Brief Description of the City by

Norman North of Troop C, 9TH United
States Cavalry, now in Porto Rico, who
when he enlisted, was student in the
medical department of the Columbian Uni
versity, has written to his friends in this
city, under recent date, as follows:
THE 9TH arrived in port February G. after
an uneventful voyage of five days from Sa-
vannah. San Juan is a beautiful and pic
turesque city. It is a marvel of cleanliness
and domestic comfort. 1t is approac led
from the north. and slopes from the battle
mented hills on that coast to the docks on
the south. The houses are built in tiers.
"All the buildings are of adobe which is
a gritty clay, made into bricks two inches
thick about the length and width of a
shoe box, and baked in the sun. This is all
coated over with a kind of cement and
painted in various brilliant hues. a pea
green finish predominates on the interior
The house furnishings depict luxury and
also extravaganza. Lace curtains fine china
and glass, brc-a-brac, handsome rugs, wal
nut furniture, and most beautiful chan
deliers are everywhere displayed The
buildings are all furnished with artificial
light.
THE sidewalks and streets are of the
usual Spanish type, the former being barely
wide enough for a Porto Rican beau and
his senorita to promenade on, while car
riages have to slow up, and be very careful
in passing each other in the streets Peo-
pie seem to be keeping open house as You
pass. There are no windows or doors such
as We see at home, shutters sufficing in
each instance. One can take in the whole
household and their doings at a glance

son almost demolished. 1t has since been
patched up. The forts along the coast
snow where the rapid-ffre guns peppared
big holes in their surfaces.
The natives look IS If the sun had dried
up the moisture in their systems, and they
move as though the same evaporation had
taken place in their joints. Every shade of
complexion is represented in the Porto
Ricans from the common saffron tint to
the ebony negro. whom many of them
resemble in every particular except the
lingo. The children are exceedingly shrewd
and quick of perception-far more so, in
fact, than our own street arabs.

This evening we start for a small town
about forty miles in the interior. Each
troop goes to different part of the island.
Our own will be broken up into detach-
ments of ten and fifteen men, to patrol the
plantations, for a special purpose The
way Is over very rough and mountainous
part Of the country, and the trip will prob
