This 1s a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before 1t was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 
to make the world’s books discoverable online. 


It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that’s often difficult to discover. 


Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book’s long journey from the 
publisher to a library and finally to you. 


Usage guidelines 


Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the 
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work 1s expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to 
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying. 


We also ask that you: 


+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for 
personal, non-commercial purposes. 


+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google’s system: If you are conducting research on machine 
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the 
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help. 


+ Maintain attribution The Google “watermark” you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find 
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it. 


+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just 
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other 
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can’t offer guidance on whether any specific use of 
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book’s appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner 
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe. 


About Google Book Search 


Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and to make it universally accessible and useful. Google Book Search helps readers 
discover the world’s books while helping authors and publishers reach new audiences. You can search through the full text of this book on the web

American Republics, it will assume no pecuniary responsibility on account of inaccuracies that may 
occur therein.

E 


in compliance with the request of many merchants and manufacturers who 
desire to send Catalogues and Circulars to importers and dealers in Mexico, 
Central and South America, the Bureau of the American Republics has under- 
taken to publish a series of Commercial Directories of the several countries and 
colonies. The difficulty of securing the names and addresses of merchants has 
been greater than was anticipated, particularly those in cities and towns where 
there are no consular officers of the United States, and the lists herein given 
will be found incomplete. They are, however, as complete and accurate as the 
Bureau can make them with the present facilities at its command, and will 
doubtless be found useful to those who desire to introduce their wares to the 
knowledge of buyers on the southern continents. Any additions and correc- 
tions for subsequent publications will be appreciated.

While the greatest possible care is taken to insure accuracy in tbe publications of the Bureau of the 
American Republics, it will assume no pecuniary responsibility on account of inaccuracies that may 
occur therein. 


(2) 


In compliance with the request of many merchants and manufacturers who 
desire to send Catalogues and Circulars to importers and dealers in Mexico, 
Central and South America, the Bureau of the American Republics has under- 
taken to publish a series of Commercial Directories of the several countries and 
colonies. The difficulty of securing the names and addresses of merchants has 
been greater than was anticipated, particularly those in cities and towns where 
there are no consular officers of the United States, and the lists herein given 
will be found incomplete. They are, however, as complete and accurate as the 
Bureau can make them with the present facilities at its command, and will 
doubtless be found useful to those who desire to,introduce their wares to the 
knowledge of buyers on the southern continents. Any additions and correc- 
tions for subsequent publications will be appreciated.

While the greatest possible care is taken to insure accuracy in the publications of the Bureau of the 
American Republics, it will assume no pecuniary responsibility on account of inaccuracies that may 
occur therein. 


(2) 


In compliance with the request of many merchants and manufacturers who 
desire to send Catalogues and Circulars to importers and dealers in Mexico, 
Central and South America, the Bureau of the American Republics has under- 
taken to publish a series of Commercial Directories of the several countries and 
colonies. The difficulty of securing the names and addresses of merchants has 
been greater than was anticipated, particularly those in cities and towns where 
there are no consular officers of the United States, and the lists herein given 
will be found incomplete. ‘They are, however, as complete and accurate as the 
Bureau can make them with the present facilities at its command, and will 
doubtless be found useful to those who desire to introduce their wares to the 
knowledge of buyers on the southern continents. Any additions and correc- 
tions for subsequent publications will be appreciated.

OF THE 


BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS 


BuREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS, 
Washington, D. C., October 31, 1891. 
The Honorable, the Secretary of State, 

Sir: I have the honor to submit for your information and 
approval a report of the first year's work of this Bureau, with 
confidence that it has found a field of usefulness in making 
known the resources, the progress, and the commercial op- 
portunities of the Latin-American Republics, and in bringing 
to the attention of their people the advantages offered them 
in the markets of the United States. 

The necessity of such an agency was recognized by the 
recent International American Conference, when, on the 20th 
of March, 1890, by a unanimous vote, it provided for the 
establishment of an association, under the title of “The Inter- 
- national Union of American Republics for the Prompt Collec- 
tion and Distribution of Commercial Information,” to be 
represented at Washington by a Bureau, under the super- 
vision of the Secretary of State, for a period of 10 years; 


and, if found profitable to the nations participating in its ad-

vantages, to be maintained for successive periods of 10 years 
indefinitely. 


THE PLAN AND PURPOSE OF THE BUREAU. 


The purpose of the Bureau, as defined by the Conference, 
is the preparation and publication of bulletins concerning the 
commerce and resources of the American Republics, and 
other information of interest to manufacturers, merchants, 
and shippers. It was also provided that the Bureau should 
at all times be available as a medium of communication for 
persons applying for reasonable information pertaining to 
their customs tariffs and regulations, and to their commerce 


and navigation. 
It was stipulated that the expense of maintaining the Bu- 


reau should not exceed the sum of $36,000 annually, and that 
this expense should be shared by the several Republics in 
proportion to their population. The Government of the 
United States was requested to advance annually this amount 
of money, and upon the rst day of July of each year to assess 
each of the other Governments for its share, according to the 
following estimate:

REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 1 


In accordance with the request of the International Amer- 
ican Conference, the Congress of the United States, in the 
“Act making appropriations for the support of the diplomatic 
and consular service of the United States for the fiscal year 
ending June 30, 1891,” approved July 14, 1890, appropriated 
the sum of $36,000 for the purpose indicated, and the Bureau 
of the American Republics was organized under your super- 
vision. | 

A circular in the Spanish and English languages was is- 
sued by the Department of State, announcing the organization 
of the Bureau and setting forth in detail the purposes for 
which it is intended. Copies of this circular were forwarded 
to commercial organizations throughout the American Re- 
publics, and the number and character of the responses dem- 
onstrated at once the necessity and usefulness of such an 
instrument in promoting commerce by the dissemination of 
information both of a general and specific character. Appli- 
cations for the bulletins of the Bureau were received from the 
United States alone to the number of thirty-eight thousand, 
and a corresponding number were received from the other 


Republics. 


CHARACTER OF INQUIRIES RECEIVED, 


Inquiries for specific information concerning commercial 


matters to the number of seven hundred were received and 
answered during the first four months, and have continued in- 


cessantly. These inquiries come, in the greater part, from 
merchants and manufacturers of the United States who are 
seeking to extend their trade in the southern Republics, and 


8 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS, 


desire information tha: will enable them to do so. Many 
millers, packers of provisions and other food products, makers 
of agricultural and mining machinery and implements, manu- 
facturers of railway supplies, wagons, furniture, paper, hard- 
ware, leather goods, jewelry, drugs and chemicals, and those 
engaged in other lines of industry have sought information 
as to the demand for their productions, the rates of duties 
imposed upon them, and particulars relative to climate, geo- 
graphical and social features which would assist them in 


determining whether their articles are adapted for use in 
those markets, as well as to enable them to modify them in 


such a way as to suit the peculiar conditions of the trade. The 
Bureau has kept in active communication with the various 
lines of steamers specially engaged in American waters, in 
order to reply to the numerous questions about sailing dates, 
freight rates, the ports reached, and the means of interior 
transportation. 


EMIGRATION STIMULATED. 


A large number of letters have also been received from 
persons in Europe, as well as in the United States, who are 
desirous of removing to the southern countries to engage in 
commercial, mechanical, or agricultural’ pursuits, and who 
seek information concerning business opportunities and ad- 
vantages, the demand for skilled and ordinary labor, the wages 
paid, the cost of living, the methods of agriculture, the price 
of lands, the laws governing immigration, the profits derived 
from various crops and the cost of their cultivation, the cost of 
building, the rates of taxation, the protection of personal 


REPORT OF BUREAU OF TIIE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 9 


rights and property, the location of mineral lands and the 
method of obtaining them, the laws governing mines and min- 
ing, the advantages offered for pastoral industry, the value of 
sheep and cattle, the routes of travel, and concerning many 
other topics of a similar character that need not be enume- 
rated; all of which give ample evidence of an awakened in- 
terest in the commerce and the conditions of the neighboring 
countries, that is encouraging to those who are endeavoring 
to promote the social and commercial relations of the Ameri- 
can Republics. 


RAPIDLY INCREASING EXPORT TRADE. 


It is also gratifying to know that this interest is increas- 
ing, and that the information communicated by this Bureau 
has already been the means of extending, to a certain de- 
gree, commercial and social intercourse between the United 
States and the Latin-American nations. This fact is demon- 
strated not only by the rapid growth of exports, but also by 
the long passenger lists of the steamers plying between this 
country and the ports of Central and South Ámerica and by 
the enormous increase in the weight of the mails. Many 
manufacturers of the United States who have never attempted 
to sell merchandise in the southern continent are now send- 
img agents into those markets to introduce their goods, to 
make the acquaintance of importing merchants, and to estab- 
lish permanent agencies and systems of credit. Three new 
lines of steamships have been established between the United 
States and the ports of the southern Republics, and the exist- 
ing companies have been compelled to increase the number 


10 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 


and size of the vessels they have had engaged in the trade 
and to make more frequent voyages to meet the demand for 
freight and passenger accommodation. 

The merchants of Mexico and the cities of Central and 
South America, who have heretofore purchased their goods 
in Europe exclusively, are now coming to the United States 
and invariably discover that they can find here nearly every 
article they need, of a-better quality and at a price as low as 
can be obtained in Great Britain, Germany, and France; and 
the recently negotiated reciprocity arrangements afford them 
advantages that are beginning to be understood and appre- 
ciated. Not long ago the agent of one of the largest establish- 
ments in Brazil, which is operating upon European capital 
and has heretofore obtained its supplies entirely in Great 
Britain, visited the United States on his way to purchase 
goods in Europe. He found that he could do better here, 
both in quality and in price, and went no further. His pur- 
chases, which amounted to several hundred thousand dollars’ 
worth of manufactured merchandise, are now being shipped 
from New York. 


POSTAL, STATISTICS, 


It may not be inappropriate here to call attention to the 
statistics of postal communication between the United States 
and the southern Republics for the last fiscal year, as com- 
pared with those of previous years.

I take the liberty to suggest, at the solicitation of many 
merchants engaged in the trade, that commerce between the 
United. States and the other American Republics can be 
greatly facilitated by the extension of the postal money-order 
and parcel-post systems, which now exist with only a very 
few of them. The lack of direct banking facilities, the high 
rates of exchange, the cost and risk of sending money in the 
mails, and the enormous cost of shipping small packages by 


12 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 


express, practically prohibit what might develop into a large 
and profitable trade if the convenience of forwarding money 
and parcels through the postal service might be afforded. 
This would enable the merchants of the United States to send 
samples of goods ata small cost into the southern markets, 
and thus place a large line of merchandise within the reach of 
buyers who now have access to the manufacturers of such 
articles only through commission houses. 


BULLETINS PUBLISHED DURING THE YEAR. 


The first bulletin of this Bureau was a “Handbook of the 
American Republics” (No. 1), published in January last, 
which was illustrated with maps and charts, and contained 
much information of value, including a review of the proceed- 
ings of the International American Conference; historical 
sketches about America and interesting geographical informa- 
tion; a summary of the credit systems of the American Re- 
publics; a condensation of their trade-mark laws; commercial 
statistics ; a review of the trade in breadstuffs, fruits, nuts, sugar 
and coffee; a table of coinage, weights, and measures; a regis- 
ter of the officials of the American Republics and their diplo- 
matic and consular representatives; their port charges and 
customs regulations; a travelers’ guide; a postal and cable 
guide, etc. 

The second bulletin, “ Handbook of the American Repub- 
lics” (No. 2), is a volume of 486 pages, and contains a concise 
review of the condition and commerce of each of the American 
Republics and colonies; an official register; a list of diplomatic 
and consular officers; the text of the reciprocity arrangement 


REPORT OF BUREAU OF TUE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 13 


with Brazil; a chapter concerning the Latin-American depart- 
ment of the World's Columbian Exposition; important com- 
mercial statistics; the coinage, weights, and measures, the 
patent and trade-mark laws, the port charges, and the consular 
fees and regulations of the American Republics; a travelers’ 
guide; a list of steamship lines; a table of rates of transporta- 
tion; a postal guide, and much other useful information. It 
also contained eighteen maps and illustrations. 

A Spanish translation of this handbook, corrected to Octo- 
ber 1, is now in press and will soon be ready for distribution. 

It is the purpose of the Bureau to republish this handbook 
annually in English and Spanish, revised and corrected to the 
ist of January of each year. 

These publications were followed by a series of bulletins, 
twenty-eight in number to this date, the character of which 
will be shown by the following list: 

1. Handbook of the American Republics (No. 1). 

2. Handbook of the American Republics (No. 2). 

3. Patent and Trade-mark laws of America.

publics.

THE TARIFF CODES AND COMMERCIAL DIRECTORIES. 


The customs tariffs of the several Republics have been 
published in English and Spanish in parallel columns, and that 
of Brazil in English and Portuguese, the rates of duty being 
expressed in the money of each country respectively and also : 
in the money of the United States, calculated upon the rates 
given in the quarterly circular of the Director of the Mint of 
the United States. The series will be continued until it in- 
cludes the tariffs of all the American Republics and colonies, 
when the several bulletins will be bound in a single volume 
for free distribution among manufacturers and merchants in 
the trade. 


REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 15 


The commercial directories are intended for the use of 
manufacturers and merchants in forwarding catalogues and cir- 
culars and in opening correspondence with tradesmen on the 
southern continents ; and the enormous demand for them dem- 
onstrates an eagerness on the part of those for whom they are 
intended to introduce their wares into markets that have hith- 
erto been practically unsought. The directories are necessa- 
rily incomplete, because of the great difficulty in obtaining the 
proper material, but new editions will be issued as circum- 
stances justify, and it is hoped and intended ultimately to se- 
cure complete and accurate lists of all principal merchants in 
Mexico, Central and South America, and the West Indies. 


BULLETINS IN PREPARATION, ' 


The series of handbooks will be continued until it includes 
all of the American Republics and colonies, with accurate maps 
and attractive illustrations. As will be seen from the above 
list, handbooks of Brazil and Mexico have already been pub- 
lished. A handbook of Costa Rica is in press, and similar 
volumes concerning Colombia, Guatemala, Venezuela, and 
Nicaragua are in course of preparation. The other countries 
will be taken up in order. It is gratifying to notice the de- 
mand for these handbooks from the public schools through- 
out the country. In many of them especial attention is now 
being given to the study of South American affairs, but the 
limited funds at the disposal of the Bureau prohibit the publi- 
cation of editions of more than five thousand copies each, 
which must be distributed as impartially as possible through 
eighteen Republics, with a population of 110,000,000. It is 


16 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 


earnestly recommended that special editions be ordered by 
Congress for the use of the schools and libraries of the United 
States. At present the Bureau is able to supply only a very 
small portion of the eleven thousand public libraries through- 
out the country, in each of which there should be at least two 
copies of the several handbooks already issued and those it 
is intended to publish. 

There is also in preparation a bulletin devoted to the trade 
in breadstuffs ; a compilation of the laws of the several Amer- 
ican Republics relating to mines and mining, the sale and 
settlement of the public lands; and the laws relating to immigra- 
tion, which will be published during the coming year. There 
is an enormous demand for information of this character, and 
a considerable portion of the inquiries received by the Bureau 
come from persons in the United States and Europe who are 
attracted by the rich mineral and agricultural resources of the 
southern Republics. 


THE CODE OF NOMENCLATURE, 


The recent International Conference recommended the 
publication of a code of nomenclature of articles of merchan- 
dise exported and imported, which has been undertaken under 
the direction of this Bureau and is now more than half com- 
pleted. This will be a commercial dictionary, containing be- 
tween twenty-five and thirty thousand terms used to desig- 
nate articles of commerce between the American Republics, 
arranged alphabetically, with their equivalents in English, 
Spanish, and Portuguese. Local terms used in the several 
countries to designate the same articles are inserted in smaller 


TO a Dn ra ATAN NS o a 


REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 17 


type in their proper place. At this writing the work has been 
carried to and including the letter ‘‘m” and the proof sheets 
have been read and corrected as far as the letter “h.” 

The necessity and value of this code can be fully realized 
only by those who have had actual experience in commerce 
with people speaking a different language and having their 
own peculiar terms to designate every article of trade; and it 
is frequently the case that the same term that is used to des- 
ignate a particular article in one country is applied to an en- 
tirely different article in another. A merchant in South Amer- 
ica who sends an order to a merchant or manufacturer in the 
United States naturally writes in his own language and uses 
the terms that are common to the country in which he lives. 
The manufacturer in the United States, being unfamiliar with 
that language, is unable to fill the order properly, and that 
fact has been the cause of serious misunderstanding, financial 
loss, and a great obstacle to the extension of trade. It is 
hoped, when the commercial dictionary is completed, to se- 
cure its adoption by the several American Governments as an 
official guide in making out consular invoices and manifests, 
which will relieve merchants and manufacturers of serious 
inconvenience and embarrassment. 

The expense of publication will be so great, however, that 
the free distribution of the volume will scarcely be justified, 
and I take the liberty to recommend that the Public Printer 
be directed to issue an edition of one thousand copies for 
the use of the customs and consular service of the United 
States, five hundred copies to be presented to the Govern- 


ments of the several American Republics, and that he be

18 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 


authorized to furnish copies to the public, on application, at 
the cost of publication, plus 10 per cent. 


INFORMATION FURNISHED THE PRESS, 


Another important duty of this Bureau has been the fur- 
nishing of information conceming the American Republics to 
the press. Manifold copies of paragraphs of interesting cur- 
rent news have been supplied daily to the several press 
associations of the United States, Mexico, Central and South 
America, the West Indies, and Europe during the past year, 
and also to individual newspapers which have applied for 
them, and by this method the public has been kept informed 
of events transpiring throughout the American hemisphere. 
This information has been derived from both official and 
unofficial sources, but has been confined to commercial 
topics, such as the translation or digest of laws or decrees 
important to shippers, merchants, manufacturers, or vessel 
owners; making known discoveries of new agricultural, min- 
eral, and mechanical methods, products, and materials; not- 
ing changes in such executive officials as are of general 
interest, and the movement of trade. All questions of con- 
troversy and political matters have been carefully avoided, 
but an attempt has been made to secure information of com- 
mercial and general importance. In this manner several 
thousand newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic have been 
made instrumental in promoting the commercial and social 
intercourse of the American Republics and in conveying 
intelligence concerning their resources, their condition, and 
their affairs,

The Bureau has already accumulated a valuable library of 
official and general literature concerning those Republics, 
many volumes having been contributed by the several Gov- 
ernments interested, and receives regularly the principal 
periodicals and newspapers published in the Latin-American 
countries and colonies. The latter are kept on file for the 
convenience of the members of the diplomatic corps and 
other persons interested, and are frequently consulted. 

The director of the Bureau has also during the past year 
made a number of public addresses upon topics relating to 
its work, in response to invitations from commercial organ- 
izations and lecture bureaux throughout the country.

ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR AGENCIES IN EUROPE. 


That the importance and influence of this Bureau in the 
promotion of American commerce has been recognized in 
Europe, as well as in Ámerica, is shown by the establishment 
of similar agencies in England and France. In a recent num- 


ber the Panama Star and Herald refers to this fact as follows: 

The several consuls-general of the South American Republics in London 
have inaugurated a movement for the establishment in that city of a bureau 
of information concerning South American affairs similar to the Bureau 


20 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. : 


of the American Republics which was established in Washington on the 
recommendation of the International American Conference and a similar 
bureau which has recently been organized in Paris. The object of this 
bureau, like those in Paris and Washington, is to make known the resources 
and commercial advantages of the Central and South American Republics 
and to furnish specific information on commercial subjects when applied 
for. The gentlemen who have inaugurated this movement in their announce- 
ment say: 

“The advantages conferred on trade through chambers of commerce, 
which have been established in all parts of the world, are universally admitted, 
and there can be no question that the enormous trade which, during the last 
50 years, has arisen between this country and the States of Central and South 
America and Mexico could be still further developed if their products and 
requirements could be brought more directly to the notice of manufacturers 
by means of a chamber of commerce dedicated especially to trade interests 
between Great Britain and those countries.” | 

The States proposed to be represented in the bureau are seventeen in 
number, viz, the Argentine Republic, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa 
Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicara- 
gua, Paraguay, Peru, San Salvador, Uruguay, and Venezuela. The bureau 
will include the following departments : 

1. Reading rooms, with a complete collection of South American papers 
and reviews. , 

2. Library containing the official publications of the South and Central 
American Governments, codes, and other South American works. This 
library would often save merchants from incurring costs and expenses when 
they have legal questions in hand. . 

3. Commercial museums, in which to exhibit the products, etc., of each 
of the seventeen States. These museums will contain the products already 
known and also those not yet introduced to the English market. . 

4. Club room for subscribers, in which light refreshments could be sup- 
plied and the Jatest English and foreign publications on South America 
consulted (books ‘and periodicals). 

5. Review in Spanish for those countries, edited by the chamber of com- 





REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 21 


merce, which would be widely circulated and present to that community 
the advertisements of the English commerce and industry. This review will 
comprise, as far as possible, everything concerning Latin America that is 
moving in the United. Kingdom and in such a way that it might truly be 
called an Anglo-South American repertory of information. 

6. Members and other competent persons will be invited to lecture on 
Spanish-American matters, and arrangements could be made for the recep- 
tion of distinguished individuals connected with these countries. 


LATIN-AMERICAN REPRESENTATION AT THE EXPOSITION. 


Recognizing in the proposed Exposition that is to cele- 
brate the four-hundredth anniversary of the discovery of 
America an unprecedented opportunity to promote social 
and commercial intercourse between the United States and 
the sister Republics, with your approval this Bureau under- 
took the work of interesting the Governments and people of 
Latin America in that great enterprise. Officers of the army 
and navy, selected for their peculiar qualifications, were sent 
as commissioners to the several countries and colonies south 
of the Gulf of Mexico and the Rio Grande to convey letters 
from the President of the United States, inviting them to par- 
ticipate in a commemoration that is of peculiar interest to 
them, and to encourage and aid them .in the preparation of 
exhibits that shall display their resources and products. The 
result has surpassed the most sanguine expectations. The in- 
vitation has been cordially accepted by every Republic and 
colony, commissioners have been appointed, and appro. 
priations have been made to pay the expenses of represen- 
tation that exceed in the aggregate the sum of $2,000,000— 
more than has been provided for the same purpose by the 
States of the United States, with the State of Illinois excepted. 


22 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 


The companies operating lines of steamships between the 
United States and the ports of Latin America have joined 
heartily in the enterprise and have made most generous con- 
cessions in rates of transportation. They have agreed to 
carry free of cost all articles intended for exhibition, with the 
exception of such as may be offered for sale, and will return 
to the port of shipment without charge all that are not dis- 
- posed of at the close of the Exposition. They have agreed, 
also, to reduce their rates for passengers; and it is be- 
lieved that these concessions will induce and enable a very 
large number of the citizens of the southern countries to 
visit the United States during the Exposition. 

Nearly every one of the southern Republics will erect 
upon the grounds of the Exposition a building of its own, 
upon a design typical of its peculiar architecture, and sur- 
round it with practical illustrations of the life and industries 
of its people. Ithas been arranged, also, to secure the attend- 
ance of groups of people representing every type of the 
native races of America, from the Pueblo Indian of Mexico 
to the savages of Tierra del Fuego. 


THE PROPOSED HISTORICAL EXHIBIT. 


By means of a generous appropriation by Congress, this 
Bureau has been enabled to prepare for exhibition at Chicago 
a historical collection of great interest and educational value, 
illustrating the discovery, the conquest, and the settlement of 
Latin America, the colonial period, and the epoch of the 
Revolution for Independence. An officer of the navy, detailed 
for that purpose, is now in Spain superintending the construc- 
tion of a caravel which is to be an exact facsimile of that in 


REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 23 


which Columbus made his first voyage of discovery. It is to 
be equipped in the same way and manned by Spanish sailors 
in the costume of 400 years ago. This vessel will be com- 
pleted and brought to the United States in time to participate 
in the naval review that is to take place at New York in 
April, 1893, and will be towed through the lakes to Chicago 
to remain during the Exposition. It will then return to 
Washington and be permanently moored in the river south of 
the Executive Mansion. 


THE PROPOSED COMMERCIAL EXHIBIT, 


It is also proposed to prepare a commercial exhibit illus- 
trating the various classes of merchandise best adapted to the 
wants, and most acceptable to the tastes, of consumers in 
Mexico, Central and South America, and the West Indies. 
It is conceded that one of the greatest obstacles in the way 
of the extension of trade in that direction is the lack of 
knowledge on the part of the merchants and manufacturers 
of the United States concerning the peculiar requirements of 
the markets, and it is believed that this obstacle may be 
overcome, to a considerable degree at least, by illustrating 
fully, for the information of such manufacturers, in what their 
European competitors surpass them; to show by actual 
samples what classes of merchandise are most salable ; what 
patterns, designs, and materials are most useful and popular; 
the manner in which they should be put up to attract the 
trade, and the method in which they should be packed to 
insure safe and convenient transportation in the interior dis- 
tricts when there are neither railways nor cart roads, and to 


24 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS 


avoid the payment of unnecessary customs duties, which are 
usually assessed upon the gross weight of packages. 

Abundant space has been reserved for such a display, and 
the special commissioners of the Exposition now in the south- 
ern Republics and colonies, as well as the diplomatic and 
consular officers of the Government, have been asked to aid 
in the work of securing the exhibits. Explanatory cata- 
logues and circulars will be prepared by writers familiar with 
the markets of the several countries, and experienced men 
will be in attendance to answer inquiries and furnish such in- 
formation as may be desired. 

In this endeavor the Bureau of American Republics is 
receiving the heartiest codperation and encouragement from 
merchants actively engaged in the trade, and is indebted to 
their superior knowledge and experience for valuable sugges- 
tions and assistance. It is proposed that this exhibit shall be 
permanently established at the close of the Exposition either 
in Washington, in connection with this Bureau, or at some 
convenient place in New York, and renewed from time to 
time by the introduction of new articles for which a demand 
may be created in the southern markets, and its usefulness 
extended as changing conditions and circumstances may re- 
quire. 

With the hope that the Bureau may continue to be a factor 
in the promotion of fellowship and in the development of 
commerce between the American Republics, 

I have the honor to be your obedient servant, 


WILLIAM E. CURTIS, 
Director Bureau of the American Republics.

INFORME ANUAL 


DE LA 


OFICINA DE LAS REPÚBLICAS AMERICANAS. 


_ OFICINA DE LAS REPUBLICAS AMERICANAS, 
Washington, D. C., Octubre 31 de 1897. 
Al Señor Secretario de Estado de los 
Estados Unidos de América. 


SEÑOR : Tengo el honor de someter al examen y aproba- 
ción de V. el informe de las tareas de esta Oficina durante el 
primer año de su existencia, y al hacerlo me cabe la satisfac- 
ción de poder decir con confianza que en él se ha demostrado 
cuán amplia es la esfera de utilidad de esta Oficina, en cuanto 
4 dar à conocer, aquí, los recursos de las Repúblicas latino 
americanas, el grado de progreso á que han llegado, y las 
oportunidades que ofrecen á nuestro comercio, y hacer tam- 
bién allá, y en cada una de ellas, que se pongan de manifiesto 
las ventajas que para la venta de sus productos les ofrecen 
los mercados de los Estados Unidos. 

La necesidad de esta agencia fue reconocida por la Con- 
ferencia internacional americana celebrada recientemente. 


En ella se recomendó, por voto unánime de las naciones 
25 


26 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 


representadas, que se constituyese una “Unión internacional 
de las Repúblicas americanas para la pronta compilación y 
distribución de datos sobre el comercio,” que esa . Unión 
estuviese representada en Washington por una Oficina bajo 
la vigilancia del Secretario de Estado de los Estados Unidos, 
y que el tiempo de su duración fuese diez años, con calidad 
de prorrogarse indefinidamente, por períodos iguales, si á 
las naciones componentes de la Unión les pareciere prove- 
choso hacerlo. 


PLAN Y OBJETO DE LA OFICINA. 


El objeto de la Oficina, como lo explicó la Conferencia, 
es publicar Boletines relativos al comercio y recursos de las 
Repúblicas americanas, con noticias de interés para los fabri- 
cantes, comerciantes, y embarcadores, disponiéndose también 
que ella sirviese en todo tiempo de medio de comunicación 
para proporcionar á quien lo solicitase, cuantos datos é in- 
formes fuere razonable pedir en materia de aranceles y 
reglamentos de aduanas y en todo lo concerniente al comer- 
cio y navegación de dichas Repúblicas. 

Se estipuló que los gastos para el sostenimiento de la Ofi- 
cina no excediesen de $36,000 al año, y que esta suma se satis- 
ficiese por las diferentes Repúblicas, proporcionalmente á su 
población, suplicándose además al Gobierno de las Estados 
Unidos que la anticipase anualmente, y que en 1° de Julio de 
cada año cobrase de cada Gobierno contribuyente la cuota que 
le correspondiese satisfacer con arreglo á la tabla siguiente:

I 


De conformidad con esta súplica de la Conferencia Inter- 
nacional Americana el Congreso de los Estados Unidos de 
América determinó en la Ley de presupuestos aprobada el 14 
de Julio de 1890, y destinada á proveer a los gastos del servicio 
diplomático y consular de los Estados Unidos en el año fiscal 
terminado el 30 de Junio de 1891, que se abriese con el 
objeto indicado un crédito de $36,000; y la Oficina de las 
Repúblicas Americanas quedó desde luego organizada bajo 
la vigilancia y supervisión de V. 

Expidióse en seguida por el Departamento de Estado, en 
los idiomas inglés y castellano, una circular anunciando el 
establecimiento de la Oficina, y explicando en detalle sus 
propósitos. Copias de esta comunicación fueron también 
suministradas á diversas juntas de comercio y corporaciones 
mercantiles de las Repúblicas de América, y por el número 
y el carácter de las respuestas quedó demostrada desde el 
primer momento la necesidad y utilidad de' este centro, que 
fomenta el comercio diseminando informes útiles y datos 
de importancia general ó particular. De los Estados Unidos 
solamente se han recibido treinta y ocho mil solicitudes en 


28 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 


que los firmantes piden que se les remitan los Boletines de la 
Oficina, y son en número correspondiente las que con el. 
mismo objeto han venido de las demas Repúblicas. 


NATURALEZA DE LOS INFORMES PEDIDOS. 


Durante los primeros cuatro meses recibió la Oficina sete- 
cientas comunicaciones, á que se dió contestación cumplida, 
solicitando informes sobre diversos puntos relacionados con 
el comercio. Son muchas las que han venido después de 
aquel periodo y continúan llegando incesantemente. 

La mayor parte de estas consultas ha procedido de comer- 
ciantes y fabricantes de los Estados Unidos, deseosos de 
extender sus negocios y entrar en relaciones con las Repúblicas 
latino-americanas, é interesados, por lo tanto, en obtener datos 
que pudiesen servirles de guía; y son en grande número los 
harineros, embarcadores de provisiones y víveres, fabricantes 
de maquinaria é instrumentos para la agricultura y la minería, 
y los de útiles de todas clases para ferro-carril, incluyendo los 
carros y los coches para los viajeros, dueños de fábricas de 
muebles y papel, y comerciantes en ferretería, objetos de cuero, 
joyas, drogas y productos químicos, así como también las per- 
sonas dedicadas á otros ramos de industria, que han ocurrido 
en busca de noticias que necesitaban y que les era provechoso 
obtener. Unas veces quisieron enterarse de la demanda que 
podría haber para sus respectivas producciones ó manufacturas 
en el país donde intentaban emprender negocios, otras veces 
desearon conocer los derechos de aduana que sus artículos 
tendrian que satisfacer al ser importados en la misma nación. 
Unos pedían informes sobre el clima, y las peculiares condi- 


REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 29 


ciones geográficas y sociales de algún país de América á fin, 
de determinar si sus manufacturas y producciones de cualquier 
género serían ó no susceptibles de consumo en aquel mercado, 
y en su caso modificarlas ó alterarlas de tal manera que se 
adaptasen satisfactoriamente á las costumbres y gustos de la 
localidad. Y en lo que respecta á fechas de salidas de 
los vapores, precios de los fletes, puertos á que se puede 
ir directamente, y medios de transporte interior en los dife- 
rentes países, la Oficina ha tenido necesidad de ponerse con 
frecuencia en comunicación activa con las diversas líneas de 
vapores que hacen el servicio en aguas americanas, á fin de 
poder contestar satisfactoriamente las numerosas preguntas 


que se le han hecho. 


ESTIMULO PARA LA IMMIGRACIÓN. 


Tanto de Europa como de los Estados Unidos se ha 
recibido un gran número de cartas, expresivas del deseo de 
los que las escribieron de trasladarse á las Repúblicas latino- 
americanas y dedicarse alli al comercio, la agricultura, 6 las : 
artes mecánicas. En esas cartas se ha pedido a la Oficina que 
suministre informes, no solo con respecto á las oportunidades 
favorables que respectivamente podrían ofrecerse en ellas 
para el negocio ó industria de que se trataba, sino también en 
lo relativo á la abundancia ó escasez de brazos, y á la demanda 
mayor ó menor de trabajo esmerado, precio de los jornales, 
costo de la vida, métodos de agricultura, precio de las tierras, 
leyes relativas á la immigración, y ganancias rendidas en 
general por las cosechas. Otras veces la investigación se ha 
propuesto determinar los gastos de un cultivo, ó el costo de 


30 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 


fabricar los edificios, los tipos de las contribuciones que paga 
el pueblo, el grado de protección que se dispensa á las personas 
y 4las propriedades, la localidad en que se encuentran minas, 
y el modo de adquirir aquellas tierras en que puedan explo- 
tarse, y las leyes relativas al ramo de minería. Otras, en fin, 
se ha preguntado qué ventajas se ofrecen para la industria 
pecuaria, y cuál es el valor de los carneros y el ganado vacuno, 
qué medios de comunicación existen en el país, y cuál es el 
modo usual de hacer los viajes, y multitud de cosas más 6 
menos por el mismo estilo, que no hay necesidad de enumerar. 
Todo esto es buena prueba del interés despertado en favor 
del comercio con los países vecinos y del mejor conocimiento 
de sus condiciones especiales y del impulso dado al fomento 
de las relaciones sociales y comerciales con las Repúblicas 
americanas. 


RÁPIDO CRECIMIENTO DEL COMERCIO DE EXPORTACIÓN, 


Es igualmente satisfactorio observar que este interés sigue 
- en aumento, y que la Oficina de las Repúblicas americanas 
ha contribuido con sus informes y noticias á aumentar en 
grado muy notable las relaciones comerciales y sociales entre 
los Estados Unidos y las demas países de este hemisferio. 
Se demuestra este hecho, no solo por el rápido crecimiento 
del comercio de exportación, sino también por las largas 
listas de pasajeros de los vapores que navegan entre nuestros 
puertos y los de Centro América y la América del Sud, y por 
el enorme aumento del peso y volumen de la correspondencia 
transmitida por el correo. Hay muchos fabricantes de di- 


versos productos en los Estados Unidos que jamás habían 


REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 31 


pensado para sus hegocios en los países del Sud, y que están 
ahora tratando, por medio de agentes enviados al efecto, de 
introducir sus géneros y manufacturas en aquellos mercados, 
de entrar en conocimiento y relaciones con las casas importa- 
doras de la localidad, y de establecer corresponsales perma- 
nentes y sistemas de crédito. Tres nuevas líneas de vapores se 
han establecido ya entre esos países y el nuestro, y las antiguas 
compañías se han visto obligadas á aumentar el número y la 
capacidad de sus buques, y á dar los viajes con más frecuen- 
cia, á fin de hacer frente al incremento del tráfico, tanto en 
el ramo de pasajeros como en el de carga. 

Y por virtud de un movimiento análogo, muchos comer- 
ciantes de México, y de Centro América, y la América del Sud, 


. que invariablemente habían efectuado todas sus compras en 


Europa, se hallan ahora visitando los Estados Unidos, y des- 
cubriendo sin cesar que aquí pueden encontrar más baratos 
y de mejor calidad que en la Gran Bretaña, Alemania, y 
Francia casi todos los artículos que necesitan. Por otra parte 
los arreglos de reciprocidad comercial recientemente celebra- 
dos les han hecho ver y comprender las' grandes ventajas que 
estos pueden proporcionarles. 

No hace mucho que un agente de una de las casas mas 
grandes del Brasil, cuyas operaciones se hacen con capital 
europeo, y que hasta ahora se había surtido de todo en la 
Gran Bretaña, estuvo aquí de camino para Europa á donde 
iba 4 hacer sus compras. Encontró, sin embargo, que entre 
nosotros podía proveerse de todo con mayor ventaja, tanto 
en precios como en calidad, y desistió de continuar su viaje. 
Las mercancias que compró aquí, y que representan un valor 


32 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS, 


de varios centenares de miles de pesos, están ahora embar- 
cándose en New York con destino al Brasil. 


ESTADISTICAS POSTALES. 


No es inoportuno llamar la atención á los resultados que

REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 33 


Me tomo la libertad de indicar, a solicitud de muchos 
comerciantes, que sería muy conveniente para facilitar el tráfico 
entre los Estados Unidos y las demás Repúblicas de América, 
hacer extensivo á estas últimas el sistema de giros postales, 
y el de remitir paquetes ó encomiendas por el correo, los 
cuales no se hallan establecidos en este hemisferio sino con 
muy corto número de naciones. La carencia absoluta de 
facilidades bancarias directas, el alto tipo de los cambios, el 
riesgo que se corre enviando el dinero directamente, y lo 
mucho que cuesta hacerlo, y en cuanto á los paquetes ó bultos 
pequeños el grande gasto que ocasiona su remisión, hacen 
prácticamente imposible el desenvolvimiento de un tráfico 
que bajo otras circumstancias sería indudablemente muy 
activo y de mucho provecho. Los comerciantes de los 
Estados Unidos podrian entonces envíar, á poca costa, sus 
muestras á todos los mercados del Sud, y ofrecer de este 
modo á los ojos de aquellos pueblos multitud de artículos 
que hasta ahora no han podido conocerse sino indirectamente 
por el intermedio de agentes, ó casas comisionistas. 


BOLETINES PUBLICADOS EN ESTE AÑO. . 


El primer Boletín de esta Oficina fue un “Manual de las 
Repúblicas americanas” (No. 1), publicado en inglés en Enero 
último. El libro salió ilustrado, con mapas y cartas, y está 
lleno de noticias importantes. En él se hizo una reseña de 
los trabajos de la Conferencia internacional americana, y se 
dieron varias noticias históricas con respecto á América, aña- 
diéndose interesantes noticias geográficas, un sumario de los 


sistemas de crédito de las diferentes Repúblicas, un extracto 
S. Ex. 83

de las leyes que en ellas están vigentes sobre marcas de 
fábrica, multitud de datos estadísticos relativos al comercio 
en general, y en particular al de cereales, y de frutas, nueces, 
azúcar y café, tablas indicativas de las diferentes monedas, 
pesos y medidas, una lista de los funcionarios más elevados 
del Gobierno de cada nación, y de sus representantes diplo- 
máticos y consulares, una explicación detallada de los derechos 
de puerto que en cada cual se cobran, y de los reglamentos y 
formalidades que se observan en sus respectivas aduanas, una 
Guía del viajero, otra postal y telegráfica incluyendo el servicio 
del cable, etc. 

El segundo Boletín, que se tituló ‘Manual de las Repú- 
blicas americanas” (No. 2), es un volumen de 486 páginas,

otros datos interesantes. Acompafian 4 este tomo, entre 
mapas y grabados, diez y ocho láminas. 

De este libro se ha hecho una traducción al castellano, que 
está en prensa, y que pronto podrá distribuire, corregida 
hasta el 1° del corriente Octubre. 

Tiene la Oficina el propósito de publicar todos los años 
una nueva edición de este Manual, en inglés y en castellano, 
revisada y corregida hasta el 1? de Enero.

LOS ARANCELES DE ADUANAS Y LOS DIRECTORIOS COMERCIALES. 


Los aranceles de aduanas de las diversas Repúblicas en 
que se habla el castellano han sido publicados en esta lengua 
y también en inglés, en páginas de dos columnas paralelas. 
El del Brasil lo ha sido del mismo modo en portugués y en 
inglés. Los importes de los derechos, que están natural- 
mente expresados en el arancel de cada país en la moneda 
que es allí la corriente, se han puesto en la traducción inglesa 
en el valor equivalente en moneda de los Estados Unidos, 
según los tipos que determina cada trimestre la circular pu- 
blicada al efecto por el Director de las Casas de Moneda de los 
Estados Unidos. La serie de estos Aranceles se irá conti- 


REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 31 


nuando hasta que estén dados al público todos los que se hallen 
en observancia en América, sea en las naciones independientes, 
sea en las posesiones coloniales. Y entonces se formará con 
todos ellos un tomo que se circulará gratuitamente entre los 
fabricantes y comerciantes á quienes interese. 

Los Directorios comerciales tienen por objeto auxiliar á 
los mismos fabricantes y comerciantes en la distribución de 
sus circulares y catálogos, y ayudarles también á entrar en 
correspondencia con los hombres de negocios de los diversos 
paises. El enorme pedido que se ha hecho de estas publica- 
ciones demuestra el vivisimo interés que se ha despertado en 
favor del comercio, en que hasta ahora practicamente no se 
habia pensado nunca, con las Repúblicas de este hemisferio. 
Estos Directorios, por virtud de la gran dificultad de conse- 
guir el material adecuado, son y tienen que ser necesaria- 
mente incompletos; pero en cada nueva edición que se haga, 
según lo exijan las circumstancias, se añadirá y enmendará 
lo que sea del caso; y es de esperar que llegará á obtenerse 
con ellos un catálogo completo y fidedigno de los principales 
comerciantes de México, Centro América, la América del 
Sud, y las Antillas. 


BOLETINES EN PREPARACIÓN, 


La serie de los Manuales destinados á dar á conocer las 
diferentes Repúblicas de América y las posesiones coloniales 
en ella existentes se irá continuando hasta que cada uno de 
esos países tenga su propio libro, adornado con las correspon- 
dientes láminas y mapas. Como aparece de la antecedente 
lista ya están publicados los del Brasil y México. El de 





38 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 


Costa Rica está en prensa, y los de Colombia, Guatemala, 
Venezuela y Nicaragua se hallan en preparación. Los de los 
demás países se redactarán según vayan completándose los 
datos, que se han pedido. 

Es satisfactorio observar que de todas partes del país 
se han recibido numerosas solicitudes pidiendo estos Manua- 
les para las escuelas públicas, en muchas de las cuales se 
está dedicando ahora especial atención al estudio de los países 
de la América del Sud. Los limitados fondos de que dispone 
esta Oficina no le han permitido hacer ediciones de más de 
cinco mil ejemplares de cada una de estas obras, los que ha 
tenido que distribuir imparcialmente entre diez y ocho 
Repúblicas con cien millones de habitantes. Es de reco- 
mendarse eficazmente al Congreso que se sirva ordenar una 
edición especial para las escuelas y bibliotecas públicas de 
los Estados Unidos. Estas últimas son en número de once 
mil, y cada una debiera tener por lo menos dos ejemplares 
de cada Manual. Se comprende sin necesidad de más ex- 
plicación que hasta ahora le haya sido imposible á esta Oficina 
corresponder sino de una manera muy imperfecta á tan gran 
pedido. 

Están igualmente en preparación un Boletín especial 
sobre el comercio de cereales de este continente, y otros en 
que se trata de las minas y leyes de minería de las diferentes 
Repúblicas americanas, de las leyes que regulan la venta y 
aprovechamiento de las tierras públicas, y de todo lo relativo 
4 immigración, incluyendo las disposiciones dictadas para 
fomentarla. Todos estos libros quedarán publicados el año 
entrante. Hay un enorme pedido de datos y noticias sobre 


REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 39 


todos estos asuntos, y la atención de esta Oficina ha tenido 
y tiene que ocuparse frecuentemente respondiendo á las 
preguntas que acerca de estos particulares se le hacen, así de 
los Estados Unidos como de Europa, por multitud de per- 
sonas interesadas en sacar ventaja de las inmensas riquezas 
minerales y agrícolas de las Repúblicas meridionales. 


EL CÓDIGO DE NOMENCLATURA. 


La Conferencia internacional americana, que estuvo recien- 
temente en sesión, recomendó que se formara y publicara un 
Código de nomenclatura comercial, destinado á uniformar los 
nombres de las diferentes mercaderías exportadas é importa- 
das. La Oficina emprendió esta obra, y la tiene muy adelan- 
tada. A esta fecha está ya completa más de la mitad del tra- 
bajo. 

Este Código será un Dicionario comercial en inglés, cas- 
tellano y portugués, y contendrá de veinte y cinco á treinta 
mil vocablos, arreglados alfabéticamente. En él se encontra- 
rán todos los términos con que en las Repúblicas de América 
se designan los artículos en que comercian unas con otras. 
Las expresiones distintas y puramente locales con que en . 
algunos puntos se designan los mismos artículos, irán también 
insertas aunque en tipo más pequeño, en el lugar que les cor- 
responda. Ala fecha en que se escribe este Informe está ya 


, 


completa en manuscrito la letra “m;” y se han corregido 
pruebas impresas hasta llegar á la letra “h.” 

La necesidad é importancia de esta obra sólo pueden apre- 
ciarse debidamente por los que tienen conocimiento práctico 


de las dificultades con que tropieza el comercio cuando se hace 


40 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 


entre pueblos de diferentes lenguas, -ó entre los que hablando 
una misma se encuentra sin embargo que cada cual designa 
á su manera la misma clase de mercancía. Sucede también 
con frecuencia que el nombre que se aplica en un país á un 
objeto dado, está en uso en otro para un objeto enteramente 
distinto. Y como es natural que el comerciante de la América 
del Sud, al hacer sus pedidos al comerciante de los Estados 
Unidos, escriba en su propia lengua y emplee los términos 
locales que están en uso en su país, resulta muchas veces que 
su pedido no se entiende, 6 se entiende mal. No hay necesi- 
dad de mucho esfuerzo para demostrar que de no cumplirse 
las órdenes, ó de cumplirlas imperfectamente, resultan desa- 
grados y pérdidas, que en ocasiones pueden ser graves, y 
que siempre perjudican considerablemente la expansión del 
comercio. 

Una vez concluido este Diccionario se le someterá, segun 
determinó la Conferencia, á la aprobación de los diferentes 
Gobiernos de América, encareciéndoles que tengan á bien 
adoptarlo. Si así lo efectuaren, se tendrá entonces con grande 
beneficio para los comerciantes de América, una guía oficial, 
segura, respecto de la terminología que debe usarse así para 
el aforo y cobranza de los derechos de aduana, como para la 
redacción de los manifiestos, facturas consulares, pedimentos 
de despacho, y demás documentos del caso. Con esto, por 
lo menos, se evitarán multitud de dificultades serias con que 
en el día tienen que luchar muchos comerciantes y fabricantes 
de los Estados Unidos. 

El costo de publicación de esta obra ha de ser necesaria- 
mente tan grande que no permita distribuirla gratuitamente.

REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 41 


Y por esta causa me atrevo á proponer que se dén las órdenes 
oportunas al Impresor del Gobierno para que tire una edición 
muy numerosa, que permita destinar mil ejemplares para el 
Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, con el objeto de repartirlos 
entre sus diferentes aduanas, y entre los consulados que tiene 
establecidos en los diversos países de América, y quede sin 
embargo suficiente número para poder regalar quinientos 
ejemplares á cada uno de los Gobiernos de América y ven- 
der el resto al público, al cósto de impresión con el recargo 
de un diez por ciento. 


NOTICIAS SUMINISTRADAS Á LA PRENSA PUBLICA. 


Uno de los importantes deberes de esta Oficina, consis- 
tente en suministrar noticias á la prensa pública con respecto 
á las naciones de América, ha sido desempeñado con esmero, 
proveyéndose diariamente, en todo el transcurso del año, á las 
diferentes asociaciones periódisticas 6 de noticias, que están 
establecidas así en este país, como en México, las Repúblicas 
de Centro América y de la América del Sud, y las Antillas, y 
también en Europa, de cortos sueltos, ó artículos explicativos 
de cuanto ha acontecido de importancia en el Nuevo Mundo, 
6 se ha creido de interés para el público. Eso mismo se ha 
hecho con todos los periódicos que lo han pedido individual- 
mente. Y de esta manera se ha mantenido al público perfec- 
tamente informado de cuanto ha ocurrido en este hemisferió 
relativamente al comercio y la legislación, así en el ramo de 
aduanas, como en muchos otros, y de todas las novedades 
cuyo conocimiento importa á los comerciantes, fabricantes, em- 
barcadores y navieros, 0 se han introducido en materias de 


42 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 


patentes de inventos, 6 en agricultura, mineria, 6 las artes 
mecánicas. Se ha procurado también tener al público al cor- 
riente de los cambios que se han efectuado en el alto personal 
de algunos Gobiernos cuando dichos cambios tuvieron impor- 
tancia general. Y siempre se ha cuidado de que estos in- 
formes, recibidos unas veces de fuente oficial, y procedentes 
en otros casos de origen particular, en nada aludan á asuntos 
políticos, ó á materia alguna de controversia en los diversos 
países, poniéndose particular empeño en dar solamente al 
público lo que es de importancia comercial, ó general. De 
esta manera se ha logrado que muchos miles de periódicos, 
en ambos lados del Atlántico, diseminando informes sobre los 
recursos de las Repúblicas de América y el verdadero estado 
actual de sus negocios, hayan contribuido constantemente á 
fomentar el comercio con ellas y favorecer sus intereses so- 
ciales. | 

Tiene ya formada esta Oficina una Biblioteca de bastante 
valor compuesta de muchas obras relativas á estas Repúblicas, 
y á ella han contribuido en gran parte los diferentes Gobier- 
nos con importantes regalos de libros y publicaciones oficiales 
de todas clases. También recibe regularmente los principales 
periódicos de la América latina, incluyendo las posesiones co- 
loniales, y es frecuente que vengan á consultarlos ó leerlos, los 
diferentes miembros del cuerpo diplomático americano ú otras 
personas interesadas en conocer lo que acontece en aquellos 
pueblos. 

A este trabajo de difusión de conocimientos respecto de 
las Repúblicas meridionales puede agregarse el que por su 
parte ha llevado a cabo personalmente el Director de la Of- 


REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 43 


cina, en las diversas lecturas ó conferencias públicas que sobre 
asuntos de la incumbencia de la misma, ha dado en varios 
lugares del pais, 4 invitación de asociaciones comerciales, 6 
de otra clase.

ESTABLECIMIENTO EN EUROPA DE OFICINAS ANÁLOGAS Á ESTA. 


La importancia de esta Oficina y la influencia ejercida por 
ella en el fomento del comercio americano se demostrarian 
satisfactoriamente con solo el hecho de que á imitación suya 
se han establecido, y tratan de establecerse otras del mismo 
género en Inglaterra y en Francia. 

En un reciente número del diario de Panamá titulado 
the Panama Star and Herald se encuentra lo que sigue: 

Los Cónsules generales de las diferentes Repúblicas latino americanas en 
Londres han inaugurado un movimiento que tiene por objeto establecer en 
aquella capital una Oficina de información, análoga á la que está funcionado 
en Washington, y destinada á compilar y publicar datos y noticias intere- 
santes á sus respectivos países. Otra Oficina de la misma clase se encuentra 


ya establecida en París. En ambas, lo mismo que en la de Washington, se 
tiene por objeto difundir el conocimiento de los recursos con que cuentan 


44 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. | 


las mencionadas Repúblicas de América, y hacer públicas las ventajas que 
ofrecen para el comercio, dando además informes específicos, cuando quiera 
que se soliciten, sobre asuntos relacionados con el comercio. Los Cónsules 
que han inaugurado este movimiento se expresaron como sigue : 

“Es un hecho universalmente admitido que el establecimiento de Cámaras 
de Comercio en las diferentes partes del mundo ha producido un beneficio 
inmenso, y no puede disputarse por un momento que el enorme tráfico que 
ha tenido lugar durante los últimos cincuenta años entre este país (Inglaterra) 
y los Estados de Centro América, la América del Sud y México, se haría 
mucho mayor todavía, si los artículos que allí se producen, y los que allí se 
necesitan para satisfacer diferentes necesidades, pudieran conocerse mejor, 
6 de una manera más directa, mediante la acción de aquellps cuerpos. 
Ellos están dedicados especialmente á fomentar el comercio entre los men- 
cionados pueblos y la Gran Bretaña.” 

Son diez y siete los Estados que estarán representados en la nueva 
Oficina, á saber: la República Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, 
Costa Rica, la República Dominicana, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, 
México, Paraguay, Perú, Salvador, Nicaragua, Uruguay y Venezuela. Y 
la Oficina se compondrá de los siguientes departamentos : 

1. Uno en que habrá salones de lectura, con colecciones completas de 
todos los periódicos y revistas de los países de la América latina. 

2. Una Biblioteca, donde se encontrarán todas las publicaciones oficiales 
códigos, etc., de los referidos países. Esta Biblioteca podrá con frecuencia 
evitar gastos á los comerciantes cuando se encuentren envueltos en cuestiones 
legales y necesiten informes auténticos. 

3- Un Museo comercial, en que habrá muestras de todos los productos de 
las diez y siete Repúblicas, incluyendo no solo los que están ya conocidos 
en el mercado inglés sino también los que todavía no se han introducido 
en él. 

4. Un departamento en que habrá salas de reunión para los que se 
suscriban con ese objeto, y en que podrán suministrarse ligeros refrigerios, 
y consultarse las últimas publicaciones inglesas y extranjeras (periódicos y 
libros) sobre los referidos países americanos. | 

5. Uno destinado á la redacción y publicación en lengua castellana de

una Revista, que se procurará circule profusamente en los mencionados países, 
y donde se dén á conocer, y se anuncien, todos los artículos que pueden 
producir 6 poner de venta la industria y el comercio de la Gran Bretaña. 
Esta Revista deberá abrazar tan extensamente como sea posible, dentro de su 
esfera y límites, todo lo que se gestione en el Reino Unido con relación á la 
América latina, y estará redactada de tal manera que pueda realmente con- 
siderársela como un repertorio anglo-sudamericano de datos y noticias 
sobre aquellos pueblos. 

6. Otro departamento donde se dén conferencias 6 lecturas públicas 
sobre asuntos latino americanos, ya sea por individuos pertenecientes á la 
Oficina, ya por otras personas que al efecto sean invitadas, y donde también 
puedan tener lugar reuniones, ó recepciones de ceremonia, en honor de 
cualesquiera personas distinguidas de los mismos países que visiten la gran 


metrópolis. 
REPRESENTACIÓN LATINO AMERICANA EN LA EXPOSICIÓN. 


Reconociendo el hecho cierto de que la próxima Ex- 
posición Universal, con que va á conmemorarse el cuarto 
centenario del descubrimiento de América, suministrará una 
oportunidad sin ejemplo para el mayor ensanche y fomento 
de las relaciones comerciales y sociales entre los Estados 
Unidos y sus hermanas las demás Repúblicas de este hemis- 
ferio, acometió esta Oficina, con la aprobación de V., la tarea 
de interesar á los gobiernos y pueblos de las dichas Repúbli- 
cas en favor de aquella empresa. Se escogieron para este 
objeto algunos oficiales del Ejército y la armada de los 
Estados Unidos que por sus conocimientos especiales y sus 
circumstancias se estimaron mas á propósito, y se les invistió. 
con el carácter de Comisionados de la Exposición, proveyén- 
dolos de cartas del Presidente de los Estados Unidos para 
los diferentes Gefes del Gobierno de los pueblos de América 


46 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 


f 


invitândolos à participar en el gran certamen. Todos ellos 
se encaminaron desde luego á los diferentes países, que se 
encuentran al Sud del rio Grande y del Golfo de México, 
donde habrán de empefiarse en conseguir la formación de 
colecciones de cuanto artículo pueda servir para dar á conocer 
las producciones del suelo y de la industria local, y su remi- 
sión á Chicago. El resultado ha sido muy superior á cuanto 
podía esperarse. Todas las invitaciones se aceptaron con la 
mayor cordialidad. En todas partes se nombraron Comi- 
siones para la mejor representación posible del país. Y los 
créditos que para este efecto se han abierto en los diversos 
presupuestos nacionales exceden en conjunto la cantidad de 
dos millones de pesos. Es un hecho que bajo el punto de 
vista pecuniario, más han contribuido estos países á favorecer 
la Exposición universal, que todos los Estados de los Esta- 
dos Unidos, exceptuando á Illinois. 

Las Compañías de vapores, cuyos buques navegan entre 
los puertos de los Estados Unidos y los de las mencionadas 
Repúblicas y colonias, también han coadyuvado eficazmente 
al propósito de la Exposición, otorgando generosas conce- 
siones y rebajas en los precios de fletes y pasajes. Han 
convenido en transportar libres de costo todos los artículos 
destinados á la Exposición, excepto los que vengan para 
venderse, y conducirán de retorno á los puertos de su pro- 
cedencia, libres también de gasto, todos los que no hubieren 
sido vendidos durante el concurso. Han convenido igual- 
mente en reducir los precios de pasaje de tal manera, que lo 
que cobren sea simplemente lo necesario para cubrir los gastos 
de manutención y subsistencia de los viajeros. Se cree que 


REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 47 


con estas ventajas será fácil para un grande número de los 
habitantes de los países del Sud venir á los Estados Unidos á 
visitar la Exposición. 

Casi todas las Repúblicas americanas tendrán en los ter- 
renos de la Exposición un edificio especial construido por 
ellas mismas, que será típico de su arquitectura local, y en 
que se reunirá cuanto pueda mostrar prácticamente el ca- 
rácter especial de su pueblo, su manera de vivir y su industria. 
Está ademas convenido que figurarán en la Exposición grupos 
de individuos y familias de las diversas razas nativas, desde 
los llamadas indios de pueblo de México hasta los salvajes de 
la Tierra del Fuego. 


LA EXPOSICIÓN HISTÓRICA. 


Merced á un crédito liberal que concedió el Congreso ha 
podido esta Oficina preparar para la Exposición en Chicago 
una colección histórica de gran interés, y de mucho precio 
bajo el punto de vista escolar, ilustrativa del descubrimiento, 
conquista y población de la América latina, el periodo colo- 
nial, y la época de las guerras de su independencia. Un 
oficial de marina de los Estados Unidos se encuentra en estos 
momentos en España, donde fue enviado con ese objeto, 
atendiendo á la construcción de una carabela que será un 
exacto facsímile de la que trajo á Colón en su primer viaje. 
Estará equipada y tripulada de todo punto como aquella, y 
sus tripulantes vestirán los mismo trajes que hace cuatro- 
cientos años estaban en uso. El buque estará concluido en 
tiempo suficiente para permitir que se le traiga á los Estados 
Unidos á tomar parte en la revista naval que ha de efectuarse 


48 REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 


en New York en el mes de Abril de 1893, después de lo 
cual será remolcado por los canales y lagos hasta Chicago 
donde permanecerá durante la Exposición. Concluida esta 
se le traerá á Washington, donde quedará al ancla en el 
Potomac frente á la fachada meridional de la Mansión del 
Ejecutivo. 


LA COLECCIÓN COMERCIAL. 


Se tiene proyectada igualmente la formación de una co- 
lección comercial ilustrativa de las diferentes clases de mer- 
cancias más adaptables 4 los gustos y necesidades de los 
consumidores en México, las Américas del Centro y del Sud, 
y las Antillas. Es bien sabido que una de las causas que 
más estorban el mayor desarrollo del tráfico con esos países, 
consiste en la carencia de conocimientos, por parte de los co- 
merciantes y fabricantes de los Estados Unidos, de la verdadera 
cualidad y naturaleza de los artículos que allí se desea con- 
sumir; y este obstáculo, que es sin duda muy grande, podrá - 
sin embargo allanarse, si no del todo al menos en mucha parte, 
presentando á la vista de todos, cuales son los artículos y mer- 
caderías en que nuestros competidores de Europa nos llevan 
la ventaja. 

Allí se mostrará prácticamente, por medio de muestras, 
cuales son las mercaderías que tienen más demanda y pueden 
venderse con mayor ventaja en aquellos mercados, cuales los 
patrones, dibujos y materiales que más se usan, ó disfrutan de 
mayor popularidad, cuál el modo de arreglar las mismas mer- 
cancias para que atraigan más la atención de los compra- 
dores, y qué métodos deben adoptarse para su empaqueta- 


REPORT OF BUREAU OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 49 


miento, 6 envase, á fin de transportarlas sin riesgo al interior 
de los paises donde no hay ferro-carriles ni carreteras, y de 
ahorrar al mismo tiempo el pago innecesario de derechos de 
importación, que generalmente se calculan sobre el peso bruto 
de los fardos ó cajas. 

Se ha reservado abundante espacio para esta colección, y 

los Comisionados especiales que la Exposición ha enviado á 
las diferentes Repúblicas y colonias de este hemisferio, lo 
mismo que los diversos empleados del cuerpo diplomático y 
consular de los Estados Unidos en los mismos países, se esfuer- 
zan, como se les ha pedido que lo hagan, en que se remitan 
abundantes muestras de esta clase. Se formarán los opor- 
tunos catálogos explicatorios, y se redactarán las circulares 
que sean del caso, valiéndose al efecto de escritores familiari- 
zados con los mercados de los respectivos países, y habrá 
además siempre á mano, y dispuestas á dar cuantos informes 
se necesiten, y se les pidan, personas competentes y de cono- 
cimiento práctico en el asunto. 

En todos estos esfuerzos la Oficina de las Repúblicas ameri- 
canas está recibiendo activo apoyo y cooperación cordial de 
parte de muchos comerciantes, 4 quienes debe indicaciones 
provechosas fundadas en su larga experiencia y mayores cono- 
cimientos. Se tiene el propósito de que estas colecciones 
continúen exhibiéndose permanentemente, después que se 
termine la Exposición Universal, bien en Washington, y en 
conexión con esta Oficina, bien en New York, renovándose 
de tiempo en tiempo, á fin de que figuren en ellas todos los 
artículos nuevos que se hayan introducido en los mercados 


del Sud, ó estén en. uso en el pueblo, y manteniéndose de

este modo, en todo tiempo, y con arreglo á las diferentes 

épocas y circumstancias, el carácter de enseñanza práctica y 

de utilidad para el comercio que se tiene en mira en todo esto. 
Con la esperanza de que esta Oficina continúé siendo un 

factor de importancia en el fomento de relaciones cada vez 

mas estrechas con las Repúblicas de América, y en el aumento 

del comercio con ellas, tengo el honor de suscribirme de V., 

muy atento servidor,

Chapter I. 


INTRODUCTORY. 


The territory now known as the Republic of Costa Rica was 
discovered by Columbus on the sth of October, 1502. It was 
called La Costa Rica (the rich coast) on account of the quantity 
of gold the Spaniards found there. If this name of the Re- 
public should need in any way to be confirmed, ample justifica- 
tion therefor would certainly be found, not only in the auriferous 
sands carried by her famous river, called in colonial times La 
Estrella, now Tilorio, or Changuinola, and in the wealth of her 
mines, especially those of the Aguacate Mountains, which, accord- 
ing to the expression of a distinguished writer, might more properly 
be called Gold Mountains (Montes de oro), but also in the wealth 
of her soil and her forests, and in the singularly privileged position 
she occupies in the central part of the American hemisphere, facing 
both oceans and bordering, more or less actually or directly upon 
the great interoceanic canal to be opened either through Panama or 
Nicaragua, or both, which will cause the commerce of the world 
to pass by Costa Rica and pay her tribute. 

The learned Costa Rican writer, Señor Don Joaquin Bernardo 
Calvo, from whose valuable works a considerable part of the infor- 
mation contained in this handbook is derived, has taken pains to 
ascertain the exact date in which the name of his country begins 
to appear in official records. He speaks of a report of certain 
expeditions under the command of Martin Estete, who in 1529 
explored the San Juan River, then called El Desaguadero (the

outlet), and also of a real cédula (royal ordinance) dated May 
14, 1541, where the name of Costa Rica appears as officially 
given to that section of the New World. * 

In colonial times Costa Rica was a province of what was called 
the Kingdom of Guatemala. But the uprising of that country 
against Spain, and the proclamation of its independence on the 
15th of September, 1821, secured for her an autonomic govern- 
ment. On the 22d of November, 1824, she became a State of 
the United Provinces of Central America (Las Provincias Unidas 
de Centro-América); but upon the dissolution of that confederacy 
she assumed her own sovereignty (August 30, 1848), and has been 
ever since an independent republic. 

The time seems to be rapidly approaching when Costa Rica, 
because of the homogeneous and progressive character of her popu- 
lation, will be called to enjoy the glorious days which Bolivar pre- 
dicted. 

“ Her magnificent position,” as he said, “ between the two oceans, 
may make her in time the emporium of the universe.” The inter- 
oceanic canal, whether on the north or the south of her territory, 
or on both sides, while shortening the distances of the world and 
rendering the commercial ties between Europe, Asia, and Ámerica 
closer and stronger, will attract to her territory the wealth and the 
enterprise of all parts of the globe. “ Perhaps,” Bolivar added, “the 
future capital of the earth will be established there, and hold that 


*The works of Señor Calvo on Costa Rica, which no one who wishes to become 
familiar with that country should fail to study, are: (1) La Repfiblica de Costa Rica.

The Republic of Costa Rica. Some facts and figures. Washington, D. C. 1890. 
(3) The Republic of Costa Rica. Chicago and New York. 1890. Another important 
work on Costa Rica is that written in “rench, by Mr. Paul Biolley, and translated into 
English by Mr. Cecil Charles, under the title of ** Costa Rica and her Future.” Wash- 
ington, D. C. 1889. 

+ The Dictionary of the Castilian language, published by the Royal Spanish Academy, 
twelfth edition, 1884, seems still to consider Costa Rica as a part of Guatemala. In 
defining the word Costa Rican, in Spanish Costarriqueño, says: ‘‘ Natural de Costa Rica. 
Perteneciente á este Estado de la República de Guatemala,” (A native of Costa Rica, 
belonging to this State of the Republic of Guatemala.)

very station which Constantine wanted for Byzantium when he 
established in it the seat of the empire.” 

The fact may be mentioned here that as far back as s 1830 the 
name of Costa Rica appears prominently connected with the work 
of an interoceanie canal across the Isthmus of Nicaragua. As 
shown by an appendix to Report No. 145, House of Representa- 
tives, Thirtteth Congress, second session, the government of the 
Central American Republic granted a Dutch company (Decem- 
ber 18, 1830) a concession to open the said canal, and pledged 
itself and the governors of the provinces of Nicaragua and Costa 
Rica to aid as far as practicable the execution of the work. 

Five years before, Don Antonio José Cañaz, the diplomatic 
representative of Central America in Washington, had written to 
Henry Clay, Secretary of State of the United States, inform- 
ing him that his Government had resolved to carry the enterprise 
to success; that “a company formed of American citizens of 
respectability was ready to undertake the work as soon as a treaty 
with the United States insuring the codperation of the latter was 
signed; that he was ready to enter into negotiations for the treaty, 
and that nothing would be more pleasant for Central America than 
to see the generous people of the United States joining her in the 
opening of the canal, sharing the glory of the enterprise, and en- 
joying the great advantages to be derived from it.” * 

The famous Danish scientist, Andreas Oersted, so well known 
for his discoveries in natural philosophy and other branches of 
science, made, in 1851, at the request of the Costa Rican Govern- 
ment, a survey for a canal through the river Sapoa to the port of 
Salinas, or Bolaños, in Costa Rica, and suggested some plans 
which, if carried on, might prove, perhaps, to be of immense ad- 
vantage to the country.t 


*Report No. 145, House of Representatives, Thirtieth Congress, second session, 
page 245. 

+The text of Oersted’s report was printed in English, in London, in 1851, by Clowes 
& Sons.

end to end in a straight line, without taking into account the 
numerous and sometimes deep indentations which it presents and 
are particularly noticeable in the proximity of Colombia, gives 
her a frontage of 180 English miles. Her Pacific coast, if meas- 
ured in the same way from Salinas Bay to Punta Burica, would 
make an ocean front of 270 miles; but as the Gulf of Nicoya, 
on the upper or northern part, and the gulf called Golfo Dulce, 
on the southern or lower end, considerably increase the length 
of the shore line, no exaggeration can be incurred in stating, with 
Biolley and other writers, that it is at least twice as long as that 
of the Atlantic. 

The principal ports of the Atlantic side are five, as follows: 
(1) The Bay of San Juan del Norte, which Costa Rica owns in 
common with her neighbor, the Republic of Nicaragua,* and 
seems to have been selected finally to be the Atlantic end of the 
Nicaragua interoceanic canal. (2) The mouth of the Colorado, 
often spoken of as the best place for the said Atlantic entrance of 
the canal. (3) The port of Moin, at about 70 miles south ot 
San Juan del Norte. (4) The port of Limon (Puerto Limon), 
now the terminal point of several lines of steamers, one from 
New Orleans, another from New York, and also from various 
European ports, and which is connected by a railway with San 
José, the capital, and other cities of the Republic. (5) Bocas del 
Toro, a large bay near the Colombian limit, formed and protected, 
like the Bay of New York, by a number of islands. 

The principal ports on the Pacific coast are ten, as follows: (1) 
The magnificent Bay of Salinas, which Costa Rica owns in com- 
mon with Nicaragua,t and has been suggested by many as the 
best and most adequate entrance for the Nicaragua interoceanic 

* Article vir of the treaty above cited reads: ‘‘Art. vir. The Bay of San Juan del 
Norte, as well as the Salinas Bay, shall be common to both Republics, and, therefore, 
both the advantages of their use and the obligations to contribute to their defense shall 


also be common.” 
¡t Article vi of the treaty of April 15, 1858, above quoted.

canal on the Pacific side.* (2) The port of Santa Elena. (3) The 
port of Murciélagos. (4) The Bay of Culebra, also spoken of as 
an advantageous terminus for the interoceanic canal on the Pacific 
side. (5) The Bay of Los Cocos. (6) The port of Ballena. (7) 
Puntarenas, a port connected by railway with the city of Esparza. 
(8) The port of Herradura. (9) Various ports in the Golfo Dulce, 
among which the great Bay of Pavón claims special mention. (10) 
The great Bay of David, near the southern end of the Republic. 

The mountains which cross the territory of Costa Rica in every 
direction appear to be composed of volcanic, or at least eruptive 
masses, surrounded by sedimentary formations of greater or lesser 
depth and cohesion, according to the localities. The country owes 
to them the diversity of its productions, and its beautiful, pictur- 
esque appearance. The highest mountain of the Republic is 
Pico Blanco (the White Peak) which rises to 11,800 English 
feet above the level of the sea.+ Of the six volcanoes which are 
to be found in her territory, two (Irazi and Barba) have not 
given in many years any sign of activity. The other four are 
called Turrialba, Poas, Orosi, and Miravalles. The highest vol- 
cano is Irazú, which reaches an elevation of 11,600 English feet 
above the level of the sea. The Miravalles, which is the lowest, 
rises to 4,700 English feet. 

The entire territory is crossed by rivers and streams of all sizes, 
which give the soil extraordinary fertility, and supply sufficient 
power for all kinds of industry. Some of them empty into the 
of Nicoya, and receives several affluents, the principal of which is

his work on the Canal of Nicaragua ; Mr. Thomé de Gammond, and others. The Nica- 
ragua Transit Company selected also Salinas Bay as its terminal point on the Pacific; 
and Mr. Thomas C. Reynolds, of the South American Commission, in his highly inter- 
esting report to the President of the United States, dated June 3, 1885, spoke with favor 
of the same idea.

Atlantic Ocean, others into the Pacific, others into the Lake of 
Nicaragua, and others are affluents of the San Juan River. The nav- 
igable rivers of the Republic directly emptying into the Atlantic 
Ocean are the following: (1) The San Juan River, which runs 
along the northern frontier of Costa Rica, and marks her limit 
from Punta de Castilla to a point 3 miles distant from Castillo 
Viejo.* This river was called originally El Desaguadero (The 
Outlet), because it was thought, although erroneously it seems, 
that it carried the waters of the Lake of Nicaragua into the At- 
lantic. Nicaragua has the exclusive dominion and sovereign juris- 
diction over the waters of this river; but the Republic of Costa 
Rica has the perpetual right of free navigation of those waters be- 
tween the two places above named.+ The bank itself, between 
the said limits, is Costa Rican territory. (2) The Colorado River, 
which is a branch of the San Juan. Its mouth appears conspicu- 
ously mentioned in many of the plans for the interoceanic canal, 
as its best and most practicable and desirable terminus on the 
Atlantic side.f (3) The Rio de la Estrella, which, as stated in 
the preceding chapter, was famous from the early days of the dis- 
covery on account of its auriferous sands. (4) The river named 
Teliri, or Sixiola. (5) The Changuinola River. 

The principal rivers which directly empty into the Pacific are 
the following: (1) The Tempisque, whose mouth is on the Gulf

* Article 11 of the treaty of April 15, 1858, between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, above 
cited. 

+ Article vi of the treaty of April 15, 1858, between Costa Rica and Nicaragua: “The 
Republic of Nicaragua shall have exclusively the dominion and sovereign jurisdiction 
over the waters of the San Juan River, from its origin on the lake to its mouth on the 
Atlantic; but the Republic of Costa Rica shall have the perpetual right of free naviga- 
tion on the said waters between the said mouth and the point three English miles dis- 
tant from Castillo Viejo.” 

4 The special report on Costa Rica of the South American Commission (March 3, 
1885) says: ‘‘ More important still is the Colorado River, which runs through one por- 
tion of this plain, conducting in its deep channel the waters of the San Juan River to 
the ocean. . . . The harbor at the mouth of the Colorado has deepened and im- 
proved by the additional water that river was discharging from the San Juan.” (Ex, 
Doc. No. 50, House of Representatives, Forty-ninth Congress, first session, page 128.)

the Las Piedras River, navigable for a certain distance. (2) The 
Barranca River, which empties into the ocean at the south of 
Puntarenas. (3) And the Rio Grande, whose mouth is at Tar- 
coles, a little north of Herradura. 

The most important rivers which empty into the Lake of Ni- 
caragua are the following: (1) The Sapoá, which has been men- 
tioned in connection with the' western division of the interoceanic 
canal, and is one of the elements in the demarkation of the dividing 
line with Nicaragua. (2) The Rio Frio, which reaches the Lake 
of Nicaragua, near the place where the San Juan River begins. 

The direct affluents of the San Juan River, which according to 
some writers * furnish (and not the lake) the volume of its waters, 
are the following: (1) The San Carlos River, which has been 
called “the pride of Costa Rica,” and is navigable for steamships 
for 60 miles inland from its mouth at the San Juan.t No doubt 
is entertained as to making it navigable for a greater distance, and 
for larger vessels, and thereby adding considerably to the pros- 
perity of that fertile region, only by removing the trunks of trees 
and other obstacles which its current has carried down from the. 
mountains. (2) The Sarapiqui River, which runs almost parallel 
to the San Carlos, at a distance of 20 miles towards the Atlantic, 
and has also a large volume of water. 

The water courses of the northern part of Costa Rica are, ac- 
cording to Biolley, the most important of all, on account of their 
volume and of the advantages they afford to navigation and com- 
merce. The San Carlosand the Sarapiqui are destined to be the 
principal arteries of commerce for the cities of Alajuela and He- 
redia, the former furnishing to a great extent the volume of water 
for the Ochoa dam of the Nicaragua Canal. 

M. de Peralta. 
+ In the special report on Costa Rica, above mentioned, page 128, the Commissioners 
(Thomas C. Reynolds and Solon O. Thacher) said: ‘‘ From this head of navigation 


(the junction of the two rivers) there is an easy and practicable route for a railroad to 
Alajuela, where it would meet a railroad now in operation to San José,” 


COSTA RICA. 9 


Politically and for the purposes of government, Costa Rica is 
divided into seven departments, or districts, five of which are 
called “provincias,” and the other two “comarcas.” The differ- 
ence between the former and the latter seems to consist chiefly in 
the number and density of their respective population. 

The provincias and their capitals are as follows: (1) San José; 
capital San José, which is at the same time the capital of the Re- 
public and the seat of the Government. (2) Alajuela; capital 
Alajuela. (3) Cartago; capital Cartago. (4) Heredia; capital 
Heredia. (5) Guanacaste; capital Liberia. 

The comarcas, with their respective capitals, or chief towns, are 
as follows: (1) The Comarca de Limón, a long strip of land, about 
so miles wide in the widest part, forming the whole front of Costa 
Rica on the Atlantic side; capital, Puerto Limón. (2) The Co- 
marca de Puntarenas, which runs along the Pacific coast of the 
Republic from the Gulf of Nicoya to the Colombian boundary, 
and is very narrow on its northern and central parts, but about 40 
or 45 miles wide near the southern frontier; capital, Puntarenas. 

According to the historian Juarroz, the population of Costa 
Rica in 1778 was 24,536 inhabitants; when the census of 1826 
was taken, the number was 61,840; and 74,565 in 1835. The 
following statement shows the population of the Republic by Prov- 
incias and Comarcas, according to the census of 1844, 1864, 1883,

* According to official statistical information, the total number of negroes in Costa Rica 
at the present time is 839, most of them laborers on the railroads and natives of Jamaica. 


10 COSTA RICA. 


According to the Anuario Estadístico de la República de Costa 
Rica for 1890, which is a Government publication, the population 
of the country on the 31st of December, 1890, was 238,782. 
This includes about 3,500 Indians in the district of Talamanca, in 
the Comarca of Limón, and in that of Guatusos, in the northern 
part of the province of Alajuela, near the Lake of Nicaragua. 

A most important feature of the population of Costa Rica con- 
sists in its ethnical constitution and its decided homogeneous 
character. Different in this respect from many other nations of 
Spanish America, Costa Rica has scarcely any negroes, and while 
among the elements of her population some specimens of mixed 
Spanish and Indian races are found, the great majority consists of 
white people, and as robust, healthy, intelligent, honest, and law 
abiding as can be found anywhere else in the world. 

The number of foreigners in Costa Rica, according to the Anua- 
rio Estadístico above cited, is 7,049. Prominent among them 
are the Italians, who number 1,317, and represent, therefore, much 
more than one-sixth of the total. The total number of Spanish- 
speaking foreigners, Central Americans, Mexicans, South Ameri- 
cans, Cubans, Porto Ricans, and European Spaniards, is 3,256. 
The citizens of the United States established in the country, as 
given by the census, are only 258, and the subjects of Her British 
Majesty (from the United Kingdom, 259, and from Jamaica, 907) 
are, in all, 1,166. 

As Costa Rica is mostly an agricultural, or perhaps still more 
properly, a coffee-growing country, a large part of her people consist 
of farmers and farm laborers, cart drivers, and muleteers. Señor 
Calvo gives the following figures: Farmers and planters, 7,479; 
day laborers, 18,278; cart drivers, 1,924; muleteers, 123; total, 
27,804 males; while among the females are included domestic 
servants (2,819), washerwomen (5,300), cooks (3,947), and linen- 
ironers (890), making a total of 12,956. 

Significant features of the census are that 17,174 inhabitants of 
the Republic are inscribed as students of higher branches; that the

pupils of the primary schools, both public and private, number 
23,000; and that there are 366 teachers and 360 governesses. Of 
lawyers there were only 78; physicians 25, pharmacists 44, and 
clergymen 119. 

As shown by the figures above printed, San José is now, and 
has been at all times, the most populated province of Costa Rica, 
as more than one-third of all the inhabitants of the Republic are 
settled within its limits. But, relatively speaking, that is, taking 
into consideration the area of the province and the relation between 
its extent and the number of inhabitants, Heredia is more densely 
populated than San José. In the whole Republic the ratio is 10 
inhabitants (Indians included) to the square mile. 

The provinces are subdivided in cantones (cantons), as follows : 

San José, seven cantones: San José, Escasu, Desamparados, 
Puriscal, Aserrí, Mora, and Tarrazú. 

Alajuela, seven cantones: Alajuela, San Ramon, Grecia, Atenas, 
San Mateo, Naranjo, Palmares. 

Cartago, three cantones: Cartago, Paraiso, La Union. 

Heredia, five cantones: Heredia, Barba, Santo Domingo, Santa 
Barbara, San Rafael. 

Guanacaste, six cantones: Liberia, Nicoya, Santa Cruz, Bagaces, 
Las Cafias, and Carrillo. 

The Comarca of Puntarenas comprises three cantones, which 
are Puntarenas, Esparza, and Golfo Dulce. 

The Comarca of Limon forms only one canton, which carries 
its own name. 

The Republic of Costa Rica is divided into eight judicial dis- 
tricts, with a court of first instance foreach. The judicial districts 
have the same extent, limits, name, and capital as the provinces 
or comarcas themselves; but San José is divided into two districts. 

Ecclesiastically, the whole territory of the Republic constitutes. 
a diocese of the Roman Catholic Church, at whose head there is 
a bishop, residing at San José. The diocese is divided into forty- 
two parishes.

CLIMATE AND SEASONS. 


Although Costa Rica, geographically, is a tropical country, her 
climate is not tropical, except on the coasts, and even there the 
heat is not excessive except at unusual times, being tempered 
by trade winds and sea breezes. In respect of climate the Re- 
public may be divided into three different zones or regions, which 
the people have very appropriately designated with the names of 
tierras calientes (hot lands), tierras templadas (temperate lands), and 
tierras frias (cold lands). 

The hot lands are those which form the low region, and extend 
from the seashore on the east and west, and from the right bank 
of the San Juan River, on the north, to a line in the interior of the 
country on the skirts of the mountains, 3,000 feet above the level 
of the sea. There the mean annual temperature, generally higher 
on the Pacific than on the Atlantic side, varies from 72° to 82° 
Fahrenheit. This region, which comprises almost one-third of the 
whole territory of the Republic, is admirably adapted to the culti- 
vation of the banana, cocoa, vanilla bean, sugar cane, and other 
tropical plants. 

The temperate lands, which form the second region, extend 
from the above-mentioned line, 3,000 feet above the level of the 
sea, to another line towards the top of the mountains, at an altitude 


12 


COSTA RICA. 13 


of 7,500 feet. This section of the country the South American 
Commissioners of 1884-85 described as follows: 


The valley and lower slopes of the mountains of Costa Rica, constituting its 
tierra templada, are the populous portions of the State. They possess a climate 
of wonderful salubrity, are well watered and very fertile. There is grown the 
great staple of export of the country, coffee. “The country surrounding San José, 
the present capital, and Cartago, the old Spanish seat of government, is very 
largely devoted to this branch of farming. Other products of the temperate 
zone flourish here, but coffee is the chief crop, and it is the principal source of 
revenue to the planters of the country. Sugar cane and fine tobacco also flour- 
ish in this altitude, and are raised in sufficient quantities to supply the domes- 
tic demand, but not for export. The coffee estates are small, generally from 
10 to 80 acres in extent; the tree is raised without shade trees, save that when 
the plants are small, banana trees are planted to protect them; but as soon as 
the coffee well covers the ground no further protection is needed. The fields, 
however, are all fenced with high hedges, usually of palmetto, cactus, and other 
flowering shrubs, and these rows serve to break the winds and to some extent 
modify the rays of the sun. 

Interspersed with the coffee fields are pastures, patches of corn and bananas, 
beans, and vegetables, while orange trees are seen here and there laden with 
fruit. 

The houses of the people are near together, built of large sun-dried adobe 
brick, roofed with tile, the common covering of all houses in Spanish America, 
and are comfortable abodes for the laborers of the land. The valleys are not 
plains, but uneven, broken through with numerous swift-flowing streams, and 
the inclosing mountains are not abrupt, and their declivities are generally tilled 
to their summits. | 

It would be difficult to imagine a more lovely landscape, a more beautiful 
blending of streams, fields, villages, white and glowing, among the green foliage 
of coffee plantations, and mountain slopes dotted with the vivid green of sugar 
cane, and the gray and brown pastures of fields of corn, than can be seenin the 
valley of San José.* 


The third section, or cold lands, extend from the altitude above 
mentioned, 7,500 feet above the level of the sea, to the top of the 
mountains. The difference between the temperature of day and 
night is felt here most keenly. Not infrequently the ground

resentatives, Forty-ninth Congress, first session, page 129. 


14 COSTA RICA. 


appears covered with hoar frost in the morning. Snow, however, 
is extremely rare. 

The mean annual temperature in the temperate lands varies from 
57° to 68° F. 

There are only two well-defined seasons in Costa Rica, and are 
called verano (summer) and invierno (winter). The summer is 
the dry season, and generally begins in November and ends in 
April. The rainy season, or winter, extends from May to the end 
of October. On the Pacific side rains are less frequent and copious 
than on the side of the Atlantic. Tempests, cyclones, hurricanes, 
and other calamities which afflict periodically other lands are 
unknown in Costa Rica. The topographical conditions of the 
country also exempt her people from any fear of floods. Even 
the earthquakes, to which all volcanic countries are more or less 
frequently subject, are not as severe in Costa Rica as in other parts 
of Central America. One of the severest ever felt was that of 
December 30, 1888, which shook several public buildings at San 
José, and caused great damage tn some other cities. 

According to the Anuario Estadístico of 1890, the number of 
deaths which occurred that year was 5,485, or 1 to every 38 in- 
habitants. The fact has been observed for many years that the 
mortality of children under the age of 10, represents 50 and some- 
times 60 per cent of the total. According to Sefior Calvo, Biolley, 
and other writers, the explanation of this is to be found, not in any 
climatic peculiarity, or in anything which might be construed as 
poverty, or lack of means in the people, but in many erroneous 
ideas about the proper way of nursing and taking care of the 
-children which prevail among the peasants. The statistics often 
show a great number of cases of longevity. The census of 1883 
recorded 140 people over go years of age, and 21 who had passed 
the age of 100. 

The study of the climatology of Costa Rica has made great pro- 
gress in the last years, owing to the intelligent attention given to

it by the Government. The Meteorologic Institute of San José 
has been enlarged and organized so as to make it a physico- 
geographical and meteorologic establishment, and according to what 
Biolley says, the professor who has been placed at its head, Mr. H. 
Pittier, is a most competent person, having all the necessary quali- 
fications to satisfactorily perform the duties which are intrusted to 
him. An interesting bulletin was published in 1890 by Mr. Pit- 
tier, under the title of Notes on the Climate and Geography of the 
Republic of Costa Rica. 


Chapter IV. 


PRINCIPAL CITIES AND PROVINCES. 


San José, the capital, is in every respect the most important city 
of the Republic. It is not only (ever since 1823) the seat of the 
National Government, but also the capital of the province of San 
José, and the most populous of all. It is situated at an altitude 
of 3,868 feet above the level of the sea, and has a population of 
24,000 inhabitants. It stands in a beautiful valley, whose area is 
of about 2,000 square kilometers, and in the immediate neighbor- 
hood of two small rivers, the Torres and the Maria Aguilar. Its 
latitude is 9º 56’ north, and its longitude 84º west of Greenwich. 

- San José has been much visited by strangers and is provided with 
hotels which offer the traveler all desirable comforts. The most 
important of its public buildings are the National Palace, the 
President's Palace, the Palace of Justice, the Bishop's Palace, the 
old University of St. Thomas, with its museum, its library, and 
its archives, the Zion College, the Ecclesiastical ‘Seminary, the 
Young School, the Lyceum of Costa Rica, the Hospital of St. 
John of God, founded in 1799 by Bishop Tristan, the Asylum for 
the Insane, the Orphan Asylum, the Market House, the Bank of 
the Union, the National Liquor Factory, and the Military Barracks. 

The Cathedral is an imposing edifice, and next to it the Church 
of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Nuestra Señora del Carmen) 
commands attention. San José has some other churches, and also 
a Masonic Temple built in 1868, and one Protestant place of 
worship which is attended by residents of all denominations. 

16 


COSTA RICA. 17 


The city is lighted at night with electricity. It has an aqueduct 
provided with all the necessary appurtenances, filters, fountains, 
etc., built according to modern methods and with material sent 
trom the United States. 

San José is connected by rail with the port of Limon on the 
Atlantic and soon will be united also with the port of Puntarenas 
on the Pacific. The railroad depot, storehouses, workshops, etc., 
are admirably adapted for their purposes. The cemeteries are fine, 
and beautifully kept, and also the parks. especially the Central 
Park, and the Park of Morazan. The houses in. the principal 
streets are one and two stories high, and have a pleasant appear- 
ance. They are built in the Spanish fashion, with patios or court- 
yards, generally adorned with plants and flowers, and sometimes 
with a fountain in the center. The police are organized under 
strict military discipline. 

From a commercial point of view San José is also the most im- 
portant city of the Republic. It is the residence of the wealthiest 
merchants, and the center of business. It has many first-class 
stores, three breweries, several factories, and all sorts of shops and 
commercial establishments. The National Liquor Factory has no 
rival in Central America. 

The San José University has a library, which is also the national 
library, with thousands of interesting books. The International 
Club, which has commodious quarters and counts among its mem- 
bers almost all noted Costa Ricans, has also a library of 5,000 vol- 
umes. The San José Philharmonic Society is a very popular 
association, which has worked with considerable success to secure 
the cultivation of music and the musical taste which is noticed 
in the country. There is also a National School of Music, sup- 
ported by the Government. 

The principal hotels are The Gran Hotel, C. de Benedictis, pro- 
prietor; Hotel Francés, José Vigne, proprietor; Hotel Victor, 
Victor Aubert, proprietor; Jlotel de Roma, José Sacripanti,

proprietor; the Café and Restaurant de Paris, Messrs. Rava & 
Allard, proprietors; and others. ) 

Desamparados, situated about 5 kilometers southeast of San 
José, is the chief town of the canton of its name. It has fine 
streets, handsome churches, good, comfortable houses, and is the 
center of a very rich agricultural district. 

Escasú is the chief town of another canton, to which it also gives 
its name, and is situated about 5 miles southwest of San José. It 
is the center of a district where coffee of the most excellent qual- 
ity is abundantly raised, and has a delightful and healthy climate. 

“Puriscal, which is the principal center of population of its can- 
ton, is situated 47 kilometers southwest of San José, and is pro- 
gressing rapidly. The lands which surround it are noted for their 
wonderful fertility. It also possesses, near by, some coal mines, 
which are said to be rich. 

The town of Aserri, situated about 12 kilometers southeast of 
the capital of the Republic, is the center of a flourishing coffee- 
growing district, and the chief town of the canton of its name. 
It was founded before the days of the Spanish rule. 

Pacaca is the chief town of the canton of Mora. It is situated 


19 kilometers southwest of San José, and is also an old Indian 
town. The canton of Mora is remarkable, among other things, for 


the beauty of the pita straw hats manufactured there. 

San Marcos is the chief town of the canton of Tarrazú. It is 
situated about 70 kilometers south of San José, in a very moun- 
tainous region, and is a healthy and invigorating resort, frequented 
by sick people. 


PROVINCE OF CARTAGO. 
The city of Cartago, the capital of the province of its name, 
situated in the beautiful Cartago Valley, in olden times the Guarco 


Valley, at the foot of the volcano Irazú, 4,930 feet above the level 
of the sea, is one of the best located cities of Costa Rica.

Its streets are beautiful and its climate excellent. It is on the 
line of the railroad to the Atlantic and has a population of 7,800 
inhabitants. Its churches and other buildings, both public and pri. 
vate, are worthy of attention. 

Cartago was founded in 1563 by Don Juan Vazquez de Coro- 
nado, and was the seat of the Government until 1823. It is about 
13 miles east of San José, and is connected by a tramway with 
the celebrated Bella Vista hot springs, at the foot of the Irazú, which 
are visited every year by great numbers of people. The tramway 
is 3 miles long, and the trip is made in half an hour. The water 
of these hot springs (aguas calientes) has a temperature of 135° 
Fahrenheit, and, according to the general helief, is a sure remedy, 
used externally in baths, for rheumatism, gout, and diseases of all 
kinds in the skin. The following is the analysis of the Bella 
Vista water, made in September 2, 1881, in New York City, by 
Mr. C. F. Chandler, a doctor of pharmacy :

The town of Paraiso, which is the principal center of popula- 
tion in the canton of the same name, is comparatively modern, as 
it was founded in 1832. The lands of the canton are fertile, and 
have been devoted to the cultivation of coffee and sugar cane and 
to the raising of cattle. 

La Union is the chief town of the canton of its name. It isa 
beautiful, healthy, and flourishing city. Its importance rapidly 


20 COSTA RICA. 


increases, not only on account of its climatic conditions and the 
beauty of the location, but also because it is the center of one of 
the richest coffee districts of the Republic. 


PROVINCE OF ALAJUELA. 


The city of Alajuela, which is the capital of the province, and 
also the chief town of its own canton, is situated at about 18 kilo- 
meters from the capital of the Republic, and has a population of 
7,250 inhabitants. It is on the line of the railroad to the Atlantic, 
and about 4.5 miles from the Pacific coast. It has a high school, 
well organized, and supported by the Government. 

Grecia is the chief town of the canton of its name, and the cen- 
ter of a rich agricultural district, which excites attention, among 
other things, for the flourishing sugar plantations which are found 
within its limits. Coffee is largely cultivated here, and much atten- 
tion is paid also to the raising of cattle. 

San Ramon is also the chief town of a canton which bears the 
same name. It is the center of a rich district, and has a public 
library and some newspapers. 

Naranjo is the chief town of the canton of the same name, and 
deserves special mention, not only for the fertility of the country 
which surrounds it, but for the energy and public spirit of its 
‘inhabitants. This canton is now in rapid progress and stands 
within the rich and famous valley of San Carlos. 


PROVINCE OF HEREDIA. 


- The city of Heredia, the capital of the province, has now a popu- - 
lation of 7,300 inhabitants, a good high school, and many build- 
ings of importance. It is connected by rail with the provinces of 
San José, Cartago, and Alajuela and with the port of Limon on 
the Atlantic. 

In 1751 it contained only 93 houses (24 adobe and tile-roofed 
buildings, and 69 thatched houses) and one church; but now ic

COSTA RICA. 21 


is one of the most flourishing cities of the Republic. It covers 
more than 100 manzanas, and has two very imposing churches, a 
fine waterworks system, and a literary and scientific association, 
called “El Estudio,” which has attained great reputation in the 
country. | 

The town of Barba is the principal center of population of its 
canton, and one of the oldest cities in Costa Rica. Its proximity 
to the source of the river Sarapiquí insures for it commercial ad- 
vantages of great importance. 

The town of Santo Domingo, said to be the home of the most 
beautiful women of Costa Rica, 1s the chief town of the rich can- 
ton of the same name. 

Santa Barbara, situated between Barba and Alajuela, is another 
town looking forward to a great future when it shall have easy 
communication by the San Carlos and the Sarapiquí with the 
San Juan River and all ports on the north. 

San Rafael is the chief town of the fertile canton of the same 


name. 
PROVINCE OF GUANACASTE. 


The extensive province of Guanacaste is an important section 
of the Republic, not only for the variety of its products, but for 
its topographical position. It is divided into five cantons, Liberia, 
Nicoya, Santa Cruz, Bagaces, and Las Cañas. The city of' 
Liberia is the capital of the province, and its central location and 
advancement have made itso. Itspopulationis 5,692. Santa Cruz 
and Nicoya, which follow it in importance, are both in the penin- 
sula which forms one side of the Gulf of Nicoya, and have respect- 
ively a population of 5,697 and 4,588 inhabitants. Stock-farm- 
ing and the felling of timber are the principal occupations of the 


inhabitants. 
COMARCA OF PUNTARENAS. 


The city of Puntarenas is the capital of this comarca, and has a 
population of 3,500 inhabitants. It was for a long time the 


22 COSTA RICA. 


principal port of entry of the country; but now, owing to the de- 
velopment of the commerce on the Atlantic side, its harbor is not 
as often visited by foreign vessels as formerly. Puntarenas enjoys 
a healthful climate the greater part of the year, and in spite of its 
tropical temperature serves as a pleasure resort for well-to-do fami- 
lies of the interior, during the dry season. It is connected by rail 
with Esparza, and soon will be with Alajuela. It has good build- 
ings and an excellent iron pier. 


COMARCA OF LIMÓN. 


Puerto Limon is the capital of this comarca. It is connected 
by rail with the cities of San José, Cartago, Heredia, and Ala- 
juela. The city is growing rapidly and in a way entirely differ- 
ent from everything found elsewhere in Central America. The 
houses, some of them 3 stories high, are built in the American 
style. The largest steamers can come alongside the pier, a con- 
venience unknown elsewhere in Central America.

locality, and told his attendants that he had noticed everywhere in 
that country the most valuable ores. An examination soon after 
made, showed the accuracy of Bishop Garcia’s observations, and 
in 1825 two rich mines, respectively named, La Sacra Familia and 
San Miguel, commenced to be worked. No labor was under- 
taken in the real Monte del Aguacate mines until after Costa Rica 
became an independent nation. 

It may be said, however, that this great wealth, which consists 
not only in gold but also in silver, copper, and lead, is not yet de- 
veloped. The mining industry of the Republic is still in its 
infancy. It has had to struggle with all sorts of difficulties, and 
the wonder is how it has been able to survive, In the first place 
it had to pass through the severe ordeal which more or less intensely 
befell all the nations of Spanish America while struggling for their 
independence. In the second place, it had to overcome obstacles 
which might be called insuperable, and depended in some instances 
upon the lack of skilled labor, or proper machinery and improved 
appliances, and in some others upon the scanty supply of quick- 
silver or its high price. In all cases the difficulties and the cost 
of transportation, especially in the days when no railroads existed 
in the country, acted also as a check to enterprise, and prevented 
capital from being invested in mines, particularly when agricul- 
ture offered a field more ample, more remunerative, and less 
difficult to operate. It is, therefore, much to the credit of Costa 
Rica that she can make such a fine exhibit of her efforts in this 
respect, as appears from her Anuario Estadístico of 1890, the 
reports of the United States consuls, and the books of Señor 
Calvo and Mr. Biolley. Up to 1890 the gold mines of Aguacate 
alone had yielded about $7,000,000.

Great efforts have been made in gold mining in the Ciruelitas 
districts ever since 1888. These mines are 18 miles north of the 
port ot Puntarenas, and are situated at an altitude varying from 
1,500 to 2,000 feet above the level of the sea. The climate is 
salubrious, water and timber are abundant, and the roads are in good 
condition. The proximity to the sea dispenses with the necessity 
of having only high-gradé quartz gold. 

Mr. Beckford Mackey, United States consul at José, Costa Rica, 
in an interesting report, dated April 13, 1891, on the mines and 
mining laws of that country, expresses himself as follows: 

The Andean spur of the Pacific is the mining region of Costa Rica. Min- 
ing has not as yet had a fair chance in this country, as prior to a very recent 
date the methods in vogue were of the crudest and most unscientific description. 
- Within the last four years several English companies have embarked their capi- 


tal in Costa Rican mines, The prospect is reported to be encouraging. The 
mines of Mount Aguacate have been worked by various companies during a 


26 COSTA RICA. 


period extending over many years, and have yielded almost all the gold that 
this country has produced. The Trinidad and the Tres Hermanos are owned 
by English companies. There is a 20-stamp mill at La Unión, and another at 
Los Tres Hermanos. La Trinidad has a 40-stamp mill, 

The mining laws of the Republic are the same old Spanish 
ordinances, more or less, changed in the year 1830. The code is 
diffuse, verbose, technical, and so obscure as to be at times scarcely 
intelligible. A considerable portion of the laws is obsolete. The 
policy of the Government is exceedingly favorable to the mining 
industry, as it is indeed to every enterprise of public utility, and 
foreigners are in every respect allowed the same privileges as citi- 
zens of the country. No permission or license from the Govern- 
ment is required to work a mine; but denouncement is necessary 
to obtain a perfect title. The first denouncer acquires the owner- 
ship of the mine. Mines may be denounced either on public or 
private lands by any person whatever. When a mine is situated 
on private lands the denouncer will have to indemnify the land 
owner for the damages caused to his property, as assessed by experts 
appointed by the parties. The legal extent of a mining claim is 
200 varas* in length by 100 in breadth. If the mine is situated in 
a region where no others had been discovered before, the discoverer 
will be allowed to denounce three claims on the main vein and 
one claim on every minor vein. In all other cases no person is 
entitled to more than one claim, and what is called the “contin- 
uation” thereof, that is, the right to follow the vein through one 
additional contiguous claim. Mines abandoned for one year be- 
come vacant and are again denounceable. The denouncement of 
all mines is to be made by written memorial addressed to the judge, 
called “delo Contencioso Administrativo,” who has jurisdiction in 
cases in which the Government is interested as a party to the trans- 
action. This memorial shall set forth the name, residence, place of 
birth, and occupation of the denouncer, and shall contain as minute a 


* One vara is about 33 inches, 


\ 


COSTA RICA. 27 


description of the locality in which the mine is situated, and of all 
its distinctive marks and signs, as is required to perfectly identify 
the claim denounced. A notice of the denouncement must be pub- 
lished three times in the official gazette, and all persons interested 
summoned to appear and set forth their objections, if they have any. 
If no contestant appears, the denouncer is given sixty days time 
to sink a shaft on the mine at least 10 varas deep, so as to en- 
able the Government engineer to do as explained hereafter. Assoon 
as the sixty days are over the judge will appoint an engineer, who 
will go to the place and measure, examine, and draw a plan of the 
mine. If no difficulty arises, the denouncement is then complete. 
The only expenses attendant on this process are the fee and ex- 
penses of the engineer. 

Mining machinery is admitted without the payment of custom 
duties. There isno Government or municipal tax levied on mines. 
The law makes no distinction between the mines of precious and 
the other metals, 


Chapter VI. 


THE FORESTS OF COSTA RICA. 


Costa Rica, like all the other countries of Central and South 
America, has in her forests incalculable wealth, but up to the pres- 
ent time, and owing to various reasons, among which the sparseness 
of population and the ever-increasing demands of the coffee indus- 
try are prominent, but little attention has been given, and only 
in the localities near the sea, to this great element of prosperity. 

The Costa Rican forests abound in mahogany, cedar, rosewood, . 
lignum-vite, granadillo, and many other precious woods suitable 
for cabinet-making and building purposes. In recent times dye- 
woods have decreased in value, owing to the low price of mineral 
colors. But there are trees of this class in Costa Rica which, if 
properly cultivated, would amply pay for the efforts made. Prom- 
inent among these are the annotto, much in use for coloring but- 
ter, cheese, and all kinds of food; the cúrcuma (a root similar in 
appearance to ginger); the indigo, and the famous Brazil wood. 
The indigo of Central America is of a superior quality and brings 
a high price in all markets. The native industry utilizes the 
coloring properties of a great number of other plants which have 
no commercial value. 

Medicinal plants also abound in all parts of the country. Among 
them mention may be made of the castor bean, the croton, the 
cassia, the sarsaparilla, the ipecacuanha, the gingef, the rhubarb, 
the tamarind, the licorice, and a host of others, which might well 
attract the attention of botanists and chemists. The trees called

quinquinas falsas contain in their bark abundant quantities of 
quinine. 

The india rubber gathered in the Costa Rica forests is obtained 
from the Castilloa elastica. In former times the method of gather- 
ing the rubber frequently resulted in the complete destruction of 
the tree. But the Government has taken the matter in hand, and 
by granting premiums to the planters, and other adequate meas- 
ures, has succeeded in securing a great improvement. 

There are also a vast number of resinous plants. Several species 
of quiebrahacha produce a gum similar to gum arabic. The copal 
resin is abundant everywhere 1 in the lowlands of. the north, and on 
the Pacific coast various species of the myroxylum plant, which 
yields the well-known balsam of Peru and Tolu, have been found 
recently in large quantities. This brief review of the forestal 
wealth of Costa Rica, sufficient to show what a vast field for for- 
eign enterprise, intelligence, and capital 1s found there in this line, 
will be aptly supplemented by an interesting report of Mr. John 
Schroeder, United States consul at San José, dated March 28, 
1885, which reads as follows: 

Augmented trade between manufacturing countries seeking markets for their 
overproduction, and countries whose income principally depends upon the sale 
of the natural products of their soil, can only take place when these primitive 
products find reciprocal customers. 

As the consumption of the Central and South American hard-wood materials is 
yearly increasing, and these countries are in steady need of American goods, it is 
timely to call the attention to the magnificent hard woods of Costa Rica, especially 
in the San Carlos and adjoining valleys. Undoubtedly equally good timber regions 
exist in other States, for instance in Blueheld Valley, Nicaragua, but this and 
other territories lie outside my consular district, and I shall therefore here only 
make a statement of the San Carlos timber region. 

The first condition for successful export of logs and lumber, if not always an 
easy, is a feasible transportation from the woods to the shipping place. Through 
the northern part of Costa Rica a number of rivers run from the Andes in a 
northerly direction and empty into Lake Nicaragua, and Rio San Juan del 
Norte, whose water, through the deep channel of the Rio Colorado, empties 


30 COSTA RICA. 


into the Atlantic. ‘The whole territory from the foot of the Andes to the Rio 
San Juan forms a sloping level, without intervening mountain ranges between 
the more or less parallel-flowing rivers. 

From its principal river this territory is generally named San Carlos Valley. 
The whole valley is covered with hard woods, counting more than thirty differ- 
ent sorts, 

With exception of the Guatusos, an Indian tribe 800 strong, and a few settlers 
in and near the Andes Mountains, this territory is unpopulated. Still its tim- 
ber has not been untouched, as thievish bands, often to the number of several 
hundred, for scores of years have scoured the San Carlos Valley, destroying 
nearly all the valley rubber trees and shipping to Greytown materials of hard 
“wood growing near the river banks. The damage done foots up to millions of 
dollars, but there is nevertheless an almost incalculable amount of first-class 
hard wood left, as the depredators have not operated with regular lumber camps 
and machines. 

San Carlos Valley, with surrounding territory, contains about one-sixteenth 
part of the whole of Costa Rica, or about 2,000 English square miles, equal to 
1,280,000 acres, and by an estimate of 1,000 cubic feet hard wood per acre the 
above number of acres will give 1,280,000,000 cubic feet. In lumber yards at 
New Orleans or New York this would sell at 75 cents per cubic foot, making 
the total value of the product equal to $960,000,000. 

The outlet for this timber is independent of the Nicaraguan or any other 
-canal schemes. Nature has already formed the necessary canal for steamers 
and vessels. The Heredia for instance, a flat-bottomed iron steamer of 290 
tons burden, plying between New Orleans and Limon, can, from the Atlantic, 
‘through the Colorado, San Juan, and San Carlos Rivers, go into the very heart 
of the timber region. The distances and depth of these canal rivers are as fol- 
lows: 

The channel in the bar leading from the Atlantic or Caribbean Sea along the 
left bank, from 20 to 30 feet. The harbor formed by the river Colorado, 60 
feet deep. The river Colorado, 60 feet deep and 12 English miles long from 
the Atlantic to the point east where the same stream is called the river San Juan. 

San Juan River, from the Colorado to the river San Carlos, has in the dry 
season 12 feet and in the wet season 24 feet of water. Distance from the upper 
end of the Colorado to the mouth of the San Carlos River, 51 miles. At the 
mouth of the San Carlos River the water has also, according to seasons, from 12 
to 24 feet depth. Distance from mouth of the San Carlos due south to the first 
rapids, 62 miles, and its water during the dry season 6 feet deep. 

The dry season in San Carlos Valley includes February, March, April, May, 

.and the first part of June. | 


COSTA RICA. 3 l 


All sorts of transports, flats, tugs, and flat-bottomed salt-water steamers can, 
consequently, move from the ocean to the Upper San Carlos, a distance of 125 
English miles. ‘The current running from Nicaragua Lake, San Juan proper, 
carries considerably less water until it reaches San Carlos River. The small 
ocean steamer Heredia got stuck in this part of San Juan River about two years 
ago during the dry season, but regular flats can pass at any season. ‘The above 
statements may prove the existence of a natural and feasible canal outlet and 
shipping place for logs and lumber grown in San Carlos Valley. 

This report will not treat of the fertility of the soil and the vegetation. It 
will state nothing in regard to crops that can be successfully grown, but will 
only give figures in regard to crops that are already ripe for harvesting, namely, 
the timber in this valley. Suppose a party or company with limited capital in- 
vested in lumber operations and trade, the enterprise would probably give the 
following practical result. One man chops and prepares per day 30 cubic feet.

AGRICULTURAL AND OTHER RESOURCES.” 


Coffee was first. planted in Costa Rica in the year 1796, from 
seed brought from Havana by Francisco Xavier Navarro, dur- 
ing the administration of the Spanish governor, Don José Vas- 
quez y Tellez. The first grains were planted at Cartago, where 
the original trees, from which all the coftee of Costa Rica, and 
even of Central America, has been derived, can yet be seen, it is 
said, in a flourishing condition. The development of the valuable 
industry was largely due to the efforts of a Catholic priest, Father 
Velarde, who lived during the administration of the Spanish gov- 
ernor, Don Tomas Acosta (1797-1810). Since the independ- 
ence it has been the unbroken policy of the Government to favor 
coffee production. Don Juan Mora, the first President of Costa 
Rica (1824-1833), exempted coffee from export duties and 
granted special privileges to its cultivators. President Carrillo, in 
1840, caused model coffee plantations to be established, and Presi- 
dent Don Juan Rafael Mora (1849-1859), by constructing many im- 
portant roads, especially the wagon road leading to Puntarenas, 
report of Mr. J. Richard Wingfield, United States consul at San José, dated October 
18, 1887, who quoted literally the preceding part from one of Senor Calvo's works, 
Due attention has also been paid to the book of Mr. Biolley, and the Anuario estadis- 


tico de Costa Rica for 1890.

COFFEE BERRY. 


COSTA RICA. 33 


vastly contributed to the development of this important branch of 
agriculture and commerce. Notwithstanding the war against 
Walker, and the cholera which followed that war and decimated 
the population of Costa Rica, the exportation of coffee reached, in 
1861, 100,000 quintals.* The prices paid ever since for Costa 
Rican coffee, especially in England, have caused almost all other 
branches of agriculture to be abandoned, and in 1884 360,000 
quintals of coffee were exported. 

For starting a coffee plantation, if the farmer makes his own 
nursery, as is generally the case, the seeds must be planted in May, 
so as to be ready for setting out also in May on the following year. 
Two years afterwards there will be a sprinkling of coffee and at 
the end of three years there will be a fair crop. The yield will 
continue to increase each year until the grove is seven years of age, 
when a full crop is produced. In setting out groves the trees are 
spaced from 10 to 15 feet each way, making as an average 500 
trees to the acre. The coffee is a delicate plant, and needs protec- 
tion from wind and sun. To this end bananas and a quick-growing, 
wide-branching tree called poró blanco are planted. The latter 
is also planted in close hedges around the field. The first year 
small crops, such as potatoes and beans, between the rows, are not 
considered injurious. Where the land is very fertile the young 
tree is topped when one year old, and two branches allowed to put 
out, which are topped at the end of the second year, and each 
allowed to throw out two branches. This topping is to prevent 
the trees from growing so tall as to make it inconvenient to gather 
“the fruit; but it is not practiced so much now as it was formerly. 
After the plantation begins to bear from five to six weedings are 
needed each year. This is done altogether by hand labor, and the 
culture must be very shallow. Immediately before the coffee-picking 
season, a laborer provided with a sharp wide spade, and going not 
more than an inch deep, turns over the land, throwing it from the

middle of the row towards the trees. This process, called “ aporcar,” 
gives a smooth clean surface around the trees, so that all coffee 
dropped in picking may be saved. Near the close of the dry sea- 
son, which lasts from December to April, the second labor, which 
consists in scraping the soil with long knives, is carefully performed. 
This process, called “ raspar,” is repeated at intervals of six weeks 
to two months. An incidental benefit of this operation is that 
the grass and leaves are collected in a heap in the middle of the 
row, where they rot and make good manure. The annual cost 
per acre of working a coffee plantation varies in different localities, 
according to the nature of the soil, but the average may be stated 
at $6. 

Taking a series of years the average annual yield of the coffee 
plantations of Costa Rica may be placed at 25 quintals per acre. 
Statistics collected at the taking of the census in 1890 show that 
at that time there were 8,130 coffee plantations, with 26,558,251 
coffee trees. The crop was 333,032 quintals. Coffee is grown 
successfully in Costa Rica between the limits of 2,500 and 5,000 
feet elevation above the sea level, but at about 4,000 feet elevation 
the best results are obtained. The statistics of the crop of 1889-90 
sustain this view.

COFFEE PATIO.

claimed that while Cartago does not yield so much coffee per acre 
as Heredia and San José, the flavor and quality of its berry 
are better. In the provinces of Heredia, Alajuela and San José, 
almost all the lands well suited for coffee-growing have already been 
brought into cultivation; but between Cartago and the Reventa- 
zon Valley, on the Atlantic side, there are vast lands, said to be 
better adapted for the growth of coffee than even those of Heredia 
and San José. 

The price of coffee continues to rise every year. In 1884 it was 
$10 per quintal; in 1885, $12.50; in 1887, $18, and lately $20 
and $22. This is due, not only to the recognized excellence of 
the product, but also to the increase of consumption and the con- 
siderable decrease of the crops in Brazil during the last years. 

The preparation of coffee for the market constitutes the princi- 
pal industry of the country, and the establishments where this work 
is accomplished usually consist of a series of buildings’ for the 
various processes through which the grain has to pass before becom- 
ing marketable. The preparation of coffee, as practiced in Costa 
Rica, consists of the following operations: 

(1) The coffee berries are ground lightly, and washed in run- 
ning water, in tanks, where the fermentation begins. This grind- - 
ing frees the berry from a portion of its pericarp, and the washing 
takes away the pulpy portion which otherwise would adhere tena- 
ciously to the bean and render its immediate desiccation difficult. 
The grinding is not always done, but the fermentation process is 
absolutely necessary to obtain what is called washed coffee. 

(2) After the coffee berries are freed from the pulp and removed 
from the tank they are spread out in the open air in great patios, 
or court yards, and left there exposed to the sun until the grains 
are dry. This drying operation is the most important of all, and 
so a rainy summer is considered as one of the direst calamities 
which can befall the country. Drying machines have lately been 
introduced, to replace the action of the sun in unfavorable seasons; 
but this manner of curing is too expensive. 


36 COSTA RICA. 


(3) When the coffee is removed from the patios the grains will 
be either hidden in the dry pericarp, if the berries were not ground 
at the beginning, or covered with a horny substance if they were 
ground. In either case the coverings must be broken, and this is 
done by means of a mill properly constructed for the purpose, 
formerly. moved by oxen, but now by hydraulic power. 

(4) Before the coffee is ready to be sent to the market it has still 
to undergo another operation. It must be freed from the fine skin 
which covers each grain; and this is done by means of a very 
simple machine, composed of two cylinders of rough surface 
moving in opposite directions. 

(5) The coffee thus prepared must then be sorted; the grains 
are to be arranged according to their size and quality, and the 
broken or damaged ones are to be removed. This sorting is done 
either by machine or by hand; in the latter case women and chil- 
dren are employed. | 


BANANAS. 


In Bulletin No. 1 of the Bureau of the American Republics a 
very important paper was published, under the title of “The Trade 
-in Fruitsand Nuts; Where Bananas come from, and how they are 
Produced,” which was prepared by Mr. Richard Villafranca, for- 
merly the consul of Costa Rica in San Francisco, Cal., and one 
of the secretaries of the delegation of Honduras in the Interna- 
tional American Congress, who is fully equipped to speak authori- 
tatively on the subject. It appears from that paper that the im- 
portation of bananas in the United States has been constantly in- 
creasing; and that, after the British West Indies and Cuba and 
Honduras, Costa Rica is the country which furnishes the United 
States with this fruit. 

But, as shown by the Anuario Estadistico of Costa Rica for 
1890, the United States is not the only country to which she sends 
bananas, nor the country which buys them from her in the largest

DRYING COFFEE. 


COSTA RICA. 37 


quantity. The returns of the Puerto Limón custom-house show 
that 1,034,765 bunches of bananas were exported during the year 
1890, and that their value there was $622,671. But, as each bunch 
is sold in the United States sometimes at $3 and never at less than 
$1, the value here was from $1,034,765 to $3,104,295. 

The first cargo of bananas ever sent from Costa Rica to the 
United States was shipped on board the steamer Earnholm, which 
on the 7th of February, 1880, left Limon for New York. This 
cargo consisted of no more than 360 bunches. Before that time - 
the banana trees were thought of only as proper plants to be used 
in the coffee estates, both for shading the young coffee trees and 
for protecting the coffee berries, before ripening, against the wind. 
The banana itself was either used to feed the pigs or allowed to 
go to absolute waste. Four years later, in 1884, there were 350 
. banana estates with 570,000 trees, and the bunches exported were 
425,000. Subsequently, and owing to the establishment of fruit 
companies which fitted out steamers and built a trade of this kind 
between the United States and the countries on the Gulf of Mex- 
ico and the Caribbean Sea, bananas became valuable as an article 
of commerce, and plantations were started in great number, espe- 
cially on the banks of the rivers and other localities of easy access. 

The lands better suited for this purpose are those rich in alluvial 
deposits, consisting chiefly of blue clay, with a considerable quan- 
tity of decomposed vegetable matter and some common salt. On 
the largest, richest, and best organized banana estates the trees are 
planted from 12 to 15 feet apart, in cuadros, or square areas of dif- 
ferent extent. The banana tree grows best in the localities where 
the rain is abundant or water is plentifully supplied by other 
means. It is generally at the end of nine months that the plants 
mature, and after that time the fruit can be gathered every week 
in the year, provided the plantation has been well kept and has 
had a good start. The bunch of fruit consists of from 4 to 12 of 
what are termed “hands,” each hand having 8 to 12 bananas on it. 


38 COSTA RICA. 


A bunch of 8 hands or clusters is counted a full bunch, while 
those that have from 5 to 7 are taken as a half bunch. Bunches 
with less than 5 hands are styled third class, the others respectively 
first class and second class. From the root of this tree several 
shoots or suckers sprout, each of which in turn becomes a tree and 
bears a bunch of bananas, or may be transplanted. 

The manner in which the banana is cultivated requires very 
little skill or labor, nature doing almost all the work. The first 
cost of planting an acre of land is from $50 to $60, and the prod- 
uct is from 600 to 800 bunches to the acre, which makes a cost 
of about 7 to 8 cents per bunch, and they are sold at the planta- 
tations to the American fruit companies for from so to 60 cents, 
American gold. They in turn sell them in this country for from 
$1 to $3 per bunch. 

It is calculated that a vessel of 1,000 tons can carry a cargo of 
20,000 bunches. The loss, during the voyage, rarely exceeds 15 
per cent. Therefore, if the balance is sold, even at the low price 
of $1 per bunch, the net profit in one trip on the cargo of bananas 
only, without calculating what could be yielded by the carrying of 
passengers and mails, would be no less than $7,000. 

The loss of 15 per cent., above referred to, could be greatly 
diminished by establishing better means of transportation. The 
bananas intended for exportation must be cut green and stowed 
in the vessel in such a way as to permit the air to circulate freely 
and prevent the rays of the sun from falling on the fruit and ripen- 
ing it before reaching its destination. Any slight bruise on the 
skin of a banana, although apparently insignificant at first, develops 
in the ripe fruit into a black spot, which tends to lessen the value 
of the fruit in the market. It is generally the case that the fruit 
finds ready purchasers at the plantations, and that those purchasers 
take it to their own vessels and transport it to the United States 
on their own account, sharing the risks with the insurance com- 
panies. 


COSTA RICA. 39 


To better illustrate this profitable business, an estimate of the 
expenses and probable yieldings of a plantation of 69 acres (40 
manzanas), taking into consideration all the difficulties to be over- 
come, such as bad roads, scarcity of labor, high prices of seed, etc., 
was made by Mr. Richard Villafranca, and submitted to the su- 
perintendent of the Costa Rica Railroad. His approval having 
been obtained, the said estimate was published in Bulletin No. 1, 
above cited, in the following terms:

amount to $60 or $65 if the planting is done first and the clear- 
ing after. 

The best results are obtained when the trees are planted 18 feet 
apart; 270 suckers are required for each manzana. 

The plantation to which this estimate refers is supposed to be 
started by a person who, having money enough to buy the land, is 
compelled to mortgage his property to raise funds to improve it. 
Therefore it is calculated that he is paying an interest of 6 per cent 
a year. 

_ The weed clearings of the second year are neither frequent nor 
expensive, as the banana plant is fully developed and the shad- 
ing of it stops to some extent the growth of the weed. 

The cost of 2% cents for cutting each bunch is greatly exagger- 
ated, as a man can easily cut down a bunch in less than half a min- 
ute; but giving the laborers, who usually work ten hours a day 
ample time to rest, smoke, and take their meals, it has been sup- 
posed that they only cut down one bunch every fifteen minutes, 
or 40 per day, for which work they get $1. Thus the cutting of 
one bunch costs 2% cents. 

The amount of $18,556.25 represents the clear profits made at the 
end of the second year. In this estimate are not included either 
the profits derived from sale of bananas between the tenth and the 
twenty-fourth months, or from the raising of other fruits, such as 
lemons, limes, pineapples, cocoanuts, oranges, marañones, cocoa, 
etc., all of which hardly necessitate any extra expense to be kept 
in good condition, and give the most flattering results. 


OTHER AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONS. 


Independently of coffee and bananas Costa Rica could be rich 
and prosperous by properly developing her other ‘agricultural 
resources. Agriculture, says Sefior Calvo, is called by nature to 
operate a transformation in the country. Whoever casts a glance 
upon the map observes the position which Costa Rica occupies in

the center of the world, and forms an idea both of the exuberant 
vegetation of her immense territory, which is still to a great ex- 
tent uncultivated, and of the variety of her natural productions, 
will understand at once that the foundation of the brilliant future 
which awaits her chiefly consists in agriculture. “Whether the 
commerce of the world,” Señor Calvo says, “continues to bestow 
its favor upon the Costa Rican coffee, or whether the Costa Rican 
coffee is doomed to be replaced by some other, the productive ca- 
pacity of the Costa Rican soil will always be so wonderful as to 
cause the Republic to rank again among the most privileged na- 
tions of the world.” Sugar cane, tobacco, cocoa, the textile plants, 
and many other agricultural productions will come to take the place 
now exclusively occupied by almost impenetrable forests and bar- 
ren lands. | 

The sugar cane grows luxuriantly in several localities of the 
Republic, and promises to be as great a source of wealth for Costa 
Rica as it has been for other countries. According to the Anuario 
Estadístico for 1890 the production of sugar during that year was 
as follows: Sugar, 639,086 kilos; dulce, 6,959,608 kilos. 

They call sugar the white article after it has been deprived of 
the molasses, and dulce the more or less brown unrefined sugar. 
The same Anuario estimates at $1,512,960 the value of the crop 
of 1890. 

Reciprocal commercial arrangements with the United States, 
which, according to all indications, Costa Rica is ready to make, by 
which sugar of all kinds and descriptions would be admitted free 
into the United States, would no doubt operate as a powerful 
stimulus and raise the sugar industry in Costa Ricato a prominent 
station. Up to the present moment there are no more than 7.538 
manzanas of land* devoted to the cultivation of the sugar cane. 

Cocoa is cultivated on both the Atlantic and the Pacific 
coasts, and in the valley of San Carlos. It is in general of 


* One manzana is equivalent to 10,000 square varas, the vara being 2,742 feet.

excellent quality ; but that of Matina, in the comarca of Limon, has 
a great reputation, and advantageously competes with the cele- 
brated Soconusco cocoa. It sells from 60 to 75 cents per pound 
at the localities where it is raised. With a view to encourage the 
cultivation of this tree the Government has granted premiums 
varying from $2,000 to $5,500 to those who, with success, will 
engage in this business. The Anuario Estadistico for 1890 gives 
the following information: number of cocoa plantations, 183; 
number of cocoa trees, 56,748; cocoa crop 3,129 quintals; value 
of crop, $156,450. | 

In 1737, when Costa Rica had only a population of 24,000 in- 
habitants, there were 273,138 cocoa trees at Matina. This culti- 
vation decreased in proportion to the increase of the attention paid 
to coffee industry. 

' The Costa Rican tobacco is generally strong and very aromatic. 
It was formerly cultivated extensively, and constituted an impor- 
tant branchof commerce. It appears from Sefior Calvo’s book, that 
in 1771, and many years thereafter, Costa Rican tobacco was ex- 
ported to Mexico. The amount exported in 1771 was 302,161 
pounds. Subsequently to that date the cultivation of tobacco de- 
clined, owing to the more remunerative character of the cultiva- 
tion of coffee, and to other causes. The tobacco industry in Costa 
Rica is monopolized by the Government, as is the case in Spain 
and in other countries and the crop produced throughout the 
country must be disposed of to the agents of the Government. 
However, any one. may engage in the manufacture of cigars and 
cigarettes, and even in the cultivation of the tobacco in certain 
localities, on condition that the crop has to be either sold to the 
Government or exported. The report of the Costa Rican secre- 
tary of the treasury for 1890, shows that this monopoly furnished 
the Government in 1888-89 a revenue of $558,139.08, and 
$597,844.94 in 1890-091. 


Recently a concession has been granted to some private

individuals for the purpose ot bringing to Guanacaste, on the 
Pacific side of the Republic, a Cuban colony of tobacco farmers, 
who will probably as other Cuban colonies have done in this very 
same line in Mexico and Paraguay, build there a large trade. 

Corn in Costa Rica, as everywhere else in America, is one of 
the principal articles of food fór the people. The crop in 1890 
amounted to 22,979,744 liters. Wheat, which formerly was cul- 
tivated in a vast scale, can scarcely be seen, except in the provinces 
of Heredia and Alajuela, where it is raised in small quantities. 
The comparatively cheap prices of the American flour and the 
increasing demands of the coffee trade have united in discourag- 
ing the cultivation of wheat. Beans are also a very important 
factor in the sustenance of the people. The crop of 1890 was 
3,294,160 liters. | 

Cotton has been raised in Costa Rica since the early days of 
the discovery. The natives used to spin it, and in colonial times 
there were mills, especially at Cartago, where very good cloth was 
made. It grows well in many localities, but the demands of the 
coffee industry, as well as foreign competition, have caused its cul- 
tivation to be continued only on a very small scale. Among the 
other textile plants which might be made the subject of flourish- 
ing industries are the junco (rush), the linaza (flax), the maguey 
(agave), the piña (pine apple), the piñuela (a variety of the pine 
apple), the pochote (cedrela pachira), the soncollo (anona muri- 
cata), and others. Ramié is raised in the country with little ex- 
pense and no difficulty, and will no doubt make in a short time 
a valuable branch of national production. 

Besides indigo and other useful plants which at present have no 
great commercial importance, the yuca, or sweet manioc, and other 
farinaceous roots should be mentioned. The yuca is very useful 
from an industrial point of view on account of the starch which is 
made out of it. The ñame (yam) and the sweet potato are usu- 
ally cultivated near the coasts, but they thrive also very well on 
the plateaus. 


44 COSTA RICA. 


The papa (potato) is cultivated principally in the province of 
Cartago, at the base of the Irazú volcano. Its production is large 
and its quality excellent. The high price paid in the market for 
potatoes renders their cultivation profitable. In 1890, 1,412,458 
liters of potatoes were gathered, out of which 1,382,695 came from 
the province of Cartago. Potato cultivation will soon assume 
greater importance because the Reventazon branch of the railroad 
is now completed, and potatoes can be made an object of com- 
merce with Colombia and other States which need to import 
them. 

Vanilla grows wild in the virgin forests of the hot lands. 

The edible fruits are not objects of special culture in the coun- 
try. Everywhere in the plantations, oranges, limes, peaches, figs, 
quinces, pomegranates, etc., are found abundantly. All the fruits 
of Europe thrive on the plateau. The indigenous tropical fruits 
are the pineapple, aguacates, anones, zapotes, mangoes, and a host 
of others of less importance. 


CATTLE RAISING. 


Cattle raising is an important industry in Costa Rica. The 
country does not produce beef in sufficient quantities to meet the 
necessities of its ever increasing population, and it has to be im- 
ported both from Nicaragua and from Colombia. The Costa . 
Rican oxen as a rule are remarkable for their size and handsome 
appearance. They possess great strength, and are admirably 
adapted for labor. According to Biolley, the usual price of these ' 
animals, from three to four years of age, imported from Nicaragua 
or Colombia, varies from $30 to $40 a head, but a good team of 
Costa Rican oxen can be sold for $170. The Government has 
made of late many efforts to improve the breeds of cattle, and one 
of the most efficient has been to reimburse the farmers what they 
may expend in bringing well-bred animals from the United States 
and Europe to their farms in Costa Rica. The Agricultural 


COSTA RICA. 45 


School, which, as will be seen elsewhere, was established and is 
supported by the Government, has done also a good deal to pro- 
mote this industry. 

The principal breeds so far introduced to improve the native 
cattle are the Durham, Jersey, and Dutch. There are also a num- 
ber of head of Swiss cattle of the Schuytz breed which have been 
imported either directly from Europe or from the United States. 
The price of an ordinary cow varies from $3o to $80. Young 
animals of foreign breeds recently brought into the country bring 
exceedingly high prices. For a bull of from one year to one year 
and a half $300 and $400 also are often paid. The dairy indus- 
try is as yet in its infancy. Excellent butter is made, nevertheless, 
in some provinces, especially in Cartago. Hides are an article of 
commerce of which the exports reach many thousands of dollars, 
As yet horns, hoofs, and bones are not utilized. 

The breeding of horses is progressing slowly. The horses of the 
country are of no special character or breed, but they are strong 
and useful for the mountain roads. An ordinary horse is worth 
from $40 to $70. Good mules cost more, but pretty fair ones 
may be found at prices varying from $60 to $80. 

Sheep are very scarce and of a kind hardly worthy to be men- 
tioned. A sheep is worth about $10. 

The Anuario Estadistico for 1890 gives the number of cattle in 
Costa Rica in each province as follows: |

PEARI. FISHING. 


A natural production worthy in all respects to be mentioned 
among the elements of wealth is the Costa Rica pearl. It abounds 
on the Pacific coast of the Republic, especially in the vast gulf of 
Nicoya, where many specimens have been obtained of such perfec- 
tion and beauty as to secure the price of $1,000 apiece. One of 
these gems was sold in London, not long ago, for £800. Pearl 
fishing is not allowed during a certain season, and in no case can 
it be undertaken except with the permission of the government, 
and on such conditions as it may deem to be ‘advisable. Atpresent 
the industry is in the hands of a Mexican company under a con- 
cession granted to it by the government for a limited time. 

Another maritime production is a shellfish, also found on the 
Pacific coast of Mexico, which secretes a viscid liquor of a purple 
color (Buceinum lapillus) and is supposed to be the substance of 
the famous T'yrian dye. 


MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES. 


No great manufacturing industry exists as yet in Costa Rica. 
The few factories which are found in the country give employment 
only to a limited number of workingmen, and their products are 
not sufficient for the country's needs. Agriculture occupies all the 
hands and absorbs all the attention of the people. The flour 
industry is represented by a single steam mill at San José belong- 
ing to a foreign company. There are in all in the country two 
_ or three starch factories and over one hundred brick yards. Clay is 

abundant, and bricks are always in demand. The high price of 
stone causes nearly all the buildings to be made of brick, and brick 
making is therefore very profitable. 

There are a number of tanning establishments producing ordi- 
nary leather. This is used for the manufacture of saddles, a/forj.s 
or saddle-bags, straps, and all kinds of harnesses. 

There are also some soap factories which supply the trade with

an article good only for laundry purposes, and some candle fac- 
tories which also furnish candles of inferior quality. 

Two foundries established at San José do great service, espe- 
cially in the repairing line. 

A cotton mill, established several years ago at Heredia, is fairly 
successful. The ordinary cotton cloth which it makes can com- 
pete with the imported. The Heredia factory gives special atten- 
tion to the manufacture of rebozos or shawls of bright color, made 
out of silk, which the women of the poorer classes use to cover 
their shoulders when they are in the street, or wear in church over 
their heads. 

Other industries have been started in the country. Chocolate, 
perfumery, ice, gaseous waters, beer, etc., are manufactured to some 
extent, with machinery brought from Europe or the United States. 
To encourage these industries the Government has exempted the 
machinery imported from customs duties. | 

There is a Remington cartridge factory conducted by the Gov- 
ernment, and it supplies the army with this necessary article. The 
imported cartridges are soon affected by the moisture. 

The various shops of the railroad company are well equipped 
and do credit to the country. 

Costa Rica offers the most encouraging inducements for the in- 
troduction of new manufactures, or the improvement of those al- 
ready established in the country. Her numerous rivers can furnish 
all the power required. And as her population grows rapidly, and 
with it the demands of manufactured goods which the neighbor- 
ing republics can not, as a rule, supply, men with trades can be 
sure to make there a good living. A good carpenter easily earns 
$3 per day. A cabinet maker or an upholsterer would easily earn 
twice as much; for, although a great deal of furniture is im- 
ported, that which is made in the country with imperishable woods 
has always the preference. Pastry cooks, pork butchers, tailors, 
shoemakers, and bakers who went ten years ago to the country 


48 COSTA RICA. 


without any capital are well off to-day. Good salaries and con- 
stant work can be assured to good watchmakers, printers and book- 
binders, stone-cutters, masons and house painters, blacksmiths, ma- 
chinists, coppersmiths, saddlers, umbrella-makers—in short, to all 
those possessing good practical knowledge and a determination to 
persevere in any industry, great or small. 

The Government has reserved for itself two monopolies, the sale 
of tobacco and the manufacture of liquors. The cigar industry is 
reduced at present to the manufacture of common cigarettes and 
not very fine cigars, but has yielded to the Grovernment, as stated 
elsewhere, over half a million of dollars annually. 

The manufacture of liquors is centered at San José in a large 
establishment. The distillery apparatus is excellent and the prod- 
ucts are usually of a fine quality. Besides the aguardiente, or pure 
brandy, made out of the sugar cane, a kind of white brandy scented 
with anise seed, and called anisado, is made also. The national 
factory produces also some other liquors which are not largely con- 
sumed. Foreign brandies and liquors can be and are imported in 
the country, but very heavy duties are levied upon them. The 
liquor monopoly gave the Government in 1890 no less than 
$1,402,160. 


Chapter VIII. 


FOREIGN COMMERCE.* 


The commerce between Costa Rica and the United States has 
been constantly increasing since the visit to the former country of 
the South American Commission in 1884. The following fig- 
ures, from official Costa Rican sources, show the value of mer- 
chandise from the United States imported into Costa Rica dur- 
ing the last six years: 


1888. .......oo..oooomoomo ooo. $856, 645 | 1888 .. ........o..o... e $1, 773, 877 
18BÓ......oooooooooooomm..o.o I, OO, 490 | 1889..........ooooooooomoo.o.o.. 1, 780, 156 
1887......... rr 1,440, 729 | I890......oooocmocoooommmmoPmmo.. 2, 255, 138 


The rapid and uninterrupted increase proves on the one hand 
the popularity which the goods of the United States enjoy in 
Costa Rica, and on the other hand shows that it would be easy 
for the United States to secure full control of that trade. Refer- 
ring to this matter, the Report of the South American Commis- 
sion of 1884-85 has the following : 


It is a source of congratulation to know that not only are American wares 
and merchandise increasingly consumed here (Costa Rica), but there is a grow- 
ing desire on the part of the people to establish more cordial relations, commer- 
cial and international with our country To this end several causes contribute : 

First. The exalted position of our country in wealth, arts, and civilization 
is a constant light, drawing the attention of those who have moulded their do- 
mestic institutions on ours. The Monroe doctrine is as well understood, and 
is as grateful to the people of Costa Rica, as it is fixed among the theories of 
our own country. Beyond doubt the increasing attention in the United States 


* The figures relating to the foreign commerce are taken from Costa Rican official 
documents and are expressed in the money of the country. According to data from 
the Bureau of Statistics at Washington, the exports of merchandise from the United 
States to Costa Rica were, in 1890, $1,098,952, in 1891, $1,098,952. 

CR 4 49 





so | COSTA RICA. 


to the economy, industry, and commerce of Latin America has already met a 
cordial response in Costa Rica. . 

Second. A most important consideration is the increase of faithfulness on the 
part of American merchants in studying the wants of the consumers, their 
habits and tastes, and also in sending just such goods as the dealers here send 
for. While serious damage to our trade has flowed from evasions of the plain- 
est principles of fair dealing on the part of some American commission men, of 
late there has been less friction from this cause, and with it has come enhanced 
confidence here in sending to our country orders for goods. 

Third. The nearness of our market, the superior quality of nearly all our man- 
ufactures, and especially their adaptability, are all in our favor. Thereis also a 
growing recognition of the value of prompt and nearly cash payment for goods 
over the credit system. Meantime a more active canvass on the part of our 
merchants, through competent agents, has been going on in California goods, 
especially the grape products. Canned fruits and flour are finding their way 
into quite general use, and successfully compete with the like importations from 
any source. 

Fourth. To these influences is to be added the effect of the railroad towards 
the interior from Port Limon. The banana trade is wholly depending upon it, 
while outgoing products by that port go to the United States in far larger per- 
fection than do those by Punta Arenas. Weconfidently believe that the exten- 
sion of the railroads of the country, so as to form continuous lines from ocean 
to ocean, will result in ampler facilities for commercial relations with the United 
States. 


The exports of Costa Rica into the United States since 1884 
have been as follows:

' COSTA RICA. 51 


In 1889 the only country which led the United States in the 
commerce with Costa Rica was Great Britain. The imports from 
that nation were $1,862,280, against $1,780,156 from the United 
States, and the exports to Great Britain were $3,647,427, against 
$3,035,288 to the United States. All other nations, as will be 
seen in the following pages, are, and have been for some time, 
represented by lesser figures. But in 1890 the United States took 
the lead even over Great Britain. The exports from the United 
, States into Costa Rica were, as stated, $2,255,138, and those of 
Great Britain $1,426,317. 

To-day 11 steamers per month enter regularly the port of Limon, 
as follows: 

One belonging to the British Royal Mail Company, direct from 
Europe. 

One belonging to the Spanish Transatlantic Company, direct 
from Europe. 

Four belonging to the Atlas Company, sailing from New York. 

Four belonging to the Costa Rica Steamship Line, sailing from 


New Orleans. 
On the Pacific side the commerce is conducted through the port 


of Puntarenas by steamers belonging to the Pacific Mail Com- 
pany sailing between San Francisco and Panama, touching each 
way every ten days. A German line of steamers from Ham- 
burg also touch at Puntarenas each way every month. 

When the South American Commission above referred to 
submitted their special report on Costa Rica (March 3, 1885), 
they noticed the singular fact that the cost of transportation of 
merchandise from San José to London, and vice versa, by way of 
Puntarenas, on the Pacific, was cheaper than from San José to 
New York, and that the cost between Port Limon and London 
and Port Limon and New York was only a little higher. 


52 COSTA RICA. | 


The report says: 


To carry a ton of freight from San José to London, via Puntarenas, costs 
$40.40, and to New York $42, and the cost of transporting a ton of freight 
from San José, via Port Limon, the Atlantic port of Costa Rica, to London is 
$37.40, and to New York $36.40. 

While such a condition of things existed it was not difficult 
to understand, independently of other reasons, how the exports to 
Great Britain were in larger quantities than to the United States. 

The well-founded remarks which close the report so often 
referred to, of the South American Commission of 1884-85 are 
appropriate here: 

Our countrymen can secure the trade with this Republic by the aid of a 
judicious reciprocity treaty, and the practice of the same sagacity and fair deal- 
ing which characterizes their English and German competitors. The people of 
Costa Rica will welcome every advance our people will make in the direction 
of closer commercial and international relations with the greatest sincerity and 
- cordiality. 


DIVISION OF COMMERCE BY NATIONS. 


The countries, other than the United States, with which Costa 
Rica holds commercial relations of any importance are Great 
Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Colombia, 
Ecuador, Mexico, and the other Republics of Central America. 
The following list shows the value of the imports from those 
countries during the year 1890, according to the Anuario Esta- 
distico :

COSTA RICA. 53 


By comparing this total with the total value of the merchandise 
imported from the United States into Costa Rica during the same 
year, which was $2,2 55,138, the following conclusions are reached : 
First, that the United States exports more merchandise, or mer- 
chandise of more value, to Costa Rica than any other single nation 
in the world. Second, that the value of the merchandise imported 
from the United States into Costa Rica in 1890 represents more 
than 34. per cent of the total imports; and third, that, as stated by 
the South American Commission of 1884—85, a judicious reci- 
procity treaty could secure for the United States almost the entire 
trade of Costa Rica. 

The Anuario Estadístico for 18go contains in detail the num- 
ber of packages, the weight in kilograms, and the value of the 
goods from each country imported into Costa Rica; and a study 
of at least its principal statements might prove of some importance. 

Barbed and other wire for fences is greatly in demand in Costa 
Rica, and was imported, that year, to the amount of $109,872; 
but Great Britain and Germany contributed the most of this total, 
the former furnishing $41,295 and the latter $32,627, or $73,922 
together, which is about 75 per cent on the whole. | 

Beer was imported to the amount of $109,031. Great Britain 
contributed $6,529, Germany $55,328, and France $8,123, or 
$69,980 between the three. This represents 60 per cent on the 
total imported. 

Shoes were bought by Costa Rica to the amount of $62,814. 
But Great Britain furnished $12,981, Germany $14,628, and 
France $7,893. Their total, $35,502, represents more than one- 
half of the whole. 

Cassimeres were imported to the value of $278,252. Germany 
contributed $105,802, and France $142,628. This makes 
$248,430, and leaves the United States the poor share of $29,822. 

Drugs and medicines were imported to the amount of $201,107. 


54 COSTA RICA. 


The shares of Great Britain, $37,421, Germany $52,327, and 
France $32,647, make a total $122,395, which is about 70 per 
cent of the whole. 

Out of $316,411 worth of railroad material bought by Costa 
Rica, Great Britain sold $125,428. 

The ordinary soap which Costa Rica bought in 1890 amounted 
to $22,432, Great Britain furnished $12,890, and Germany, $7,223. 

Ordinary crockery was imported to the amount of $19,343. 
The share of Great Britain was $8,792, the share of Germany, 
$8,120, and the share of France, $609. This left the United States 
only $1,813. 

The value of the candles imported in 1890 was $45,201. Great 
Britain contributed $34,892, and Germany, $8,008. This leaves 
the United States but $2,301. 

House furniture was bought by Costa Rica to the amount of 
$45,085. Great Britain’s share was $5,897, Germany’s $16,823, 
and France’s $2,327. This makes $25,047, more than one-half 
of the whole. 

The printed cotton goods called zarazas were imported into Costa 
Rica to the amount of $407,460, Great Britain sent $165,893, 
Germany, $167,827, and France, $29,849. This makes $363, 569, 
and reduces the share of the United States to only $43,891. 

Out of $296,682 worth of wines which Costa Rica imported 
in 1890, $48,325 were sent by Great Britain, $27,895 by Ger- 
many, $69,827 by France, and $114,450 by Spain, This makes 
$260,497, and leaves a balance of $36,185 forthe United States. 
As the United States is a wine-producing country, which Great 
Britain is not, and as the United States is nearer Costa Rica than 
Great Britain, it seems unnatural that Great Britain should fur- 
nish wine to an amount ($48,325) larger than the United States. 

The Anuario Estadistico for 1890 has failed to give the same 
detailed information in regard to the exports which it furnishes in 


COSTA RICA. 55 


regard to the imports. It says that the exports were $10,063,765, 
($3,098,394. more than in the previous year), and that the princi- 
pal articles were represented as follows; 


Coffel....oooooooomomomonoss. $9, 196, 202 | Gold bullion ...............-. $23, 500

But it does not state what portion of these goods comes to the 
United States. 

During the previous year, 1889, the exports from Costa Rica 
to the different countries were as follows:

Shippers of merchandise destined for the Republic of Costa 
Rica must remember that the invoices for each shipment of goods 
should contain the names of the vessel, port of destination, and 
consignees; the date of shipment, the signature of the shipper, the 
marks of each package, the number (in figures and in writing) o. 
bales, cases, barrels, bundles, or packages in which the merchan- 
dise is contained, the name and kind of merchandise shipped, and 
the gross weight in kilograms of each package, except when con- 
taining machinery, iron, lumber, etc., in which case the total gross 
weight shall only be required. When a package contains more 
than one kind of merchandise, the articles of each kind must be 
put up in separate bundles and the gross weight of each bundle 
must be stated separately. Invoices must be made out in triplicate ; 


56 COSTA RICA. 


two copies shall be retained by the consul, and the third one shall 
be returned to the shipper, with a receipt for the other two; the 
copy returned and the consul's receipt are to be sent by the shipper 
to the consignee at the port of destination; the invoices should be 
made out in the Spanish language. No invoices will be admitted 
with erasures, alterations, or interlineations. 

All invoices for Costa Rica presented for certification must ex- 
press also the amount of charges paid, or to be paid, for carrying the 
merchandise to the port of destination, such as freight, insurance, 
commission, etc. These charges can be set forth either in separ- 
ate items or in a lump sum, under the head of “charges to the port 
of destination.” 

The captain of every vessel or steamer touching at any of the 
ports of Costa Rica is bound to prepare and file a general manifest 
of the cargo destined for that port, said manifest to be written in 
the Spanish language and to contain the name, class, and nation- 
ality of the vessel, the registered tonnage of the same (both in 
figures and in writing), the names of the captain, the ports of de- 
parture and destination, and the consignee, the marks and number 
(in writing and in figures) of bales, cases, barrels, bundles, or other 
packages on board, the names of the shippers and of the consignee 
of the merchandise on board, the date of the manifest, and the 
signature of the captain. 

The Government of Costa Rica has decreed that the same fines 
and penalties which are imposed on the captains and owners of ves- 
sels, when not presenting their papers and manifests in accordance 
with the requirements of the law of 14th of July, 1884, shall be also 
imposed on the owners or consignees of the merchandise imported 
into the Republic, when the consular invoices do not express the 
gross weight of each package separately, or whenever any other re- 
quirements of said law, as to marks, numbers, specified contents, 
and value of the packages are not complied with.

CENTRAL PARK, SAN JOSÉ. 


COSTA RICA. $7 


As the fines and penalties alluded to vary from $50 to $500 for 
each case of violation of the law, special care should be taken to 
see that the consular invoices of all shipments for Costa Rica are 
drawn up in strict compliance with the requirements of the law. 

The tariff on imported merchandise which is now in force in 
Costa Rica was promulgated on September 7, 1885. For the 
convenience of commerce it is given in the Appendix. 

But, as shown by inclosure C of the Special Report on Costa 
Rica submitted by the South American Commission of 188485, 
the Costa Rican Government made at that time the following dec- 
laration in regard to reciprocity with the United States: 


The undersigned minister of foreign relations of the Republic of Costa 
Rica, by virtue of a conference held to-day, has the honor to make the following 
declarations to the Commission of the United States of America: 

It is evident that between the United States of America and the Republic of 
Costa Rica there is a connection of political and material interests, and that 
trom day today the mutual commerce between said countries increases. Hence 
proceeds the advisability of strengthening their relations by means of reciprocity 
treaties, and the Government of Costa Rica is desirous that they be entered 
into. 

The same Government thinks that in the treaty to be entered into it should 
be expressly stated that it isa treaty of mutual compensation, so as to avoid the 
effect of the clause of “* most favored nation,” which may be found in existing 
treaties with other nations. 

It also thinks that the two clauses following must be considered essential : 

First. There shall be admitted, or remain free of duty, in the United States 
sugar, coffee, cocoa, peanuts, ginger, bananas, and other fruits, starch, potatoes 
and other similar roots used for food, pita straw, and other fibers, rubber and 
other gums, hides, dyewoods, timber for building purposes, whether sawed 
or not; provided that the said articles are the growth and production of 
the Costa Rican soil, sufficient evidence thereof being given at each importa- 
ion. 

Second. In compensation of the above there shall be admitted, or remain free 
of duty in Costa Rica, all kinds of cattle, salts, preserved meats, coal, petroleum, 
raw cotton, frame houses, bricks, clay tiles, lime for building purposes, agricul- 
tural implements, mining machinery; provided also that the said articles are 


58 | COSTA RICA. 


produced or manufactured in the United States, sufficient evidence thereof 
being given at each importation. 

The Government of Costa Rica is also willing to send one or more repre- 
sentatives to a congress of all the States of the continent, whose object it shall 
‘be to establish rules of private international law of America, and provide for 
whatever may be conducive to the peace and the common welfare of the 
nations of the New World.

INTEROCEANIC CANALS. 


As stated by the learned author of one of the most important 
books which have ever been published on the subject of inter- 
oceanic communication* “the idea of opening a water way from 
the Atlantic, the ocean of Europe, to the Great Southern Sea, the 
ocean of Asia, of “Ormus and of Ind,” may be said to be coeval 
with the earliest enterprises of colonization of the New World. 
It was in quest of such a water way that Columbus sailed from 
Palos in 1492; and Cortes planned the construction of it during 
his visit to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec forty years afterwards. 
The “secret of the strait” was the goad which drove so many sea- 
men from all the lands of Europe westward through all the earlier 
years of the sixteenth century, till Magellan found an answer to it 
far to the stormy south.” 

The fall of Constantinople into the hands of the Turks, which 
had taken place thirty-nine years before the discovery of Amer- 
ica, and the always increasing power which the Mahometans had 
since then succeeded in securing, not only in eastern Europe, 
but also in all the countries of Asia and Africa bordering 
upon the Mediterranean, had endangered considerably the com- 
merce of the world, which was then concentrated chiefly into the 
hands of Venice, Genoa, and some other states. A safe and 
short passage to the rich regions of the East was the optimum

desiderandum of commerce, and the discovery by Vasco de Gama 
of the Cape of Good Hope, and therefore of a new route to Ásia, 
interested the world no less than the discovery of America, which 
had been made five years before. 

The last voyage of Columbus, in 1502, was undertaken 
expressly to find the western entrance to the Asian seas, and the 
Spanish navigators who succeeded him kept up an active search 
for a shorter route to the Indies. Says Prescott: 

The discovery of a strait into the Indian Ocean was the burden of every 
order from the government, and the discovery of a new route to Índia is the 
true key to the maritime movements of the hfteenth and first half of the six- 
teenth centuries. 

The discovery of the Pacific Ocean in 1513 by Vasco Nuñez 
de Balboa, and the geographical researches which were subse- 
quently made, satisfied the Spaniards that nature had not provided 
the natural water way so anxiously looked for. But it must be 
said to their honor that simultaneously with their becoming con- 
vinced of this fact the idea grew upon their minds that the com- 
munication could be made artificially. In 1528 Antonio Galvan 
petitioned Charles V and suggested that a canal should be built 
from sea to sea across the Isthmus of Panama. And in 1591 
the governor of Costa Rica, Capt. Antonio Pereira, received 
instructions to organize an expedition under his command, and 
that of Capt. Francisco Pavon, to explore a way of communication 
by water between both oceans through the Desaguadero (San 
Juan River), the lake, and other rivers emptying into the Gulf 
of Nicoya. 

This expedition, in which Costa Rica appears so prominently, 
and which was due to the far-sighted statesmanship of the licen- 
tiate Velasquez Ramiro, whom Philip II had sent as royal com- 
missioner to the provinces of Central America, and who always 
showed a great desire to have this great undertaking carried to 
success, was the first practical step ever taken in this direction. 
Thirty-nine years afterwards, Diego de Mercado submitted to the

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, SAN JOSÉ. 


COSTA RICA. 61 


King (Philip TIT) his famous report of January 23,-1620, and 
suggested that interoceanic communication should be established 
through the Desaguadero, the lake, and a cut across the Costa 
Rican territory, through what he called La Quebrada, or Barranca 
Honda, to the bay of Salinas, to which he gave the name of 
Puerto del Papagayo. 

For reasons which it is unnecessary to recite, this aspiration of 
Spain, and indeed of all the civilized nations of the world, could 
not find then its realization. And when the Spanish power passed 
away and the Central American confederation was organized, and 
Bolivar’s voice was heard announcing that the interoceanic canal 
“would bring to the new Republic the wealth and the enterprise 
of all parts of the globe,” the desire to accomplish that purpose 
naturally received renewed attention. 

Brief mention has been made of the steps which the short-lived 
Republic of Central America hastened to take in this direction; 
how a concession was granted to a Dutch company in 1830 to 
build the canal upon conditions which rendered that concession one 
of the noblest public papers ever issued by any nation of the 
world, and how the United States was invited by that Government 
to join it in the glory of the enterprise and in the enjoyment of 
the immense advantages to be derived from it. Allusion has been 
made also to the survey for a canal between the Sapoa River and 
the Bay of Salinas, which was made by order of the Republic of 
Costa Rica, in 1851, by the famous Danish scientist Andreas 
Oersted. But none of these steps came nearer practical success 
than when the two Republics of Costa Rica and Nicaragua, acting 
together, granted on May 1, 1858, to the distinguished French 
writer, Mr. Felix Belly, the canal concession which carried his 
name, or when the celebrated Ayon-Chevalier contract was entered 
into for the same purpose on the part of Nicaragua on the 16th of 
October, 1868, and on the part of Costa Rica on the 18th of June, 
1869. The hopes of the universe were nevertheless disappointed 
in both cases, as they were also when the Zavala-Frelinghuysen 


62 COSTA RICA. 


treaty of 1885 was negotiated in Washington and failed of ap- 
proval. 

Now, all the appearances tend to indicate that the moment is at 
hand in which Bolivar’s dreams can be realized. Under the con- 
cession which Nicaragua granted on April, 1887, to Don Aniceto 
G. Menocal, the representative of the Nicaragua Canal Associa- 
tion of New York (the Cárdenas-Menocal contract), and the con- 
cession which Costa Rica granted on the 31st of July, 1888, to the 
same gentleman, as the representative of the same association (the 
Zeledon-Menocal contract), the Nicaragua interoceanic canal has 
been begun, and up to this time more than $4,000,000 are said to 
have been expended in the works. San Juán del Norte, which 
is to be the entrance on the Atlantic, has been already improved 
to a considerable extent, and the work both there and on the river 
is being pushed with energy. According to the Menocal plans, 
which have been accepted, the canal, consisting of three parts or 
divisions, is to end on the Atlantic side at San Juan del Norte, and 
on the Pacific side at the port of Brito. The lake of Nicaragua 
will be the central part, and the San Juan River, properly improved, 
will form, if not the whole, at least a great portion of the eastern 
part or division. The western section will consist of a cut through 
the strip of land, comparatively narrow, which stands between the 
western shore of the lake and the Pacific coast. 

The Costa Rican Government has granted the Nicaragua Canal 
Company, among many other concessions of the most liberal char- 
acter, full permission to occupy freely, for the purposes of the 
canal, all the lands and places within the territory of Costa Rica 
which may be necessary for the construction, and also the right to 
take, free of charge, from the lands belonging to the State all the 
material needed. 

If this canal proves to be the success which all its friends hope 
for. Costa Rica will find herself in the center of a commercial 
movement parallel to which no other has perhaps existed in the 
world. Noone can predict the development of which Costa Rica 


COSTA RICA. 63 


is capable when her extensive river front becomes one bank of the 
canal and when her immense and rich valleys of the San Carlos 
and the Sarapiqui abandon, as it may be said, their mediterranean 
position and assume a position of direct contact with the rest of 
the world. | 

The following tables, showing the distances in miles between 
the most important commercial ports of the world, and the dis- 
tances saved by this canal, will assist the mind in forming an idea 
of the great future which is in store for Costa Rica when this work 
is done:

64 COSTA RICA. 


The idea that a ship canal could be cut with more facility and 
at less cost through some portion of the Colombian State of Pan- 
ama than through any part of Mexico or Central America has 
been entertained by many, both in ancient and recent times. Tra- 
dition attributes to a monk, who lived at the close of the last cen- 
tury, the credit of practically solving this problem by connecting 
the headwaters of the river Atrato, which empties into the Carib- 
bean Sea, with the waters of a river named San Juan, which empties 
into the Pacific. In the article entitled Colombia, in Apple- 
ton’s American Cyclopedia, it ts said, in reference to this subject, 
that the connection was made near the city of “Quibdo, latitude 
5° 50’ N., by which communication by boats is still maintained 
between the Atlantic and Pacific.” The world knows well that a 
French company, formed by Viscount Lesseps, has undertaken to 
to dig a ship canal, 46 miles long, from Aspinwall to Panama, 
more or less parallel to the Panama Railroad. 

Without entering into any discussion regarding the success or 
failure of the Lesseps plan, or the engineering features which may 
give preference to the Panama routes over all the others north of 
Costa Rica, the fact remains undisturbed that if ever such a canal 
is made Costa Rica will derive from it a great benefit. She will 
be its nearest neighbor, and her territory will be, if not directly 
bordering upon it, at least at a short distance, and within easy 
access to its waters. The southern regions of Costa Rica, which 
now are almost uninhabited, will then be within easy reach of the 
immense current of wealth and trade which that canal will create. 


Chapter X. 


THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS; MONEY AND TAXATION. 


Costa Rica is a Republic, and the powers of its Government. 
are limited and defined by a written constitution, which was framed 
and adopted in 1871. Universal suffrage is the law of the country; 
but no election of any kind can be made directly, but through a 
body of electors freely chosen by the people. 

Every citizen of Costa Rica has the right, if he chooses to ex- 
ercise it, of casting his vote within the appointed time, before the 
boards, or juntas, constituted for that purpose, in favor of the per- 
sons whom he wishes to form part of the electoral college. Those 
who receive a majority of votes are declared “electors,” and meet 
at the appointed time and place, and elect, also by a majority of 
votes, either the President of the Republic, or the members of 
Congress, or the municipal officers of their respective localities, as 
the case may be. No one can be made elector unless he is 21 
years old, can read and write, has his domicile in the place where 
the vote in his favor was taken, and he must own property to the 
value of $500, or have an income of $200 a year. The position 
of elector can not be declined, and it is the duty of all electors 
to cast their vote at the election. Neither the President of the 
Republic nor the members of the cabinet, the justices of the 
high court, the governors of the provinces, or the bishop, can 
be electors as long as they are in office. 

The Government of Costa Rica is administered by the three 
supreme powers called there, as everywhere else, executive, legis- 
lative, and judicial.

The executive power is vested in a President, whose term of 
service is four years, and who can not be reélected for the following 
immediate term. The qualifications for this office are the same 
as required for the office of elector, except that the President must 
be over 38 years of age and a Costa Rican, or at least a Central 
American by birth, and not belong to the ecclesiastical profession. 

The President is assisted by four secretaries of state, whose re- 
spective departments are called as follows: (1) Department of 
foreign relations, favors, justice, worship, public instruction, and 
beneficence. (Relaciones exteriores, gracia, justicia, culto, instrucción 
pública “y beneficencia.) (2) Department of the interior, police, 
and the promotion of the public welfare. (Gobernación, policía 
y fomento.) (3) Department of the treasury and commerce. 
(Hacienda y comercio.) (4) Department of war and of the navy. 
(Guerra y Marina.) 

The legislative power is vested in a Congress, consisting of only 
one house, and called “the Constitutional Congress.” (Congreso 
Constitucional.) 

The members of this body are called deputies (diputados), and 
are elected for four years; but one-half of the Congress is renewed 
by election every two years. Under the present law there is one 
deputy for every 8,000 inhabitants in each province; but if the 
population of the province is such as to show an excess of 4,000 
or more, over and above the rate mentioned, one more deputy 
may be elected. There are now seven deputies for the province 
of San José, six for the province of Alajuela, five for the province 
of Cartago, four for the province of Heredia, and two for the prov- 
ince of Guanacaste. Each Comarca (Limon and Puntarenas) is 
represented by one deputy. Total number of deputies, 26. The 
qualifications for the position of deputy are, to be a native of 
Costa Rica or of Central America, or a naturalized citizen of Costa 
Rica who has resided within her territory for the period of four 
years subsequent to his naturalization; to know how to read and 


COSTA RICA. 67 


write, and to own property to the value of $500, or have an annual 
income of $200. The Congress meets every year, but during the 
recess it is represented by a committee of its own choice, which is 
called Comisión permanente, and has for its duty to attend to every- 
thing of urgent character. _ | 

The judicial power is vested in a supreme court of justice 
(corte suprema de justicia) and in the other courts throughout the 
country, which are subordinate to it. The members of the supreme 
court are not elected by the people, but appointed by Congress. 

In Costa Rica there is no such position as that of vice-presi- 
dent of the Republic. The constitution provides that in case of 
death, or absence, or inability of the President, he shall be suc- 
ceeded by one of three persons designated by Congress to that ef- 
fect, at its first session in each presidential term. For this reason 
they are called designados. If the “designado” exercises the presi- 
dential functions at the call of the President himself; the choice 
will be at his will; but if the “designado” becomes President 
ad interim, on account of the death or inability of the President, 
the order in which the names were placed in their appointment by 
Congress must be followed. 

At the head of each province and comarca there is a governor 
appointed by the President, and in each canton there is a local 
executive authority, subordinate to the governor, also appointed 
by the President, who is called the “jefe politico.” 

The whole Republic is divided into 75 municipalities (munici- 
pios), each one provided with a municipal council, consisting gen- 
erally of five members, elected by the people, indirectly, as has 
been stated. It is unnecessary to explain what the functions of 
these bodies are. “They are more or less the same as the city coun- 
cils and the boards of county commissioners of the United States. 


THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. 


Justice is administered in Costa Rica by a well organized system 
of courts and tribunals, and under written laws as wise and well 


68 COSTA RICA. 


suited to the necessities of civilization as in any of the nations of 
the world. Capital punishment can not be inflicted. Private 
property can not be confiscated. No person can be tried by com- 
missioners or extraordinary courts. Individual liberty is guar- 
anteed by the writ of habeas corpus. Trial by jury is established 
for criminal cases; and no discrimination or distinction of any kind 
between citizens can be made before the courts. 

There are a civil code, a code of civil procedure, and a judi- 
ciary law, which went into force on the ist of January, 1888. 
They all do credit to the Republic, and stand as high as the 
highest among the statute books of the Christian world. 

In each city or town of the Republic there are judicial function- 
aries, called alcaldes, who are appointed by the supreme court. 
According to the necessities of the locality these alcaldes may be 
one, two, or three, as the supreme court shall decide. They 
have jurisdiction in the first instance of all civil cases in which the 
amount involved does not exceed $250. They have also the 
power to settle the estates of deceased persons, should no con- 
tention involving a larger amount than $250 arise between the 
interested parties. They have also criminal jurisdiction, under 
the supervision and authority of the criminal court, but only so 
far as the preliminary steps of the prosecution are concerned. It 
the alcalde happens to be a man who does not belong to the legal 
profession, persons having business before him are entitled to ask 
him to appoint a lawyer to be his adviser (asesor) in the case. In 
each province, and in each comarca, there is a court of “first 
instance for civil and criminal matters. These courts consist 
each of only one judge, appointed by the supreme court, and sit at 
the capital of the province or comarca, as the case may be. 

In San José there are two civil courts, and besides them a 
criminal court. Alajuela, Cartago, Heredia, Guanacaste, and 
Puntarenas have each one court of first instance, both for civil and 
criminal cases. In Limon there is no court, and the judicial au- 
thority is vested only in the alcalde.

PIER AT PUNTARENAS. 


COSTA RICA. 69 


The chief justice of the supreme court has just recommended 
(1890) that at Alajuela, Cartago, and Heredia, the civil and 
criminal jurisdiction be separated and exercised by different 
courts. | 

At San José there is also a court analogous to the United 
States Court of Claims, to try cases in which the Government has 
to appear as a party. The court of appeals, or, as it is called 
there, the Supreme Court of the Republic, consists of fifteen justices, 
appointed for four years by Congress. This court acts in three 
different capacities: (1) As a court of appeals; (2) as a supreme 
court, to decide cases taken before it under a writ of error (corte 
de casación): (3) as what is called corte plena, or full bench, or 
better still, the court in general term. 

When acting as a court of appeals, only three justices are 
necessary to form what is called a sala, or division of the courts. 
There are only two salas, called, respectively, first and second, and 
each one has as full power as the whole tribunal, as far as the 
appeal is concerned. The division of first and second is made 
only to expedite business, and does not imply in any way any 
difference of rank or function. The president of the sala is 
chosen from among themselves by the three justices who form the 
court. When exercising supreme jurisdiction under a writ of 
error, the court consists of five justices, who also elect their presi- 
dent from among themselves. When acting in full (corte plena) it 
is presided over by the president of the court of casacion. 


TAXATION, PUBLIC DEBT, CREDIT, AND MONETARY SYSTEM. 


Taxation in Costa Rica, except .for local and municipal pur- 
poses, is generally indirect. The principal sources of revenue are 
the custom-houses, and upon them and the monopolies of tobacco 
and liquors the Government depends to meet its obligations. Ac- 


70 COSTA RICA. 


cording to the last report of the secretary of the treasury (1890), 
of a total amount of $4,928,872.46 received on all accounts in the 
treasury, there were: 


Custom-houses receiptS.......oooocoooooommmomomoom.. $1, 683, 312. 54 
Liquor monopoly....... ccc ce cece eee ee cacao o I, 402, 160, 33 
Tobacco mionopoly......... ccc cece cece cece eens 599, 698. 59 

Total.........ooooorooooocmoomccnoronm m?s... 3, 685, 171. 46 


The expenses of the Government in 1890. were $5,924,914.85. 

Municipal taxation is moderate. The owners of real estate 
alone are obliged to pay taxes for street lighting, the maintenance 
of the police, the supply of water, etc. 

The debt of Costa Rica in 1890 was as follows: Foreign debt, 
£ 2,000,116 15.7d., or about $10,000,000; interior or domestic debt, 
$2,712,397-82. The foreign debt, contracted in England for the 
purpose of building the railroads and making other internal im- 
provements, is represented by Ó per cent bonds, which are quoted 
in London, at the lowest figures, at between go and 92 per cent. 
The interest, 5 per cent to the bondholders and 1 per cent addi- 
tional to form a sinking fund, has been thus far paid promptly and 
scrupulously, and the credit of the nation is therefore as high in 
the London market as can be desired. The interior debt consists 
of miscellaneous items, for public works, or services, each one of 
which is promptly paid on maturity. 

The money in general use in Costa. Rica is the paper dollar. 
Its value is nominally 100 cents, 5 francs, or 4 English shillings, 
but in reality it is worth only about 70 cents, 3.50 francs, 2 shil- 
lings 10 pence, gold being at a premium of from 30 to ço per 
cent. There exists a certain amount of old Government bills, but 
they diminish every year, and those in circulation to-day are nearly 
all issued by the Bank of La Union. The paper money is ac- 
cepted throughout the Republic without question, and the silver 
money of the country has no premium over it. The bills of high- 
est denomination are those of $100; the smallest is of $1. The 


COSTA RICA. 71 


fractional currency consists of silver pieces coined in the country, 
of the value of 5, 10, 25, and so cents. Their fineness is 750 
thousandths. The Government has issued a decree providing 
that the fineness for the one dollar pieces should be goo thous- . 
andths, and for the fractional coins 835 thousandths. No gold 
coined before 1876 can be found now in the country, except with 
great difficulty. Nearly all has gone out of the country. The 
decimal system of money was adopted in 1863. The metric 
system of weights and measures was adopted in 1884, and has 
been in practice since July 1, 1886. 


BUSINESS REGULATIONS AND METHODS. 


Costa Rica was the first nation in Central America to establish 
a bank. That was the bank founded in 1857 by Don Crisanto 
Medina. At present there are the following: 

The Anglo-Costa Rican Bank, established in 1863; the Bank 
of Costa Rica, established in 1867; and the Bank of “ La Union,” 
established in 1877. They all are at San Jose. The usual rate 
of interest is Q per cent. 

The Ley hipotecaria of Costa Rica, which is considered per- 
fect in its class, allows the mobilization, as may be said of the real 
estate, to all imaginable extent. The owner of a piece of land, 
duly registered in the office for such purposes established, can 
have the value of his property divided there into shares, and each 
share represented by a cédula, or bond,.and things are fixed in 
such way as to allow at any time, and with perfect safety for the 
bank or the money lender, funds to be raised on these “cédulas,” 
and the latter to be used as collateral securities of the best char- 
acter. 

Joint stock companies, engaged in mining, agricultural, and 
other enterprises, abound in the country. 

No restrictions are placed in Costa Rica upon labor, or the ex- 
ercise of trades and commerce, or industry in whatever form. 


72 COSTA RICA. 


Immigration is encouraged, and business enterprise is given every- 
where as fair and ample chances as can be desired. 


RELIGION AND PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. 


The Roman Catholic apostolic religion is the religion of the 
State, but the exercise of all others is entirely free and tolerated 
under the constitution and the laws. There are undenominational 
Protestant churchs at San José and Port Limon. According to the 
report of the secretary of the treasury of the Costa Rican Republic 
for 1890, the sum of $19,440.04. was contributed that year, out of 
the public treasury, for the support of the church in the whole 
country. . | 

Public instruction in Costa Rica is in the hands of the Na- 
tional Government, under the direct supervision of the Secretary 
of that Department in some respects, and of the municipal boards 
or councils in all others. Primary instruction is compulsory and 
paid for by the nation. But every inhabitant of the Republic, 
whether Costa Rican or foreigner, is free under the constitution 
either to receive instruction or to give it as a teacher in private 
establishments. 

There were in 18yo the following primary schools supported 
by the Government: In the province of San José, 27 for boys 
and 27 for girls; total, 54. In the province of Alajuela, 42 for 
boys and 29 for girls; total, 71. In the province of Cartago, 19 
for boys and 20 for girls; total, 39. In the province of Heredia, 
17 for boys and 13 for girls; total, 30. In the province of Gua- 
nacaste, 19 for boys and 16 for girls; total, 35. In the comarca 
of Puntarenas, 3 for boys and 2 for girls; total, 5. Grand total, 198. 

The number who attended these schools in 1890 was as follows: 
Boys, 5,182; girls, 4,307 ; total, 9,489. 

The cost of these schools to the national government in 1890 
was as follows: San José, $43,189.19; Alajuela, $26,938.66 ; Car- 
tago, $23,665.62; Heredia, $27,798.17; Guanacaste, $9,656.94 ; 
Punta Arenas, $6,429.19; total, $137,677.77.

COSTA RICA. 73 


The following list shows the number and cost in 1890 of the 
other establishments of public instruction which the Costa Rican 
Government supports: The Costa Rica Lyceum or University, 
$44,384.68; Young Ladies High School (San José), $13,891.68 ; 
the Alajuela High School, $20,821.47; the Cartago College, 
$1,540.84; the School of Agriculture, $6,391.17; total $87,029.84. 

In addition to the above the Costa Rican treasury paid in 1890: 
Subsidy to the private college named La Esperanza, $200; sub- 
sidy to the private college named American Institute, $450; tuition 
and expenses of Costa Rican boys educated abroad, $7,634.66; 
and many other sums for the construction of schoolhouses and 
repairs of those already built, and for the support of the Physical 
and Geographical Institute, and the Meteorological Institute. 

The whole amount expended by the treasury in 1890 in the item 
of public instruction was $447,220.23. The comparison of this 
expense with the total of the Government expenses ($4.99 5,343.32) 
shows the decided interest of the Costa Rican Government and peo- 
ple in favor of public instruction. The amount appropriated for 


1891, for the same purpose, is $546,035. 


TREATIES WITH FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND. DIPLOMATIC REPRESEN- 
TATION. , 


Costa Rica has a treaty of friendship, commerce, and navigation 
with the United States, concluded in the city of Washington on 
the 10th of July, 1851, and proclaimed on May 26, 1852, 

She has also entered into conventions of friendship, commerce, 
and navigation with Germany, the Hanseatic cities, Belgium, 
France, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Peru, and Ecuador. 

A treaty of friendship, peace, commerce, and arbitration was 
concluded between Costa Rica and Guatemala, Salvador, Hon- 
duras, and Nicaragua on February 16, 1887, and it was ratified 
and proclaimed by Costa Rica on the 27th of May following. 

In addition to the above, Costa Rica has a treaty of peace and 


74. COSTA RICA. 


friendship with Spain; a treaty of limits with Nicaragua; a treaty 
with Colombia to submit to arbitration the question of limits be- 
tween both Republics; extradition treaties with Italy, Peru, 
Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Salvador; a naturalization 
treaty with Italy; a consular convention with Guatemala, Hon- 
duras, Nicaragua, and Salvador; a treaty for the establishment of

Chapter XI. 


TRANSPORTATION AND POSTAL FACILITIES. 


The railway system of Costa Rica consists of the following: 
The Atlantic Railroad, from the port of Limon, on the Atlantic, 
to Alajuela, 147% miles. This road has a branch which starts from 
a point about 40 miles distant from Puerto Limon and goes south- 
ward and then eastward until reaching Carrillo, a place at the foot 
of the Irazú mountains, 70 miles. 

The Pacific Railroad, from Puntarenas, on the Pacific, to the 
city of Esparza, at the foot of the Aguacate Mountains, a dis- 
tance of 14 miles. This line is now being continued to Alajuela, 
a distance of 30 miles. 

Alajuela is already connected with Heredia, and Heredia with 
Cartago, by means of another railroad, 27 miles in length, and 
this line passes through San José, which stands between the two 
cities last named. So that, when the line from Esparza to Ala- 
juela is completed, there will be a continuous railway from the 
port of Limon, on the Atlantic, to the port of Punta Arenas, on 
the Pacific. 

All the lines will be the property of the Government when the 
time of the concessions—that is, ninety-nine years—has elapsed. 
In the mean time they are in the hands of the Costa Rica Rail- 
way Company, an English corporation domiciled in London. The 
Government owns one-third of the stock of the Atlantic Railroad 
Company.

Ox SHOEING. 


COSTA RICA, 77 


Under a concession made August 3, 1888, to Mr. Minor C. 
Keith, a citizen of the United States, another railroad is to be 
built between the point in which the San José and Carrillo Rail- 
road crosses the river named Jimenez and the Rio Frio, which 
empties into the San Juan River. This line will establish prompt 
communication between Puerto Limon and the upper part of the 
San Juan, will permit the improvement of an enormous amount of 
very fertile land which now is almost unproductive, and will be in 

other respects of great advantage both for Costa Rica and Nicara- 
“gua, her neighbor. 

Independently of the railroads there are in Costa Rica very 
good means of communication, consisting of excellent roads, which 
cross the country in every direction. 

Costa Rica is a member of the Universal Postal Union. On 
the 4th of February, 1890, there was negotiated a parcels post 
treaty between the United States and Costa Rica, the full text of 
which will be found in Appendix B, p. 127. . 

The postal service between her and the United States is as 
follows : 

On the Pacific side, from San Francisco to Puntarenas, by the 
steamers of the Pacific Mail Company, the 3d, 13th, and 23d of 
each month. 

On the Atlantic side, from New York to Puerto Limon, either 
directly by the steamers of the Atlas Steamship Company every 
two weeks, or by rail to New Orleans and thence by sea to Puerto 
Limon once a week. 

Also from New York to-Puerto Limon, via à Aspinwall, by the 
steamers of the Pacific Mail the ist, 10th, aud 20th of each 
month. If connection can be made at Aspinwall with either a 
steamer of the Royal Mail or some other going to Puerto Limon, 
the correspondence, as well as the passengers, may go that way. 
If not, they will be carried across the isthmus to Panama, and from 
there by the Pacific steamers to Puntarenas. 


78 COSTA RICA. 
RATES OF POSTAGE TO AND FROM COSTA RICA. 


Leiters— Five cents here and 10 centavos there for each half 
ounce, or fraction thereof. 

Postal cards.——Ywo cents here and 2 centavos there, each. 

Other mailable articles. —Ywo cents here and 2 centavos there 
for each 2 ounces, or fraction thereof. 

Registration fee— Ten cents here and 20 centavos there. 

Parcels post-— Articles of merchandise 12 cents here and 20 
centavos there for each pound or fraction thereof. 

“The postal service in Costa Rica is in a most excellent condi. 
tion. There are 92 post-offices in the Republic, which in 1890— 
’91 handled 2,101,428 pieces. 

The steamers of the Pacific Mail receive a liberal subsidy from 
the Government of Costa Rica. The others have been granted 
exemption of port dues, except hospital charges ($25), when 
touching regularly at Puerto Limon. 

Costa Rica was the first nation of Central America which had 
telegraphic service, and now has the cheapest rates; only 20 cents 
is charged for a message to any place in Central America. All 
centers of population of the Republic, whether large or small, are 
connected by wire with each other, and with the neighboring 
nations and the rest of the world. 

The nearest office of the cable company is at San Juan del Sur, 
in Nicaragua, but that office is connected by wire with the Costa 
Rican telegraphic system, and the service is done satisfactorily. 
The Government granted, in 1889, a concession to an European 
company, for a direct cable connecting Puerto Limon with the 
Atlantic lines. 

Telephonic service is established in San José, and the Govern- 
ment has entered into a contract with an American company for 
its extension throughout the. whole country. 

To reach Costa Rica from the United States the traveler has a 


COSTA RICA. 79 


choice of routes. He may take a Pacific Mail steamer from New 
York to Colon (fare, $go first class, $40 second class; time, 8 | 
days), and there take a steamer of the British Royal Mail Com. 
pany to Puerto Limon, thence by rail to San José; or he may take 
' a steamer of the Atlas company at New York, and go direct to 
Puerto Limon, stopping at Kingston, Jamaica, en route; fare, $80; 
time, 14 days. 

From New Orleans he may take a steamer of the Costa Rica 
line every Wednesday morning for Port Limon; fare, $50 first 
class, $40 second class, $25 steerage; time, 4% days; or he may 
take a steamer of the Costa Rica and Honduras line every Wednes- 
day; fare, $50; time, 9 days; or by crossing the Isthmus from 
Colon he can take a Pacific Mail steamer to Puntarenas; fare, 
$115 first class. 

From San Francisco the Pacific Mail steamers leave three 
times a month; fare, $105 first class, $52.50 steerage; time, 20 
days. 


Chapter XII. 


IMMIGRATION. 


The problem to be solved not only in Costa Rica, but also 
in all that portion of Western Hemisphere which was settled 
either by Spain or Portugal, and upon which the full development 
of their immense resources of all kinds depends, is the problem 
of immigration. The real secret of the prosperity and advanced 
state of civilization which the Argentine Republic and the Ori- 
ental Republic of Uruguay have reached consists in the proper 
solution given there to this problem, and to the establishinent of 
a steady and regular current of immigration which constantly in- 
creases the number of laborers, and adds to the productive forces 
of the country. 

Costa Rica, by reason of her geographical position, her climate, 
her institutions, the character of her people, the nature of her pro- 
ductions, the short distance from all the great centers of civilization, 
and the hearty welcome which her inhabitants give all foreigners, 
affords inducements, greater than many countries, for foreign cap- 
ital and labor to come to her territory and aid in the development 
of such wealth and prosperity as it is difficult to describe. 

The Government is conscious of the immense advantage which 
the country would derive from the increase, through healthy meth- 
ods, of its population, and without resorting to any artificial means 
has shown itself at all times exceedingly liberal in its concessions 
in favor of the immigrants.

A ““READY-MADE HOUSE.” IMPORTED FROM THE UNITED STATES. 


COSTA RICA. 81 


Foreigners as well as natives may acquire real estate, and public 
lands are granted to them without distinction, either by preémp- 
tion methods, or by sale at public auction. 

By preémption methods natives and foreigners can acquire the 
ownership of tracts of land of no less than so hectares, or 80 acres, 
by merely fencing them and giving notice to the local authority 
that it is their intention to put them under cultivation. If this 
cultivation is actually carried on for two years, during which the 
settlers can not be disturbed in the possession of the land, the 
proper patent will be issued in their favor. The patentees may 
then, if they so wish, take possession of another tract of land of 50 
hectares, and fence it, etc., on the same terms and conditions as 
before; and so on indefinitely. 

But if the tract of land is not cultivated, or not cultivated to the 
extent and in the serious way contemplated by the law, then it 
will be open again to settlement, and other parties may acquire 
them on the same conditions; the new settlers, however, are re- 
quired to pay their predecessors a fair compensation for all the im- 
provements, whatever they may be, which they made on the prop- 
erty. 

At public auction foreigners and natives can acquire the owner- 
ship of tracts of public land, not exceeding 600 hectares for each 
person, by filing a petition requesting the commissioner of the 
land office to cause the tract of land which they desire to be ad- 
vertised for sale, the petitioners having the privilege to purchase 
the land at the highest price brought at auction. The lowest ad- 
missible bid is $5 per hectare of prairie lands; $4 per hectare of 
wooded lands, containing India-rubber trees, vanilla, dye woods, 
etc.; $3 per hectare of wooded lands not having those trees, and 
$2 per hectare of marshy, stony, or barren lands. | 

But if these lands happen to be situated at a distance greater 
than 15 miles from a town of 3,000 inhabitants, or from the track 


of a railroad, the prices above named will be reduced to one-half. 
6 





CR 


82 COSTA RICA. 


If the distance is between 30 and Óo miles, the price will be . 
reduced to one-fourth; and if it is larger than 60 miles, the price 
will be one-eighth of the regular one above given. 

- The price can be paid, at the purchaser's option, either cash or 
within ten years. Ifthe latter method is adopted, interest at 6 per 
cent, to be paid annually, will be added. But if at any time the 
purchaser can prove, by sufficient evidence, that the improvements 
made by him on the land thus purchased are worth twice as much 
as the amount of the interest still due, he will be exempted from 
paying the interest. And if the improvements prove to be worth 
twice as much as the price to be paid for the land under the terms 
of sale, the purchaser will be exempted from paying said price. 

The Costa Rican citizenship is not forced upon any immigrant ; 
but it can be acquired after one year’s residence in the country. 

For the purpose of furthering immigration, the following con- 
cessions have been made: 


THE SAN BERNARDO DE TALAMANCA COLONY. 


Persons desiring to settle in this locality may be entitled, upon 
entering their names at the registry for that purpose kept at the 
proper office in San José, first, to free passage for them, their fami- 
lies, effects, and domestic animals, by rail to the port of Limon, 
and by sea from there to Old Harbor, and from there, on horse- 
back (six hours) to San Bernardo; second, to the use of a house, 
at San Bernardo, and to a certain allowance for their support, 
within a certain period, until they can settle to work; third, to 
the ownership in fee simple, and free from registration expenses, 
of a tract of land at Talamanca of 6 hectares (about 10 acres) 
for each head of a family, and one additional tract of 6 hectares 
for each one of his children; fourth, to be paid monthly the sum of 
$17 per family, for two years; and fifth, to be given a cow, a 
pig, a sow, a certain number of hens and chickens, a collection of 
seeds, and a set of the most necessary agricultural implements. 


COSTA RICA. 83 


Talamanca is a rich mining and agricultural district, well pro- 
vided with rivers and everything necessary to become a prosperous 
country. It has, nevertheless, the disadvantage of containing still 
within its limits some bands of uncivilized Indians, although not 
numerous. These Indians, however, have never shown themselves 
hostile to the settlers. 


THE BUENAVISTA COLONY. 

0 

Under a contract with the Atlantic Railroad Company and the 

River Plate Loan Trust Company of London 800,000 acres of 

land were granted for colonization purposes. Colonists of all na- 

tionalities, except negroes and Chinese, are admitted, and they are 

given liberally the ownership of fertile lands, in localities at be- 

tween 3,000 and 8,000 feet above the level of the sea, in the vicin- 

¡ty of the railroad, and not far from the centers of population of the 
Republic. 


THE NICOYA CUBAN COLONY. 


Undera contract with Don Antonio Maceo, and for the purpose 
of promoting and improving the cultivation of tobacco, the Gov- 
ernment has set apart a tract of land of about 24,000» acres in the 
fertile territory of Nicoya. Señor Maceo has obtained for himself, 
as well as for the colonists, the most liberal concessions. 


THE MATINA RIVER COLONY. 


The adaptability of the soil of Matina for the cultivation of 
cocoa, which in former times rendered this locality famous, induced 
the Government to enter into a contract with Signor Attilio La- 
zaro Riatti, of Italy, for the purpose of bringing to Matina immi- 
grants of all nationalities, who should engage in the aforesaid cul- 
tivation and restore as far as practicable the former state of things. 
Signor Riatti has been given for that purpose 1,600 acres of land 


84. | COSTA RICA. 


in the neighborhood of the Limon Railroad and in the localities 
which once were more renowned, and ample means and induce- 
ments to carry this plan to success have been granted to him. 


MR. REYNOLDS'S AMERICAN COLONY. 


An earnest effort is being made by Mr. W. H. Reynolds, of 
Hornellsville, N. Y., to establish an American colony in the fer- 
tile territory of the Republic which borders upon the Atlantic, on 
lands where cocoa, coffee, sugar cane, cotton, and many other agri- 
cultural productions of great value can be copiously raised. The 
Government has given Mr. Reynolds 66,000 acres of land to carry 
out his scheme, and granted exemption of duties for three years 
on all goods and articles imported into the country for the use 
of his colonists, and many other privileges and advantages of recog- 
nized importance. 

Mr. Reynolds has bound himself to take to the aforesaid local- 
ity one hundred American families, in agricultural labors, of good 
moral standing and experienced, and settle them in the places, 
within the limits of the tract granted, which are best adapted for 
the kind of cultivation selected, providing them with a house, 
seeds, implements, and other things necessary. Sufficient area is 
to be set apart in these lands for the construction of a town. 


THE COCO ISLAND GERMAN COLONY. 


A German subject by the name of August Gussler has entered 
into a contract with the Government by which he bound himself 
to take to the Costa Rican island named Coco, on the Pacific 
Ocean, a colony of fifty German families. An area of a square 
kilometer is to be reserved to build a town, and the rest of the 
territory is to be divided in lots of 16 hectares each, and arranged 
in such a way as to allow Mr. Gussler to have one and the Costa 
Rican Government the next, and so on equally and alternately. 


COSTA RICA. 85 
THE RODRIGUEZ COLONY. 


Under a contract with Don Eusebio Rodriguez, a rich land 
owner in the San Carlos Valley, some portion of the lands belong- 
ing to that gentleman, and situated in the immediate neighborhood 
of the Nicaragua Interoceanic Canal, is to be divided into lots 
and set apart for colonists, and devoted to agricultural purposes. 
Sefior Rodriguez is given for a certain time the use of $25,000, 
to be advanced by the Government, and many other privileges of 
importance. 

OTHER CONCESSIONS. 


In its desire to promote agriculture, the Costa Rican Govern- 
ment has made other concessions, as follows: One to Don Vicente 
Guardia and Don Odilón Jimenez, for the establishment of a 
sugar plantation at Guanacaste; another to Don José Machado y 
Pinto, for the establishment of a bank, under the name of “ The 
Costa Rican Loan, Trust, and Colonization Bank,” with a capital 
of $5,000,000, divided into 5,000 shares of $1,000 each, the Gov- 
ernment guaranteeing a dividend of 4 per cent a year. 


Chapter XIII. 


HISTORICAL AND BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 


The history of Costa Rica can be divided naturally into three 
different periods : 

(1) One which might be called colonial, and covers more than 
three centuries, from 1502, the year of the discovery, to 1821, the 
year of the declaration of independence from Spain; 

(2) Another of about twenty-seven years, between 1821 and 
1848, the latter being the year in which Costa Rica ceased to be 
a State of the Central American Confederation; 

(3) And another from 1848 to the present date. 

Nothing particularly important—capable to single Costa Rica 
out of the other colonies of Spain in the New World—can be 
found in the first period. “The Costa Rican soil was submitted 
to the same system of government as all the other dominions of 
Spain in America. And the sixty-two rulers who, whet.... with 
the name of governors or adelantados or alcaldes mayores, exercised 
jurisdiction in Costa Rica, and succeeded each other during these 
three hundred and twenty years, were more or less the same as the 
other rulers and viceroys of Spain in Spanish America. 

Men of great ability can be found among them. Diego de 
Nicuesa, the first Spantard who ever settled in Costa Rica, and 
was also its first governor, deserves to be remembered in history, 
Juan de Cavallón, Juan de Estrada Rávago, Juan Vazquez de 
Coronado, Rodrigo Arias de Maldonado, and others, occupy high

positions in the hearts and the esteem of the Costa Rican people, 
The last Spanish ruler was Don Juan Manuel de Cañas, who in 
October, 1821 yielded to the inevitable, joined the independent 
‘ movement, and became an officer of the new-born State. 

During the second period Costa Rica witnessed all the events 
which took place between the 15th of September, 1821, in which 
Guatemala proclaimed its independence from Spain, and the 3oth 
of August, 1848, in which she accepted the accomplished facts, 
withdrew from the Confederacy, ceased to be the State of Costa 
Rica, and began new life under the title which she still retains of 
the Republic of Costa Rica. 

During the third period Costa Rica has had the good fortune 
to live in peace, with no other disturbances than those produced 
by the invasion of Walker in Central America, during which she 
crowned herself with glory for her heroic and successful efforts 
to secure the independence of the common country. 

Her first President during this period was Don José Maria 
Castro, to whom the Costa Rican Congress decreed the title of 
Founder of the Republic. Don Juan Rafael Mora, who succeeded 
him, is one of the most conspicuous and meritorious figures in 
Central American history. The country owes him a great debt of 
gratitude. 

The administration of Don Bernardo Soto distinguished itself 
for its high spirit of progress and its earnest efforts in promoting 
the welfare of the eountry. 

Don José Joaquin Rodriguez is the present incumbent of the 
Costa Rican presidential chair. He was inaugurated on the 8th 
of May, 1890; and his administration has so far proved to be 
no less patriotic, farsighted, and acceptable to the country, than the 
most popular one which has ever existed in Costa Rica.

which by no means is claimed to be complete, will help the student

NOTE.—A reciprocal commercial arrangement entered into between the United States and 
Costa Rica, which awaits the confirmation of the Congress of the latter country, will make ma- 
terial changes in some of these rates. In consideration of the free admission of Costa Rican 
sugar, coffee, etc., into the United States, certain agricultural and other products of the United 
States will enjoy reduced rates, and in some instances will be admitted free into Costa Rica.

PARCELS POST CONVENTION BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES 
OF AMERICA AND COSTA RICA. 


For the purpose of making better postal arrangements between the United 
States of America and the Republic of Costa Rica, the undersigned, John Wan- 
amaker, Postmaster General of the United States of America, by virtue of 
authority vested in him by law, and Federico Volio, chargé d’affaires ad interim 
of the Republic of Costa Rica at Washington, duly empowered thereto by the 
President of the Republic of Costa Rica, have agreed upon the following articles 
for the establishment of a parcels post system of exchanges between the two 


countries, 
ÁRTICLE I. 


The provisions of this Convention relate only to parcels of mail matter to be 
exchanged by the system herein provided for, and do not affect the arrangements 
now existing under the Universal Postal Union Convention, which will con- 
tinue as heretofore; and all the arrangements hereinafter contained apply ex- 
clusively to mails exchanged under these articles. 


ARTICLE II. 


1. There shall be admitted to the mails exchanged under this Convention, 
articles of merchandise and mail matter, except letters, post-cards, and written 
matter, of all kinds that are admitted under any conditions to the domestic 
mails of the country of origin, except that no packet must exceed five kilograms 
or eleven pounds in weight, nor the following dimensions: greatest length in any 
direction sixty centimeters, or two feet; greatest girth one hundred and twenty 
centimeters, or four feet; and must be so wrapped or enclosed as to permit their 
contents to be easily examined by postmasters and customs officers. 

2. The following articles are prohibited admission to the mails exchanged 
under this Convention: 

Publications which violate the copy-right laws of the country of destination; 
liquids, poisons, explosive or inflammable substances, fatty substances, those 
which easily liquefy; live or dead animals, not dried, insects and reptiles; con- 
fections, pastes, fruits and vegetables which will easily decompose, and substances 


127 


128 COSTA RICA. 


which exhale a bad odor; lottery tickets or circulars; all obscene or immoral 
articles; other articles which may destroy or in any way damage the mails, or 
injure the persons handling them. 

3. All admissible articles of merchandise mailed in one country for the other, 
or received in one country from the other, shall be free from any detention or 
inspection whatever, except such as is required for collection of customs duties, 
and shall be forwarded by the most speedy means to their destination, being sub- 
jectin their transmission to the laws and regulations of each country respectively. 


ArTICLE III. 


1. À letter or communication of the nature of personal correspondence must 
not accompany, be written on, or enclosed with any parcel. 

2. If such be found, the letter will be placed in the mails if separable, and if 
inseparably attached, the whole package will be rejected. If, however, any 
such should inadvertently be forwarded, the country of destination will collect 
double rates of postage according to the Universal Postal Union Convention. 

3. No parcel may contain parcels intended for delivery at an address other 
than the one borne by the parcel itself. If such enclosed parcels be detected, 
they must be sent forward singly, charged with new and distinct parcels post 


rates. 
ARTICLE IV. 


1. The following rates of postage shall in all cases be required to be fully 
prepaid with postage stamps of the country of origin, viz: 

z. In the United States: for a parcel not exceeding four hundred and sixty 
grams or one pound in weight, twelve cents, and for each additional four hun- ' 
dred and sixty grams or one pound or fraction thereof, twelve cents, and in 
Costa Rica: for a parcel not exceeding four hundred and sixty grams or one 
pound in weight, twenty cents; and for each additional four hundred and sixty 
grams or one pound, or fraction thereof, twenty cents. 

3. The packages shall be promptly delivered to addressees at the post offices 
of address in the country of destination, free of charge for postage; but the 
country of destination may, at its option, levy and collect from the addressee for 
interior service and delivery a charge not exceeding five cents on each single 
parcel of whatever weight, and if the weight exceeds four hundred and sixty 
grams or one pound, a charge equal to one cent for each one hundred and fifteen 
grams or four ounces, of weight, or fraction thereof. 


ARTICLE V. 


1. The sender will, at the time of mailing the package, receive a receipt of 
mailing from the post office where the package is mailed, on a form like Form I 
annexed hereto. 





COSTA RICA. | 129 


2. The sender of a package may have the same registered by paying the reg- 
istration fee required for registered articles in the country of origin. 

3. An acknowledgment of the delivery of a registered article shall be returned 
to the sender when requested; but either country may require of the sender pre- 
payment of a fee therefor not exceeding five cents. 

4. The addressees of registered articles shall be advised of the arrival of a pack- 
age addressed to them, by a notice from the post office of destination. 


Arricue VI. 


1. The sender of each package shall make a Customs Declaration, pasted 
upon or attached to the package, upon a special Form provided for the purpose 
(See Form 2 annexed hereto) giving a general description of the parcel, an accu- 
rate statement of the contents and value, date of mailing, and the sender’s signa- 
ture and place of residence, and place of address. 

2. The packages in question shall be subject in the country of destination to 
all customs duties and all customs regulations in force in that country for the 
protection of its Customs Revenues; and the customs duties properly chargeable 
thereon shall be collected on delivery, in accordance with the customs regula- 
tions of the country of destination. 


Arricre VII. 


Each country shall retain to its own use, the whole of the postages, registra- 
tion and delivery fees, it collects on said packages ;. consequently, this Conven- 
tion will give rise to no separate accounts between the two countries. 


ArrticLe VIII. 


1. The packages shall be considered as a component part of the mails ex- 
changed direct between the United States of America and the Republic of Costa 
Rica, to be despatched by the country of origin to the other at its cost and by 
such means as it provides, in ordinary mail sacks to be marked “*Parcels Post” 
and to be securely sealed with wax or otherwise as may be mutually provided 
by regulations hereunder. 

2. Each country shall return to the despatching office by next mail, all bags 
or sacks used in the exchange of parcels. 

3. Although articles admitted under this Convention will be transmitted as 
aforesaid between the exchange offices, they should be so carefully packed as to 
be safely transmitted in the open mails of either country, both in going to the 
exchange office in the country of origin and to the office of address in the 
country of destination. 

CR 9 





| 30 COSTA RICA. 


4. Each despatch of a parcels post mail must be accompanied by a descriptive 
list in duplicate, of all the packages sent, showing distinctly the list number of 
each parcel, the name of the sender, the name of the addressee with address of 
destination; and must be enclosed in one of the sacks of such despatch under 
the Form of Form 3, annexed hereto. 


ARTICLE IX. 


Exchanges of mails under this Convention shall, until otherwise mutually 
agreed upon, be effected through the Exchange Post Offices at New Orleans 
and Port Limon, under such regulations relative to the details of the exchanges 
as may be mutually determined to be essential to the security and expedition of 
the mails and the protection of the Customs Revenues, 


ÁRTICLE X. 


1. As soon as the mail shall have reached the exchange office of destination, 
that office shall check the contents of the mail. 

2. In the event of the Parcel Bill not having been received, a substitute should 
at once be prepared. 

3. Any errors in the entries on the Parcel Bill which may be discovered, shall, 
after verification by a second officer, be corrected and noted for report to the 
despatching office on a Form, “Verification Certificate,” which shall be sent in 
a special envelope. 

4. If a parcel advised on the bill be not received, after the non-receipt has 
been verified by a second officer the entry on the bill should be canceled and the 
fact reported at once. 

5. Should a parcel be received in a damaged or imperfect condition, full par- 
ticulars shall be reported on the same form. 

6. If no “ Verification Certificate?” or note of error be received, a parcel mail 
shall be considered as duly delivered, having been found on examination cor- 
rect in all respects, 


ARTICLE XI. 


If the packages cannot be delivered as addressed, or if they are refused they 
should be reciprocally returned without charge, directly to the despatching office 
of exchange, at the expiration of thirty days from their receipt at the office of 
“destination, and the country of origin may collect from the sender for the return 
of the parcel, a sum equal to the postage when first mailed. 


COSTA RICA. 131 
Arricre XII.

responsible for the loss or damage of any package, and no indemnity can con- 
sequently be claimed by the sender or addressee in either country.

General of Posts of the Republic of Costa Rica, shall have authority to jointly 
make such further regulations of order and detail, as may be found necessary to 
carry out the present Convention from time to time; and may by agreement 
prescribe conditions for the admission to the mails of any of the articles prohib- 
ited by Article IT. 

ArticLe XIV.
