United States officials say
this is not an American war

American backing.
Number Is Secret
The number of United States

technically as military secret.
But certain general facts about
disposition of the United States
groups have been disclosed.

personnel comprise the main
group, probably 5000 1900

Discusses Vicorp and
Published Report

There has been recently releas-
ed by the Governors office in St.
Thomas, on behalf of the Vicorp
Board of Directors, some statisti-
cal information apparently for the
purpose of informing the public
why it has become necessary to
announce the discontinuance of
operation of the sugar mill within
about six months.
Two exhibits r given showing
an arbitrary breakdown of sugar
cane production according to class
of growers. The producers, or grow
ers, are classified as: Vicorp, Large
FILA, and the 40 other growers,
This is done arbitrarily for 1857,
which is the last profitable year
according to Vicorp bookkeeping
methods. It was also done for the
1862 crop; information for fiscal
1862 has apparently not been pub
lished or released. The audit re-
ports of the Comptroller General
Of the Virgin Islands Corporation
are available up to and including
the 1861 fiscal year. A main thesis
of this statistical information and
comparison point out that some
individual growers are planting
larger acreage and growing more
sugar. The so-called Other grow
ers averaged 4.3 acres each in 1857
and averaged 4.8 acres each in
1852. This could indicate that some
growers on, say 2 acres or less, dis
continued growing cane for vi
corp and perhaps some others in
creased the acreage.

Owner In st. Croix

Believe it or not, the "Pasangy-

owned by Erik Lawaetz broke
away from its mooring in ST.
Maarten, French West Indies, on
October 9th. The United States
Coast Guard was notified. Six days
after a guest at the Hotel st. Croix
by the Sea, owned by Mr.. Lawaetz
saw a boat on the horizon heading
in; the Coast Guard was again
called and the Harbormaster for
st. Croix was notified.
The current carried the boat
down towards Judith's Fancy
where it was taken in tow.
No one was aboard and every
thing, sails and all, were in good

Mr.. Lawaetz admitted that he
would never think of sailing in the
