tcultleS to the traV6Ier than they QO, as this tree there affords the sole sup ply of fuel and forage. The wood is very hard, fine grained, dark reddish brown in the heart wood, and some niture, but it is difficult to get pieces large enough for lumber Its durabil- 1ty is probably not inferior to that of the locust. As fuel the mesquite has no superior. Travellers across the country where it abounds rely upon it for fuel.'
 Tn accordance with a request from this department the commissioner of agriculture under date of October g. 1887, stated the following as his views upon the subject: For the region re- ferred to, Arizona, the mesquite full fills the functions of forest tree. Not only does the mesquite form the only wood material in the region, inferior though it be except in fuel, but it's ex- lstence even in the dwarfed growth which is partly due to climatic condi- tions, partly to browsing animals and unavoidable fires, is of great value,' etc.
 Tn the view of this office, based upon the above disinterested scient flc research and conclusions, mesquite should be chased as timber, particu- larly in Arizona, where it forms the chief. if not the only, forest growth and its preservation is of great im- portance to the future. Consequently the action of this office respecting prosecutions for cutting mesquite will not be governed by the decision of the court of Arizona that mesquite is not timber within the meaning of the act of congress above mentioned. You
 will therefore investigate thoroughly and carefully report to this office all
 cutting and removing of mesquite
 wood or timber from the public lands in Arizona
 The last paragraph left no doubt in
 MT. Holsinger's mind of the purpose
 of the general land office, and he has
 announced that he will cause proceed l ings to be instituted for the confisca-
 tiOn of all such wood now cut and for
 the prosecution of all who shall cut mesquite wood from the public lands.
 He further says that he will not be unnecessarily rigorous and will recom- mena a ruling permitting the cutting of dead or partly dead mesquite. Ad- hitting that the enforcement of the views of the land office will work hardship upon this locality, he believes | that it will be provision for the fu-- ture which will be ultimate bene- ficial, for without the restriction to be imposed, within a few years the cou1- try would be denuded and the only fuel obtainable would be coal or wood con- veyed from great distances at tre-
 mendcus cost
 Wood dealers and others believe that the immediate consequence will be al- most disastrous to the extent of at least doubling the cost of fuel. They
 believe that the question of fuel for the future should be left for future so- lution. This is not the first community to worry about the same problem, which has always been simplified in one way or another
 Regular dealers and responsible per sons will accept the view of the land office, but it is likely that huadredsaef6 Mexican wood cutters will risk federal prosecution and continue to invade the public lands as they have always done.

The Matter Of the Allotment Of
 the Big Appropriation
WAS SHIPS SHARE FIRST
The Report from the Court Of
 Inquiry Next Week
Yesterday Was spent in Talks With the American Divers-Tvo span iSh Torpedo Boat DeStroyerS Turned Out Fully Equipped.

Washington, March 9.-The features of the days events were the prompti- tude with which the senate passed the bill authorizing the appropriation of $5O, ,00O 900 for the national defense and the haste with which it was put through the formal proceedings, en- crossed and signed by the president. While the matter. has been considered it can be stated that the fund has not yet been allotted among the various branches of the government service.
 Both of these had prepared roughly and tentatively an estimate of the funds it could dispose of to adva ntage, but upon looking over the ground, the president concluded that it would be well, perhaps, to avoid making aliot- ments until the necessity became ap- parent The reason back of this is that the sum that can be proftabIy spent for warships> cannot even be guessed at with an approximation to accuracy just now. As ships are to be the first choice in the steps for defense until their cost IS ascertained, it is not possible to estimate the amounts of the remainder of the appropriation to be distributed among the other branches of the military and naval service.
 The secretary of the navy is making every effort to secure from our naval attaches and by diplomatic officers abroad all the information obtainable respecting the number of ships build ing, their price and other data. This does not necessarily interfere With tle execution of the plans confided to Captain Brownson, who sailed for Southampton today, but rather prom ises to assist him materially in his in has the government bought no war ships, but it has not even secured any option on one.
 THE MAINE INQUIRY.
 The statement was made at the navy department today that the report of the Maine court of inquiry would probab. y come to the department some time next week. It did not appear, how ever, that this statement was founded on any direct report from the court, but was rather an estimate passed upon the progress so far made, as is revealed by the change of methods on the part of the court.
 EXAMINING THE DIVERS.
 Havana, March 9.-The arrival here of the Montgomery was very quiet, it being generally understood that she comes to replace the coast survey steamer Fern as quarters for Captain Sigsbee and others. Commander Con verse of the Montgomery is high authority on explosives and his advice will be useful to the court of inquiry into the loss of the Maine The court held it's usual sessions today, exam ming the divers. Only the Spanish divers were at work and they were only occupied a part of the day.
 STAINS NEW BOATS.
 Glasgow, March 9.-The Spanish torpedo boat destroyers Osado and Audaz left the Clyde bank this after noon, fully manned and with all their guns and other armament on board. They will embark ammunition tomor- row at Greenock and will sail on Sat urday. At their trial they developed a speed of thirty knots.

THE SUBJECT OF SHIPS.
Commander Brownson Sailed fer Eng
 land Yesterday.

New York, March 9.-Commander w. H. Brownson of the United States navy sailed for Southampton On the American line steamer St. Paul today. He said to the reporters: 'I am going to England on orders directly from the navy department, not of the pres ident. My mission is to prepare for the exigencies of the situation and to see what can be had and what can be done in case of war"
 The commanders attention was called to the published statement that foreign ship builders are trying to sell their poorer stock to the United States. You may rest assured" said he, that they won't sell me any trash" Charles H. Cramp, the shipbuilder, also sai-ed on the St. Paul.

The Observance of Easter.

"THE observance of Easter dates back
to about the year 68, at which time
there was much contention among the
Eastern and Western churches as to
what day the festival be observed. 1t
was finally ordained at the council of
Nice in the year 325 that 1t must be OBJ
served throughout the Christian world
on the same day. The decision settled
that Easter should be kept upon the
Sunday first after the fourteenth day of
the first Jewish month, but no general
conclusion was arrived at as 30 the cycle
by which the first festival was to be reg
ulated, and some churches adopted one
of usage was put an end to, and the
Roman rule making Easter the first
Sunday after the fourteenth day of the
calendar moon Was established in Eng
land in $3.50. After nine centuries a dis
crepancy in the keeping Of Easter was
caused by the authorities of the English
Church declining to adopt the reforma-
ton of the Gregorian Calendar in 1889.
The difference was settled in 1852 by the
adoption of the rule which makes Easter
day always the first Sunday after the
full moon which appears on or next
after the twenty-irst day of March. If
the full moon happens upon a Sunday,
Easter is the Sunday after April
