La Paz-Bolivla, South America, .luly 16th, 190S.-Editors Keowee Courier: When I left home I was re quested by several friends to write them something of my trip. and have derided that lt will be much less trou ble to write one letter for your col umns, so they all may read it. In January last B. A. Lowery and myself set sall from New York dur ing the greatest blizzard they had experienced during the past winter. The sea was fairly smooth for the first 36 hours out. However, when opposite Cape Hatteras we ran into a hurricane, which lasted for 30 hours, and lt was during this storm that we "fed the fish" properly-In fact, any one to have seen us would have thought that we were adepts at the art, lt being the only time that either of us was sta-slck during the entire voyage. Great billows, the height of which 1 would not attempt to estimate-(will only say their crests seemed to meet the firmament) -came rolling over us, frequently going entirely over the vessel. Each time that this happened seemed the last, for, of course, the vessel was apparently submerged. Though she was au Inanimate object, lt. appeared that she was endowed with the intel ligence of some superior being, for each time that she came out from her burial of water she seemed the more desperate to ride the crests of the waves, for there was a master hand on the bridge guldb ? lu r on her course. The captain, not trusting the destiny ol' lils ship even for a short while to any of his officers, re mained on his feet, clinging to the railing, throughout the entire 36 hours, shouting lils commands or giving them by other signals used on vessels. At the end of the time, when the sea became loss turbulent, he came down a thoroughly drenched, hungry and completely exhausted man, and received the congratula tions and sincere thanks of all pas sengers on board for the masterly manner In which he had managed his vessel. In the midst of the storm, how ever, our steerage was lu some way broken. We were Immediately toss ed Into the trough of the sea. and remained entirely at her mercy for some two hours, until they repaired the damage. Then lt was that every wave that came, lt seemed, would dash her to pieces. She creaked and groaned under their lashing. Now pandemonium reigned among the ship's crow. The yelling of those Dutchmen at each other could be heard on every side. This, with the rattling of broken dishes, caused by the rocking of the vessel, would cause one to think that bedlam had been turned loose. lt was during this stage of the storm that one could not sit, stand or Ile down without hold ing fast to something stable. I was sitting In the smoking room when a gentleman arose and attempted to cross the room. The boat gave a lurch and sent him sprawling entire ly across the room, through the door, (taking lt with him, though, of course, he didn't intend to) across the deck, and he was prevented from going overboard only by the Iron rail ing around the deck. I proceeded to crawl OUt to him in order to render what assistance I could, for I was certain I would find him with hones fractured, from the force with which he j; -sed through the door. To my utter astonishment, rnd his entire gratification, he was i. t Injured other than some pretty severe bruises. Of course every one on board was sea-sick, Including the majority of the Ship's crew. In conversing with the captain, after lt was all over, he told me that this storm was the worst he had encountered within five years. Two days later we sighted the Is land of San Salvador, where Colum bus first landed, nnd I doubt not but that we were as rejoiced to see lt as he and his erew were, for this was the first land we had sighted since leaving New York, though we steam ed by without stopping.

The natives (negroes) bring them on board for sale when they have any, but this morning none were to be had. The afternoon was spent In steaming through the windward passage. Next morning when I awoke, looking through my window to the north, I beheld mountains covered with green foliage. In a few minutes I was on deck and learned that it was across these same mountains our own Victor niue went on foot, imperiling his own life at every step, but not re turning until he saw floating in San tiago Bay the Spanish squadron; his report of this fact leading to Admiral Schley's brilliant naval victory some days later. It ls the Southern coast of Cuba along which we are now steaming, the entrance to the harbor of Santiago being plainly discernable, and some of the hulks of the Spanish fleet ure to be seen here yet. Sundown brought us to the quaint city of Montego Hay, on the Island of Jamaica. The bay Itself ls quite beautiful, the water In Its unusual clearness reminding me forcibly of our limpid onie Ridge streams, for great schools of fish could be seen there at a depth of from 20 to 30 feet. I don't think I ever saw a pret tier sheet of water than this, sur rounded as lt ls on three sides by mountains o? considerable altitude, being covered with luxuriant tropi cal foliage. Particularly to be noted along the shore line were the great cocoanut trees, palms and bananas. We went ashore here and spent the morning wandering through the mar ket, which ls very similar to the mar kets at Baltimore, New Orleans and other cities of the States, though I did find that they had their tobacco twisted Into ropes, and they sold this by the yard. From here we passed out into the streets, which are very narrow, the houses being built straight up from the streets. It seemed so strange that such should be the custom, when In i uch a cli mate they could have such magnifi cent yards and lawns, as I saw flow ers of every color, and I suppose, variety blooming In great profusion. Those to whom a summer climate ap peals. I should think, would find this an ideal spot, as the temperature the day we were there (February 1st) was about like our Juno days. This seemed very strange after leaving twelve inches of snow and sleet in New York. The population of the town ls 8.000, only 100 of whom are white people, 75 of them Jews, the remainder being negroes. From here we steamed around the Island to the city of Kingston, which I has 50,000 people and ls the chief city of the Island, though its loca tion is not nearly so beautiful as that of Montego Bay. We saw on every side evidences of the terrible earth quake they experienced twelve months previous, many walls being entirely demolished, while others wen? leaning In various directions, and still others rent with great cracks. In the suburbs of Kingston ls quite an up-to-date hotel, which ls usually tilled in the winter senson with New York and London tourists. On all sides were to be seen all varie, ties of tropical fruits, which could he purchased for a mere trifle. Two days' sailing brought us to Colon. Panama, and the Canal Zone. This Impressed me as being by far the most favorable place for stopping I have seen ?Ince leaving the United States. The government has had erected at convenient places camps, or rather towns. These consist of neat cottages, with an occasional hotel, the porches and windows of which are all screened, all being lighted with electricity. Here and there walks have been graded, and at Cristobal I saw what I conside one of the most beautiful driveways I have ever seen, lt being lined at regular intervals on either sido with cocoanut 'trees. Of course all the dense tropical foliage hos been cut away, and here and there, on elevat ed spots along the route, could be seen the Immense petroleum tanks.

At the city of Panama, which is a much more progressive town lu every way than Colon, we boarded the Steamship Peru, thus beginning our voyage down the west coast of South America, and soon decided that the Pacific Ocean was named proper ly, for there was scarcely a ripple all the Way down, so much more peaceful lt is than the Atlantic. Our next stop was Guyacjuil, the port for the Republic of Ecuador. Here we were not allowed to go ashore on account of the quarantine which existed at Lima, for yellow fever and Bubonic plague were both holding carnival In the city, but, as for that matter, 1 am told that both are plentiful In Guyaqull twelve months In the year. And mosquitoes! We barred our window and door, ?ind still they came after us with lanterns. I was told by a locomotive engineer who had employment tb?;re on the Guyaqull and Quito Railroad that the company were greatly annoyed by the mosquitoes constant ly puncturing holes in the boilers of their locomotives. I can't vouch for the truthfulness of this story, but I do say that some of them looked to be as large as grasshoppers. On clear days the volcano Catapaxi ls to be seen from here. She is con stantly belching forth fire and ashes, and I was told by a citizen of Ecua dor that he had frequently read a newspaper 2 5 miles away by the light from it. We are next at Payta, in Northern Peru, lt Is the port for the famous Plura Valley, and lt is noted for its shipments of Panama hats. By the way, cotton ls lndl^roous to this sec tion of Peru, and ,vhlle many foreign varieties have been cultivated here, none do so well, nor ls the product so valuable, as the native tree, for lt is truly a tree from 15 to 20 feet In height. I havo had the privilege of seeing some of lt growing. Ano ther peculiarity of the country In which it grows ls that it rains there only once in each ten years, so I was informed by the Secretary of Agri culture of Peru, who happened to be on the boat. He also told me that they had tried to Introduce it ir other sections of the country, but that lt had always been a failure, so it "'.ems that just this amount of rain fall ls peculiarly adapted to Its prop agation. The product is a brown fibre, and ls used by the peasants in their domestic weaving. An export trade In the >*aw product has also been established. The cotton crop is regarded as one of Peru's most valuable resources, though I nm in formed that the total crop ls approxi mately only about, two per cent of that of the State of Mississippi. Now on to Callao, but it might be interesting to note in passing that we came in view of a couple of whales, one a monster fish; also saw the largest flock of feathered birds lt has ever been my privilege to see. lt being a flock of pelicans eight or ten miles In length, flying out to sea, and there were thousands. I was informed by this same Peruvian Secretary that these birds were the source of the far-famed Peruvian fer tilizers. Callao Is the principal port of Peru. Because of its central loca tion and excellent harbor, lt Is through this port that most of the nountry's products are exported, and Its Imports distributed. Located as lt is so near the equator, one would expect a climate similar to that, of , Dints located at an equal distance from tho equator on the Atlantic. Not so, for lt ls not tropical either In appearance or climate, the latter be ing modified by the dry trade winds, hut more especially by the cold Hum boldt current sweeping up the coast from the Antarctic regions.

We remained in port three or four days, this giving us ample time to visit Limn, the capital, only seven miles distant. The city claims a pop ulation of 100,000, and shows more signs of progress, with her 30 miles of electric street railway, than any city I have seen in South America. She is justly proud of what she claims to be the first institution of learning built on the Western hemi sphere--the University of San Mar cos. She also boasts of other his toric institutions, yet with all of her boasted institutions she ls 100 years behind the civilized world, lt is In one of the old cathedrals here that the bones of Plazzaro, the Spanish priest-sold 1er who took by conquest all the west coast from the Incas abottC the time Cortez was taking Mexico, are to ht seen. It was at Lima we witnessed our first bull fight, and I think it was my last, for I don't care for the sport, If it may be styled as such. We saw seven bulls and two horses killed. After thoroughly exciting the bull with red Hags, ponchas, etc., they then infuriate him still the more by puncturing his hide with banderillas, which are left hanging there. Each time this is done the multitude g^es wild with applause, throwing their hats, canes, etc., Into the ring. The only time I felt like applauding was when a bull made a cha- ge on a pica dore and knocked him off of his horse. About six of us Americans were together when this happened and we raised from our seats and gave a good North American yell. Every one around us looked at us In utter amazement, but little did we care. I was told that some time ago they had a bull which killed seven men before "he blt the dust." I remarked that he should have been saved, as more of his kind are need ed to put a stop to the practice. Af ter the bull ls thoroughly worried out, the matador walks directly in front of him, and puts an end to him by piercing him between the shold ers with a sword. But the most hor rible thing connected with the bull ring is the manner In which the horses are treated, being brought In blindfolded. Some one of the mata dors will shake a red flag at the bull and dart behind a horse. Of course the bull charges on the horse, and I saw great holes torn open in their abdomens, their Intestines rolling out and trailing In the dust of the arena. The whole thing was most horrible to behold. When we returned to Callao three of our warships had arrived, being a part of tho fleet which had come through the Straits of Magellan, and 1 wish to say that of all scenes of land or sea, which lt has been my privilege of viewing since leaving home, none was half so beautiful to me as the flag of my country, ns lt floated from the masts of those war dogs In the port of a foreign country. Again we embark and start on our southern journey, calling at several uninteresting smaller ports-uninter esting except In the manner they loaded their cargoes on the ship. None of them has any harbor or docks. Consequently our steamer would anchor about a mlle out from shore, and they would come rowing their cargoes out to us in boats, which are perfect counterparts In every respect of the old Oell fleets, described to us In the histories of ancient Rome. Rather interesting at the same time cruel-was the manner In which thoy loaded cattle. They would throw a rope around the horns; this was fastened to a der rick, the engine started, and they were literally lifted into the ship by their horns. Leaving the steamer at Moliendo, taking the Peruvian Southern Rail way, which conveyed us a cross the desert, a very desolate, barren and uninteresting region, except for the sand crescents. These were perfect crescents of sand, varying in size, some Of them being three to four hundred feet in length on the con cave side, formed by the shifting of County Supervisor Coi X a c tn ? 2 7 4 1 2 C 8 18 83' 1 16 3 3 fi 10 fi 3 18 Kfi 7 17 fi 1 1 9 2 1 .l l B 3 fi 1 1 *2 1 1 fi 5 ii 24 r? 3 6 8 5 1 ll 6 18 23 ir? 2 6 17 26 18 4 ?? 30 1 2 1 ir? 33 20 ir? 12 23 50 34 69 6 9 ir? 3 3 fi 4 8 fi 2", 1 18 ll fi 2 0 49 3 fi 1 3 99 46 12 13 13 2 35 58 43 208 26 3 22 18 8 103 1 15 7 7 17 28 16 54 i 5 26 3 81 31 33 7 324| isl 142 951 56 527'1148 16 22 30 22 12 6 36 *3 2 24 16 59 17 8 26 60 19 16 37 12 27 1 3 the winds. There were thousands of these, they being bounded on the north and south only by the horizon, while in the far distant east the snow capped Andes loomed up on the hori zon. After mauy windings up their sides, at places being able to see six tracks below, some of them only a stone's throw apart, and pnssing along the brink of canyons, we ar rived at Auqulpa, 7,r?00 feet above the sea, the second city in Peru, it being noted only for its earthquakes, as hardly 4 8 hours passes without a tremor, the city during its history having been twice totally destroyed. But this Is not to be wondered nt when two volcanoes are not far dis tant, one of which is plainly visible from the city. After spending a day here we climbed higher In the Andes, cross ing at Cordilleras at an elevation of 14.666 feet. At the very alto ls lo cated Lake Caclpascaua, a considera ble sheet of water, said to be the highest lake in the world, lt was here that I thought of my good friends. Col. N. B. Cary and Major Robert Vernor, for this lake affords excellent Ashing, and next to the stars and stripes the scene here was the grandest, for the earth was robed J in green from the water's edg' up to the very snow which capped the sur rounding peaks, though I wa-? told by a gentleman on board that the grass lasted here only a few days during the year. Nightfall, and we are on the shores of Lake Titicaca, the highest body of navigable warer In the world (12,500 feet), being about the size of Lake Erle, and supposed to be situated In the crater of an extinct volcano. Next morning we awoke In Bolivia, the roof of the world, land nearest heaven's heights, and in many respects closest to Hades' depths. Situated as Bolivia is. In the very heart of the tropics, one would na turally regard lt as hoing a distinct ly tropical countr'-, but the country has such a peculiar configuration that every known climate I? found within the borders of the Republic, from the swamps of the Amazonian and Pilcomayan jungles, giving off their miasmlc vapors, to the frigid Antarctic blasts, sweeping across her eternally covered snow-capped moun tains. This ls due to the great alti tude of the Andes, which are divided into two ranges, passing North and South, enclosing between them the gr*?at Pampas of Eastern Bolivia. These Pampas with Tibet, if I mis take not, have the distinction of be ing the highest inhabited regions of the world. Eastward of the Cordil leras Hes Bolivia's portion of the Amazonian and Pilcomayan basins. This region ls indeed tropical, por tions of it densely timbered, being watered by the southeast trrfde winds. These winds to a considera ble extent lose their moisture in passing over the cool summits of the Andes. As a consequence the Pam pas'* (my location) have six months cold, dry season, and six months cold, wet season. It is simply cold in the shade all the time, though out In the sunshine scorching hot; In fact, the climate In this section could not be worse were lt made to order. The thermometer at this season usually registering 85 to 90 degrees Fahren heit at 2 p. m. and 15 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit at 5 a. m. It is not unu sual for lt to reach zero dally in tho morning, but strange to sny none of the houses have any provision for heating, for the simple reason they hnve no fuel other than the dung of the Llama. The supply being limited lt ls saved for cooking purposes. There ls no timber nor anything green growing up here-only a few Irish potatoes, which aro very small, and some cebada, which never matines, the season being too short. AU the plowing ls done with wooden plows, to which are hitched two oxen, they being fastened to the plow by the horns. Everything Is done here in a very primeval way.
