Lieutenant Phillips, U. s. ", had
been inspecting government property
out in the corral, but the heat had
driven him into his tent, which was
pitched just on the edge of coffee
plantation.
1t was at the time when our govern
ment was withdrawing from Porto
Rico the vast number OF horses, army
wagons and other transportation para
phernalia which had been necessary
during the war. Inspection duty Is
only given to men who are thoroughly
trustworthy. Especially Is this true in
Porto Rico. There were large guam
titles of government property there
after the surrender, most Of 1t In good
condition. The planters whereabouts,
who had lost seasons crops through
the war, were anxious to cheaply re
equip their plantations with wagons,
horses and mules. II was because the
honest gentlemen had tendency to
offer Inducements" to inspecting Of
ficers to condemn good property, which
the planters could afterward buy for
song at the auction, that especial
care was USED III tne seiectioh OF IN
specting omcers. Lieutenant fhliips
was one Of the elect.
