The War Department has received a let- ter from a New York attorney, represent- ing J. L. St. John, protesting against the award for transporting the Spaulsh pris. oners in Spanish ships. In addition to the claims that have been made in this matter heretofore, he alleged that his client had not been heard respecting a bid which he bad put in. Col. Hecker replied to the at- torney, saying that Mr. St. Jokn's bid was upon a letter denoting him a paper manu- facturer, and Mr. St. John had not re- sponded to a telegram requesting bis pres- ence in Washington, save by a letter say- ing that he was glad that the contract had been placed so advantageously to the gov- ernment. Col. Hecker also said that the Cepartment was fully advised as to the lo- cation of tae Spanish ships before the con- tract was made. a Gifts From the D. A. R. The Cleveland chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution has forwarded to the Secretary of War a check for $1,000 to be added to the national war fund for the purchase of supplies for the soldiers in the field. The national organization of the Daughters of the American Revolution has purchased a launch for the hospital ship Missouri, the boat to be used in transfer- ring sick and wounded soldiers to and from the ship, Its People, Climate, Geography and Industries. DAYS AND NIGHTS NOW ARE WARM et Heavy Storms and Furious Hurri- canes. VISITED BY EARTHQUAKES The semi-official announcement that Por- to Rito is to be included within the domin- ion of the United States as a result of pend- ing military and naval operations has natu- rally directed general attention to that isl- and. Its case is altogether different from that of Cuba, in which the policy of the government is directed solely to the estab- lishment of an independent and stable gov- ernment by the inhabitants, free from all interference by Spain or any other foreign government. Porto Rico is also to be wrested from the Spanish government, but unlike Cuba, she is to be appropriated by the United States and incorporated into the Union. The military information division of the adjutant general's office has com- piled some “military notes on Porto Rico,” containing a mass of interesting data about the island. The Island and Its People. According to this publication, the island of Porto Rico is about thirty-five miles broad and ninety-five miles long and covers about 3,668 square miles. It is the fourth in size of the Antilles and the first in densi- ty of population and in prosperity. Its population is stated at 813,937, of which a little over 300,000 are negroes.’ It is one of the few countries of tropical America where the number of whites exceeds that of other races. The whites and colored, however, are all striving in the same move- ment of civilization, and are gradually be- coming more alike in ideas and manners. Among the white population the number of males exceeds the number of females, which is the contrary of all European coun- tries. This is partly explained by the fact that the immigrants are mostly males. On an average the births exceed the deaths by double. The eastern portion of the island is less populous than the western. The ground is very fertile, being suitable for the cultivation of cane, coffee, rice and other products raised in Cuba, which island Porto Rico resembles in richness and fer- tility. The climate is hot and motst, the medium temperature reaching 104 degrees Fahren- heit. Constant rains and winds from the east cool the heavy atmosphere of the low regions. On the heights of the Central Cor- dillera the temperature is healthy and agreeable. Iron rusts and becomes consumed, so that nothing can be constructed of this metal. Even bronze artillery has to be covered with a strong varnish to protect it from the damp winds. Although one would suppose that all the large Islands in the tropics enjoyed the same climate, yet from the greater mortali- ty observed in Jamaica, St. Domingo and Cuba, as compared with Porto Rico, one is inclined to believe that this latter island is much more congenial than any of the for- mer to the health of Europeans. ‘Rhe heat, the rains and the seasons are 1 very trifling varlations, the same in Bui the number of mountains and runn: ms, which are everywhere in view in Porto Rico, and the general cultivation of the land, may powerfully contribute to purity the atmosphere and render it salubrious to man. The only difference of temperature to be observed throughout the island is due to altitude, a change which is common to every country under the influence of the tropics. Range of Temperature. In the mountains the inhabitants enjoy the coolness of spring, while the valleys would be uninhabitable were it not for the dail; breeze which blows generally from the aortheast and east. For example, in Pon-e the noonday sun is felt in all its rigos, while at the village of Adjuntas, four leagues distant in the interior of the mountains, the traveler feels invigorated by the refreshing breezes of a temperate clime. At one place the thermometer 1s as high as 90 degrees, while in another it is sometimes under 60 degrees. Although the seasons are not so distinctly marked in this climate as they are in Europe (the trees being always green), yet there is a distinction to be made between them. The division into wet and dry seasons (winter and summer) does not give a proper idea of the seasons in this island; for on the north coast it sometimes rains almost the whole year, while sometimes for twelve or fourteen months not a drop of rain falls on the south coast. However, in the moun- tains at the south there are dally showers. Therefore the climate of the north and south coasts of this island, although under the same tropical influence, is essentially different. As in all tropical countries, the year 1s divided into two seasons—the dry and the rainy. In general the rainy season com- mences in August and ends the last of De cember, southerly and westerly winds pre vailing during this period. The rainfall 1s excessive, often inundating fields and form- ing extensive lagoons. The exhalations from these lagoons give rise to a number of diseases, but, nevertheless, Porto Rico is one of the healthiest islands of the ar- chipelago. In the month of May the rains commence, not with the fury of a deluge, as in the months of August and September, but heavier than any rain experienced in Eu- rope. Peals of thunder reyerberating through the mountains give a warning of thelr approach, and the sun breaking through the clouds promotes the prolitic vegetation of the fields with its vivifying heat. The heat at this season is equal to the summer of Europe, and the nights are cool and pleasant; but the dews are heavy and pernicious to health. The weather, after a fifteen or twenty days’ rain, clears up, and the sun, whose heat has been hitherto moderated by par- tial clouds and showers of rain, seems, as it were, set in a cloudless sky. The cat- tle in the pastures look for the shade of the trees, and a perfect calm pervades the whole face of nature from sunrise till be- tween 10 and 11 o'clock in the morning, when the sea breeze sets in. The leaves of the trees seem as if afraid to move, and the sea, without a wave or a ruffle on its vast expanse, appears like an immense mirror. Man partakes in the general lan- guor as well as the vegetable and -brute creation. The nights, although warm, are delight- fuly clear and serene at this season. Ob- jects may be clearly distinguished at the distance of several hundred yards, $0 that one may even shoot by moonlight. The Weather in Summer. The months of June and July offer very little variation in the weather or tempera ture. In August a suffocating heat reigns throughout the day, and at night it is use- less to seek for coolness; a faint zephyr is succeeded by a calm of several hours. The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive, and the body, weakened by perspriation, becomes languld; the appetite fails, and the mosquitoes, buzzing about the ears by day and night, perplex and annoy by their etings, while the fevers of the tropics attack Europeans with sudden and Iirre- sistible violence. This is the most sickly season for the European. The thermom- eter frequently exceeds 9) degrees. The clouds exhibit a menacing appearance, por- tending the approach of the heavy au- tumnal rains, which pour down like a del- uge. About the middle of September it appears as if all the vapors of the ocean had accumulated in one point of the hea- vens. The rain comes down like an im- mense quantity of water poured through a sieve; it excludes from the view every sur- rounding object, and in half an hour the whole surface of the earth becomes an im- mense sheet of water. The rivers are swollen and overflow their banks, the low lands are completely inundated and the smallest brooks become deep and rapid torrents. In the month of October the weather be- comes sensibly cooler than during the pre- ceding months, and in November the north and northeast winds generally set in, dif- fusing an agreeable coolness through the sur ounding atmosphere, The body be- comes braced and active, ahd the conva- lescent feels its genial influence. The north wind is accompanied, with few exceptions, by heavy showers of rain on e north coust, and the sea rolls on that coast with tempestuous violence, while the south coast remains perfectly calm. Whert the fury of the north win abates it is succeeded by fire weather and a clear sky. Nothing can exceed the climate of Porto Rico at this season; one can only compare it to the month of May in this de- ghtful province of Andalusia, where the cold of winter and the burning heat of summer are tempered by the ceol fresh- ress of spring. This is considered to be the healtriest seascn of the year, when a European may visit the tropics without ar. The small islands, destitute of wood and high mountains, which have a powerful effect in attracting the clouds, suffer much from drought. It sometimes happens that in Curacao, St. Bartholomews and other islands there are whole years withott a drop of rain, and after exhausting their cisterns the Inhabitants are compeited to import water from the rivers of other islands. “The land breeze” is an advantage which the large islands derive from the inequal- ity of their surface; for as soon as the sea breeze dies away the hot air of the valleys. being rarefied, ascends toward the tops of the mountains, and is there condensed by cold, whicn makes it specifically heavier than it was before; it then descends back to the valleys on beth sides of the ridge. Hence. a night wind, biowing on all sides from the land toward the Shore, is felt in all the mountainous countries under the torrid zone. On the north shore the wind comes from the south, and on the south shore from the north. Storms and Hurricanes. The hurricanes which visit the islands, and which obey the general laws of trop- ical cyclones, are one of the worst scourges of the country. For hours before the ap- pearance of this terrible phenomenon the sea appears calm; the waves come from a long distance very gently until near the shore, when they suddenly rise as if im- pelled by a superior force, dashing against the land with extraordinary violence and fearful noise. Together with this sign, the air 1s noticed to be disturbed, the sun red and the stars obscured by a vapor which seems to magnify them. A strong odor is perceived in the sea, which is sulphureous in the waters of rivers, and there are sud- den changes in the wind, These omens, to- gether with the signs of uneasiness mani- fested by various animals, foretell the proximity ofa hurricane. This is a sort of whirlwind, accompanied by rain, thunder and lightning, sometimes by earthquake shocks, and always by the most terrible and devastating circum- stances that can pcssibly combine to ruin a country in a few hours. A clear, serene day is followed by the darkest night; the delightful view offered by woods and prai- ries is diverted into the dreary waste of a cruel winter; the tallest and most robust cedar trees are uprooted, broken off bodily and hurled into a heap; roofs, balconies and windows of houses are carried through the air like dry leaves, and in all directions are seen houses and estates laid waste and thrown into confusion. The fierce roar of the water and of the trees being destroyed by the winds, the cries and moans of persons, the bellowing of cattle and neighing of horses, which are being carrried from place to place by the whirlwinds, the torrents of water inundat- ing the fields, and a deluge of fire being let loose in flashes and streaks of lightning, seem to announce the last convulsons of the universe and the death agonies of na- ture itself. Sometimes these hurricanes are felt only on the north coast, at others on the south coast, although generally their influence extends throughout the island. In 1825 a hurricane destroyed the towns of Patillas, Maunabo, Yabucoa, Humacao, Gurabo and Caguas, causing much damage in other towns in the east, north and center of the island. Earthquakes, Earthquakes are somewhat frequent, but not violent or of great consequence. The natives foretell them by noticing clouds settle near the ground for some time in the open places among the mountains, The water of the springs emits a sulphurous odor or leaves @ strange taste in the mouth; birds gather in large flocks and fly about uttering shriller cries than usual; cattle bellow and horses neigh, ete. A few hours beforehand the air becomes calm and dim- med by vapors which arise from the ground, and a few moments before there is a slight breeze, followed at intervals of two or three minutes by a deep rumbling noise, accompanied by a sudden gust of wind, which are the forerunners of the vi- bration, the latter following immediately. These shocks are sometimes violent and are usually repeated, but owing to the spe- cial construction of the houses, they cause no damagi For seven hours the tide runs rapidly in a northwest direction, returning in the op- posite direction with equal rapidity for five hours. A great chain of mountains divides the islands into two parts, northern and south- ern, which are called by the natives Ban- da del Norte and Banda del Su ‘This chain sends out long ramifications toward the coasts, the interstices of which form beautiful and fertile valleys, composed in the high parts of white and red earths, on the spurs of black and weaker earths, and near the coasts of sand. The whole island ma be said to form a continuous network of sierras, hills and heights. Few countries of the extent of Porto Rico are watered by so many streams. Seventeen rivers, taking their rise in the mountains, cross the vaileys of the north coast and empty into the sea. Some of these are navigable two or three leagues from their mouths for schooners and small coasting vesseis. Few Highways. There are few roads or ways of com- munication which are worthy of mention, with the exception of the broad pike which starts from the capital and runs along the coast, passing through the following towns: Aguadilla, Bayamon, Cabo Rojo, Humacao, Jvanu Diaz, Mayaguez, Ponce and San Ger- man. It has no bridges; is good in dry weather, but in the rainy season is impass- able for wagons and 2ven at times for horsemen. For interior communication there are only a few local roads or paths. They are usual- ly two yards in width, made by the various owners, and cannot be well traveled in rainy weather. Thzy are more properly horse and mule trails, and oblige people to go in single file. In late years much has been attempted to improve the highways connecting the principal cities, and more has been accomplished than ‘in Spanish colonies. There is a good made road con- necting Ponce on the southern coast with San Juan, the capital. Other good roads also extend for a short distanc> along the north coast and along the south coast. The road from Guayama is also said to be a passably good one. | There are in the island about 150 miles of excellent road, and this is all that re- ceives any attention, transportation being effected elsewhere on horseback. Administration. From an administrative standpoint Porto Rico is not considered as a colony, but as a province of Spain, assimilated to the re- maining provinces. The governor general, representing the monarchy, is at the same tim2 captain general of the armed forces. In each chief town resides a military com- mander, and each town has its alcalde, or mayor, appointed by the central power. The provincial deputation is elected by popular suffrage under the sam2 conditions as in Spain. The recular peace garrison 1s com- pored of about 3.0u) men, and the annual budget amounts io some 20,000,000 pesos, In 1887 only cn¢-seventh of the popula- tion could read ud write, but of late years progress in public instruction has been rapid. In 1878 th2re arrived in the harbors of the island 1,501 vessels of different nation- atities and 1,534 departed. The value of products import2d was 14,787,551 pesos, and that of articles exported was 13,070,020 pesos. Navigation is very active, but the part the inhabitants take in the commercial fleet is small. The Porto Ricans are not seagoing people. ——_-2-—_______ Deporting the Spaniards. Probably before the end of the week the Spanish company will begin the discharge of its obligation and have shipped at San- tiago at least 1,000 of the Spanish soldiers on the long journey to Spain, a trip which it is expected will cccupy about fifteen days. Word has come to the War Depart- ment through the medium of the United States consul at Port de France, Island of Martinique, that the Spanish steamship Alicante, which -as been lying there for several weeks, was just about to sail for Santiago to ship some of the prisoners. She is due to airive there Thursday morning. YELLOW FEVER AT THE FRONT. ering Gen, Shafter Reports That the Sitaa- tion i Improving. In a dispatch to the War Department last night Gen. Shafteg reported that about 500 new cases of fever developed in his corps at Santiago Sundiiy.. This number includ- ed, of course, all“ classes of fevers, prob- ably some cases of genuine yellow fever. Only one deaths reported, that one be- ing from yellow féver. The cheering intel- ligénce is conveyed that, the situation is im- proving and that about; 450 men who have been iil have returned to duty. As heretofore indicated by Gen. Shafter and the medical officers of his corps; the cases of fever are of a notably mild type. The patients are ill from three days to a week and then return 6 duty quite as well as ever. The medical officers concur in the opinion that this fever renders tne men immune, for the time at least, to yellow fever. aE anette cee ESSE AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c. Today. James W.
