is covered with
dense tropical vegetation. It's woods
abound with game and beautiful birds,
and one-half the soil expanse is capable
Of high cultivation.
Another island Of the group is Palo-
mines. Two other valuable islands are
Mona and Gaia de Muertos, the latter a
mile long and half mile wide. It is
very rich in phosphates found in its
caves and has some good pasture lands.
Mona Island rises very loftily from the
sea and is of volcanic origin. Part of
the island is good for grazing, part is
heavily wooded. Phosphates were for
merly largely mined and shipped from
this island and it is believed that large
deposits still remain. There are two
score of other small islands we have
acquired, but those described lie near
est to Porto Rico and are considered
the valuable ones. The great majority
are coral reefs and mere points in the
sea, but there are several now held
United States.

Mr.. Bryan, inspired by the alkaline
dust of the plains at Winnemucca, ex-
claimed, This nation cannot endure
while half it's people are citizens and
half vassals." Indeed! Where are the
vassels? Does he mean the people Of
Porto Rico and those of the Philip
pines? Are these the vassels he has
in mind? Should not Mr.. Bryan wait
a bit untiA Congress has determined the
form of government that is to ward
and guard these insular peoples? Vas
salage for them no one has proposed,
or even contemplated but just as
broad a measure of freedom, oppor-
tunity and personal liberty as they can
enjoy and understand. and such liberty
expanding with their intelligence and
comprehension of free institutions, with
which they have had no acquaintance
whatever until the tyrannous Spanish
domination was broken.
