Excerpt from Puerto Rico: Embracing the Reports of Brig. Gen. Geo. W. Davis, Military Governor, and Reports on the Districts of Arecibo, Aguadilla, Cayey, Humacao, Mayaguez, Ponce, San Juan, Vieques, and the Subdistrict of San German; Arranged by Topics
Sir: In compliance with the requirements of Circular No. 10, Divi '81011 of Customs and Insular Affairs, dated March 25, 1899, I have the honor to transmit the reports of Capt. A. C. Macomb, district of Arecibo; Maj. F. W. Mansfield, district of Aguadilla; Capt. F. W. Foster, district of Cayey; Capt. C. E. Dentler, district of Humacao; Maj. Earl D. Thomas, district of Mayaguez; First Lieut. H. E. Eames, district of Ponce; First Lieut. James J. Hornbrook, district of San German; First Lieut. A. C. Blunt, district of San Juan; Capt. Z. B. Vance, district of Vieques.
I regret that these reports could not be sooner transmitted, but my time has been so constantly absorbed with a multitude of pressing daily duties that I have not been able to make the presentation.
The following comments have 'been prepared by Maj. William A. Glassford, U. S. V., and will also be found in my annual report to the adjutant-general of the Army, dated August 15, 1899, and which I adopt as my own.
Since this memorandum was prepared the island was visited by a storm of exceptional violence, which has devastated a large part of the same and has destroyed a large amount of property. The imme diate effect is to render homeless and destitute a large number of human beings. The incidental effect is to curtail importations, there fore the revenue. It is now a serious problem, the raising of revenues adequate to the maintenance of orderly government.
The transition through which the island is passing, that is. The change of governmental methods from Spanish to American, was progressing satisfactorily, but the situation was vastly complicated by the destruction, in a few hours, of more than half the producing power of the people and their capacity for self-support for the time being.
