The negroes themselves are q pleas

ing to have felt the influence of the
thrifty Dutch for many years.
Dutch Is the official language of the
island, of course, though English Is
mostly spoken. The natives speak
Dutch and English slightly and have
a peculiar mixture of French, Span
ish, Dutch and Indian that Is their
chief tongue. This language Is very
crude and is never learned, simply ab-
sorbed.
Scenes upon the streets Of Willen1-
stad are certain to entertain every one
who has come here for the first visit.
Many of the streets are very narrow,
but always clean, and the views along
them form an interesting study.
In the hotels the food, though not
always of the best quality, Is cooked
very we'll and is served in an appetiz-
ing way. Considering the prices
charged by the hotels and the prices
which they are required to pay for
tn" food, the fire is very good.
Outside of Willemstad itself there
is little to interest anyone. The
island receives a small rainfall. Luck
lily for the Inhabitants, Willemstad Is
a free port, and they therefore are
able to import many foods and goods
without having to pay much more for
them than cost at their point Of orig
ination.
The Dutch government maintains
200 soldiers from Holland and anseqtal
number Of native militia at Willem-
stad. This force acts under the COM
mand of the governor and is for serv-
ice in all parts Of the island. The
peaceful nature of the islanders, how.
ever, seems to make the maintenance
of this force q needless expense.
