SAN JUAN, MAY Is, 1901.
An Interesting Case.

Since the Inauguration OF Civil Govern
ment IN the Island the military power has
leen subordinate TO the civil, and even be-
fore whenever a colder committed an act
punishable by the civil laws, he was subject
TO be turned over to the InjuIar Courts for
tit.
The statute laws OF the United States and
the War Department Regulations provided
for such cases.
There has been every disposition on the
part Of the military establishment not only
t. comply with the Law but TO afford every
facility to the local courts in dealing 1oith
soldiers who have olfended.againSt the In
sular laws.
At the same time, the military authorities
must in such matters as in all others. con-
form to the statutory law. of the United
States and TO the Articles Of War.
Recently the District Court of Ponce,
through its Presiding Judge, requested the
Military Commander of Porto Rico to deliver
TO it certain soldier OF .he Porto Rican
Regiment, accused of ci3 ima.
The Commander responded that he was
perfectly wiling TO DO so, tand if th Court
would send an authorized tificer for htm, he
would be delivered up
Ibis the Court refused 10 do on the ground
that the accused man should be delivered al
Ponce. Under the law liz Military Com
manded was positively prof. from doing
this and said so.
The matter was referred to the Depart
ment Of Justice, but unfortunately Mr.. Har
an was away and the Assistant Attorney
General did not Lave COPY of the Revised
Statutts at hand, 50 tie tatter is still unde
cided.
We are advised howeveE that a solution
of the apparently yexed TrDblem will be re-
ached IN a ie'C days

RaihVa Tests For Color Blindness.
How an Engineer "Beat the
Examination.

"When we first instituted our tests for
color blindness said a northern railroad
surgeon who was recently in the city on
visit, "some curious things occurred at the
examinations. and in that connection l can
tell you rather an interesting little story. L
had given orders for the men to report at my
Office as they came in from their runs, and
one afternoon a big, jovial Irishman who
was one of our freight engineers put In an
appearance, accompanied by bis ten year
old daughter. The child seemed very shy
and timd, an while l was making the tests
clung tightly to her fathers hand. We
were nothing like as strict then as we are
now, and the examination was confined
principally to the primary colcrs; but l no
ticed q curious hesitation on the part OF
the engineer in answering some OF the
questions. "What's thesmattel" | asked;
aren't you sure1 I'm sure enough; he re-
piled, laughing, but | din't know whether
to say scarlet or plain red
He named all the colors correctly and l
gave him a certificate; but after he went
aacay l couldn't ged rid of lurking sus.
picion that somehow or other had been
fooled. Still, it seemed impossible, aud l
finally dismissed the idea as mere fancy
A month or so latel," the surgeon went
on, 81 happened to meet this same engl-
neer in the hall, and my old suspicious
returned with a rush. | called him to me
plled 'out pocketbooi of tints, and II
| less than fves minutes discovered that he
I had color blindness in the most pronuncet
form. Of course that meant his job, bu
promised to befriend him, and, under
little, pressure, he confessed he hall decel
we'd me originally. 1t seemet he had
son who was deaf mute, and all the IA
mily had become adopts at the sing Ian
guage. They could converse as readily
/ through the touch of the fingers as the,
could by sight.
''The engineer had discovered his visus
infirmity some days be ore the tues ant
was completely crushed. 1t was then tha
his bright.wtted little daughter came to hi
rescue and volunteered to go along and Civ
him the proper cues by sin talk The rus
worked, as you know, and but for my va
que suspicion he might have evaded detec
ton almost indefinitely. Pun glad to say
secured him another Job in department
where his color blindness was not bar

Queen Victoria and Divine Riglt

When the queen spoke of her subjects as
'loyap she meant it in the mediwval sense
The relation was not, in her eyes, volun
tary or sentimental, but Imperative Ii
she had been wicked or foolish woman
it would have been very sad; but the duty
of obedience would, in her idea, have been
the same. Subjects must be ''loyap; if
they loved their sovereign, so much the
better for them and for her, but affection
constantly peeped out; III the queen", 'my
sell, professionally, as the pivot round achlch
the whole machine of state revolves. This
sense, this perhaps even chimerlcal convic.
tion of her own indispensability, greatly
helped to keep her on her lofty plane of
daily untiring duty. And gradually she
hypnotized the public imagination, SO that
at last, in defiance of the theories OF hsto-
ric philosophers, the nation accepted the
queens view of her own functions and
tacitly concluded with her that she ruled, a
consecrated monarch, by right divine.

JaplD'S DBtruSt Of Russia.
Korea Looked Upon as Neces-
sary to Japanese Develop
ment.

A press despatch from Yokohama say
that since the backdown Of Russia, by which
her prestige in the Orient has suffered,
matters have resumed their normal course,
though Japan's distrust of the Northern
Power still remains in as full force as ever,
and the nations does not in the last relax
its vigilance in watching every move of the
MOscOvite.
Only those who haye long lived in Japan
can form any conception of the strength OF
the national sentiment regarding Korea.
The people have been taught for centuries
that the deStlnies Of the taco countries arc
iLdissClubly united, and the conviction of
this is not only ineradicable, but has become
par and parcel Of the patriotic enthusiasm
which is the nations life Moreover, the
tide of emigration has flowed in large vol.
ume to this peninsula, which is recognized
as the ony field, in view of the growing
restrictions upon the influx of Asiatics in the
West. Japan now bas population of 40,
100000, upon a surface less than that of
the Atlantic States of America, and, on ac-
count Of mountains, only one-twelfth of the
soil is arabic. Korea, therefore, will become
an absolute necessity in the near future, as
field for emigration, apart from the fact
that its possession by Russia would be
recognized IS menace to the Island
empire. 1t may therefore be readily imagin.
ed that the nations patience is liable at
any momen to be exhausted by Russians
diplomatic policy.
The official census OF foreigners In the dc.
partment late last month shows very large
increase in the American population, as also
in the German contingent, plainly indicat
ing that the British preponderance in the
forcing business Of the country will soon be.
come thing Of the past.
