an Opinion ON His EIigibIIIty.

Judge Advocate General Lemly has given
an opinion to the Secretary of the Navy
that w. w. Joynes, second lieutenant, rev.
enuc cutter service. although a graduate OF
the United States Naval Academy is not
eligible for appointment to the marine
corps under the provisions of the navy per-
sonnel act. He holds that the manner now
prescribed by law for the appointment OF
naval graduates to the marine corps does
not cover the case of Lieut.. Joynes for the
reasons that he was once discharged from
the naval service, that he did not serve as
a second lieutenant in the marine corps
during the war with Spain and also because
he is above the maximum limit of age pre-
scribed by the personnel act for the admis-
sion of civilians into the marine corps.

other branch of the army. They have an
advantage over the regulars who have Just
arrived in their knowledge Of jungle fight
Ing acquired through their long stay at
Manila. Then 1t is said to be the part of
prudence TO maintain a strong reserve of
the most reliable character in such a move
ment as this now goirg on. Otis in his
dispatch of yesterday emphasized the ne
cessity of maintaining the old battle lines
surrounding the city, recessitating the de-
tail in those positions of a considerable
force of regulars.
Great satisfaction was expressed at the
press report that the American troops had
captured the railroad leading. to Malelos,
the insurgent headquarters. The great
darger to which the American advance has
been exposed has been the cutting OF the
line of communicable with Manila, pre-
venting the supplies from reaching the out
posts. Great difficulty has already been ex-
perie2ced in maintaining the transport serv-
ice over the road, owing to the length of
the American line, but row, with this rail-
road in our possession, the difficulty OF the
task will be reduced to fully one-half, If,
indeed, it is necessary to longer maintain
those extreme otitposts.

The dispatches of General Otis were for
waried to President Mckinley as soon as

Fighting Twenty Hours.
In computing the time at Manila when
the fighting began it is said that the bat
tie has been in progress more than twenty
hours.
War Department officials do not attempt
to conceal their belief that the lighting
has been very severe, and that the Ameri-
can losses are no doubt quite heavy.
