PREFERRED CIVILIANS.
An Interesting Decision on Commits
sions in the Marine Corps

At the request of the Secretary of the
Navy, the Solicitor General of the United
States has rendered decision of consider
able interest to a number of young men
who are applicants for commissions in the
Marine Corps. The decision is based on
the case of Ernest E. West, who served as
an acting ensign in the war with Spain.
The law providing for the appointment of
civilians as commissioned officers in the
Marine Corps places in the preferential
class graduates of the Naval Academy who
resigned or were granted honorable dis
| charges from Annapolis. ii provides also
that persons appointed from civil life shall
not be more than thirty years of age but
that the age limit may be waived where
the applicant is Naval Academy graduate.
Mr.. West was graduated from the Naval
Academy after completing the four years
academic course. but resigned before COM
pieting the two years OF sea service neces-
sary TO final graduation and the granting
Of a commission. He is now nearly thirty
two years of age. and the question was
submitted by the Secretary of the Navy
TO the Department of Justice whether his
completion of the four years course con-
stituted graduation from the Academy
within the meaning OF ,he act. The So
licitor General decides that Mr.. West is
entitled TO the privileges granted to gradu
ates of the Naval Academy who are appIi-
cants for commissions in the Marine Corps,
II not being necessary, within the meaning
of the act, for applicants to have secured
certificates of final graduation after six
years OF cadet service, four years at the
Academy, and two years at sea- Therefore
the Solicitor General holds that the age
limitation may be waived in Mr. Vests
case, and that he may be given a COM
mission in the permanent establishment,
subject to the prescribed examination.

palm tree"-that is, one did not pay by
the acre, or caballeria, but by the num-
ber OF palms on the tract selected-poco o
mas o menos, more or less"f-so much per
tree. the ground in which they grew being
considered of little value in conparIso.i
Not only for its stately beauty is the palm
one of Natures most glorious gifts TO the
primitive man. 1t furnishes his house
walls, roof -thatch, fencing material and
boat timber. Its edible tops make deli
cious salad, its nuts the sweetest oil. its
fibres the strongest thread; in short, it
supplies many OF his needs, from the era
Ole of his first sleep to the coffin of his
last.
If one wants TO see a veritable Canaan
let him come on horseback, or in a car
riage, from Havana TO Guines city, along
the old calzada, or paved highway which
is enc of the four good roads In the entire
province. 1t is smooth as a board ao3r,
white as pulverized coral can make it, end
Shaded most of the way by Indian laurels
of enormous growth. Extending his ride
few miles back to the hilltops he can
look down upon the Caribbean Sea on oGe
side, and across one of the most beautiful
valleys in the world on the other, with its
groves of royal palms and Sweet fields
arrayed in living green" From the dis
tance no hint is disclosed oftthe deso!atioH
and loneliness wrought by war. Only tie
original richness of the soil remains uninl-
paired-and its possibilities are worth
coming far to study.
An American of my acquaintance who
has been experimenting some years in
Guines valley says that two crops of all
most everything are an absolute certainty
every twelve months, and of many things
three crops year can be raised. He
plants Irish potatoes in the fall EARLY
Rose seed potatoes, received from the
United States), and digs In ten weeks.
Then a different variety is planted, and
the crop is dug in March, 10 be shipped TO
the United States before the spring plant
ing there has begun. His two crops of
onions are handled in the same way. In
some of the sugar-cane lands. both pota-
toes and onions are raised while the cane
is growing. In a single, year, the same
field may produce one crop Of cane and
two crops of potatoes and onions. AS TO
other vegetables, they grow all the time,
with never any intermission on account of
the weather. Tomatoes. cabbage, beans,
etc, planted any day in the year, grow
with astonishing rapidity; and as soon as
one crop is out of the ground another can
be put in its place.

THE VIKING UNAVAILABLE.
Ii Would Cost $4,000 to Put the
Gunbont Into Condition

1t is not probable that the gunboat VI
king, formerly the yacht of that name will
be sent to Central American waters for
patrol duty, as was intended by the Navy
Department. a survey made OF the Viking
has shown that it will cost $4,000 to put
her in condition for that service Under
law of Congress naval vessels cannot D.
repaired when the expense of making the
repairs will amount TO more than 20 per
cent of the original cost. The Viking was
purchased on April 90, 1888. for $4,000, and
the estimate OF the cost of repairing her
is therefore greatly in excess of 20 per
cent of the purchase price. The Secretary
OF the Navy has referred to the Board on
Construction the question OF the advisa-
bility of putting her in condition. Should
the board decide that she should be re-
paired it will be necessary to secure the
authority of Congress to do the wo k
othe 'se she will be sold.
