Wash-iigton, July 9.—"Up to thistime the war and navy department of-ficials have considered only two fac-tors in the coming joint army andnaval maneuvers on the Atlantic coastin September—the invading and de-fending forces.

Dozens of these machines are now us-ed by residents of the islands, includ-ing several natives, whose apprecia-tion of the machine's 'advantages in-creases constantly.' Indeed, in Queopinion of those who should know,the automobile is playing an exceed-ingly important part in, the settte-ment and development, of the archi-pelago.

The influence of tljis modfera convey-ance, however, iB no less potent on thisside of the Atlantic than it is In theOrient, tan a an interesting illustrationof this fact ia to be found on the is-land of Porto Rico. A correspondentof the Automobile Magazine describes,In Its current number, the progress, ofthe automobile in Porto Rico, wherethe conditions are such, that otheragents of travel are altogether inad-equate to tbe inhabitants' needs. Theisland is sadly destitute of good roads,and traveling: by stage coach, or inthe two-wheeled carriages commonlyused is, necessarily,-slow and'-'tiresome.

•Since Porto Rico came under Amer-ican control highway improvement inthe island has been steady and rapid.Not only have the old thoroughfaresbeen overhauled, but many new oneshave been made, connecting the larg-er towns and villages. One of themost notable of these was opened lastspring. It was built under Americansupervision and extends from Ponceto Arecibo, a distance of about 60miles. "This road," says the author-ity referred to, "will ;be, in all re-spects, as fine as the main highwaybuilt by the Spaniards"—meaning the
