it almost impossible to feel the heat of
the summer months. The evenings are
always cool, and the air is absolutely
clear, without smoke or haze. The long
err one stays in Porto Rico the more n
loves it, and I predict that the great dan
ger to be avoided is the too great rush of
colonists from the states.
AT present San Juan is the leading city
OF the island, but there is every reason to
believe chat it will soon be second in size
and Importance to Ponce. AS it has
long been the seat of government it has
the finest public buildings and the great
est conveniences, but there the descrip-
ton stops. There are no storage ware
houses and no buildings that could be
used for that purpose, and the city is so
situated that it's population is already
somewhat ~congested. To extend the linz
its would be difficult, if not almost impos-
sible.
At Ponce it is very different. The
opportunities for extension are 1imitless,
there are storage facilities for a trade
many times greater than hat which is
enjoyed at present. In addition to this
the harbor of La Playa, the seaport town
and warehouse of Ponce. is almost as
good as hat at San Juan. This little
tow is less than two miles from the city
proper and business men who have their
interests located there make their home
in Ponce, which is at once the most de-
lightful and the most healthful city on
the island.
1t also has plenty Of good roads ex-
tending far out into the agricultural dis
tricts, that are particularly rich in sugar,
fruit, coffee, tobacco and the other pro-
ducts of the island. All this will appeal
to the American capitalist who is coming
to assist the islanders in making a new
start in life, and when, in addition to all
these advantages, he finds that the peo-

tive, while of those Of San Juan are like
their town, conservative and behind the
times, he will turn his attention to the
smaller city, to the great advantage of
that section. The prospects for Ponce,
therefore, are of the brightest and it
would not be surprising if the city yet
became the great trade center for this
part of the world.
While Ponce and San Juan are the
business centers of the island, Mayaguez
is by far the prettiest town of the three.
IT is also n of the most progressive
places on the island and is inhabited by
people who are so industrious that DOW
erty is almost unknown, an unusual con-

there are attractive places to be found
and in a short time. if things continue to
improve, there will be no end of OppOr-
tunities for those who desire to settle in
the country, either in mercantile lines
or as agricufturists.
The Inhabitants of the island are gen.
orally more industrious than the Cuban,
probably because of the better character
of the country. While there are many
Spaniards who are still true to their
mother country, the mass of the people
welcome the stranger and extend hospi-
tality to him most freely. The better
class are fairly we'll educated, but the
poorer people are extremely ignorant.
The facilities for good living on the island
are excellent but the cooking, like that
of Cuba. is abominable, being greasy and
poisoned with garlic. In the larger cities
the hotels and cafes have commenced to
cater to the new trade that has come
from the state, and there one may obtain
food that is eatable, but the stranger 500
tires of The methods OF cooking that still
prevail generally on the island.
Taking it all in all, therefore, the i'm
preston that Porto Rico gives is much
more favorable than that which one de-
rives from his trip around Cuba and it
is probable that this island will be pros
porous and happy long before the last
member of the army of the revolution has
decided to lay down his arms and become
once more a peaceful tiller of the soil.
Cuba has much to recommend it but
there is no end of work to be done be-
fore it will be inhabitable. Everything
is ready in Porto Rico. All that is needed
IS a settled governmental. policy and a
reasonable amount Of Yankee push and
Yankee capital.

ditfon of affairs for a city in this part of
the world.
In m of the cities and owns OF Porto
Rice the inhabitants are divided. into four
classes: The Indian, of which there are
a few still remaining on the island: the
negroes, who numerically are about as
strong as the Indians; the Spaniards and
their descendants, and the half breeds,
who make up the bulk of the population.
Generally the color line is not drawn
very closely, but in this respect Maya
guez is an exception. There the per-
centage of whites is far in excess of that
at any other place and they keep their
position more closely.
While M~ayaguez ranks but third COM
mercially it manufactures more products
than both of the other cities. While
Ponce and San Juan depend upon their
exports and imports Mayaguez has
scores of small industries from which it
derives it's wealth. 1t has four big cot
fee mills and a tannery that supplies
practically all the leather that is used
in the island, the leather being a product
of the native wagli bark. Besides this
it has several chocolate factories, and
countless little shops for the making of
straw hats, baskets, saddles, and for
polishing and cutting the tortoise shell.
In other respects Mayaguez is a pleas
ant place of abode. It's architecture is
very attractive as compared with the
heavy stone structures that prevail in
the larger cities, and it's conveniences are
quite modern. 1t has a little street rail-
road, of extremely narrow gauge, but
quite large enough for the rattle, an
electric light and power plant, an ice
plant. and a good water system. It's har-
Dor, however, is SO poor that it cannot
hope to rank commercially with the other
cities where conditions for the arrival
and departure of vessels are of a much
more favorable character.
When one has seen these three cities
one has seen all that the island has to Of
fer in this respect. OF course there are
towns, thriving little places whose popu-
lations vary from a few hundred to a few
thousand, but there are few of them tina
have many attractions from a business
point of view. Lares is a coffee center
in the interior, in the vicinity of which
are to be found the richest coffee lands on
the island; Cayey is a tobacco center
where there are ten or a dozen Spanish
firms engaged in the making of cigars.
