POINTS ABOUT PORTO MOO.

There are very few minerals in Porto
Rico. Gold is found in small quantities.
The average rainfall at San Juan is "a
inches and fifteen miles to the east it is
1913 inches, the trade winds accounting
for this surprising difference. !.
Porto Rico is rich and. fertile land.
The climate is temperate, the thermome-
ter seldom failing to range between 80
and 80 degrees. Trade winds make the
hot days endurable.
There are about 100000 people on the
isalnd and nearly half Of them are Of
negro blood. From the sea the island
seems mountainous; from the interior it
looks rugged yet pleasant.
In the central part of Porto Rico large
fields Of tobacco are cultivated. Sugar
cane grows twelve feet high and is as
thick as ones arm. Coffee grows on the
mountains, vegetables of all kinds are
plentiful and the flowers we raise i'll
greenhouses grow wild. There are no
wild animals. Over $1,000 small farm

an OFFICIAL RECEPTION
Agoncillo Desires Diplomatic
Recognition.
THE ISSUE WILL BE FORCED
Land His Troops at lilo lilo at Once
To BE Conciliatory with the Natives.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Senor Agon-
clio, who is in Washington as the rep
resentative of the Philippine govern
ment. has asked to be recognized by
the United States as such, and to be
accorded the same rights as the other
diplomats. His request is now in the
hands of Secretary Hay.
To-day, Dom Sixto Lopez, the private
secretary of Senior Agoncillo, visited
the state department, and presented to
the officials letter to Secretary Hay,
requesting, on behalf of Senior Agoncil-
10, an interview for the purpose of ar
ranging to present his credentials to
President Mckinley, and inquiring
when it would meet the convenience Of
the president to meet the Philippine
representative.
The letter OF Senior Lopez further
states that he is instructed by Senior
Agoncillo, in view of recent develop
ments, to urge the ACCESSIBILITY of an
understanding between the American
government and the representative of
the Philippine people as to the rela-
tions between the respective nations;
such understanding to be reached either
at Washington, through the joint rep
resentatives of the two governments, or
in the Philippine islands, in like man
ner. The letter concludes with an ex-
preston Of the earnest hope that the
friendly relations heretofore existing
between the two nations may ever be
maintained.
Accompanying the letter is a memo
randum setting forth the establishment
of the Philippine republic, and the
provision for detailed system of gov
eminent. From the facts submitted,
says Senior Agoncillo, at will appear
that the Philippine government is now,
and it has been practically ever since
June Is, 1898, substantially in full
possession OF the territory OF the people
it represents"
