of his quest. But the JOY of 1t soon

Rico had discovered garden spot,

in his dreams. and six years afterward
he died at the age of 61.
Porto Rico subsequently had a sort

the island is nothing extensive, but its
area of 3,66S square miles is marvel

The population at the last census
showed 953,234 inhabitants, but the
American occupation. the liberal treat

boom given to business has had the
effect of drawing an increasing num-

For four centuries Porto Rico has

the United States are now averaging
about $12,000,000 annually, and the ex-

The conduct of the country by the
| United States in the last ten years has

based on the cessation of military rule,
the abolition OF customs between the

taking many lives left nearly 100000
persons homeless, 1t was prompt
action on the part of Washington that
prevented untold desolation and
misery.
In addition to private charity which
was extended from this country In lib
eral measure, the United States gov
eminent expended about 100000 to
stop the misery, and so great was the
gratitude of the people for kind OF
help they never could have had from
impoverished Madrid that any linger'
ing feeling of regret at the severing OF
ancient ties was utterly forgotten.
At the first general election held a
year later, the policy Of President Nc
Kinley was overwhelmingly Endorsed,
and the relations have since been main
tanned on a basis Of harmony.
