all three left the steamer at Willemstad
Castro who, while president of Venezuela, often
tried, in the wrong way, to do the right thing for
his country, attempted to break up this vast
smuggling conspiracy. But his efforts resulted
only in precipitating bitter quarrel with Hol-
land that barely missed becoming a real war, and
in Fastening his downfall. His successor
backed down as gracefully as possible, and much
of Venezuela's imports are still being trans
shipped at Wiemstad.
One other industry has Curacao that is of espe-
cial moment to her neighbors of the mainland.
That is the manufacture of revolutions. The
island is favorite refuge for deposed presidents,
defeated revolutionists and other refugees. They
may always be found in the clean little cafes of
the capital concocting plots to regain lost power
and awaiting the psychological moment for
starting new rising of the people against the
"tyrants." These patriots are always ready to
talk voubly of their hopes and plans. and so Will
lemstad has become the great distributing point
for sensational and unreliable news concerning
our volatile sister republics.
Curacao really is the top of an almost sub
merged volcano like many other islands of the
West Indies, and lies almost within sight of the
coast of Venezuela. For many months at a
stretch not drop of rain falls there and the
whole island looks like big bare brown and gray
rock Then comes wet week, and grass and
shrubbery spring up by magic and clothe hill
and valley in mantle of green. But it is only
grass and shrubbery, for there is not tree
the island more than ten feet in height. The an
cient crater has become large, beautiful lake of
irregular outline, known the Schottegat. This
connects with the sea by the Stream" which
flows through break in the crater's rim. The
stream is Willemstad's harbor, but the larger
steamers have to go into the Schottegat to turn
around. On both sides of the stream Is built the
quaint CITY, which looks as If it had been brought
bodily from the Zuyder Zee. It's two parts are

It's operation, but he must also know

The headquarters of Mr. Hartman 8
traffic director are In Chicago. From
there he gives his orders, which are
executed on the boat lines on the At

back to the stream again.
Marvellous is the equipment of this tramway 1t
consists of small bobtail car with seating ca
pacty for about six persons and straps, and
one weary, detected little donkey. When the
reaches the end of it's run the motive power stands
on three legs and goes to sleep. The car cannot
start back until he wakes up and Willemstad's
perpetual traction problem is How long will the
donkey sleep this timer" 1t would be most
annoying problem if anyone cared, but one to
whom time is object ever uses the tramcar
anyway
Dutch architecture somewhat modified to suit
tropical conditions, prevails in Wiemstad. The
business buildings are large and not unattractive
the public structures decidedly picturesque, and
many of the residences are very handsome. The
merchants rule wealthy and, as has been
intmated, not lacking in enterprise 1t is only
fair to say that many of them confine their activ
ties to business that is above suspicion, The port
is an important transshipping point for trade in
the Caribbean. Its business wondering
just how the opening of the Panama canal will af
feet their prosperity.
Though Curacao is Dutch colony, and has been
for centuries, the visitor will find few Dutchmen
there; the population is almost wholly negro and
the merchants nearly all Jews. AS for language
you may have your choice. Address the almost,
naked lad sitting the dock ready to dive for
pennies, in Dutch, Spanish, English or French, and
he will reply in kind-with request for money
Speak to him in papaimiento' and he will take
"the talk we talks the ordinary language of the
common people and is curious compound of the
several tongues named together with African and
Indian. 1t is like all and yet strangely unlike any
of them.
The tourist landing on Curacao for the first time
naturally expects to be confronted at every turn by
bottles of the queur to which the island has given
its name, but he is disappointed. 1t is there, of
course and for sale, but it is not obtruded on the
passerby. The small bitter orange from which it
is made is grown on the island, but the liqueur is
not manufactured there and never has been. 1t is
a product Of Europe. Gold iligree work, hampers,
inaid caskets offered tourists.
Altogether, though the ordinary sights of Gu
racao may be exhausted in day, it is well worth
longer visit by the leisurely traveller and he will
find the inhabitants most hospitable With its riot
of color its far over-reaching caves, its long
wrought iron sgn-posts its quaint forts and
crooked streets, its waterways and boats and gayly
clad people, Willemstad should be paradise for
painters.

its harborlake these bloody sea-rovers sailed with
rich cargoes captured from the ifated merchant
men that had fallen into their hands and the
stores of gold and goods from plundered cities
on the mainland. The place was safe from all
pursuers and there the pirates divided their spoils
and reftted for raids But in all the chron-
icles of the buccaneers there is little mention of
Curacao, and no record of its ever having been
attacked by them. From 1884. when the Holland
ers apparently found 1t without an owner, the
island was Dutch possession. Thrifty merchants
settled there and it requires no stretch of the
imagination to suppose that their immunity from
raids was due to the excellent facilities they af
forded the pirates for disposng of loot. The cities
of the mainland and of dozen islands of the
Caribbean were repeatedly ravaged and burned
and the inhabitants subjected to torture and mas
sacre But Curacao was unmolested, save for two
Intellectual expeditions for its capture organized by
the Spanish during European wars
And the Curacao of to-day? Well. it hasn't
changed greatly, save to accommodate itself to
Iatterday conditions. Rich cargoes still are un-
loaded at its wharves, but they sent there in
steamers by the merchants of Europe and Ameri-
ca. Sober, peaceful Dutch Jews take the mer-
chandise in hand, and little later much of it is
loaded into soops and schooners which sail away
for the mainland of Latin-America. Still later
this same merchandise appears for sale on the
counters of merchants in the cities of Colombia,
Venezuela and Central America. at prices that
preclude the supposton that it has passed through
the custom houses and paid the heavy import dl-
ties that are imposed in those countries.
In a word Curacao has become the headquar
ters for the smugglers Of the Caribbean. Little
Is heard OF this, for silence best serves the pur-
poses of most of those concerned hint at the
truth is met with the indignant denial Of the
shrewd folk OF Willemstad But the fact is well
