HIS EXCELLENCY, GENERAL DON TOMAS REGALADO, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF EL SALVADOR. PROLOGUE. It has been the aim of the undersigned to compile in this booklet, in a concise form, the most comprehensive, up-to-date interesting data concerning the Republic of El Salvador and its participation in the Pan-American Exposition. The Republic of El Salvador is now a prosperous country and strives to maintain the most friendly inter- national and commercial intercourse with all other nations, and especially so with its near neighbors, the Central American States. El Salvador distinguishes itself principally because its people have proven to be courageous and are intel- ligent, active, and industrious. The topography of the country is such that its soil is well adapted to yield with ease all the products of the temperate and tropical zones. The inhabitants of El Salvador are devoted princi- pally to commerce and agriculture, while the aborigines carry on many small industries and manufacture a great variety of home-made articles which are consumed in the country. To develop trade and these industrial faculties and to improve agricultural methods and processes in use, has been and is the purpose of the present administration, which has at its head a liberal, broad-minded and ener- getic personage, General Don Tomas Regalado, Presi- dent of the Republic. He is ably seconded in his patriotic efforts by the members of his Cabinet Council, who are his indefatigable collaborators in establishing the gratifying era of peace, progress, and prosperity which El Salvador is now enjoying. The problem of maintaining peace, furthering prog- ress and enhancing prosperity in El Salvador, resolves itself into two principal factors, viz : immigration and foreign capital. The hospitality of the people of El Salvador is pro- verbial; liberal laws are in force, abundant guarantees are extended to immigrants who can easily secure ample reward for their efforts. The opportunities for investing capital with remu- nerative results are numerous and exceptional, as can be seen by the variety of products exhibited in the Sal- vador Section, which show w^hat a vast field of action there is for intelligent investments of every kind. General prosperity is fairly distributed among the people and great attention has been paid to Public In- struction, which has been imparted for years in the numerous National Schools and Professional Institutes which abound in the country. As a proof of the culture of the people of El Salvador, we have the high standard attained by the press, which is the most cultivated and interesting of all Central America. A system of indexing topics has been adopted in this booklet to facilitate the search for information by those desiring to refer at once to some special item, and il- lustrations have been added with the same purpose in view. Any detailed data will be gladly supplied by the undersigned to anyone applying therefor. In conclusion, the undersigned desires to call special attention to the good faith and integrity which have marked all the acts of General Regalado's Government, to the consequent progress attained, and to the perma- nent era of prosperity now enjoyed in El Salvador which offers such exceptional opportunities as compared with other Latin-American countries. Buffalo, N. Y., September 15, 1901. N. Veloz-Goiticoa. HIS EXCELLEN'CY DR. FRANCISCO A. REYES, MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE REPUBLIC OF EL SALVADOR. PROLOGO. Ha sido el proposito del infrascrito compilar en este foUeto, por manera concisa, el mayor niimero de datos interesantes y recientes sobre la Republica del Salvador y la parte que toma en la Exposicion Panamericana. La Republica del Salvador es ho}' pais prosper©, que trata de cultivar las relaciones internacionales y comer- ciales mas amistosas con todas las demas naciones y especialmente con sus vecinos, los Estados de la Ame- rica Central. El Salvador se distingue, principalmente, porque su pueblo ha probado ser valeroso y es inteligente, activo y laborioso. La topografia del pais es de tal especie, que su suelo se adapta bien al facil cultivo de todos los productos de las zonas templada y tropical. Los habitantes del Salvador estan dedicados princi- palmente al comercio y a la agricultura, y los aborigenes se ocupan en muchas pequenas industrias y manufac- turan gran variedad de articulos que se consumen en el pais. Ha sido y es objeto primordial de la presente Ad- ministracion, que tiene por Gefe al General Don Tomas Regalado, Presidente de la Republica, personalidad liberal, de vastas miras y grande energia — desarrollar el comercio y estas facultades industriales, asi como mejorar los metodos y procedimientos agricolas actual- mente en uso. Cooperan con el General Regalado en la realizacion de tan patrioticos esluerzos, los miembros desu Consejo de Ministros, quienes son sus colaboradores infati- gables en establecer la era de paz. progreso y prospe- ridad de que disfruta hoy El Salvador. El problema de mantener la paz, de fomentar el progreso y de aumentar la prosperidad del Salvador se 10 resuelve en dos factores principales ; a saber: inmigra- cion y capital extranjero. La hospitalidad del pueblo salvadoreno es proverbial: estan en vigencia leyes liberates ; se conceden vastas garantias a los inniigrantes, quienes pueden obtener con facilidad remiineracion amplia para sus esfuerzos. Son numerosas y excepcionales las oportunidades que hay para emplear capital con buen exito, corao puede verse por la vnriedad de productos exhibidos en la Seccion del Salvador, que demuestran el vasto campo de accion de que se dispone para la inversion de dinero en empresas lucrativas. La riqueza publica esta distribuida con equidad entre el pueblo y la instruccion publica, de aiios atras, se da en las numerosas escuelas nacionales e institutos pro- fesionales, que abundan en el pais. Como prueba de la cultura del pueblo salvadoreno, tenemos como tipo su prensa, que es la mas ilustrada e inieresante de la America Central. Se ha adoptado en este folleto el sistema de colocar las materias en indice, para facilitar la solicitud de algun informe a los que deseen referirse inmediatamente a un punto especial, y se han agregadcj ilustraciones con el mismo fin. Al suscrito le sera muy grato suministrar datos por- menorizados a las personas que asi los solicit en. Y al terminar, desea llamar laatencion hacia la buena fe e integridad que han servido de norma a todos los actos del Gobierno del Salvador los cuales han dado por resultado el progreso obtenido, y la era permanente de prosperidad alcanzada por aquella Republica que ofrece ventajas tan excepcionales, comparadas con las de los otros paises latino-americanos. BuFALO, N. Y,: 15 de septiembre de 1901. N. Veloz-Goiticoa. HIS EXCELLENCY, DR. RAFAEL ZALDIVAR, CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMISSION FOR SALVADOR AT THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION. 13 AREA AND POPULATION. El Salvador is one of the five former States of the Federal Republic of Central America. It lies imme- diately west of Honduras and has its ocean frontage upon the Pacific. The territorial area of El Salvador is of 7,225 square miles. Its population amounts to 1,106,848 inhabitants, of which 593,893 male and 512,955 female (see table page 28), therefore it has 153.19 inhabitants to the square mile, which fact gives El Salvador a very prom- inent place among the most densely populated countries in the world. RACES. The population of El Salvador is composed of whites, mixed race and Indians (no negroes), in the following proportion: White race 10 5g Mixed race 5° /^ Indian race 40 ^ Total 100 ^ The first are of European descent, the second con- stitute a special race, well organized, perfectly assim- ilated to the most refined civilization, possessing re- markable physical beauty, great moral qualities, and admirable intellectual capacities, and the third are Indians of Mexican origin, generally conversant with the methods of modern civilization. 14 LANGUAGE. The national tongue is Spanish and the aborigines speak this language as a general rule, but in some local- ities the primitive language is spoken. This language is called the Nahuat, which is a derivation of the Mex- ican Nahuatl, some tribes speaking the Lenca or Chutal dialect. CONSTITUTION. The constitution of the Republic of El Salvador dates from August 13, 1886, and is very liberal. It provides for absolute liberty of religion. POLITICAL DIVISIONS. The Republic is divided into fourteen Departments, represented on the red union of the flag by as many white stars. These Departments comprise 28 cities, 64 towns and 161 villages, giving a total of 253 inhabited places (see table page 32.) GOVERNMENT. The Government consists of three different and inde- pendent branches, namely, the Legislative, the Execu- tive, and the Judicial Powers. LEGISLATIVE POWER. The Legislative Power is exercised by a National Assembly of Deputies composed of three members for each of the fourteen Departments, therefore the whole House consists of forty-two members. 15 EXECUTIVE POWER. At the head of the Executive Power is the President of the Republic, who is elected by the majority vote of the people for a period of four years and cannot be re- elected for the following term of office. In the like manner a Vice-President is elected. The President has a Cabinet Council composed of four Ministers of State to transact the business of the Government. JUDICIAL POWER. The Judicial Power is exercised by a Supreme Court of Tustice and Tribunals of the Third, Second and First Instances. LOCAL AUTHORITIES. Each Department is provided with a Governor and a Commandant General. The Local Governments are in charge of the Muni- cipalities which are elected by universal suffrage, and consist of a Mayor, a Syndic and two or more " Regi- dores," according to the respective population. PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. Public instruction is free and compulsory. There are 525 elementary schools of both sexes. Rudimentary instruction is imparted in the National Institute which is provided with everything necessary. Superior or professional instruction is given at the National Univer- sity, which disposes of a magnificent building. It pos- sesses a laboratory, a museum of natural history, and a library of over 1,600 volumes. 16 There are also the normal school for boys and girls, a kindergarten, and numerous private institutes of tuition. The Government devotes $388,552 annually to publig instruction. The national library contains 15,000 vol- umes. ARMY. The Army of El Salvador amounts to 100,000 men, which number can be greatly increased in case of inva- sion, of war, or for suppressing interior rebellion, for in said cases all Salvadorians from the ages of eighteen to fifty years must enlist. The Government has in use ordnance equipment of the most modern type and is well provided with all classes of war material. One million dollars is spent yearly in this department. CURRENCY. El Salvador has the silver standard. Its monetary unit is the peso or dollar, equivalent in value to the French five franc piece. All internal commerce and business transactions are carried on in silver and bank notes, but there are no Government notes. The re a- tive value of currency compared with the gold unit or what is called the rate of exchange is quoted according to the latest current rates at 230^, that is to say that $100 U. S. gold is equal to $230 paper. FINANCES. The Message presented by the President of the Republic, General Don Toraas Regalado, to the Na- tional Assembly on February 20, 1901, contains very interesting items regarding the financial status of El Salvador. The Total Revenue of said year amounted to $6,784,- 751.31, and the General Expenditure to $6,751,027.87, leaving a surplus of $33,723.44 in favor of the Admin- istration. INTERNx\L DEBT. The consolidated internal debt and Government bonds amounted to over $10,000,000, but it has been reduced by the present administration to $7,588,978.74 of what is called the bonified debt. NO FOREIGN DEBT. The Republic of El Salvador has no foreign debt of any kind. IMPORT AND EXPORT. The total exports of El Salvador amounted to over $9,000,000 silver, and the imports to some $6,000,000, consequently there was a balance of trade in favor of El Salvador of over $3,000,000, which proves the pros- perous condition of the country. EXPORT TO SALVADOR FROM THE PORT OF NEW YORK. I desire to call special attention to the statistical in- formation furnished by Hon. Ernest Schernikow, Vice- Consul for El Salvador at New York City and Delegate of said Republic to the Pan-American Exposition. This information is most interesting and refers to the exports made from the Port of New York to those of El Sal- vador, concerning a period of the last six months of the 18 year 1900 and of the first six of 1901, and contained in two statistical tables in pages 33 and 34 of this booklet. PARTICIPATION IN THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION. For its participation in the Pan-American Exposition the Government of El Salvador appointed a commission residing at San Salvador, the capital, composed of Dr. Dario Gonzalez, as Chairman, and of Doctor Paul T. Ferrer, Mr. Carlos Renson, Engineer D. Gall and Mr. G. Lozano, as members, who undertook to collect and remit to Buffalo the Salvador exhibit now displayed in the Agricullural Building at the Pan-American Expo- sition. Dr. Gonzalez's efforts in this connection deserve special praise. REPRESENTATION. To represent the Republic of El Salvador at the Pan- American Exposition the Government appointed the following Commission ; His Excellency, Senor Dr. Don Rafael Zaldivar, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, Chairman of the Commission for El Salvador. Seiior Don Ernesto Schernikow, Vice Consul, Dele- gate for El Salvador. Senor Dr. Don Paul T. Ferrer, Delegate for El Sal- vador. Seiior Don Marco A. Soto, Jr., Secretary of Legation, Delegate for El Salvador. Senor Don Nicolas Veloz-Goiticoa, Delegate for El Salvador and Secretary of the Commission. 20 His Excellency, Doctor Rafael Zaldivar, came to Buffalo and took possession officially of the space as- signed to the Republic of El Salvador at the Pan-Amer- ican Exposition. He inspected personally, and ar- ranged all matters concerning the plans and facade of the Salvador Section. LOCATION OF EXHIBIT. The section of the Republic of Salvador at the Pan- American Exposition is located on the south-east por- tion of the Agricultural Building, where a suitable enclosure with a facade of artistic design contains a collective exhibit of its principal articles, displayed in show- cases and glass jars. Said facade has in the center the Coat of Arms of the Republic, and is adorned with Salvador, American and Pan-American flags, and standards of different sizes. PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS. As the Republic of Salvador is devoting all its atten- tion to the internal organization of its finances, the exhibit displayed at the Pan-American Exposition is but a modest representation of the vast agricultural, mining, and industrial resources of the country. The principal products of El Salvador are coffee, indigo, cocoa, tobacco, sugar-cane, and cereals; and in minerals, it yields gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, zinc, and coal. Numerous plants grow spontaneously, forming ex- tensive forests. A variety of trees produce all kinds of 21 woods for construction and other purposes, as well as textile-fibres, dyeing-barks and woods, balsams, gums, resins and medicinal plants. The mahogany, cedar, walnut, laurel and lignum-vitae woods deserve special attention. Among the textile plants there are the henequen, the ramie, the escobilla, which is similar to the hemp, the cocoa-fibre, etc. Other products are represented by the Peruvian bal- sam, rubber, copalchi, guacos and several plants of therapeutic properties. Those needing cultivation are represented by all kind of cereals, potatoes, vegetables, etc. Cattle is raised and multiplied with great facility, specially in the plantations of the coast. In the waters of the rivers, lakes and seas, a great variety of fish is found. On the coast of Sonsonante the purple clam produces a beautiful color for dyeing purposes. The reptiles are represented by crocodiles and a variet}^ of inoffensive serpents. Birds are plentiful, and some are of so beautiful a plumage that they might easily constitute the base of a very productive industry. CLIMATE. The climate of El Salvador is divided into three dis- tricts, corresponding to so many zones, called hot lands, temperate lands and cold lands. The denomi- nation of the cold land must be accepted in a relative sense because it does not depend on latitude, buton the .mountainous topography of the country. 22 It is a well-known fact that El Salvador is one of the old states of the Federal Republic of Central America and lies toward the Pacific Ocean All the coast, on the Pacific side, as well as the depressions of the soil corresponding to Sonsonante and San Miguel, belong to the hot zone, having an average annual temperature of 28° to 30°, centigrade. From March to August the heat is more intense, but the breezes from the sea mod- erate this high temperature, and at night time it is cold. The altitude of this zone is generally of 400 metres above the sea level. In this region are found palm and cocoa trees, rubber, black balsam and hard woods, oranges, other fruits, and excellent pasture. To the temperate zone belong the territories and valleys of the central table lands, comprised between the limits of the hot land and 1,500 metres. The mean annual temperature oscillates here between the 18° and 27°, centigrade. This soil produces sugar-cane, coffee, cotton, tobacco, corn, beans, rice, bananas, pine-apples, and wheat in the high parts, and a variety of tropical fruits. Vine-trees are to be found, but are not culti- vated to any considerable extent. The cold zone is of small extent, being limited to some high table-lands and mountains, ranging from 1,500 metres to 2,500 metres, or a little over. The annual average temperature in these places is of 12° to 15°, centigrade. This zone produces potatoes, wheat, sev- eral vegetables, peaches, cucumbers, etc. Apples and pears could be easily produced in this zone, and even corn and beans are extensively cultivated in this sec- tion, which produces oak and pine trees also. 23 Due to the fertility of the ground, to the facilities of irrigation, and to favorable atmospheric conditions, many plants of the temperate zone develop well in the hot ones and vice versa. Thus sugar-cane, for instance, requires for its complete development an altitude be- tween 500 and 1,500 metres, and nevertheless it is pro- duced in several localities of the hot zone, and the same can be said of palm trees. As a general rule, the climate in El Salvador is very healthy, specially in the temperate zone. There are two seasons during the year, the dry one and the rainy season, this latter commencing generally in May and lasting to October. The dry season ex- tends from November to April. On the coast and in the hot zone the rainy season is generally shorter than in the rest of the territory. GEOLOGY. The track of coast is formed of alluvion layers and sands reposing upon sedimentary rocks. The chain of mountains spread all over Central America contain very many volcanoes formed of bassaltic ejections. In all Central America and specially in El Salvador, the territory is covered by a thick layer of yellow clay, due to some general prehistoric inundation, which separates the surface from the ancient volcanic formations. MINING DISTRICTS. In the Republic of Salvador there are three mining districts, viz: San Miguel,, Cabanas and Matepan. 24 MINING PRODUCTS EXHIBITED. District of San Miguel: — The best ores of this dis- trict belong to the Department of San Miguel, La Union and Morazan. This zone is very rich in precious metals, especially in sulphide and chloride of silver ores. At the Salvador exhibit there are three samples of gold and silver ores from the San Bartolo, Copetillos and Eva mines ; seven samples of gold ores and two of gold and silver from different mines of the District of San Miguel ; two of gold and four of gold and silver from the dis- trict of Morazan. District of Cabanas: — This district is considered the richest of the country, and in the Jurisdiction of San fsidro there exist the gold veins of San Enrique, La Cola del Toro, El Companero, El Cerro de Avila and La Pepita. At the Salvador exhibit there are six samples of gold, silver and copper ores from this dis- trict. The nine samples of copper and manganesium from Charlatenango are from the zone of Cabanas. District of Matepan: — The principal ores ob- tained in this district are iron, although some virgin veins of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and graphite are found. There are thirteen samples from this dis- trict at the Salvador exhibit, of which ten are of gold and silver, and three of magnetic iron ores. The best seams of coal are those of Ilobasco and El Lempa. This is what is called brown coal, and the mines have not been sufficiently explored up to the present time. 26 AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRIES. The inhabitants of El Salvador are principally de- voted to agricultural labors. The principal articles of cultivation are coffee, cocoa, sugar-cane, indigo, tobac- co, corn, rice, wheat, and other cereals and vegetables. • AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS EXHIBITED. Coffee : — This plant was introduced for the first time in El Salvador in 1852, brought from Havana. The first coffee plantations were established in 1876 in the Department of La Paz. The average annual crop is to-day of 500,000 bags, representing a value of eight to ten million dollars. At the Salvador exhibit there are twelve samples of coffee from the several depart- ments that produce it now, the best sample being from the plantation of General Tomas Regalado. Sugar ; — After coffee, sugar-cane is the most im- portant product of El Salvador. The best sugar-cane is a dark colored one called "Batavia." The actual production is of 110,000 bags of molasses, and 150,000 of sugar. The sugar exportation amounted, in 1900, to 15,818 pounds, therefore this article was nearly all consumed in the country. There are three samples of sugar-cane at the Salvador exhibit and two of sugar. Cocoa : — Cocoa is produced very easily in El Sal- vador, but its cultivation is carried on in a very reduced scale, the exportation of this product reaching in 27 1900 to scarcely 1,445 pounds. Three samples of cocoa are displayed in the Salvador exhibit. Indigo: — About 7,000 sacks of indigo are produced yearly, which are sold for $1,500,000. Five samples of indigo are displayed at the Salvador exhibit. Tobacco : — El Salvador exported, in 1900, 399,965 lbs. of leaf and manufactured tobacco. The Salvador ex- hibit displa3-s ten samples of leaf tobacco, two samples of cigars and three of cigarettes. Corn: — Nearly the whole crop of corn is consumed in the country. In 1900, 72,666 lbs. were exported. Corn is the daily bread of El Salvador people. There are very many varieties, which are distinguished by the color and size of the grain. Four different samples of corn are displayed at the Salvador exhibit. Rice and Wheat : — These two articles are produced in a small quantity. Beans: — Their cultivation is very easy, three crops are obtained every year, and there are great varieties of beans. Four different samples of this product are displayed at the Salvador exhibit. For interior consumption, potatoes, yucca, sweet potatoes, banana and a numerous variety of fruit trees are cultivated. Rubber, Peruvian balsam and vanilla are export articles, although in a small scale, and offer a vast field for industrial enterprises. This applies also to textile plants, such as the henequen or agave, and to numerous 28 oleaginous seeds and grains, the cultivation of which, in a large scale, would leave a large margin of profit. INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS EXHIBITED. Cotton and silk tissues are manufactured in El Sal- vador as well as palm-baskets, hammocks, shoery and crockery. The admirable silk tissues manufactured in El Salvador and displayed at its exhibit, and the most beautiful and delicate embroidery, made and exhibited by Miss Julia Hernandez, deserve special mention. FORESTRY. FORESTRY PRODUCTS EXHIBITED. The forestry products at the Salvador exhibit are divided into eight classes, viz: of woods for building and for constructing furniture there are 62 samples ; of medicinal plants, 42 ; of tanning plants, five ; of textile plants, II ; of dyeing plants, 11 ; of gums and resins, 16; of oleaginous plants six samples. 29 AWARDS RECEIVED BY THE REPUBLIC OF EL SALVADOR AT THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION.
