The business for which he was preeminently fitted was diplomacy, in the highest sense of the word.

His skill in this department of politics was never more severely tasked or more signally proved than during the latter part of 1691 and ...

The waters of this river, in times of normal flow, are entirely exhausted by the numerous irrigation canals which lead therefrom, traversing the plains for many miles, and conducting water to the large cotton plantations for which the region is famous. This region is known as "La Laguna," and its great area and depth of fertile soil are the result of an ancient lake-basin. So valuable is the water here that not many years ago ...
