Offices: Corner Second and Cherry Streets: When We Get Puerto Rico. Now that Santiago has fallen, the cry is: •‘On to Porto Rico." Porto Rico, llhe rich port,) lies in about the am. i.i.itud. (IS degrees uaii.i) as Ui< Island of St. riiomas, and is situated be tween this ule and San'Domingo. Colum bus diH.ov.itd tne island on ins second voyag., in lit'.!, and gave it the name of San Juan I; *I»<1 ■••a, or St John .he Baptist, but i< native name was Boriuquen. F if— t.,n years a;ur, m 15ii8, Pom-e de Leon, tli.-n iue Spanish governor of the eastern piovltice of Santo 'Domingo, bad Ills atten tion c.iUid io Porto Rieo by reports of th. rii h gold finds in its livers. Ah reinforcements were const in'.ly com Ing to the aid of the Spanish cowmander, the simple Indians finally submitted, firm ly coni lined at last that the foreigner.- that tiny had slain revived in am- myste rious manner and rose out of the si a. Relies of th..- Indians are being found each year ( The Spaniard I soon brought them to the verge of extermination, and it is more than 200 years since the last one of them was seen alive. The island is one vast aggregation of hills and mountains. The interior Is a sea of rounded hills, with such gentle slopes and possessing such fetile soil that they can be cultivated Io their very sum mits. I'he highest mountain of the great cen tral chain that traverses the i.fliti-I from east to west is Luquillo, about 4,000 feet. Between tii.se hills and mountains there are a thousand fertile valleys, devoted to the culture of coffee, sugar cane, cocoa and al tropical products. The hill pastures of Porto Rieo are noted for their succulent glasses and their breeds of horses, or na tive ponies, and cattle are the favorites throughout the West Indies. 'l'he island is about 120 miles long by 60 broad, and is almost rectangular in outline within its seagirt shores, containing a pop ulation of 750,000. Cuba and Porto Rieo combined possess an area of about 50,000 square miles, and a total population of 2,- 300,000 souls. The chief city of the island, although not the largest, is San Juan, on the north coast, with 25,000 inhabitants. It is built on an island, conectt d to the mainland by a bridge and causeway, and a magnificent highway eonencts with the city of Ponce ou the southern coast. San Juan is one of the most compact citiese. built on a peninsular, terminal.d by a great fortress and inclosed within high walls. Entrance is only to be obtained through well guar ded gateways from the lower batteries on the mole, while sentinels stand vigilant on every parapet. San Juan is a sickly city in the summer season, as it expects, and invariably re ceives i visit from Yellow Jack, who Inks his victims mainly from the unacclimated classes. The houses of the city, too, are crowded together, after the manner of the older portion of Havana. Sun Juan has its Morro. Within the mas sive walls of this vast castle-fortress was «t small foreign town by itself, with houses, barracks, and even a chapel, while deep beneath its walls are dismal dungeons, sometimes tilled with political prisoners. The mental condition of Spanish pris oners is one of continuous surprise. Ex pecting instant death and'receiving naught but humane treatmen, no doubt they mar vel. On their return to Spain the Spanish newspapers will probably cease calling us “Yankee pigs.” Great Nations Never Delay. A London paper says: "When England goes to war she loses no time about get ting troops to the front and striking the first blow.” Its this true? What are the facts? That ■which makes the editorial worthy of notice is that it was in quasi criticsm of our campagn. In the Crimean war England was just eleven month; before she “struck the first blow” at the Alma, after the destruction of the Turkish tleet had rendered war cer tain. But to come later to conditions similar to those in Cuba. In the last week of May, 3882, Arabi Pasha seized power in Cairo. After some weeks of diplomacy, June 14. all Europeans left Cairo and war began. 8t was July 15th before the- English fleet bombarded Alexandria, and, as no army ■was ready to occupy it. the city was sacked and large part of it burned by a mob. Arabi Pasha had no army, but one made up of Egyptian peasants, worthless fight ing material, in all eighteen regiments of infantry and four of cavalry of cavalry, from 15.000 to 20.000 men, all told. In arms, in organization and in command the army was as poor as ever stood in line. Was Sir Garnet, now Lord General Wol seley. in any tearing hurry to “strike the first blow?”It was two months and a half from July 12th to August 27, before the English war department had 22.000 men ready to occupy Ismailia and Port’ Said, ■the beginning of the 'active land opera tions. It was two months from the bom bardment of Alexandria, on September 13. and three months from the beginning of ■war. that Tel-el-Kebir was fought and the ■war ended. This time it was taken by a power which bad 131.863 men in the English army, and a British army, all Englishmen, of 62,653 in India. The operations were conducted against a foe without any navy, by the most power ful navy in the world. The army attacked had not had a battle with civilized troops in thirty years, and troops and commanders in Egypt were all Oriental. Egypt is the easiest country for military operations in the world. an.L the Suez Canal gave water communications. Aet England, which "loses no time in getting troops to the front and striking the first blow,” was two months and a half in getting 22.000 men ready, and then only acted with forces outnumbering a weak antagonist. The example is excellent. Great nations can afford delay. They can not afford failure. Even now it is open to Spain to retrieve her position without loss of honor: her re source* are unequal to the recovery of /r authority over the revolted islands. Amer ican intervention has not created the situ ation. it has only demonstrated it. After all, Spain is simply called upon to submit to such a humiliation as Great (Britain ac cepted when she recognized the independ ence of the American colonies. Telegraph. This is good advice and from a distin guished source. But it is probable that Spain’s “honor” will be appeased only when she has reached a condition of ab solute financial and territorial bankruptcy. At the Gunner’s Pos». Not one man in ten thousand has a clear 1 Idea of just what are a man’s sensations i when a big cannon is fired. The physical . manifestations are numerous. Even pro fessors of chemistry and physics are puz- ; zl.d when they want to differentiate all the gases let loose and the peculiar effects ■ they induce. The puff of w hitish t moke, the flash of fire, the dim image of the fly ing projectile, the roar and the recoil are all famiHar, but back of these is a com plex mass of phenomena most bewildering to the mind of any but an artillery ex- , pert. • cubes, disks, hexagons or irregular lumps of powd< r are chemically trans formed into a powerful, expanding* gas the instant firing takes place. An examination and analysis of the ef fect produced upon the human system and the mind by the firing of a cannon is most engrossing. Men generally accounted courageous tremble violently in their knees; others feel nuaseated some have revere headache; a few have had their ear d’-um® split or the action of their heart affected. Take the vital organ, the heart, first. In the space between the right auricle and ventricle are a set of fine, threadlike cords called the tendineae. The concussion 'hakes them like timber® in a building, when thire l-s an earthquake. In a weak man the chamber of the heart is left open for an instant; the opening and closing springs lose their control; the heart -bakes; possibly the chordae tendineae are -napped; contraction or dilation of the or gan ensues and in some instances death follows. Deaftness, induced by an explosion, may be traced to the stiddt n pressure upon the inner orifice of the ear and the tremendous vibrations set up. The thin, transparent, fairly bright membrane called the drum f the ear is burst, like a piece of tissue iner held taut and forcibly blown upon. Sounds are conveyed by the beating of a tiny mallet upon this anvil. M the beating is too rapid and too forcible the mem branes may be ruptured; a temporary dis turbance of the mind occurs and the suf fer* > bt comes dizzy. When the knees trembli it is due to the nervous shock produced in the cerebellum. \ll the nerves and muscles are thrown in to atonic contractions and relaxations, and the knees appear to give away. N’atisea is also caused by the 'physio logical change that takes place in the brain. There is a pressure of blood there, ind the stomach, responding, tries to empty itself. According to the profit-and-loss account of the war. Spain is "shy” two fleets, one army, the Philippines, the Ladrone Is lands and a big slice of if'uiba. Cadiz. Cadiz has been considered the key to Spain, It is one of three cities on which Charles V. recommendend i’hilip to keep an eye. Once upon a time the latter prepared a tleet there. Its de.-'tin ition was England. Its object was to punish Elizabeth for her wicked i£)fus.al .to marry. But the lady was highly statcgic. IShe knew a trick worth two of that. ißcleigh, Essex and other gentlemen adventurers and choice ■persons were sent in advance to ar£ue. They took with over 7,000 pikemen, more than 6,000 cantioniers and 150 sail. On Essex was enjoined the duty of not ex posing himself to danger. For the rest there were common prayers twice daily ind a gennral inlri.ition against swearing, brawling and diceiug, likewise against picking and stealing. When the fleet reached Cadiz the harbor was found fully furnished with men-of war. galleys, galleons, merchantmen and caracl.s. Thin the historic fight was pulled off. Tlu re was punching of the galleys, the hulling of the men-of-war, the scurrying, the scuttling, the the attack by land and sea, the storming of the citadels, a fall which folione cd. a sack iwhich ensued and the reduction of Cadiz to a heap of Cinders on a wreck-strewn shore. Many choice persons were knighted on the spat. Otih rs ware allowed to ransom their prisoners for all they were worth. Those were the 00. l old days. But not for Philip. His part of the entertainment cost him 20,000,- ‘l'o do. .its and a great dial of his desire to punish the contumacious Queen. Ignorance is the great drawback of the Spanish people. If Blanco’s soldiers only knew that the sailors captured from Cer vera's vessels are now living at Ports mouth on roast beef and fresh vegetables, a general surrender would be*the result. And the question now arises, not jocu larly, but seriously: “'What would have happened had the Oregon in its famous 'round-the-iHorn trip encountered Cer vera’s fleet?” Why, the Oregon would have whipped the whole Spanish squadron. The Spanish, Figaro, speaking of 'Amer ican arms, said: “The Americans are merely apprentices in the art of war." Now. the Figaro should send a marked copy of that edition to iMontojo, Cervera and Toral and then “swear off.” Buiv t *»< ms.

On the contrary, if she suffers from weakness or disease of the distinctly feminine organs, if she rides, at all. such exercise should be very sparingly indulged in. Women are peculiarly constituted and their general health is peculiarly dependent upon the health of the specially feminine organism. It is the health of these delicate and im portant parts that “makes the wheels of general health go round.” Their strength and vigor are as important to a woman as a mainspring to a watch, or a sprocket and chain to a bicvelc. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is’the best of aW medicines for delicate women. It makes them strong where they most need strength. Taken during the “interesting interval,' it ban ishes the usual squeamishness and makes baby’s admission to the world easy and al most painless. It fits a woman for in-door work and out-door sports. Honest druggists don’t advise substitutes. “ I cannot say enough in praise of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, as it has undoubtedly saved my life,” writes Mrs. Florence Hunter, of Corley, Logan Co., Ark. “ I miscarried four times; could get no medicine to do me any good. I tried the ‘ Favorite Prescription ’ and after taking several bottles, 1 made my husband a present of a fine girl. I think it is the best medicine in the world.” A man or woman who neglects constipa tion suffers from slow poisoning.
