decision made in March, 1900, that service
as cadet at the Military Academy may be
counted in computing the length of service

ing any soldier who had been a cadet at
the Military Academy and who was recon-
mended for discharge for deficiency claim
to an appointment as second lieutenant in
advance Of the date of the graduation of
the class to which he belongs. In other
words, no person who has been a cadet at
the Military Academy is to be deemed un-
der any circumstances entitled to receive
a commission in advance of the graduation
of his class. Under the act of Congress
approved March 2, 1901, no soldier who has
been expelled from the Military Academy
for hazing will be commissioned until two
years after the graduation of the class of

Early Prospect of Free

1t our news columns to-day We print a
statement containing information which baS
been given out emi officially, TO the effect
that aCithin a few days Dr. J. IL Hollander,
the Treasurer Of the lslani, and the author
of he IIollander Bill. vii submit a report
to the Governor OF Porto Rico TO the effect
that the operations Of tlS revenue act 10
date indicate that it ,rll supply ample re-
venue for the support Of the lnSular Gov
ernment This being the case the Governor
will d ubtless feel it his duty TO secure from

a resolution, such as IS rn'emrla!ed IL
Section of tie Foraker Act, that an
adequate system of insular taXaiion las been
put IN operation. On notification Of such
action by the Legislatul' Assembly the
Presid Mt of the United States VIII issue a
proclamation declaring free trade between
Porto REQ and the United States.
This matter is of such Importance thai
Governor Allen viii doubtless convene tie
Legislature in exua session fer the porpoSe
of passing Tie necessary resolution.
Free trade viii uudoubt IDLY give a great
impetus TO the Industries II tins Island. and
especially TO the sugar and tobacco pToduc-
ing industries. Porto Rlcan sugar and
tohaeco will then have entrance TO The
markets # the United States with the
advantage over all other augar and tobacco
producing countries ef no, having any Gust
oms cuues to pay. This Will really be
equivalent to bounty to the amount Of the
duty.
The great benefit which will result to
the Island from the contemplated action can
hardly be overestimated
