defenses and will soon have more which
would discourage an invader; but the
position of the American navy in for

to Ciego de Avi1a by the military road,
along the old trocha with the Spaniards
maintained across the island at this
point, and which they garrisoned cons

many thousand poor Spanish lads who

From Jucaro along the railroad to

but he has advised them to wait for the
facts.
Gen. Smiths order to his commanders
in Samar have been transmitted to>the
War Department by Gen. Chaffee, and
they have been approved by the Pres
ident. In his order of Dec. "a, 1901,
Gen. Smith said
"The policy to be pursued by this
brigade fl m this time on will be to
wage war in the sharpest and most
decisive manner possible. This policy
will apply to the island of Samar and
such other portions of the department
to which it may become necessary to
apply it, even though such territory is
supposedly peaceful or is under civil
government.

they were to cooperate to terminate the
war as soon as practicable, since short
severe wars are the most humane II

Smith divided the native inhabitants
into two classes First, those in arms
or their friends who collect and forward
supplies of money, food and information
to them second, all inhabitants VIII

rectos.
Toward the first class he expressed
the desire that there should be constant
unremitting prosecution of honorabl
warfare so long and wherever such
class exists. Active attacks and cuttin!
off of supplies were to be aimed at.
Toward the second class he directe'
his officers to give the most ample pro
lection aud see that they did not suffe

To the Editor;
I am sending'yo yol herewith copy
of circular letter which has just been
sent out to the teachers explaining the
purposes of the examination in English
on June 9TH There has been some
misunderstanding on the part of few
teachers who tho light they were being
unjustly treated = and consequently
some public discussion of this subject

clear, and will appreciate the favor il
you would print part or all of it in

that the Department of Education is

actory evidence of their intention to
aoq lire the same before they are ap-
pointed as English teachers in Porto

In a recent number of the New York
Tribune, news lem says that the
interest in the study of Spanish is
spreading in all of our American cities,
and that there is quite a demand for
good instruction in the Spanish Ian
gllage.
You may alsoa1n ounce the fact that
arrangements. are being made for the
dedication of the Insular Normal
Schoal at Rio Piedras on Memorial
Day, May 3o.h. This will be an epoch
making event in the history of Porto

making elaborate arrangements for the
proper celebration of the occasion. The

for an hour to get one to drive out to
Carload Hill, but in the end had to go
in an ordinary coach. The Puerto
Principe newsboy, as he was of old, has
disappeared. In those day he was
tall, lank figure of fifty or sixty years
who carried cane, and stated hours
took up his place at the head of each
narrow street. There he called out
from a menu, as it were, the choice
bits of news which the newspapers con-
tanned. Reg 1lar subscribers waited till
chance patrons had satisfied their appe-
tites for the current intelligence. This
time hunted for the ancient newsbo :,
but not one could tell me what had
become of him. The papers were
delivered as they are in other towns,
by regular carriers.
A Few Municipal Improvements.
While it will take, or should take,
half a century to destroy all of Puerto
Principles quaintness, some progress in
the direction of public improvements is
being made which is praiseworthy. A
fine new park, which will have a ZOO, is
being made laid out on the edge of the
city. The project was begun under
American military authority.
The streets and plazas of Pderto
Principe proper, while they reproduce
old Spain, are now intensely Cuban, for
they are called "Marti', "Maceo", Gen
eral Gomez, and so on. An evidence
that American friendship is not forgot
ten, is in the pretty little plaza named
after Charles A Dana. There is also
the street Gertrude Avellaned", named
after the Cuban poetess who was born
and reared in Puerto Principe This is
one of the thoroughfares whose name
was not changed. for it was given dur
