Mr.. J. T. Canales,

2 November. 1885. and judgment
from the information contained in
the newspaper clipping which you
attached. as well as the statements
subscribed to BY the various sigma
tories relative 70 the heroic action
Of one Jesus Hernandez. it would
appear that he is an especially deSir-
able applicant for enlistment in the

Unfortunately, due to the neces-
sity of suspending all original enlist
ments for an indefinite period due
to the curtailment OF appropria-
tions. II Is not possible 10 authorize
his enlistment at the present time.
I am sure you will appreciate that
nc exceptions can be made due 70
the foregoing situation.
However, IL Is suggested that YOU
advise Mr.. Hernandez that he viii
be considered for enlistment az such
time that recruiting is resumed
Meanwhile, it is suggested that he
communicate with the Commander
Eighth Coast Guard District, Gal
weston. Texas. and also the officer
in charge Of the BrazoS Coast Guard
Station. Port Isabel, Texas. who viii
place his name on file and advise
him when recruiting has been re-
sumed. These officers are being &C
quainted with the facts In the case
Of Hernandez this date. and I wish
TO assure you that every considera-
ton will be given in his case.
There. Is incloSed herewith a
copy of a pamphlet entitled "Infor-

promotion in the United States
