There is less race feeling there than In the I'nited State;, because the Spaniards grantd their slaves a great many liber ties. On certain holidays they all had a right to quit work and enjoy them selves, and a slave always might buy his freedom from his master, a privilege which was often taken advantage of. The Puertoriquenos are very volatile and improvident. They will work very well until they get their wages, and then they will spend it all in one day.

Ponce, de Leon1 i founded the town of Caparra, about three miles from the bay of San Juan. It was afterwards named Puerto Ktco or "rich Iport." and transferred to the present site 1 of the capital. Subsequently the city and i the island exchanged names, and the site of the first settlement is now known 1 ' Ring tp Main 73 mdour wagon wtn call for yi cail for your the election is held." This government. which is now In operation, was estab lished on May 1st by the inauguration of Governor Charlea H. Allen. The island is divided into seven districts, each of which elects five representatives to the chamber of delegates. The senate, in cludes the principal department chiefs of the island and five members who must be Puerto Ricans and who must have their appointments confirmed by the United States Senate. Appeals from the local Supreme Court may be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States. Great difficulty was met with in trylog to solve the currency question tn our new acquisition. Puerto RJco was the ! only one of Spain's possessions which ' had a distinct coinage of its own. It was against the law to export a "peso," which w.us coined to do away with lucra tive speculation in Mexican money. It contained about 41 cents worth of stiver Fresh and there were, according to estimate, 15,500.000 In circulation. Before the war 1 with Spain, one gold dollar was worth ' $1.70 in pesos, but within a week after 1 war had been declared it was worth $2.20. General Miles issued an order that the ratio should be two pesos to one Ameri can dollar, bi the banks continued to ' give only jl.75. There were two troubles 1 in exchanging the face value was much 1 greater than the actual value of the bul- ; lion, and the ignorant people would be prejudiced against a new system. Sec- 1 tion 11 in the Act of April 12, 1900, pro vided for the substitution of United States coin for the Puerto Rican money, 1 at the rate of 60 ce.nts of the former to a peso of the latter. The exchange was begun on May 1, 1900, and American coin ' was established as legal tender on Au- 1 gust of the same year. The expense to the United States has been about $12,400. There have been four governors and seven school commissioners In twenty- I one months, and some complain that there has been too much changing of of ficers and policy. Seven hundred and n!net thousand people have been vaccinated and no case ' of smallpox has been reorted in the last 1 few months. A permanent vaccine sta- ' tlon ha been constructed near San Juan. pure-food law Is in operation, thanks to the new board of health. The prisons ' have been reformed, cemeteries have ' been condemns and new ones laid out; ' the Insane Hospital has been enlarged; 1 and a leper station ha been built; a light house has been placed on Mona Isl- ; and; i( deep-water dock has been con- 1 structed at San Juan; buoys have been 1 a:ichored to mark the channels, and over a hundred miles of good road has been ' built bi the American engineers. Upon 1 investifation, General Brooke found that 1 more tfian S5 per cent of the people were ' illiterate. .Schools were immediately es- ' tablished. General Katon was sent fo-- to ' take charge of the work, and he was au thoxiaed to bring seventy teachers from ' the United States.
