Victor Pinckney. of 12S Bloom street,
Dunmore, returned Sunday afternoon
from Sah Juan. Puerto Rico where he
is occupying a government position.
being now employed as a clerk I'm the
office of the inspector general of the
island, after having served in the mill
tary ranks.
Mr.. Pinckney enlisted in the Eleventh
regiment, on June ID. 1SsS, and left the
city on June 16. His regiment, which
was in the brigade commanded by
General Schwan, was moblized at
Tampa, Fla. and set sail for Puerto
Rico July 23, 1898, landing on August
Sd.
The regiment of which he was a
member had a very large number
from this vicinity and the surgeon of
the brigade was DR.. L. II. McAndrew,
of this city The orders given to the
brigade were to march through the
island and capture and occupy all
Spanish strongholds.
Mr.. Pinckney saw good dea. of ac-
tive service during the execution Cf
this command, especially at Iioronig-
ucros and Las Marias, where spirited
battles were fought.
In the first mentioned engagement
the entire brigade was engaged, but In
the latter one battalion. Both contests
occurred In the mountains, where the
Spaniards were strongly protected,
both by natural and artificial re-
| doubts. and in both of them the Amer
lean troops suffered very little loss
| and gained their objective point.
On December % Private Pinckney was
| advanced a step and became Corporal
Pinckney After this very little real
fighting was participated In by the
| regiment, and for awhile Corporal
Pinckney was utilized at division head
quarters, where he was made chief
| clerk. Later on he was moved into the
| inspector generals department, AMI
there his clerical duties became SC
heavy that it was impossible for him
to attend to both them and his mill
tary obligations. He was. therefore
April 13. 1859. given his honorable dis
| charge from the army and transferred
into the civil service, where he has
since remained.

NEED SOME POLICEMEN.

If few of our big, burly biue-coats
from these sections could be sent
down the status of law and order Of
the island would be increased in a
wonderful degree.
"San Juan is finely protected. II Is
entirely fortified by a large wall, which
runs the entire distance around 1t, and
from which the cannon point down on
the bay. Two thousand, five hundred
American troops. the Eleventh infan-
try, commanded by Colonel Russy. AMI
the Fifth cavalry, by Colonel Raf-
ferty are stationed at san Juan, but
in case of trouble men would, of
course, be hurried there from all over
the island.
Puerto Rico is an ideal place to live
in. The climate is the finest i'm the
world, when one is acciimated to it,,
and is especially hcalthful for invalids.
All the tropical fruits are raised there
and of the most luxuriant kind
OF course they never have winter and
the climate averages about so degrees.

FIRST TIME AUDITED.

Colonel G. II. Heyl is at the head of
his department, and the work done
consists principally of auditing the
Spanish accounts of the island, it's in
tcrnal receipts, customs. etc. This is
the first time that they have bean
audited. and it is a very difficult task
as the Spaniards left the records in n
wretched condition.
Mr.. Pinckney, when seen by Tri-
bune man, spoke entcrtainingly Of thu
island and expressed his belief that in
time, under the proper administration,
Puerto Rico will become one Of the
richest and most f'ourishing colonies
that any nation possesses.
AT present." said he, "the island IL
