HOLLAND IN THE WEST INDIES
Green and Yellow nnd Rod Curocoa
nd Its Qunint Inhabitants.
From tho New York Sun,
Tho nppcaranco of the island of Cur
acoa Is disappointing to the tourist
who expects to And there tho tropical
beauty for which many of the West
Indian Islands are famous. He sees in
stead, as his southward-bound steamer
skirts along Its shores, a succession
of flat-topped hills, brilliantly green,
with u low growth of vegetation, above
which rises here and there a solitary
dwarfish, twisted tree growing on the
sloping hillsides and looking like a
gnarled apple tree. The monotony of
the scenery is occasionally broken by
a gllmjise of red-tiled houses or a
white church steeple rising nbovo a
mass of foliage In a distant valley.
Now and then, In n niche of rocky
coast line, a little Sleepy Hollow vil
lage parades Its gayly painted fishing
boats on its strip of sandy beech.
Tho town of Wlllcmstad, or Cura
coa, Is built on both sides of a narrow
channel connecting tho sea with the
lagoon which forms a harbor. The en
trance to this passage Is defended by
a low-walled white fort on either hand:
its banks are bulkhcaded, and form
quays lined with old gable-ended lime
stone Dutch warehouses. Hero ship
ping Is moored and the business of tho
port conducted. This part of tho town
is an exact reproduction of a small
Dutch seaport. Its houses and ware
houses are colored, like a child's toy
city, green and yellow predominat
ing, and green nnd yellow nro many
of the mints thnt skim over tho clear
bluish-green water which ro'lects a
sky of tho same hue. Tho tail, lithe
figures of the negro boatmen, In som
breros and wldo scarlet sashes, stand
out In strong relief against the glow
ing background.
Flocks of white pigeons flutter and
coo over tho weather-stained tile roofs
of ' Iridescent hues. Plump Dutch
maidens in white dresses, human coun
terparts ( the pigeons, gather In tho
evening upon their high fatoops to en
Joy the cool breeze blowing nt night
fall over the low hills of tho Island.
Often the buxom mother of the family
makes one of the party, nnd a little
later the father, good-natured nnd
slow-moving, brings his chair to tho
door to Join the group which sits chat
ting in the gathering shadows, a pic
ture of domestic peace and content
ment. Knots of negro women gather on the
quays In the brief, crimson afterglow,
waiting for the boatmen to answer
their signals to be rowed ncrosr the
channel. The old women are coarse In
form nnd feature and are often as
black as ebony: but the younger ones
have tall, willowy figures, smaller feat
ures, and complexions of the hue of
bronze. They wear a dress of light
blue, or pink preferably, with a re
bozo of contrasting colors thrown
across their shoulders. Largo gold
hoops hang In their ears and two or
thre necklacs and silver and bead
bracelets are part of their customs. A
cigarette stuck between their lips gives
them an air of admirable nonchalance.
They talk and laugh continually, show
ing even, white teeth.
The streets of the city are for the
most part narrow and winding, but
owing to tho Dutch population thoy
ale more cleanly than in other West
Indian towns. By far the greater part
of the Inhibltants are of Mack or
mixed blood, yet the indication seems
to be that they are contlnunlly grow
ing whiter. A little way back from
the street which winds up the hill
side back of the town stand, here und
there, the old square Dutch houses
of the wealthier inhabitants, surround
ed by flowering trees and shrubs and
Inclosed by limestone wal's. Grotes
que carved heads appear above the
heavy wide-panelled doors of some of
these houses. During the day they
arc closed against sunlight and dust,
giving the stieet an air of sombre and
rigid cxcluslveness. In the moonlight
they wake to a vague s-oit of life. The
quaint ornamental heads leer in the
rifts of light which fall bftween blos
soming olearders. Through doors and
windows, left open to the cool night
air, wide, lofty rooms with pieces of
heavy antique furniture and orna
ments of bygone days are seen. Occa
sionally the faint tinkle of a piano Is
heard, but tho quiet Is almost oppres
sive. In the negro part of the town there
Is always life and noise. The sharp
squeaKlng of a fiddle comes from a lit
tle dance hall where a ball is In pro
gress, and a crowd Is gathered around
the open doorway and In front of the
small square opening which serves as
a window.
Spanish or a dialect of that language
Is generally spoken In Curocoa, but
many of the natives have picked up
enough English from tho American sea
men who visit the port to make them
selves understood. Gayly colored bas
kets which tho negroes weave for sale
seem to be the most characteristic sou
venir of tho Island. These are mads
of different sizes, some of them ns
large as barrels, and are sometimes
used In traelllng as a substitute for
trunks. If you nro once suspected of
n weakness for mementos you will be
beset with venders of all sorts, and
boxes, baskets, corals, shells and
cages c.f screaming paroquets will be
thrust undar your nose at every step.
NO TORPEDO BOATS.
Commodore Watson's New Fleet Has
Not One Assigned to It.
From tho Cleveland Leader.
The plans of the Navy department
for the raid upon the Spanish coast do
not contemplate the use of a single
torpedo boat or torpedo vessel of any
kind in Commodore Watson's squad
ron. In the light of events in the West
Indies It Is nppurent that none will be
needed to fight Spanish war vessels,
big or little, and, of course, torpedo
boats cannot harm forts on land. The
little craft are simply a drag on the
operations of a squadron going far
from home.
Still the fact that a strong force ot
American cruisers, battleships and coal
vessels Is to bo sent to the coast o
Spain, where then: are many torpedo
boat destroyers, entirely without tor
pedo vessels of its own, is a striking
Illustration of the effect of the fight
off Santiago upon the views of naval
experts, Three months ago nn such
venture would have been seriously con
sidered at AVashlngton. Then It would
have been argued that tho Spanish
torpedo boats might annihilate more
battleships and cruisers than Watson
will have under his command. No one
dreams of such a thing now.

LAYING OF CAPITOL
CORNER STONE
Concluded from Pago 2.
dellveranco then mado by Govornor Cur
tin, will find every Issuo of the war clear
ly defined; every duty of tho state con
cisely presented, and tho final Judgment
of the American people given in faultless
prophecy. From tho time that the Itsuo
of war was forced upon us unlit Appo
mattox ended tho crimson story, thero
was not a material departure from tho
attitude assumed by Pennsylvania.
And hero is our historic aottysbu.vr,
tthoro more thin lO.Ouu men In bluo and
gray fell In defenso of their faith, and
the names of Mradc, of Hancock and of
Reynolds and ot many oiherd of lesser
magnitude, but of tt,tial coumgo and pa
triotism, tell how grandly Pennsylvania
bore her part In tho decisive battle of tho
war. Ther wero other bloody tHnigglos,
but Appomattox was only tho echo of
Gettysburg.
When It Is remembered that our state
furnished 2.13,000 men who were mustered
Into tho military service nt urlous tlr.es
during our civil war, and that when
peace camo over 03,000 wero numbered
with tho dead who had fallen clad in their
country's blue, it must be conceded that
wc'clnnd In tho front of all In our heroism
and sacrifice to prcsctve tho Union.
HEROIC IN PEACE.
Heroic and grand as Pennsylvania was
In war, her veterans have been heroic In
peace. It wns tho Philadelphia Urlgudo
that stood tho shock of Pickett's charge
in the Bloody Anglo at Gettysburg, and
the survivors of that brlgado were tho
first to Invite und wclcomo the survivors
of Plcketfs division on their old battle-
Held to meet In fraternal brotherhood.
That was the llrst demonstration of tho
bravo men who woru the bluo and the
gray to teach the country and the world
that not only had the war ended, but that
peace had como and given tho people of
tho North and South a common country,
n common brotherhood ond a common
ling; and tho bloody battlo of Santiago,
In which tho Ccnfedernto trccper led tho
front lino as major geneial, with Leo and
Hutlcr and Ottcs and Rotser ready to
offer their lives in defense of the Stars
and Stripes, tells how tompletely tho bit
terness of war has perished; how wo nro
again one people from Eastern to West
ern sea, from Northern Lake to Southern
Gulf.
Wo must not distrust fiee Institutions
becauso they are rot faultless. The sun
with all Its bcntlccnt olllces is not un
spotted. Tho rose with Its matchless
beauty and fragrance has Its thorns, and
thero Is not In all anlmato creation and
action on cxamplar ot perfection. I
havo faith In tho American people. I
have faith in the sovereign citizenship of
Pennsylvania, and I know that her peo
ple, tolerant and foreboarlng as they may
be, will In the fullness of duty correct tho
errors ot rulers and purify the leadership
of parties.
Hero la tho structure whoso corner
stone wo have laid must be the Illustra
tion of tho courage and fidelity of our
sovereign citizenship, or ot Its forgetful
ness of Its highest duties. Thero cannot
bo a bad law eracted In this temple
wtbout reflecting its dligrnco back upon
fvery citizen of the state. There cannot
be n prollgate mcasuro successful hero
that will not bo a reproach to every voter,
Thero cannot be dishonor In any depart
ment of our stf tc government that does
not cast Its baleful shadows upon tho
homo of every citizen; and In erecting
this new sanctuary for tho duties ot our
li'Alslatora It Is filing that we should lm
pioss on tho sovereign citizenship of this
uirlvnlPil commonwealth the sacred duty
of mantalnlng free government in its
purity and legislating wlsoly In faithful
reflex of the Integrity and patriotism of
our people.
NEW EPOCH HAS COME.
A now epoch has come upon us by our
war with Spain, nnd It brings a new de
parture us Inexorable as tho law of gravi
tation. Our Pennsylvania soldiers aro
with tho army and navy In every for
eign clime whero a hostilo flag Is found.
They aro In tho far East under tho
burning suns of tho anarchy-ridden Phil
ippines. They wero In tho heroic strug
gle that won the llrst victory In Cuba and
a gallant Pennsylvania la leading the
advance In Porto Rico, while other Penn
sylvania regiments aro equipped nnd Im
patient to get to tho front. They are, in
common with their fellow-soldiers from
North and Scuth, working out tho now
destiny thai no human agency has al
lotted to us.
Behind them they hear tho cry of Im
perialism from the halting conservntlvo
as It Is heard in every stage of progress
in tho history of tho republic. It as
sailed Jefferson with bitterness when ho
iicquired Loulslnnna, now the heart of
this great nation with its family of
states. It assailed the purchase of Flori
da with equal vehemence. It denounced
tho Gadsden treaty In unsparing terms
and today it takes up the cry ot Im
perialism to halt this nation In its sub
llmcst duty and clearest destiny.
Wo did not make war. Wo pleaded
long with Spain to end her fiendish bar
barism In Cuba, and wo fed her hungr
when Spain herself was devastating tho
homes of her leople; but despotism al
ways defeats Itself In tho end, and when
murderous treachery gavo us the appall
ing tragedy of tho Maine, In which 2C0
of our bravo sailors wero murdered with
out a note of warning, tho cup of for
bearance was filled to overflowing, und
war camo becauso tho sovereign citizen
ship ot tho nation demanded it.
OUR IMPERIALISM.
The Fame supremo power that demand
ed this war will demand tho complete ful
fillment of Its purpose. It will demand
In tones which none can misunderstand
and which no power or party can bo
strong enough to disregard, that tho
United States flag shall never be furled In
any Spanish ptovlnco where It has been
planted by tho heroism of our army and
navy.
Call It Imperialism If you will; but it Is
not tho Imperialism that Is Inspired by
tho lust of conquest. It is the higher and
nobler Imperialism that voices the sov
ereign power of this nation, nnd demanls
tho extension of our flag ond authority
over tho provinces of Spain, solely that
"government of the people, by tho people,
nnd for tho peoplo shall not perish from
the earth."
Such Is the Imperialism that has becomo
Interwoven with tho destiny of our great
free government, and It will bo welcomed
by our people regardless of party lines,
nnd will command tho commendation of
the enllghtcnd powers of the old world, as
It rears for tho guldanco of all, tho
grandest monuments of freedom as the
proclaimed policy and purposo of tho
noblest government ever reared by a
man or blessed by Heaven.
