The board of survey on the U. 8. S. At- lanta has reported to the Navy Depart- ment that that vessel requires repairs to her hull and machinery, and that it will take about six months to make her ready for commission. The board found her decks in bad condition, and recommend that new ones replace those which have done duty since the ship was built. Other parts of her hull also require attention, and alto- gether the repairs necessary will amount to fully $60,000. Her engines have had little alteration or work done on them for some time, and they, too, will have to be over- hauled. “To put them in ‘thorough’ repelr will necessitate expending $25,000 more, so that by the time the vessel is completed she will represent fully $100,000 worth of new work done on her at the yard. The Atlanta, which ts one of the Roach cruisers, has proved a most excellent ves- sel. She has been in constant active ser- vice, in all waters, and under all condi- tions, with little repairs, since she went in commission nine years ago. This explains her bad condition at present. A discovery made by the board of survey is that the Atlanta has a list to starboard of about six degrees. How this happens the board is not able to state. ———___-e-______ Woods & Co.

A GREAT NUISANCE|MATAAFA SURRENDERS./C] EVEL AND That the Health Officer Says Must Be Abated. THE SANITARY INSPECTORS REPORT, An Unhealthful Condition of Things Found by Them. DR. HAMMETT’S LETTER. ——— Health Officer Hammett is determined to do away with the nutsance that arises from the guano factory on the Maryland bank of the river just below Giesboro’. This Place has been complained of for a long time by everybody who has had occasion to travel up and down the river. The smells are unbearable. Dr. Hammett said to @ Star reporter this morning that the place must go or else they must so modify their system as to make it entirely unob- Jectionable. He intends to serve the company that has the place with a ten days’ notice to quit or abate the nuisance. In default of action on their part he intends to have the offenders in the Police Court, as he would any one who maintains a public nuisance. He will have them there from day to day until matters are remedied. The Commissioners are back of him in his efforts, as they have gotten tired beyond all endurance of the complaints that the Place has drawn forth. The factory uses the dead bodies of the larger animals and it Is said that every portion is utilized in some way, so that there is a profit of about $8 on every carcass, The contractor for the Femoval of the dead bodies of animals has general charge of such work, but the own- er of the guano factory, Patrick Mann, makes the practice of purchasing the bodi for about a dollar apiece. This is possib for the dead body is the property of t owner of the animal until it becomes nuisance. For some time past Health Officer Ham- mett has been engaged in making an in- vestigation of this place and has had a couple of sanitary inspectors at work upon the case. They have made a thorough ex- amination of the place and its methods and this morning Dr. Hammett submitted their report to the Commissioners. It is upon this report that he intends to base his prosecution of the owner of the piace. The Inspectors’ Report. ‘The report made by Inspectors Hughes and Shepherd is as follows: We have the honor to present the follow- ing special report relative to the collec- tion and disposal of dead animals in the District of Columbia: We would call your attention first to the careless and unsanitary way in which dead horses and cattle are collected and transported through the city, ‘The wagons used for that purpose instead of being air tight and odorless, as required by law, are furnished with a simple open box bed ‘with loose canvas top which, though (partially hiding the from view, fords no rotection from the sickening Sior ofiee decomnesine x a crowded st ‘wettled por- tions of the capital city. Second. The place of deposit and the man- corer Bandling the remains prior to the ipment to ctory also demands at- tention and nd the adoption of other and more sanitary e place for collection the ei South Capitol street, of which we have made several in- spectlons, to wit: July 17, 1893, we found two horses on scow ai exposed to hot sun, one much swollen and odorous; also an accumulation of bones partially covered by putrid flesh and giving off an offensive stench. July 23 we discovered five dead horses on a scow basking in hot sun, swollen and odorous. July 24 five dead horses on boat, greatly swollen and decom- posing. Third. The carcasses of the animals, after being loaded upon the scow, exposed perhaps for hours to open air and heat, and giving off an intolerable stench, arc towed down the river along the track and in full view of constantly passing ferry- boats and steamers, crowded with men, women and children, to a point about four miles from the city below Giesboro. At that place there is a dilapidated, partially brick and frame structure. In ‘the. brick portion the bollers are located. while the me is intended for the machinery which consists of two fron vats with an outlet of about twelve inches. Into these recep: tacles the carcasses, after being skinned and cut to pleces, are put and subjected for hours to the action of the steam. The mac chinery 1s not calculated for the work and is so constructed that in the process of rendering the dead animals the noxious gases emitted are disseminated for miles The ‘kinni id cuttt e skinning and cutting up process 1s done in a rough shed on the wharf, the blood and offal emptying into ‘the water and settling along the of 100 feet. The bank has become ro thor= ougly saturated with these impurities, sub. jected as they are to the constun: action of the sun and atm here, as to grea: ag- the already existing nuisance. At this point, and within a dis. tance of 300 feet, steamers ire constantly passing, the passengers being in sight of the disgusting work and subjected to the Inhalation of the poisonous gases eruitted. ‘The neighborhood to the distance of more than a mile Is affected by it, union inquiry among the residents we were informed that the odor is unbearable, Neel necessary at times to close windows and doors to es. cape from the polluted smelt. is place is not only an eyesore and of- fense to the general public, but a pesti- lence-breeding spot and a standing menace to health. Its close proximity to the city and contact with river travel makes the situation most serious. We therefore re. commend that immediate steps be taken to abate the nuisance. Gigned) W. D. HUGH D., THOMAS M. SHEFHERD; Sanitary Inspectors. The Health Officer's Letter. Health Officer Hammett today sent to Mr. Mann, proprietor of the works, the fol- lowin, “There is a nuisance on your Premises, foot of South Capitol street, and on river front south of Giestoro’, 3.

You are hereby fequirad to cause the said nuisance to be abated within ten days after date of service of hia notice, otherwise you will be procemied against, agreeably to law, and the healch ordinances of the District of Columbia In such cases made and provided.” —__ SECRETARY HERBERT RETURNS. Many Recommendations Will Rewult From His Tour of Inspection. Secretary Herbert returned to Washing- yes- terday afternoon, after a three week: cruise of inspection of the navy yards and stations along the coast of New England. He sald that he enjoyed the trip very much and felt that his experience would be of advantage to him in the performance of his official duties. He said that he would have some recommendations to make to the President in his annual report as a result Of the visit, but did not care to reveal them at this time. The Hath Iron Works were visifed, and there the secretary saw in the course of construction an fron ship, made of gaterial imported from England’ under “t@provi- sions of the law which authorizes ditty tree of material for shipbuilding. This was the first instance to his knowledge of the butlding of a ship in this country with such materjal. Secretary Herbert said that the gunboat Machias, built at the Bath works, was one of +t} jost_useful and best fitted of the navye“Her sister ship, the Castine, was now nearing completion there, and would soon be ready for her trial trip. Both of these gunboats, he said, reflected great credit upon their builders. The Ammen ram, at th The War in Samoa is Over and the Rev- olution Orushed. The Rebel Chiet Held Prisoner on a Foreign Vessel—His Life Savea— Philadelphia May Not Go. The surrender of Mataafa and the close of the war of the insurrection in Samoa were officially communicated to Secretary Gresham today. The news came in the form of @ brief telegram from United States Vice Consul Blakelock. It was dated Apia, July 19, and was telegraphed from San Francisco yesterday evening. So much: of it as was made public reads as follows: “Mataafa and his chiefs have surren- dered and are now prisoners on board of British and German warships. The war is virtually over. Mataafa’s life was guaran- teed before he surrendered.” It is understood that the consul also re- ported his own course in the matter, and that he co-operated with the representatives of Great Britain and Germany in their ef- forts to put down the revolution and pre- serve the autonomy of the Samoan kingdom under Malietoa, the recognized ruler, This country has no warship anywhere Rear Samoa at present, but the U. 5. 5.

Owing to an interrupted cable service, or from some other cause, nothing has ‘been heard from that ship since July 9, when her comman- der reported her arrival at Rio de Janeiro. Her orders were to coal there and proceed to Valparaiso and await further instruc- tions. When news came of the troubles in Samoa it was decided to intercept the Phila delphia at the Chilean port and haye her Proceed immediately to Samoa. ‘The changed condition of affairs may result in a change of these plans.

Promotions, Dismissals and Reduc- tons Have Been Numerous of Late. There have been many clerical changes in the second auditor's office of the Treasury Department during the past week, amount- ing almost to a complete reorganization of the force. There were promotions, reduc- tions und dismissals. Among the latter was Capt. Cobaugh, formerly captain of the treasury watch. An effort is being made to secure his reinstatement with reasonable Prospects of success, There were also a large number of changes in the offices of the first controller and the sixth auditor. Under the present Polley of the Treasury Department the names only ot those promoted are made public. While it is not considered especially hard to reduce a man’s salary or to dismiss him it ts considered a great wrong to pub- lsh that fact in the newspapers. This pol- icy of consideration, however, applies only to the classified service.

The President of the United States has returmed to the capital and resumed the duties of his office, which he laid down @ month ago to seek recreation and rest at his country home at Gray Gables on Buzzard’s Bay. He arrived in the city at 1:42 o'clock this afternoon and was ac- companied by the Secretary of the Treas- ury, the Secretary of War and the Attorney General. The President's private secretary met him as he stepped from the car and es- corted him to the B street entrance of the depot, where the carriage was in waiting. The President walked through the main Portion of the depot with the crowd of Passengers coming on the same train and passed out through the ladies’ entrance, but there were no demonstrations. He looked visibly fatigued and appeared hot and dusty. His face is bronzed by ex- sure to the sun as a result of his out- Ings on Buzzard's Bay and he looks stouter than he did when he left Washington. There was no trace of rheumatism in his walk, however, and he stepped along as firmly as any one. ‘The President entered his carriage and drove to the White House with his private secretary, while the other members of the party drove away also. . The Trip From Gray Gables. The President and his party left Gray Gables yesterday afternoon at 4:45 o'clock and rode to Fall River in a special car at- tached to the “steamboat train.” They boarded the steamer Puritan at 7 o'cleck, and the President immediately went to his stateroom to avold attentions of the crowd. They dined in the private dining room at 8 o'clock, and afterward sat upon the upper deck of the boat until a late hour smoking and talking.
