ditions that were aess favorable than they

the Spanish war was good deal of a myth,

the Spanish war were sold in the world s

PROGRESS OF
PORTO RICO
VIM. c. Gregg Returns From
a Trip to the
Island.
Tells of Steps Taken in the
Advance of the
People.


William c. Gregg, of the Gregg-Seager
company. has just returned from trip
through Porto Rico with Colonel McCand-
less of Honolulu.
Mr.. Gregg's notebook Is full of inter
esting data and his camera caught inter-
esting views for him., He met. in the
island Governor Hunt, formerly OF Mon
tana. and General Elliot Of the interior
department. From these men, other off,
cials and natives he gained a compre-
hensive idea of Porto Rioo reconstruction.
Mr.. Gregg had the privilege of being with
Governor Hunt when the first Spanish off,
cials to visit the island since the war
were presented and began arrangements
Tor a Spanish consular service. The ef-
fects of the great hurricane Immediately
following the American occupation are
still noticeable. An unusual haze was in
the atmosphere and red spots at sunset
touched the zenith as result of the erup-
tion of Mont Pelee, 200 miles away. -,-..
It was to Mr.. Gregg an interesting bit
! of information that Porto Rican cities,
! with the exception Of fortified San Juan,
were built several miles inland to guard
against attacks by pirates.
Mr.. Gregg has travelled in Cuba and Ha-
veil as we'll as Porto Rico and is familiar
with present conditions in all of Uncle
Sans possessions. He says: t f..
A Contented People.
The thing that stands out most conspiou-
sDusly In Porto Rico is the oontentment of the
people and their uniform acquiesoence in the
government of the Americans. It is long
road from negro and Spanish tropical indo-
hence and habits to the american standard
of enterprise and integrity. The Porto Ricans
are merely taking their aarst steps. One OF
these is to send their young men to college
IN the United States. Between 800 and 400
are now being educated here. They are &c.
dected on account of intellectual promise
Two hundred are partially supported by the
island government. assisted through scholar
ships In the American colleges and by amer
lean philanthropists. :y ..

GO to consult Senior Tomas Estrada Palma,
President-elect of Cuba with regard to the
inauguration of the new government.
Governor General Wood probably will
leave Havana next week.
The Avisador Commercial in an article
on the sugar industry in the island, says:
Cuba can produce sugar more cheaply
than any other country and she will find
markets If the government to be estab-
lshed knows how to obtain liberty to
offer Cubas market TO the country which
gives the most in return. If the United
States makes less than 30 per cent. reduc-
tiOn in the tariff the first thing the new
government should do is TO demand the
right TO make commercial treaties with
other nations"
1t is alleged that much cattle stealing is
being done I'm the island and that a num-
Der OF minor officials are implicated in tile
work of the thieves. Investigations into
the stealing of cattle in Matanzas resulted
recently in the arrest OF the chief OF police
and the administrator of the slaughter
house. The prisoners were subsequently
released on bail and the mayor of Matan-
reinstated them. Governor General
