For the erection of the hos- pital, together with a disinfecting plant and a high masonry wall around the place, Congress appropriated $15,000, and the money is now available. The Commission- ers, however, do not see their way clear to accomplish the great things provided for with the small amount of money at their command, and therein lies the difficulty. The Senate suggested $30,000 as the proper amount for fitting up the hospital, but in conference that sum was cut down to the figure named in the foregoing, and Commissioner Truesdell stated to a Star reporter this afternoon that after building the wall of masonry not a very lavish sum will remain to cover the balance of the work. Nevertheless, within a very short time the Commissioners will order the preparation of plans for-such a hospital building as they deem proper and will erect as much of it as the money in hand will permit. This may only be one ward, but such is the action to be taken, and at the next session Congress is to be im- portuned for the wherewithal to complete the structure. No provision was made for physicians, nurses and other employes for the hospital, and that is another import- ant matter to be brought to the attention of the next Congress. —— STREETS, SEWERS AND WATER. Interesting Data in a Report Drawn for the Senate. In compliance with a Senate resolution of February 22 last, the Commissioners have had prepared considerable interest- ing data relating to the paving of streets, the laying of sewer and water mains, etc., in the limits of Washington and George- town. ‘. Assessor Trimble reports that the as- sessed value of private property is $23,- 524,858, while the estimated value of gov- ernment property ig $10,256,266. A list of streets showing the number of Mnear feet of each wholly or partially sup- plied wth sewer facilities has been pre- pared by Capt. Beach. There are 102,300 feet of unsewered streets running east and west and 72,250 feet partially sewered. Of streets running north and south, including Georgetown, there are unsewered 108,350 feet, and partially sewered 51,450 feet. In Georgetown there are 5,200 feet of unsew- ered streets runnjng east and west, and 5,900 feet partially sewered running in the same direction: The total estimated cost of building sewers where they are lacking is $1,008,950. Capt. ‘Beach states that there are an immense number of sewers in the city in such condition that they must be replaced in order to provide the city with proper sewerage facilities. There are about fifty miles of such sewers. Capt. Burr has submitted a list of streets and avenues partially or wholly without water mains, together with the estimated cost of laying mains. The list includes the number of fire hydrants required and the cost of their erection. According to Capt. Burr, in order to properly supply the city with needed water mains, there are re- quired 404,580 feet of six-inch pipe at 00 cents per footy or $364,122; 16,550 feet of twelve-inch pipe at $1.50 per foot, or $24,- 825, and 185 fire hydrants at $85 each, or $15,725, a total of $404,672. A MISSING MAN. A Connecticut Man’s Friends Alarmed by His Disappearance. Friends and business connections in this city of R. E. Abbe of Enfield, Conn., are considerably alarmed over the fact that he has been missing since Wednesday of last week. He arrived here last Tuesday from Williamsburg, Mass., where he had been to order a shipment of 320 barrels of apples for a Washington firm, and was seen on that and on the following day. Having some business in Alexandria, Va., and sup- posing he had gone there, search was in- stituted, but no trace of him was found. He is about fifty years old, wears a mus- tache and full chin beard, is five feet eight inches in height, and is slightly deaf. It is feared that his mind is temporarily af- fected from a recent attack of the grip. The disappearance of Mr. R. E. Abbe was reported to the police several days ago, as stated In The Star. When he came here last Tuesday he stopped over night at the Tremont House. The next day he changed his quarters to the Indiana House. At this place he borrowed a satchel from one of the boarders, saying he wanted to bring some small articles from the hotel in t. He went out and did not return. After his disappearance was reported it was ascertained that two car loads of ap- ples consigned to him had reached the de- pot here, and they are fast decaying. = : On Suspicion.

OLD WORLD MATTERS Britannia and Dakotah Win More Races. : THE FAST AILSA UNABLE 70 START Death of Worth, the Noted Man Dressmaker. LORD ROSEBERY ALMOST WELL MENTONE, France, March 11.—Britannia won the race for yachts of her class and Dakotah won the race for the smaller yachts this morning. Half of a gale of wind had been blowing all night, but its force was much abated this morning, although a strong easterly breeze still prevailed and there was a mod- erate sea running. Many people came from Cannes, Nice and other places in ex- pectation of seeing a race between Ailsa and Britannia. To their great disappoint- ment Ailsa did not put in an appearance, and it was reported here that she had been unable to find a duplicate of the throat halliard block, which was damaged just be- fore the start in the race for the Grand Prix De Monte Carlo on Saturday. The splendid’sea wall was crowded when the starting gun was fired in the first event of the Mentone international regatta. There were many yachts, including Mr. Ogden Goelet’s White Ladye, assembled .in the harbor in order to see the racers start. The race"was for a prize of 1,000 francs, offered by the president of the French re- public, M. Felix Faure. The course was twenty miles long, the yachts sailing three times around a triangle. The greatest interest was manifested in the little American-built Dakotah as she emerged from the harbor with her main- sail reefed, carrying no top sail and steered by her owner, young Mr. Henry Allen, who was clothed from head to foot in a sult of oll skins. Dakotah was no sooner outside the harbor than she plunged her bow into the big waves, which immediately swept her decks fore and aft. Dakotah’s com- Petitors today were Rolla III and Bebell. WORTH DEAD. The Lincolnshire Lad Whose Word - Ruled Fashion’s World. PARIS, March 11.—Worth, the famous “man dressmaker,” is dead. Charles Frederick Worth was born in Bourne, Lincolnshire, England, in 1825. At the age of thirteen he was apprenticed to a printer, his parents being desirous that he should learn that trade, but he evinced a strong hostility to handling type and abandoned the printing office after he had served about seven months. He then went to London and through the assistance of a friend secured a position in a draper’s (dry goods) shop, which position he left to enter the employment of Swan & Edgar, drapers, where he became a favorite. He first con- ceived the idea of designing fashions through conversations with the buyers of Swan & Edgar, and frequently made sug- gestions which’ the heads of departmencs were not slow to see in a favorable light. The more he talked with the buyers the more he resolved to go to Paris,and soon he “began the study of French. When about twenty-one years of age he went to Paris and shortly after his arrival in that city secured a ‘position with Gagelin & Com- pany, and in a few years was placed at the head of the department. In his new ca- pacity he inaugurated many new depar- tures. While in the employ of Gagelin & Company he received medals for displays at the London and Paris expositions. Later he established the firm of Worth & Boberg, and in 1870 founded the famous house of Worth. His fame as a dressmaker was world wide, and among the many admirers of his Skill was the ex-Empress Eugenie, for whom he made a great many elegant dress- es. It has been said that while Paris rules the world in fashion, the man who ruled Paris—M. Worth—was a Lincolnshire, Eng- land, lad, so that really it was an English- man who was the arbiter of the world’s fashion, Lord Resebery Almost Well. LONDON, March 11.—Lord Rosebery has almost entirely recovered frcm the attack of influenza which has confined him to his house for nearly two weeks. He went to Windsor today in order to have an audi- ence of the queen. Her majesty starts for Nice on Wednesday next. Fresh Disorders in Armenia. LONDON, March 11.—According to a dis- patch from Constantinople published in the Standard this morning, unconfirmed rumors were current of fresh disorders at Karahissar, in the villaget of Sivas, Asiatic Turkey. Additional advices from the same source say that many Armenians have been killed and wounded at Karahissar. Fishirg Boats Wrecked. TANGIER, Morocco, March 11.—A vio- lent_storm prevailed here last night. Thir- ty fishing boats and other craft were wrecked and the pier was partly destroyed. In addition, sncw fell last night for the first time in many years. A Venerable Historian Dead. MILAN, March 11.—Cesare Cantu, the historian, is dead, aged ninety-one years. -——.__ = Decided Against Wyse. NEW YORK, March 11.—Judge Freed- man, in the special term of the superior court, today handed down his decision in the case of William S. Wyse against his wife, Marie S. Wyse, giving a judgment in favor of Mrs. Wyse. Wyse sued to re- cover property worth $150,000, which he said his wife had obtained from him when he was mentally unsound. —__ Natural Gas at Salt Lake City. SALT LAKE, Utah, March 11.—This city {s rejoicing over the final arrival of natural gus, which has been piped from the wells fourteen miles distant. The completion of the first connection was celebrated by the illuminating of the main streets with flam- beaux turned on at high pressure from the mains at the Temple block. The supply already ayailable is ample for the entire demand of the city for domestic light and heat, with a good surplus for manufactur- ing purposes. ——->—__ The Western Base Ball League. MILWAUKEE, Wis., March 11.—Dele- gates to the regular spring schedule ‘meet- ing of the Western Base Ball League were called to order at St. Charles Hotel today, but owing to the absence of Manager Man- ning of Kansas City, an adjournment was taken until 2 o’clock. A number of disputes in regard to players are being considered by the executive committee. —_———>—- Barbers in Convention. PITTSBURG, Pa., March 11.—The Bar- bers’ National Association is in session in this city. The principal work of the con- vention will be to try to effect a consolida- tion of the national and international asso- ciations. Both have the same objects in view, and it is probable that a combination will be made. Another important object ts to make the apprentice rules so sttict that the cheap 5-cent shaving shops will be wiped out of existence. —_—_ Cracksmen at Knoxville. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., March 11.—Safe blowers played havoc in Knoxville last night. About 8 o’clock residents of the sec- ond, third, fourth and fifth wards were startled by a terrific explosion, which shook the buildings for blocks around. A squad of special policemen were dispatched to in- vestigate the matter, but reported every- thing all right. When T. A. Burrier, machinist, opened ness, just opposite the city ig, he found the back door ‘of his store open, and the safe ‘ying, cracked open, on the outside. The safe had been relieved of its contents, which con- sisted of several dollars in money and three fine pistols, besides a number of other val- uables. The work was evidently that of experts. There is no clue to the cracks- men, MONDAY, MARCH 11, HE OFFI THE WEATHER MAP. Rain hnd Snow in Many Sintes of the Union. This morning’s issue of the weather map ccntains little promise of fair weather in this vicinity. Rain prevails ‘this morning in the gulf states, Tennessee and Arkansas, and the same storm is producing light snows in Missouri, southern Illinois and southern Ohio. The natural tendency of this storm is to the northeast. The follow- ing forecast for the District of Columbia, Maryland and Delaware for the period ending at 8 p.m. fomorrow is made: “Threatening weather and rain or snow, followed by clearing weather Tuesday; slightly colder Tuesday morning; warmer Tuesday evening; easterly winds.” The barometer has risen rap‘dly in New England, the lower lake region and the region north of the Dakotas and Montana. It has fallen in the southern states, in the Mississippi and Missouri valleys. It is high in northern New York and is low in Louisiana and Wyoming. The latter area of low pressure is not now accompanted by precipitation. Fair weather continues from New England westward to the Dakotas, but a small low area, accompanied by warmer temperatures, has developed north of the great lakes. For Washington the following records were obtained: Baro- metric pressure, 30.14, a rise of 12 points in twelve hours; temperature, 40 degrees, a fall of 2 degrees in twenty-four hours; minimum In past twelve hours, 40 degrees; wind velocity, 12 miles an hour; rainfall, ALL QUIET IN CUBA The Exiled Patriots Charged With Oow- ardica, The Insurgents Makivg a Guerrilla Warfare and Waiting for Leaders to Go on With the War. Of all the queer revolutions that have taken place on the island of Cuba during the last hundred years, says a Cuban cor- respondent of the New York Herald, the present one is probably the queerest. With the same cayse back of it—that of unjust taxation by the Spanish government—it has not, so far, developed Into anything but guerrilla warfare, and its effect has only stirred the Spanish authorities into prompt and decisive action. Bands of leaderless, chiefiess men roant around the mountains and swamps, afraid to surrender en account of the bullet and the garrote, and afraid to make a decisive stand because of the lack, of,an executive brain to guide them. Their knowledge of warfare consists only of:ihe-firing of guns and the wielding of maghetgs. Of tactics they have no knowledge, beyond the old barbaric style of fighting;behind trees and on the run. "3 They are willing to fightg. but do not When patriots know how to go about jt. who really have the welfare of Cuba at heart gather about suck. reputed bandits as Manuel Garcia was, and gs Matagas Is, it may be understood hpw adly off they are for leaders. Jem Generals Sanchez amd Roloff, Cuban leaders, are in Key WestpFla.; presumably waitjng for an expedition to be fitted out. Maceo and other leaders are dn Costa Rica, also waiting for something to.turn up, and Maximo Gomez, the aged veteran, and king pin of them all, is iid to be In San Domingo. Being seventy-sewin years old, he is now too old to taketpart in an active campaign; but the Cubanrebeis seem to think his presence aud knowledge of mili- tary tactics would have the effect of brac- ing up the cause. " In fact, it seems to be the general opinion that if the leaders would leave the various contemplated expeditions in other hands and éome to Cuba, the men who are now in a state of vacillation would flock to their standards by thousands, and the petty outbreaks now going on would soon take on the aspect of actual warfare. Hesitating Exiles. The big Spanish war ship Infanta Isabella is now lying at Key West, within almost a stone’s throw of tke docks., She is without, torpedo nettings, or, if she has them, they are not in use. What other race of men en earth except the easy going but pa- triotic Cubans would not attempt to drift down on some dark night a boat load of dynamite against her iron sides. Key West is full of mer who are willing to dream cf liberty, but who are: unwilling to scheme for it. Most of them have heard the cruel song of Spanish bullets felt the ruin of Spanish rule. Having established a busi- ness and made their homes in more peace- ful countries, even though they were once leaders, they do not feel called upon to leave their families for the field for a sec- ond time. Still, they may do it. This is why Cuba Libre is without lead- ers, Those who groan and sweet under the yoke of Spanish rule have nothing but de- feats to look back upon. There is no in- centive to other than guerrilla warfare. Their leaders are panished and they have nD others to look to. They have lost he- fore. What hope iave they of winning row? Then again, they feel that the throes cf a death-stricken purpose are like those of a dying man. The first. gasps and kicks are‘always loudest and hardest. Generally speaking, the Cubans are ex- ceedingly reserved in expressing an opinion on the existing troubles. They have a wholesome fear of. Spanish retaliation. Nevertheless, I met by appointment last night a Cuban who was well known in the last revolution as an outspoken and rad- ical man. Having a prosperous business at present, and not wishing to lose it until thoroughly setisfied as to the strength of the cause, he has made his peace with the government. It is only tentative on the part of the latter, and at the least out- break of patriotism or incendiary language he would be sent to the cabanas to brood over his indiscretion. Heavy Taxation. “The real cause of the ‘present uprising,” said he, “lies in the terrific taxation im- posed upon the people. Spain is very poor, and Cuba’s natural resources are large. Consequently, Cuba is made to suffer that Spain may thrive. The total taxation that falls upon the population of 1,600,000 is something like $39,000,000 a year. Of this, $28,000,000 is a state tax,¢and $11,000,000 a municipal tax for the suppo?t of the offi- cials, the soldiers and thé ‘police, who are here to oppress us. 3 “There is a tax upon everything that an unholy mental activity qguld invent. Through taxation alone Hour is $12 a bar- rel when it reaches tie cénsumer. The government must have it¥- tax; to offset the tax the importer must raise his price. The retail dealer does likewise, nnd the poor consumer has to do without bread. For projecting signs in front of places of busi- ness the government charges-5 cents a let- ter. It costs a guest $1.26 tobe allowed to take his departure from any;,hotel. Liquor is taxed so highly that the profits, high as they are in ordinary cases, are almost eaten up. 3 “The present outbreak will not end*so easily as the government!supfsoses. A good, capable leader, like Cespedes was, would consolidate the patriots in+Santiago de Cuba into a single army that would roll the Spanish outposts seaward in a hurry. “Matagas will not do. He loses sight of ‘| patriotism in his desire for plunder. Never- theless, his force in Santa Clara is con- stantly receiving acquisitions. Garcia was better, but they say Garcia is dead. They have killed him six times before this by false reports. “We would get along much better if some of the leaders in Costa Rica, Honduras, San Domingo, Key West and New York would come out here and fight.” The most peculiar thing told me by the reformed revolutionist was relative to the taxation upon slaughtered’cattle. The gov- ernment charges so much per stab for the killing, to begin with. Then they place a tax on the hide, on the horns, on each of the four hoofs, and, finally, on ‘the tail. Were there a few other available parts of the animal the butchers would go bank- rupt. When I passed through Havana last week everything was going on, as usual, although the amount of business transacted was not so great. The hotels were suffer- ing most, as the usual visitors from the north had been kept away by rumors of war. Then, again, merchants in the United States who. usually consign goods freely to interior points in Cuba were unwilling to take the risk. : Betrayer of the Cause. The Cubans here, and the insurgent rarty generally, are greatly incensed at ‘Julio Sanguilly, the former Cuban leader, now confined in the Cabanas, in Havana. They assert, with much evidence, that he has betrayed the movement. According to ™many accounts he was paid by the Spanfsh government not only to betray the upris- ing, but to betray Manuel Garcia as well. For the betrayal of the latter he is said to have been paid $400. The story is going all over Cuba that Sanguilly lured him to his death by means of a letter, in which he advised.a raid on Seesveks, where the ambuscade was form- e How long ago was this movement ef the Cubans planned? One year, or two at the outside. However long it may have been, Senguilly was certainly on the inside of the scheme. Soon after it was formed he took out the papers of an American citizen. According to the best information the re- volt was to take place on the first carnival day, February 22. Everybody knows how thoroughly prepared‘the government was against the move. The Cubans say they have indisputable evidence that Sanguilly betrayed them. At any rate, there is very little doubt that he will soon be set free. The American consul is even now making strenuous efforts to have him reicased. _i had a long talk with a prominent citi- zen of Havana a few days ago, in which he expressed some very decided opinions. “Cuba will never be free,” said he, “until the resident Spaniards themselves take up arms against oppression. They are coming to it slowly and surely. The majority of Cubans do not complain, because they are well fixed financially.” a GENERAL NEWS NOTES. At Brazil, Ind., Elza Stahleton, sixteen years old, testified that her husband, sixty- five years old, is a witch, and had brought sickness and distress upon her. She re- lated many mysterious deeds which she claimed her husband committed. James Puyty, seventy-five years old, and Mrs. Hester West, seventy, were married near Kirkmansville, Ky. James Stamps, the groom's best man, is a widower for the second time, his wite having been a daugh- ter of Mr. Puyty and his second wife the daughter of Mrs. West. A Seneca Falls (N.

Allegation: Inspector the Building Inspectcr Brady today submitted to the Commissioners his report of the in- vestigation which has been made by him into the charges of the Federation of Labor against Contractor Charles R. Munroe, of gross violation of the contract and specifi- cations for the construction of the new school building on E street between 13th and lith streets southeast. The report, which is in the hands of Commissioner ‘Truesdell, has not been read yet, and under the new order of the Commissioners any facts concerning it will not be made public until the board so desires. The charges were presented on March 1, and alleged that the contract and specitica- tions fer the construction of the building have been violated in workmanship and material, the chief defect being, it was claimed, that the wails were built nollow to an extent that admits the hand man between the bricks. Mr. Brady has made a full and complete investigation of the matter, and in his re- port, it is understood, sets forth that the greater number of charges, including those that the brickwork has been executed in the worst possible manner, the walls being neither plumb, straight or level; that sal- mon brick have been used in the wails above the grade line; that the joints in the select brick work are of extra thickness and out of plun.b, and that the joists are sappy, bark edge.and knotty and leveled up to the walls with from two to three courses of dry brick and upon wooden blocks, are without foundation. it has not yet been determined whether the allegation of the Federation that the wails are hollow is true or false, as they have not been tapped. Superintendent Cox, who is supposed to have witnessed the lay- ing of every brick on the building, declares that the walls are not hollow, and Building Inspector Brady apparently is willing to abide by that decision, for in the report submitted to the Commissioners, so far as can be learned, he states that if the Fed- eration of Labor will file a bond, pledging itself to reimburse the contractor for. all damage resulting from tapping the walls, if they are found to be solid and in accord- ance with the specification, such action will be taken at any and all spots the Federa- tion may point out to be examined. ——— Jadicial Outrages. From the New York World. The method by which the Vanderbilt ai- vorce was arranged is a scandal ‘to our jurisprudence. Worse than that, it is an influence for the degradation of public morals and the breaking down of the popu- lar sense of right and wrong. Practically Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt di- vorced themselves. There was no hearing before a court. The parties did not appear before the tribunal. There was no public proof of infidelity on either side to serve as a punishment to the guilty party or as a deterrent influence in the case of others. The whole matter was arranged by dicker. The cniy function of the court was to give legal effect to the terms of the bargain. Is it, then, the privilege of the rich to an- nul their marriages at pleasure by mutual agreement? The law, rigidly enforced against all ordinary citizens, prescribes ofa that collusion between husband and wife shall be an effectual and peremptory bar to diverce. Yet this rich man and woman have sent their lawyers Into court with a collusive agreement already made; the court has suppressed the evidence agreed to be presented, by sending the case to a referee instead of hearing it in open ses- sion; the referee has made a report in ac- cordance with the terms of the dicker; the court has affirmed it, ordering the papers sealed so that there may be no scandal— which means simply that the guilty party shall be spared all social shame and in- cenvenience—and the terms of the collusive agreement have been embodied in a decree which authorizes one party to marry again at pleasure, and imposes upon the other a prohibiticn of marriage, which is as enef- fectual as a bull against a comet. Unless we accept the unclean doctrine of free love, marriage and divorce are not in any senee private matters. The family re- lation lies at the very foundation of society. Divorce equally with marriage is a matter of public concern, and should be decreed only after a public hearing and public proof of statutory cause. A case of this kind sets an example of the most pernicious character imaginable. It means to the majority that there is one law for the rich and another for the rest ‘of us. It means that if you have money eneugh your mafriage vows may count for nothing. It means that your misconduct will be carefully guarded against exposure by all the authority the courts possess. It means that while collusive divorce pro- ceedings are peremptorily thrown out of court in the case of ordinary persons, a multi-millionaire and his wife may arrange such a proceeding in full assurance that it wil! be ratified by the courts, and that all the scandalous details will be securely hid- den beneath the sacred seal of the tribunal. ———_-¢ee_—_____ The Value of Light. From the Popular Medical Monthly. A sunbeam is a small thing, yet it has a rower to fade the carpets and curtains, to rot the blinds, and for this reason some folks carefully exclude the sunshine. What is the result? The family is always ailing, the young girls have a waxen, white skin end a weary, pinched expression of coun- tenance. Their appetites fail, they fall into such a bad state of health that the doctor is called in. In olden days he would have shaken his head, perhaps, and friends would have whispered that dreaded word “decline!” Nowadays he notes the pale gums and waxen skin and says “‘aneemia;” prescribes iron and milk, fresh air and exercise and often a change. If he knows nothing about the darkened rooms he will be puzzled as to why no permanent im- provement manifests itsclf, and, possibly, the patient will seek other advice. F.NANCIAL. Cc. T.
