Porto Rico.

Washington, Sept. S.-The postmas-
ter of Yauco, Porto Rico, has reported
to the postoffice department, under
date of August IA, on the havoc
wrought by the recent hurricane.
Among other things he says:
''The coffee crop throughout the is
land is ruined, as also are the sugar
and tobacco crops. The list CT dead is
increasing daily, and the suffering of
the poor is terrible. The loss to
Yauco alone is estimated at 81, 000, 900;
Ponce, 100000; the whole island.

where they are provided for as well
as can be expected. The railroad be
tween Yauco and Ponce is completely
wrecked, and it will be many months
before it resumes operations. At pres
ent the mail is being carried on ponies
between these two places. Caguas is
the only postofice reported entirely
wrecked. In Yauco not a roof re-
manned in place"

is there a single endowment of any
nature for educational purposes in the
province
The postal system of the island I'M
der the American direction has i'm
proved. A direct mail from New York
to Santiago city is recommended.
More suitable terms should be granted
to telegraphs and telephones, so as to
get a satisfactory service.
A serious question has arisen re-
garding disposition of church proper
ty Under the Spanish rule the state
held all the church property and paid
all the expenses. of religion and pub
lie worship, including the salaries CT
the clergy. 1t is now claimed by the
church authorities that all property
used for religious purposes should re-
vert to the possession and ownership
of the church by reason of the failure
of the Spanish government to fulfill
the obligations contracted when these
properties passed into the possession
of the state. On the other hand, some
of the representative Cubans claim
that the church property should be
regarded as any other public property.
Pending this settlements all the prep
critics remain fer the present in the
hands Of the church, the expenses Of

the province is given, together with
land tenures and methods Of convey
ance. General Wood says many con-
ditions regarding the courts call for
immediate action, as there is great de-
lay in the administration Of justice.
Some changes, he thinks, are neces-
sary in the methods of -conveyances
and settlement of diverse claims of
lands should be made where disputes
have long caused contention.
General Wood says the disturbances
have largely destroyed means OF pro-
duction, but he thinks there are still
many opportunities for investment
one of which is offered in the estab-
1ishment OF agricultural banks pre- |
pared to lend at reasonable terms for |
for four CIR five years. For small |
capitalists, the purchase of small |
tracts for coffee and cocoa and tobacco

Horses Have HumOr.

Horses may have no souls, but they
have humor, which for the practical
purposes of the world is sometimes
quite good, and let no one doubt they
enjoy it. Sonnet ime ago fine horse
that had been sold to secondhand
furniture man was coming down the
street with a load when the signal
gong rang in the engine-house 1t just
happened to pass. The old horse had
been going at the pace of nag that
works by the day. But there was
change. The driver picked himself up
to see his steed disappearing around
the corner at breakneck speed, with
bureau drawers and chairs flying out
behind and littering the street. Away
it went, like meteor, ahead of the
flying fire brigade, to the fire, picked
out hydrant and backed what was
left of the wagon up against it. Only
then did it stop. But if any doubter
could have seen the grin on the horses
face as it eyed the driver who came
painting up to claim it, he would have
doubted no longer.

Inception of the Twisters That Deal De-
struction and Death
To get an idea of a cyclones fOrma-
ton imagine a large circular pan or
tub with quite large hole in the mid
die of the bottom. With this hole
plugged. fill the vessel with water; then
draw out the plug and watch. There
is first rush of water from all dlrec-
tions toward the hole and turbulent
effort to get through. Then the water
surface above begins to sink and swirl,
the particles gradually circling around
and around, and rushing, ever faster,
toward the center. At last there is ac-
tually a hollow space through the CEN
ter, around which all the water In the
tub is whirling, sluggishly near the
rim, but with more and more violent
rapidity toward the middle, until 1t
rushes downward through the bottom
Now, if that water were air you would
be watching little cyclone turned up
side down, for the air rushes upward
instead of downward.
In the cradle of cyclones during the
summer months, when the land and
the water grow hotter and hotter be-
cause of the longer days than nights,
a layer of air, hot, light and full OF
vapor, is for a time held down by dens-
err air above it. Restless, expanding,
tumultuous, it moves about like beast
at bay, until thinner place in the air
above is found. Then up it madiy
rushes and into the vacuum left be-
hind the lower atmosphere hastens
from all directions, pushing and twist
ing and pouring upward until it has
fallen into a regular spinning around
a common center. The cyclone, once
formed, rushes away from the tropics
toward the pole, and begins it's career
of destruction, bruising. wrecking and
sinking the luckless ships which hap.
pen to be in it's path. More and more
of the surrounding atmosphere is
drawn into the Wh:rl, until the Storm
often covers an area nearly 1000 miles
in diameter. Sometimes it filings itself
upon our Atlantic coast and tears
fiercely through the forests, fields and
cities. Then again it sweeps away
across the broad ocean and dashes it.
self upon the coasts of Europe. Once
in a while it so adroitly avoids the
land that we never know it has passed
until ships come in torn and broken.

Spring Hats.

New styles in gentlemen's spring
hats were conspicuous on the street
Tuesday. III. E. Prescott said he was
going to have hat different from the
ordinary run and shortly afterward
appeared in a dark blue soft one with
a gold belt, ladies size, for a band.
Gene acted pretty gay in that hat and
was proud of it, for it was an original
idea, all his own. Some of the boys
thinking it not right for him to be
alone in the display of stylish head
gear, trimmed up hat just like it and
presented it to Judge Nelson Veazey
who promenaded the street during the
day with sprightly and giddy air
similar to Genes. He was also proud
of his hat and it didn't cost him a cent
either. Gene was at first inclined to
resent the infringement on his spring
style, but he finally got even with the
ones whom he supposed stole his in
vention. Henry Kemp and A. e.

sculptured countenances a smile indi-
eating the expression, See how pretty
am" Tuesday, shortly after Nelson
Veazey appeared in the hat similar to
Prescott's, Joseph Merchant appeared
in hat and smile similar to the ones
worn by Kemp and Fifeld. The ques-
ton discussed on the street during the
of the day was who looked
the prettiest in those white spring
hats. Kemp, Flfield or Merchant The
question is not yet decided, Fifield
and Merchant being in the lead with
Kemp a close second. Erwin Cunning
