statistical report on the trade of Porto Rico ,
just itreluared under the direction of Frank
II. Hitchcock , chief of time foreign markets
section of the Agricultural department , anti
approved by Secretary , t'iieon , Is of unusual
interest. It shows for th" firat timne the
figures of commerce for 1S16 with Spain's
easternmost West India island ,
During time calendar year 196 the for-
olga trade of Porte Rico , according to the
official returns , attained a total niue of
$16.62 i,120 , exceediag nil previous records ,
amid being a gain In time year of more than
15,000,000. In 1892-J6 ! the total imuuports and
exports had an amunual value of $33,870,535 ,
as against $24,916,217 in 1887-91 , Imports
into I'orto Rico generally have somewhat
exceeded exports , but In 1896 , for the first
time in over a decade , the value of the mer-
chandlso slmippcul to foreign markets was
slightly greater than of time Inuporteth wares.
The exports for 1896 hind a value of $18,341-
4i0 , ( IeCidCdiy the largest on record , while
time Imports for the sante year , $18,282,600 ,
were surpassed only In 1814 , when the foreign
goods received amounted to $19,086,336. The
forelgim trade of Porto Rico is conducted
chiefly with Spain , time United States , Cuba ,
Germany , the United Kingdom and France ,
lmavlmmg cii average annual value of $9,88S , .
074 , which was 2S.80 per cent of the total
valuation placed upon the island's corn-
mnerce. Tile United States ranked second ,
time value of the goods exchanged averag-
hug $6,845,252 a year , or 19.4 per cent of the
total. Cuba's trade with Porto Rico
amounted to 13.41 per cent of the total , hay-
lag an average yearly value ot $4,606,220.
In 1896 , the latest year covered by the
Porto Rican statistics , which Mr. hitchcock
succeeded In obtaining in advance , ImU-
rcctly front the colonial administration of
the island , there were , besides the six
countries cited , nine otber countries with
Which the islanI imad a trade exceeding
$100,000. They follow : British possessions ,
other than East Indies , $2,039,749 ; Italy ,
$1,0i7,843 ; British East Indies , $886,339 ;
Austria-Hungary , $553,783 ; Belgium , $297-
701 ; Argentine , $251,814 ; Uruguay , $223,793 ;

Spain's trade with Porto Rico , according
to Spanish returns. Incrcnsetl in value from
$4,929,779 In 1887 to $12,644,955 in 1896. The
chief gain was made in exports from Spain
to the Island , the value for 1896 amounting
to $7,268,49s , against only $2,411,216 for 1887.
1)uring the same year imports from Porto
Rico advanced fronm $2,518,565 to $5,376,457 ,
Time Isimimucl's exports
Consist almost entirely -
tirely of ngricuhturI products. Of imports
mmuauummfncttmreti articles do not. greatly exceed
the amrricuittmrnl. Agricultural imports in
1895 were valueti at $7,171,352 , made tip
chiefly of rice , wheat , flour and hog iroducts ,
Manufactured imports were valued at
9,664,101 , tue cimief goods being cotton
fabrics , whose inujuorts reached $2,070,667 in

were extensively imported. Moit of the

shipped 1mm 1895 was 40,243,693 pounds and
its value $9,159,985 , while of I'orto Rican
sugar 132,117,277 pounds , with a value of

UNDCI1 MORRO CASTLE , Harbor of
Santiago do Cuba , July 17.-3 p. rn.-Via
I'laya del Este , Province of Santiago do
Cuba , July 17-Delayed In Transmission. )
-At exactly it o'clock this morning the
Spanish flag was lowered from time staff
crowning time heights upon which battered
Morro castle spreads itself halt way , The
lowering of this emiubieni of the defunct
sovereignty of Spain iii this part of time
world was witnessed by a few Spanish and
Anucricamm troops on shore and by the
Bboklyn , Now York , Vixen and Vesuvius ,
iyng within a few hmundreti yards of time
harbor entrance. Almost imnniedlatcly after
the fia was hauled down steam iatmachcs ,
commanded by Lieutenants liobson mind
Pnlnuer , entered time harbor , pemmetrating as
far mis time firimug statlbns of the submarine
imuinos. These mines were judgemh hot to
be so formidable as exaectcd , anti later in
the afternoon they were mmii exploded tinder
the supervision of the Vixen. It was seen
that two mines bad been exiuioded at time
time of time entrance of the Merrimac into
time channel of Santiago harbor , but it is
not thought that either of thcmn had anything -
thing to do with the sinking of the craft ,
Six or seven steamers in the imnrbor fall
as prisoners to the army amid navy. The
Spanish gunboat Alvarez had already been
taken possession of by a prize crew from
time Now York. Time other vessels lie at
tIme otlmer dud of the harbor , at Santiago
proper.
Soon after noon Commodore Schhey , with
Captain Cook of the Brooklyn , Lieutenant
B. % V. Wells , the flag secretary , amid three
Invited corresvondeimts of the Associated
Press , wont into the harbor on a steamn
launch , which moved slowly , in order to
make close observations of the Spanish
forts and batteries. Every one expressed
satisfaction at time fact that Morro castle
was not domolisimed by the bombardment ,
Captain Cook saying : "We need El Morro
as an object lesson and America is rather
shy on ruins , anyhow. "
Morru , A ( giddy Ihhumif ,
Time old forts stand on the bluff , terrace
fashion. From the water's edge to the
cliff there are numerous caves formed by
the action of the waves , and around the
base 1mm the superstructure are not a few
caves made by time navy's projectiles. It
would appear , however , that only one baa-
tlon was knocked to pieces , while time queer
little sentry boxes , dating back to time six-
teenth century , escaped almost intact.
Morro castle is the only imposing fortiflea-
tion in the harbor , amid it is only so in
appearance , slmice not a gun is nioumited
within or on time crumbled walls. In fact ,
nil the batteries , masked and open , divlmm-
dIed in their terror-inspiring qualities as
the inspection grew closer. Crowning the
lull on the west side of time entrance were
time famous six-inch rapid-fire guns from
the Spanisim cruiser Reina Mercedes. These
were ugly looking and dangerous , while
below , on big foundations on the western
shore of the entrance , were some revolving
guns. These were the ones which poured
such a bitter fire imuto time Merrimnac.
Directly east of Morro castle , on time crest
of time plmmteaullke cliff , were six big gumus ,
one or two of whicim have been dismounted.
The Estrchia battery and a small neighbor -
bor further iii showed mme guns , while the
famous Cayo Smith was filled with blue ,
white arid yellow houses situated in groves
of flowering trees , some of the buildings
looking as though they had been time resort
of iieasure-s clcers in happier times. 0th-
ers were hmtmmblc enough in appearance for
fishermen's houses. All were deserted , and ,
strangu to say , not one apparently bad been
totmched by a hostile projectile.
On the inside of the slope and hill to the
westward some Imastily constructed case-
nuales were seen into whIch time Spanish
gunners were wont to retire when our
simips opened fire. When the firing ceased
the gunners haul a few steps only to climb
to tlmcir six-inch raplth-flring guns , which
almost always lived a few spiteful farewell
shots.
AC I'uata Gorda there wore two four-
inch guns , one above the other , neitimer
protected even by sand or earth. These
comnmanded the harbor entrance pretty well ,
but they could be silenced by one well-
directed heavy shell ,
Comnuodore Schlcy has over anti over
again expressed the belief that our fleet
probably could lmave eimtercl the harbor
without time loss of a single simip. Time
mines nmigimt have stopped ingress by sink-
hag time leading simip , but timis Is tIme chance
of war , and muot so grave as many taken
uhmring the clvii strife , nor as serious as
would have been the situatIon had there
heemm good batteries properly manned In
the harbor.

Conmmodoro Schley's party first steamed
around the wreck of the Reina Mercedes ,
wimich lies with its bow pointed toward time
city. It hind a list to starboard and rested
on a reef near time foot of Morro cliff. Time
cruiser was sunk to the upper theck , on
which one six-inch gun remained , One
torpedo tube was loaded and time auxiliary
battery scented in place. Evidently the
crow of time Remit Mercedes left it In a
Imurry. This is less to be wondered at
when It Is noted that there were great gaps
in its sides , showing where two twelve antI

gloomy. Comnmodore Sclmhey was hmls own

to point out time route to the six-incim battery -
tery on time west hull ho said there aas

there was over steep , rocky and dimcult
