Tho City OF san Juan.

OF San Juan, Porto Rico, il may be
said that the city offers many and
varied attractions to the sight seer.
The well paved and scrupulodsly clean
streets are a surprise and a revelation
in themselves and indeed it is well the
thoroughfares are clean, for the side
walks are so narrow that it is impos-
sible for more than two persons TO
walk abreast, and few, therefore, recog
nize the curb as boundary line. San
Juan is built on a sloping hill. which
on its seward side rises abruptly
from the bay and is made the more
precipitous by "A massive wall The
latter extends to and around the base
of MORO Castle and continues at vary
ing heights to the high fortress of San
Christobal. Below it beats the surf,
and as a military stronghold and de-
Tense the location seems impregnable
Great gaping holes, however, along
the exposed parapets, show that it is
not, for here and there are seen evid-
ences of the damage done by Samp-
sons shells when the Admwars feet
bombarded San Juan and its fortified
tons. Nor were the forts tho only suf-
ferers, for back in the town several
buildings still bear the marks of giant
projectiles, One large edifice, now used
as barracks, had whole section OF
its roof carried away by a shell. and
the Church of San Domingo. near the
outskirts of the town, was fairly rid
died with shot in the upper portion.
The inside of the church was not da-
mayed but the authorities, in repair
ing the exterior, took occasion 10 make
a window out of one of the holes, con-
sidering that easier than to fill the gap
up with solid masonary.

HONOLULU'S HOSPITALITY
Visitors to the Beautiful City Cheerful1y
Speak of the Pleasures of Their stay.

The Inequalities of the residents OF
Honolulu have always been n marked
feature of the stay of the various
American ships in port, and the re
quest to have the navy always repre-
scented there will be urgently seconded
by naval men themselves. The climate
has been delightfully."- spoken of for
years by visitors, and everything said
about 1t has been fully realized. A
very funny example of the exact lin
its of the rain belt and the line of de.
narration between sun ana rain oc-
| Cured here when stranger upon in.
quiring his way to a certain street was
told to walk right ahead until he met
the rain and then it would be the sec
ond turn to the left.
In going through the town here
one passes under overarcling trees,
through whose dense foliage the noon
sunshine only trickles in dancing,
broken lights. There are quantities of
huge-leaved, wide-spreading trees, eX-
otics from the South Seas, many of
them rich in parasitic ferns, and others
blazing with bright fantastic blossoms.
The air is heavy with fowery sweet
ness, and one sees the delicate tama-
rind and feathery algaroba inter
mingling their fragile grace with the
dark, shiny foliage of the deep red of
fuchsias and geraniums which here at
:ain the height and size of our large
rhododendrons of home production.
d In the deep shade of this perennial
sgreenery the people dwell. The foreign
houses show a very varied individuali-
~, the specialities no doubt OF the ma
ton represented appearing in the
architecture. The popularity in which
all seem to share is that everything is
decorated and festooned with Towering
trailers. 1t is often difficult to tell
what the architecture is. or which is
house and which is vegetation, for all
angles, lattice, balustrades, ana veran-
das are hidden by jessamine or passion
flowers or the gorgeous tiame-like
Bougamvillea.
The mixture of the neat grass houses
of the natives with the more elaborate
homes of the foreign residents has a
very pleasant look. One sees many
groups of aborigines sitting under the
trees, each group with mat in the
centre with ca1abashes upon tcontain-
ing poi, a fermented paste which is
the national Hawaiian dish.

BOAT LANDING ON DAMAGE RIVER.
The city Of Cienfuegos is in need of
sundry reforms, some which are of a
local character and some of which de-
pend upon the general system of island
government. Most of them are of
equally imperative consideration in
other cities of Cuba Cienfuegos needs
a water supply. The present institu-
ton is only notable because Of its in
adequacy.
Another greatly needed veform is
along municipal lines, and concerns
the matter of taxation. Under orders
from the department of the Governor
General. cities are not allowed to inn
pose and collect any taxes save a few
which, under the old reg me, were
known as municipal taxes. They are
few in number, and utterly nsignif-
cant with one exception. That eXcep-
ton formed the bulk of tie amount
collected, and represents a tax which is
q disgrace to civilization. 1t is vi
cious and pernicious, and yet il is the
only one of any moment Nhich the
authorities now permit the raunicipali
ties TO collect for municipal expenses
This is the meat tax. The right to kill
cattle was sold at auction to the high
est bidder. The successful bidder often
farmed out his contract in sections al
handsome profit.
