WASHINGTON. u. G.. Dec. =
The annual report Of Secretary VII
son summarizes great amount
Of valuabie work done by the aKri-
cultural department during the past
year. He comments particularly on
the successful extension Of the
weather bureau service around the
Caribbean Sea. giving timely storm
warnings 10 the vessels Of the navy
and merchant marine.
The division Of entomology has
done valuable work this year In
showing fruit growers on the Pacific
coast the proper method Of fertiiiz-
ing Smyrna nks. II II believed that
in a few years the Pacific coast Will
be able 10 produce hs fine fiRH as are
imported from the Mediterranean.
The department has gathered such
Information regarding the plants
which supply india rubber and Euita
pcrcha, and expects, during the com
Ing year 10 locate In our island pos
sessions zones suitable for the cui-
ture Of these plants The United
states now imports about $40. 900. 900
worth Of rubber annually. and IL IL
thought that a large proportion Of
this supply can be raised In our
new island possessions. The same II
true Of Egyptian cotton, Of which
we import Ave million dollars worth
annually. while he thinks that too. o.
100000 worth Of tropical products
which We now import each year can
all be raised in Porto Rico. Hawaii

OBJECT TO PAYING DUTY.
Question Raised on American Goods
Shipped From Hong Kong TO Manila.

firm of Chinese merchants at Hong
Kong, through its attorneys. has submitted
to the War Department the question of the
validity of duty levied upon American goods
shipped from Hong Kong TO Manila. The
firm maintains the duty should not be paid;
first. because the expectation from Hong
Kong took place under assurances given by
the American consul general at Hong Kong
that the goods, being American, would so
far as known, be exempt from duty; second.
because the goods were American and no
DUTY should be charged for their admittance
10 any port under American control; and,
third, because from the date of the signing
OF the protocol August II, 1888. the occu-
patton OF the city, bay and harbor OF Ma
Mia became civil and not military, and no
power existed on the part of any official
of the United States to collect duties within
that territory.
The specific instance upon which the ques-
ton is raised was the shipment OF 150oO

GENERAL GOMEZ WISHES
TO VISIT MKINLEY
Anxious to Lay Before the President
His Views Regarding Best Form
Of Cuban Government.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2S.-A special to the
Press from Washington says: General
Maxine Gomez may come to Washing
ton. The suggestion has been made that
meeting between the president and
Genral Gomez would be of great benefit
to the situation in Cuba. General Gomez
wishes to come. His desire has been
communicated to a United States senator
who visited Cuba a year ago. The COM
munication was made to this senator in
the hope that there would be some way
OF bringing about the visit.
While Gomez wishes to come to Wash
lngton. he hesitates 10 start without
some assurances that he will be re-
ceived by the president and win be per-
mitted to give his views upon the policy
to be pursued in the island.
Senior Quesada, the head OF the Cuban
Organization in Washington, has started
for Havana. His destination, however,
is the interior OF the island. Further
than that Senior Quesada goes on an i'm
portant mission to Gomez. the Cubans
here will not say. but it is believed to be
in connection with the visit.
The work OF reconstruction in Cuba
is progressing we'll in the interior. The
only hindrance Is the dlsinclination Of
the Cuban troops to disband without
some pay. With these soldiers the word
OF Gomez will go farther than that OF
anybody else.

EAGAN FOUND GUILTY
BY THE CoURT-MARTIAL
Sentenced to Dismissal From the Army
But Recommendation Is Made for
Executive Clemency.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S. - General
Eagan, commissary general Of subsis-
tence, has been found guilty OF charges
Of conduct unbecoming an officer and
gentleman. and of conduct to the preju-
dice of good order and discipline, and
OF the specifications thereto, and has
been sentenced to dismissal from the
United States army. but with recon-
mendation from the court for the exer-
else of executive clemency.
Under the regulations the court, hav-
ing reached conclusion that the ac-
cused was guilty. had no choice in Sc
lecting the penalty, the regulations pre-
scribing absolutely that one punishment
dismlssal-for the offense. Therefore the
only hope for General Eagan is in the
direction Of commutation. mitigation or
dlsapproval. Colonel Davis, Judge advo-
cate of the court-martial, finished his
revision of the record of the courts pro-
ceedings this afternoon and at once
placed the papers in the hands of Secre-
tary Alger.
This action settled at once any doubt
that may have existed as to the routine
to be pursued In the treatment of the
case. AS for Secretary Alger as soon
as he has read the record he will place
It at once with the president who, under
tho law, Is the final reviewing authority
