PORTO RICO OFFICE SEEKERS
Enquiries rs TO Applications for
Civil Service Positions.

The Civil Service Commission has re-
Gently received many letters from Porto
Ricans asking where civil service exam
nations will be held for appointment in
the customs service. the internal revenue
service. and the postal service in Porto
Rico.
The entrance into the civil service in
Porto Rico is now made by transfer of
clerks in the departments here and by
temporary appointment. The delay on
the part of the Civil Service Commission
ers in ordering the examination for Porto
Rico is due, 1t was stated yesterday, to
the desire on the part of the Commission
not to anticipate the decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the Porto
Rican cases.
Under the rules of the Civil Service
Commission no one but a citizen of the
United States can be examined for APP
pointment under civil service. and the
Civil Service Commissioners do not care
to affirm or deny that the Porto Ricans
are citizens OF the United States.
In the meantime. however, appoint
ments in the civil service OF Porto Rico
win continue to be made by transfer,
The President, 1t was said this after
noon could do with the Porto Ricans as
he has done with the Filipinos suspend
the question of citizenship and allow them
to take the civil service examination. IL
is believed, however, that MIR. Mckinney
will not issue any such order at TINS time
for he would not care to place himseif III
the position of anticipating the decision
of the Supreme Court in the Porto Rlcan
cases. as the decision of the court Will, 1t
is understood, settle the question OF
citizenship.

HOLDS ITS SECOND MEETING.
Spanish Treaty Claims Commission
Discusses Rules.

The Spanish Treaty Claims Commission
met Yesterday for the second time, In the
law Office OF one of its members, Judge
Maury. on Pennsylvania Avenue, near
Fifteenth Street All of the members
were present The Commission was again
in executive session. and 1t is probable
that most of the future meetings will be
held behind closed doors.
The formulation of rules for the receiv-
ing and consideration of claims growing
out of the SDanish-American war was
again under discussion. No final action
was taken toward adopting such rules,
but the discussion materially aided the
final solution of the problem. In view Of
the fact that there are many claims now
awaiting the formulation of such rules
for presentation to the consideration of
the Commission. and as the claimants and
their attorneys are entirely dependent
upon the rules for their guidance in pre-
senting claims the Commission has been
urged to hasten this part of its work.
The Commissioners realize the impor-
lance and with as much haste as proper
elaboration will permit, will formulate
the rules.
1t viii be some time before the offices
of the Commission in the building 1411 II
Street will be ready for occupancy, and
in the meantime the Commission will
meet at such places as may be found
available.

BUYING ANTIQUE FIREARMS.
How Surrendering FiIipinOs Dispose
of Superannuated Weapons.

The official reports from the Philippines
of the surrender of bands Of insurgents
are said at the War Department to have
a single peculiar feature. 1t is that, in
proportion to the number of men who
come in and promise to fight no more, the
enumeration of weapons is ridculously
small.
1t is said by some officials that II would
appear on its face as if the Filipinos re-
gard war wholesale boxing match
and prepared accordingly. However de-
ceitful appearances may be, it has been
learned at the War Department that the
Filipinos are doing a thriving business in
obsolete firearms. Uncle Sans represen-
tatives pay $50 to each reconciled insur-
gent whos surrenders a gun along with
himself, and the Filipino is not overlook
ing the business opportunity.
He gives up a weapon of the manufac-
ture of 1860 worth perhaps. sentiment in
cluded 81 or IS. and receives $50. The
valuable weapons. however, are retained
for future use
The supply of such superannuated mus
kets, unfortunately for the Tagalo. is
not equal to the demand China and the
South Seas have been laid under stress
and the surrender shall have ended. the
United States it is declared, will have the
most complete assortment of antique fire
arms in the world beginning with the
earliest Chinese cannon and ending with
Mausers thrown out of service five or
six years ago.
While this is true of the weapons sur
rendered the quality of the ammunition
and arms shipped in by the filibustering
expeditions is of the best. Two boats,
recently wrecked in Manila Bay. were
found to be loaded with dynamite and the
latest make of cartridges. These were
consigned to the rebels. How many boats
were more fortunate in delivering the
goods is not known at the Department,
but it is feared that they were many.
