Gossip Over the Rule Prohibiting Officers | A New Electric Railway in Prospect—Other | W; From Doing Newspaper Work. Naval officers are having considerable gossip | Correspondence o? The Evening Star. over the now rule by which they are prohibited from corresponding with newspapers, Itsen- forcement will greatly reduce the revenues of many of the younger officers who have fre- | quently added to their limited income by news- paper work. Some years ago one New York paper had» correspondent (in the person of an officer or | municipal election, when those of that politi- seaman) with each squadron in the navy, and | special arrangements for telegraphic news were | made whenever a vessel went toa distant port on especial mission. This was always the case where vessels were sent to countries to enforce ademand for reparation for a proved offense against the national honor. and also when ves- sels were sent to protect American interests in countries where revolutions were imminent or in progress. DUBING THE CHILE DIFFICULTY. troubles in Valparaiso and Santiago were fur- nished by an officer attached to one of the war | ships then in Chilean waters. He proved an| able correspondent, and enabled the paper he | represented to “scoop” all its contemporaries on several events of great national importance. When his comsan‘ling officer learned what was going on he was very much incensed. He re- S ft as highly improper that an officer of , United States shonid engaged in euch work, especialiy at «tims when the relations between the United States and Chile were strained almost to a point of open rupture. | As a measure of discipline the offending | officer was summarily detached froia duty with the deet and sent bome in disgrace. The news- | paper thus lost the services of an exceliest correspondent “‘on the spot” and was compelled to make other arrangementa. It is understood that the naval journalist was liberally compen- sated by the paper asa balm to bis wounded spirit. i It is understood that this incitent was the | main cause of the new ragtiation enjoining officers against corressondir.; +h newspapers | on “official matters.” As construed by some the new rale applies oaly to war relations with other countries and strict oficial duties, and 18 | not intended to circumseribo the privilege of | writing articles for the press t the navy in | general, and tales of travel couvaining no com- promising comme: Asan example of the value some officers put on their services as correspondent, a good story | is toid of ap oMicer attached to Admiral Gher- ardi’s flagship Philade!pa: It happened last fall while the vessel was at New York preparing to go to Port Roval, & C., with the naval board appointed to witness the’ test of the dynamite guns of the Vesuvius. Considerable interest was attached to the trial and all the leading stranged to have full reports of each 'e proceedings. The proprietor of one of | the papers thought it wou'1 be a good plan to | getareport from a naval expert. He heard ‘that an officer on the Philadelphia would under- take the job, so he went to see him. HIS PRICE WAS Too WiGH. The news mar said he would like to have about a thousand words # day as the trial pro- gressed, and the “lieutenant” offered to furnish | it, remarking incidentally that he would expect 3150 a day for bis work. Wouldn't he do it for less than that? No, be wouldn't think of taking less. It is almes. neediess to say he was not | engaged. He was @ fancy artist and came a little too bigh. nae eS Some Pertinent Assertions as to Substitutes. ‘To the Editor of The Evenins Star: Replying to ex-substitute’s criticisms of my letter anent “subs” as clerks, I beg to say, frst of all, thet I diselaim any intention of | criticising Secretary Carlisie. My purpose was solely directed toward the preservation intact of ‘the civil service law and its principles. Ex-sub asks if I “know that substitutes are certified in| the same manner exactly as the regular No, Mr. or . I do not; neither do you, nor ody else, for it is not true.” I cited | @ case In point in my letter wherein I asserted that I knew a la ub who did not take the civil service examination until aftey she had served four months as a sub. While there are, | no doubt, plenty of other similar cases one case is enough fora precedent. I make the following declarations and chalienge their refutation: | 1. Having passed a civil service examination | fe not a prerequisite to appointment as « sub- | stitute clerk. ° | 2 Anybodr tha the necessary influence might be so app | & The civil se commission does not | certify pezsons for substitute clerks. | 4 A substitute clork is to all intents a mere | @ummy, so far a: the office is concerned. 5. They are not borne on the rolls. 6 They do not sign the pay rolls, only a memorandum receipt for their share to the disbursing officer for his protection as against the principal, the latter signing the receipt of | record for the whole amount. | 7. If the eivil service commission complies with the request of Secretary Carlisls it is a practical suspension of the regular civil sere eligible list until a favored few are provided for, to the sacrifice of the rights of those other ‘on said list and who passed long prior tothe “sub” who isappointed in advance of them. 8. Is not thet a violation of the spirit, if not letter, of the law? Venrras. ase ‘The Market Sweeping Controversy.

There is nothing in the writ- ings of Smith to indicate that his exploration of the river had been continued to the vicinity of the first or Little Falls, He makes no men- tion of this absolute barrier to farther naviga- tion; it is, in fact, apparent from bis map that this portion of the river was laid down upon it from narration and not from actual explora- jon. It seems also to be historically demonstrable that he bad been preceded many years before by the Spaniards, who had sailed up the river at least as faras what wo now knowas Occoquan and thet to the river they had given the name of Espiritu Santo. It is an interesting story as gleaned from the Spanish archives by Buck- ingham Smith and narated by Shea, the Catholic historian. A tall, well-formed brave, the brother of a native chieftan, who was the ruler of Axacan, upon the occassion of a visit to the river by’ Spanish vesscl was persuaded by the Spaniards to accompany them upon their return to Mexico, which at that time had been conquered and was under the government of the viceroy, Don Luis de Velasco. The Indian from the shores of the Potomac u his arrival at the City of Mexico was taken under the viceroy’s Patronage and vas solemnly and with great pomp baptized in the cathedral He took the name of his patron, was educated in the Spanish language and in- structed in the Christian religion and in course of time was sent to Spain, where he spent several years, EARLY MISSIONARY EFFORTS. In 1566 the famous Spanish admiral, Pedro Melendez, dispatched o vessel bearing thirty soldiers and two Dominican fathers to establish astation at Axacan. This party having no taste for @ laborious mission and becoming alarmed over anticipated rs forced the captain to return to Spain. Then the Jesuits resolved to embark in the enierprise which had been abandoned by the Dominicans and four years later Father Segura, vico provincial. ac- companied by some younger members of the society, set eail for Axacan, at which they ar- rived September 10, 1570. The Indian, Luis de Velasco, at this time well advanced in years and aman grave and intelligent, thoroughly con- yersant with Spanish, affairs and to all appear- ancesasincere Christian and friend of the Spaniards, had volunteered to accompany the missionaries and made every promise as to the security of their persons. It was thought that with the presence, active interest and support of Luis no guards would be needed, and as soldiers would be a detri- ment to the miseion the missionaries deter- miued to trust themselves entirely in the hands of the Indi For atime after their arrival Luis remained with them, but being once more upon his native heath his original nature reas serted itself; his old nomadic instincts and habits returned; the veneer of his Christian civilization proved to be but thin and easily effaced; be “became Indian with the Indians, rather than Spanish with the Spaniards,” and he finailv abandoned the missionaries alto- gether. The latter being reduced to great straits for food during the winter three of their number were seat to make a last appeal to Luis for assistance. He made many excuses for his absence and sought to beguile them with promises. As they were departing sadly from the Indian village, convinced of his in- sincerity, they were attacked and alain and their bodies horribly mutilated by the savages. Four days after this Luis, arrayed in the gown of one of the murdered ‘priests, and attended by his brother and a war party, armed with clubs and bows, appeared before the quarters of the survivors, who knelt before their rude aitar and calmly awaited their fate. Ata sig- ual from Luis they were massacred. In the spring a vessel bearing supplies for the missionaries anchored off Axacan, The Indians songht to lure on shore those on board by pointing to men arrayed in the garb of the missionaries standing @ short distance away, bus treachery was suspected from the fact that these did not approach nearer and join in the | demonstrations of welcome. The Spaniards weighed anchor and sailed away, taking with | thein two of the Indians whom they had seized, aud from whom the fate of the missionaries was learned. THE SPANIARD'S VENGEANCE. Melendez, having heard tho report, sailed at once for the Bay of St. Mary's, as the Chesa- peake was calied by his countrymen, for the Purpose of chastising the murderers. He ran up the Espirita Sanio or Potomac and landed with » band of armed men, unfurled the flag of Spain and pursued and captured many of the Indians, To them he announced that be would not harm tho innocent, and demanded that Luis be delivered up, but that fiend had fled to the mountains. Eight others who had been coneerned in the killing were sent by Melendez ‘on board his vessel and hung at the yard arm. “After this summary piece of justice,” say Shea, “the founder of St, Angustine, with his mati-clad force, embarked, and the’ Spanish flag fe Asagan.” He adds: "So ends tho history of the first settlement of white men on the soil of Virginia. ‘Tho walls of the Capitol at Washing ton might well be adorned with a painting of » scene waich ocurred almost in sigt of its dome—the founder of St. Augustine, the butcher of Ribault, the chosen commander of the Invinetble Armada, as he stocd sarrounded by his grim warriors, planting the standard of Spain on the banks of the Potomac.” SUPPOSED TO BE OccoQUAN. Mr, Shea states that no map or document ex- ists by which the precise location of Axacan is shown, but he advances several reasons in favor of the theory that 1t was at Occoquan, the prin- cipakone of which is the resemblance of tho latter name to the Spanish Axacan. In addition to the reasons given by him there are others which tend to establish almost conclasively the correctness of his theory as to the location. ‘The grammarians inform us that the tetter “4” in the Spanish bas alwayg a guttural sound, luke the English “h,” strongly aspirated, and like the guttural sound of “ch” in the German words “nacht” and “nicht;” and that the letter “x” in the old Spanish had two very different ounds: the one exactly the same asthe Spanish and the other that of the English in “tax.” Thus, though in Spanish “Mejico” is the common spelling of “Mexico” and “Tejas’ that of “Texas,” the proaunciation would be the same if the words were spelled either way. if wo apply the rales to Axacan have “Ajacan,” which makes such a close approach to Occoquan as to be almost identical in sound. Furthermore, Occoquan appears to be a cor- ruption in a slight decree of Achaquin, in which latter name we easily recognize the Spanish Ajecan. Ihave in my possession a map show- ing the Potomao river and ite tributary streams, prepared by Moll, a London geogr ani although it bears no date there is reason to be- lieve that it made its appearance during the first half of thelast century. Upon this map the name of Occoquan, as we spell it now, does not appear, but a stream is located upon it, rela- ively about where Occoquan should be, stream bears the name of “‘Achaquin.” ee THE NEW FRENCH CABINET.
