These persons It was said are rarely untrue to each other. The Puerto Rlcans, the report fiaye, are a kindly, hospitable, polite people, very sociable and always ready to do Americans a friendly service. One of the greatest needs of the Island is e-ald to be good roads. The common eeblmate of Puerto Rkann Is that only one tenth of the cultivable landa are in cultivation at any one time.
