Ce) + Opinion $£ Judge Advocate General x Lemly Sustains the Method Adopt- ed by the Department. a ]: Acting on the advice of Judge Advocate General Lemly, the Secretary of the Navy has disapproved the plan advocated by Commander Crowninshield, chief of the bu- reau of navigation, for the advancement of officers who hhve rendered eminent and conspicuous services in battle. The opin- fon given by the Judge advocate general sustains the action taken by the Navy Da- partment in the matter of the promotion of Admirals Schley and Sampson and the other officers concerned in the destruction of Cervera’s fleet off Santiago, and repre- sents the policy of the department in other cases of the same character still under consideration. ‘The question is one of para- mount interest to all naval officers, and has been the subject of considerable con- troversy in naval circles. The case ts fully stated in the opinion of the judge acvo- cate general in his opinion, as follows: “Section 1506 of the Revised Statutes au- thorizes advancements, not to exceed thirty numbers, ‘for eminent and conspic~ uous conduct in battle or extraordinary heroism,’ and section 1507 provides that if any officer so advanced is thereby thrown into a higher grade, he ‘shall be promoted, notwithstanding the number of said grade may be full.’ “Two distinct methods of procedure un- der these provisions of law are discussed in the bureau’s memorandum. The first is that of making advancements simulta- reous!y. Under this method, when a num- ber of officers are to be promoted for con- spicuous services, the promotions are all made at once, without otherwise disturb- ing the navy list. No officers are promoted from a lower to a higher grade: any en- largement of such grade beyond the statu- tory limit which may thereby be brought about is fully covered by the special pro- ion of section 1507, above quoted. This method of making advancements simulta- neously appears to be the simple and nat- ural method, and was the one actually em- ployed when the recent advancements tor services before Santiago were made. No specific objection to this method is now urged, except that its application might result in giving t oflicers the same num- ber—a difficulty easily provided against by care, whi h should, of course, always be exercised, in apportioning such rewards. The Bureau Method. “The second method, that now brought to attention by the bureau, proposes the making of advancements in the order of niority, and only one at a time. The rule thus laid down in the bureau's memo- randum: “‘In making advancements the senior officer to be advanced should first take his new place, and consequently his new num- ber, and all other officers affected by the advancement should take their new places and numbers, respectively. If the officer S0 advanced goes from one grade to an- other the promotion necessary to fill the vacancy should be made in the regular cou t the next senior to be ad- vanced b mi other officers take their, new, place so on thrdugh ¥he list.’ “While pon first exa nination this er method sons Proper, is latt again let al! tfe and numbers, and sto be a fatal obje pss ee the bureau jorandum, as follows: ‘This File fA the cases of officers re- cently edvanced would work out a condi- tion which is probably not anticipated, {.c., the promotion of Captain Picking, as’ well ‘aptaby Higginson, to commodore.’ Phe premotion of Captain Picking re- sults net only in placing him upon. the list of commudores, but in advancing eve otficer beléw httn one nural This is a result not intended or anticinated, and not contemplated by-tm law which stands b hind the transaetion, since the officers thu affected are tot advanced for “eminent and conspicuous conduct in battle or e ordin roism,’ but merely as an a lent or incident of the peculiar method Moreover, r advancement st of eleven commodor Captain “acing standing as No. 11 on t How can his presence there be ler sections 1506. an rion is made for ¢ 0° s conduct? tion to the schgme i itself, in its me cic advocated. results in promoted accore cing them one ancements—that Sampson—it will b a nt the commodor t will consist of nine officers on Howe by law the bureau argues t genera! provisions governing ». begin to operate, 1 on th to commoc No. cording bringing the nur ber in that grade up to ten’ ‘The fill ne of the grad in this reguiar man- doesn ling to the proposed E under the sveciai authority contained section 150%, and Captain Higginson vanced to that £ Captain (in the case Picking. supposed commodore) An Intricate “This proc vekes in the firs the thority conferred by sections making promotions for eminent spicuous services and makes one advance- ment thereunder. It appears to contem- plate a stop after each advancement, and if at any time in the process a state of affairs is brought about upon which the ordinary rules of promotion wili operate, such rules are invoked to make one ¢ more promotions, after whick the special advancements are resumed. If many spe- cial promotions are to be made, the result Process, ate and jal au- for and con- in- nee will be, incidentally, the advancement of a number of officers whose promotion was not intended, which will operate in some to unnecessarily enlarge — certain beyond the lMmits prescribed by law. In the very instance under consid- ion the result of the method proposed would be to place all officers upon the lst of commodores, whereas by the simple and natural method which was < y adopt- ed the statutory limit of ten commodores was not exceeded. “Where two practical methods are open to the department, one of whic sult In overstepping statutory r while the other will not, it would seem quite clear that the department would giv preference to the latter. From the fore going considerations I am of opinion that the method suggested by the bureau of navigation is not sanctioncd by law. lf, however, @oubttis entertained in the mat- ter it woutd seem that upon so important a question’ the pinion of the highest legal authority, ‘that of the Attorney General, should be/obtained.’ — FILIPINOS FAVOR AUTONOMY. ConsiderableDistrust of the Ameri- cans “Shown by the Natives. A recent dispatch from Manila says: Pop- ular opinion favors autonomy, which, it is generally @xpegted will be established. The people rather distrust the Americans, who, beginning to realize this fact, sent the cruiser Raleigh: to the northwestern ports for the purposé of showing the American flag and thaking friends with the natives. The cruisér’s Qfficers tried to arrange an interchange of hospitality, but the natives at first were unwilling to visit the ship un- less hostages were landed. Finally friendly feeling was established, and the natives were agreeably surprised at the American attitude. ‘A provinetal governor declined to allow an American officer to inspect the Dagu- pan prisons and secure their plans without Aguinaldo’s sanction. The half-caste in- terpreter used threats, and consequently Aguinaldo instructed his troops at the raid road stations beyond Malolos not to allow any Americans to. pass.

The members and guests made an inspection of the farm and were highly gratified. by numerous springs in the rear of the dwelling and having a capacity of 50,000 ly was one of the attractions. rom this lake the town of Laurel will se- cure its water supply. The water will be pumped to an elevation of 170 feet and will thence be conveyed by gravity to Laurel, about two mile ant. After a bountiful repast, Mrs. Brashears, the regular meeting of the club was held, presidea over by Col. W. 5S. powell, with D. M, Nesbit secretary. A committee, composed of Messrs. sey and Patterson, made a report of the host's farm. A communication relative to the holding of a farme! institute in Prince George's county was received, and a com- mittee, composed of the chairman and Messrs. Brashears and Snowden, was ap- pointed to consider the matter at next meeting. A decided preference for the place of convention was expressed for aurel, and Colonel Powell stated that in- jcements would be offer t Laurel to the department of Farmers’ Institute. Professor Robinson, state horticulturist, spoke of the peach-growing industry from a commercial standpoint, and Professor Johnson referred to the disease of the fruit trees and the physiology of plants, which he characterized as a recent, study Prof. D. D. Warfield, at one time pres!- dent of the Maryland Agricultural College, and one of the charter members of the Vansville Club, eulogized the organization as a factor in advancing agricultural: inter- s of this section. “The meeting adjourned to meet at the residence of Mr. L. D. Cassard, at Muir- kirk, October 20. Professors Johnson and Townsend, entomologist and pathologist, respective returned from Washington county Satur- day evening, having completed their work of nursery inspection in the state. During their investigations, covering a period of two months, over 140,000 fruit trees affect- ed with yellow and other diseases hav been condemned. Professor Johnson states that the orchards in every section are much improved. Prof. E. Dwight Sanderson is now in Washington county and will join Professor Johnson and Townsend the latter part o the week for a visit to Harford county. On Monday next the scientists will have for their guests several German represen- tatives, who will be shown one of the largest fumigating houses in this country, located near Bowle, in southern Maryland. Near Bowie ts also located one of the largest orchards in the state, condemned by reason of the presence of the San Jose scale. The Maryland scientists will dem- onstrate to the foreigners that no danger exists in importing this scale in fruit from this country. The law in Germany pe vents the shipping of fruit, either drie fresh, from the United States, and one of the objects of the visit of the German rep- resentatives is to collect data upon which to base arguments for the repeal of this law. Owing to the large increase of pupils at the public school here, the county school trustees Saturday authorized the appoim- ment of an additional teacher. The new assistant will be assigned to the upper story rooms, and a readjustment of the work will take place.

Old Glory to Wave Over Morro With- in Three Week A special dispateh to the New York Her- ald yesterday from Havana says: Though it 1s a hazardous venture to make predic- tions in the face of Spanish procrastina- tion, it may reasonably be predicted that the American flag will be flying over Morro and Cabanas fortresses within three weeks. There are & number of reasons why the American evacuation commissioners wish to see the occupation begin as soon as pos- sible. Among them are the following: First.—They belleve the presence of American land forces and warships the best kind of diplomacy to hasten negotia- tions. Second.—The presence of American sol- out. Third.—Prompt action would facilitate the distribution of relief supplies and pre- vent the further aggravation of the armed and hungry Cubans, who are confined to their camps. Fourth.—It would enable reconcentrados strong enough to work, but now prevented from doing so, to find self-sustaining em- ployment, while making possible the dis- diers would tend to crowd the Spaniards | prerieieces for 'Telescop e Cases.
