Naval Officers Think the Battleshtp Must
Go Out Of Commission.

New York, Dec. 14.-NavaI officers be
lieve the battleship Massachusetts
must go out of commission, and that
practically new keel and several new
frames must be supplied to her before
she VIII be fit for sea. This apprehen-
sion has been caused by an incomplete
examination made by naval construct
ors and divers yesterday. which showed
that the keel is buckled for 240 feet and
frames are twisted in about II different
places in that distance. These injuries
are the result of the accident of last
Saturday, when the big vessel struck a
mass of rock near Diamond reef and
drove over it. The full extent Of the
injuries will not be known until the ship
is in the dry dock

dience to an instinct of nature, which
is higher law than any that man can
make. The fact is that when General
Lee took command of the Virginia
troops, although the ordinance of Sc
cession had been submitted by the con-
vention to a popular vote it was not
ratified at an election until a month
afterward. So far as the secession or
dinance is concerned it could not be
operative till ratified; even if consti-
tutional it was a mere proposal, like
the draft of a deed that has not been
delivered.
Writing, with broken heart, to his
sister, in Baltimore, the day he resign
ed, General Lee said: THE whole
South is in state of revolution; with
all my devotion to the union, and a
feeling of loyalty and duty as an Amer
lean citizen, I have not been able to
make up my mind to raise my hand
against my relatives-my children, my

FLORIDA MAY FURNISH THE
CIGARS.

The Cuban war has done one big
thing for this country; it has compell-
ed recognition, indirectly, of the value
Of Florida lands for the production of
the finest tobacco in the world. In the
course Of his recent trip to the south,
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson was as
tonished to discover that 100 900, 600 Ha-
vana, cigars were actually grown and
manufactured at present on the Flor
ida peninsula. Already great areas in
the western part of the state are plant
ed with this crop, and extensive ar
rangements have been made for it's in
PRODUCTION into the central region. Thus
it may be expected that before long,
Florida will rival Cuba as tobacco
producer, in respect to the quantity of
yield, while the quality of its cigar leaf
seems to be quite equal to that of the
famous Vuelta Abajo. All the condi-
lions of climate in Florida favor the
production of the highest grade of to-
baccoo. The soil is much like that of
Cuba, and, by the aid of the system of
spraying that initiates natural rainfall.
the plants are ripened in forty-five
days after they are put out. Tobacco
can be grown almost all the year. and
crops can be set out in every month
