The chief city of the Island Willem stad (also called Curacao), a town of nearly 20.000 Inhabitants! was attacked during the night of June 8. by band of 500 men from the South American mainland; the forts and police headquarters were seized; a supply of arms and ammunition was stolen; an American ship was commandeered; and the adventurers set sail for Venezuela with Curacao's governor and Ita chief of police 118 hostages. "As astounding as this exploit appears to the Twentieth century observer,** continues the bulletin, "it is only a repetition, with slight nlterations, of experiences tpm the Island's past. Curacao has n tine harbor, one of the finest in the West Indies. This fact was recognlzeu from the day that a Spanish explorer. Ojeda, a friend of Columbus, discovered the Island In 1499; and at intervals the great naval powers have tried fo claim the harbor. Settled by Spanish. "It was given by the Spanish' e&» peror to the governor of Venezuela In 1522 and some time afterward a Spanish settlement was established on It. The Dutch captured it in 1634 and it served a decade later as political training ground for Feter Stuyvesant, who afterward was made governor of New Amsterdam, predecessor of New York city. "Curacao suffered attacks In 1673 and 50 years later, both times from the French. On the second occasion the French were driven out by the British, who remained in possession jof the island for two years. After the Dntch regained control, Curacao experienced other attacks from English warships, and the island was under British control from 1805 fo 1815. "Since the latter date the Dutch have been undispnted owners of the barren little isle; but there was at least a threat from an entirely different quarter In 1903 when German men of war put into Curacao during their famous debt-col lection demonstration against Venezuela. It was rumored that Germany dreamed of making the harbor a base for control of the West Indies. "In spite of a population more than half made up of negroes and mulattoes, and with considerable numbers of Jews, Spaniards and South Americans, Curacao (or Willemstad, If. one chooses) is Intensely Dutch in appeasance. Dutch cleanliness has been successfully transplanted to this tropical site, and the main streets, gutters, sidewalks, and walls are spick and span. Only In some of the narrow alleys of the negro quarter la a lack of cleanliness to be noted. "Curacao is approximately 40 miles long by three to seven miles wide, and lies 41 miles off the coast of Venezuela. The Island Is quite dry and produceit little. Practically all food is Imported, and even drinking water is brought from the mainland for those who csn afford It Otheni drink rain water caught from the roofs and stored in cisterns. Vsluable as Trading Station. "The island's chW value Is as a trading station, a value to which both its lvcaiiou and its harbor contribateL Lying just off the northern coast ef South America, and controlled by a country famous for Its peaceful and efficient political and commercial methods, It makes an ideal distributing and transfer point between Ita potentially wealthy, but sometlmea turbulent neighbors or the one hand, and Europe and North America en the other. Willemstad harbor la shaped like a banjo, with a narrow neck for an entrance and a large circular basin for anchorage and wharf locations. The town is built on both sides of the narrow entrance channel and along the flanks of the basin. A pontoon bridge crosses the channel and is swung aside to permit the passage of ships. A sidelight on the town's population is furnished by the tolls charged on this bridge. 'Persons wearing shoes' pay 4-5 of one cent, 'persons without shoes,' 2-S of one cent, for each passage. "The well-to-do Dutch of Curacao make the gesture of maintaining country places on the barren stretches outside the city, but few plants other than cacti and aloes can he coaxed into growing throughout most of tbe Island. The several ostrich ranches fit better into the picture. "The famous liqueur, caracao, la still distilled in s|iall quantities on the island from the email hitter oranges grown locally, 'but the Industry In tbe malii bae been takeS over by Amsterdam. "Petroleum is tbe greatest single factor In (Curacao's present-day actlv Ity, and one of the largest refineries in tbe world is maintained »n the island. The crude petroleum Is brought over in tank harges from the rich Venezuelan field around Ijike Maracalbo. The numerous refined products are shipper from Curacao to various parts of the world." , r ^ - '.V'i Four summer cottages and a gte*- age, valued at several thousands of dollars, burned, to' the ground early Wednesday morning of last week when a mysterious fire broke out in one of a group of 40 cottages at the Voliva subdivision at the beach qr Zion. • • • • ^ Tim* the Hosier • Ulrica!
