Their coast is not so dangerous, however, because there are convenient and safe harbors.

tiled and conflicting laws in the
Island at least, has grown out of the
Jurisdiction OF the various courts of
the island. From the date Of the
American occupation there has been,
upon the part of the Spanish subjects
and other foreigners residing here,
absolute distrust of the inSular courts
Instances are numerous where Spa
niards and others have complained
Of injustice done them, and of ex-
tortions worked in the native courts.
Within the last two months the Mi
litary Governor has been compelled,
reluctantly, to interfere in order to
secure to such persons protection
from injustice.
In one instance an American who
was interested in law suit pending
in native court was not permitted
to see the Judgment rendered, al
though he was part owner of the land
! affected by the litigation. His
American attorney was denied a
similar right. On another occasion
it required three weeks OF persistent
effort, and finally the interpoSition
OF the Governor, 20 secure certified
copy of certain legal proceedings
which affected an important enter
prise in which some well known
Americans are interested.
The Puerto Rican judges and
lawyers have fought with pertinacity
the proposition to concede to any
new courts one iota of their juris
diction. Strange to say, the people
of Puerto Rico themselves who are
not professionally connected with the
courts have invariably preferred the
new American CONT. The Puerto
kican judges and lawyers lave
arrayed themselves upon one side;
all the rest of the island upon the
ather. The few. Spanish lawyers
upon the island since the Ocupation
have become the special object of
attack. They represent, perhaps,
the richest clients and have the most
profitable practice. 1t has been a
matter ot gossip for some months
that a aboycott was under way to
drive the Spaniards out. Petty
prosecutions, finally, We're succeeded
by outright criminal prosecutions,
based on alleged violations of law.
