WaAKRane neo SOS OFF THE STREET Belt Line Road Makes a New Ar- Tangement, : PRESIDENT SCHOEPF ON THE SITUATION Looking Now for Some Practicable Motive Power. THE HORSES MUST GO The Belt line street stable has been abandcred. The company has accepted the inevitable with good grace, and has re- tired frem the ccntest with the people in good order. The horses are now changed in the street, as before, but not at the cor- ner of llth and O streets, where so much row was caused, but at the corner or near the corner of 7th and P streets, and the animals are not allowed to stand in the streets while waiting for the cars to came along. The new place of changing Is a little more then half.a mile from the stables at the end of 11th street, and the horses are taken down to the corner of 7th and P streets, four at a time, by a lad who at- tends them while they are standing in the yard of the stable waiting for the change. This yard is in the rear of the Thyson House, which has for many years been a landmark at the corner of 7th and P streets. Wm. P. Cole, the proprietor, keeps the stables, as well as the inn, and has a large yard thet is used by drovers and countrymen coming in to market. Over- tures were made to him last night by the officers of the Belt road, but no arrange- ments were made until this morning. Then he and Mr. Schoepf came to an understand- ing, to the effect that for a certain con- sideration, sum not known, the horses of the read were to be allowed to stand in- side the stable yard, four at a time, and to be relayed at intervals of about’ fifteen minutes, or as often as the schedules might require. The boys in charge of the horses are to keep the yard clean of any accumu- lations that might result. Mr. Cole says that it may be that he will pave the space used by the company’s horses, if necessary. The Change Quickly Made. Last night orders were given to the men that the outdoor stable at 11th and O streets was to be abandoned, and that pending other arrangements the change ef horses was to be made on New Jersey avenue between O and P streets. For a few trips this morning this program was carried out, but as soon as the understand- ing between Mr. Schoepf and Mr. Cole had been accomplished, the former sent the word along the line of the new plan. A Star reporter watched the new plan in operation for some time this morning. ‘The horses are kept out of sight of pedes- trians until just as the car comes along P street and halts at the little alley way leading into the yard about fifty or a hun- dred feet east of 7th street. Then the young man in charge of the team leads out two of the nocr creatures and exchanges them for the horses on the car. The change takes about three-quarters of a minute. The car then goes on, the ex- changed horses are led back ‘into the yard, and all is well again. There is ap- parently no interruption to traffic, except perhaps for the space of about a quarter of a minute, while the horses are swinging around into place, and this only every seven or eight minutes. Mr. Schoepf Explains. Mr. Schoepf, the general manager of the road, said to a Star reporter that the ar- rangement thus entered into would un- doubtedly be permanent so long as the road is using horses for propelling the cars. He then gave a history of the whole affair, from his point of view. “When the present management took charge of the road,” he said, “we found stables located in two places—at the end of the llth street line and at 3d and B streets southwest. The latter were old, tumble-down buildings, that were original- ly erected only as temporary structures. They had been continued in use, however, until they were really dangerous. The road had been planning to remove them as soon as it could be conveniently done,when the Commissioners sent us word that the buildings had been condemned, and that we must remove them at once. I appealed to the Commissioners for an extension of one year, in which time I hoped we might not have any further use for stables. This re- quest was granted, but the time was cut down to six months. Mr. Ross then said to me: ‘Mr. Schoepf, you krow that in six months you will be coming here and ask- ing for another extension.’ I told him that I would guarantee that no other request for extension would be made, and gave him my promise that the stables should be removed in six months. Shortly after that I was taken ill and was confined to my house for nearly four months. ‘The matter of the B street stables pass- ed out of my mind, and only recurred to me a few days before the expiration cf the time, which was March 1. Remember- ing then that I had given Mr. Ross a sol- emn promise to ask for no further exten- sions, I determined to remove the stables at once and to make a shift as best I could. I found that I could, by making a small addition to the lith street stables, at the northern terminus, accommodate all the horses of.the road, and this stable was built. But the new schedule prevented the brown cars from going to the stable, and it was necessary to change the horses at some point on the road. I selected the cor- ner of 11th and O streets, never dreaming that the change would become a nuisance. I tried to make the men do this work qui- etly, and really did all I could to secure a peaceful solution of the question. But as all new things are impossible to work smoothly, so this plan hitched, and the people kicked from the start. I am not going to say anything about their attitude in the matter. When the question came up before the Commissioners I went there and stated my case. That part of the question has been settled now, for the present at least, although I firmly believe I have the right to change horses in the street. I have, however, in deference to the opinion of the attorney for the District, adopted another plan, which I hope will give satisfaction to all concerned.” vT “In answer to your question about the permanency of the present arrangement, I have only to say that it is to be permanent as long as the road is operated by horses. The time has now come, I see very clear for the road to change its motive power. It is as plain as day that we cannot hope to live as a horse road while there is a rapid transit road on each side of us. Rapid transit must be adopted or the road is a What, then, is to be done?

We are watching the work that is being done om the Metro- politan line, now on {th street, and later to be done on F street, and we are deter- mined to profit by the experience of that road. s folly for us to go ahead now and change our system on a speculation, while our neighbors are going to the ex- pense of making what is practically an ex- periment. “Suppose the 9th street line costs a mil- lion dollars.

That promise was not kept, and today I had just as soon go to the chief owners of our system of roads and suggest to them fur- ther plans for a trolley road as I would propose to cut their throats. I am yet a believer in the trolley, and so are they, but we know that the fight is over. ‘ow as to the legal questions that are involved in this question of charter privi- leges; I am convinced today that we have the right to change our system as we have done, and I have had the best of legal ad- vice on the subject. This ts no idle as- sumption of mine, but the result of a care- ful study of the whole question. We have been advised by the leading railroad au- thorities in this country on the question, and we are going to urge our rights and fight the case to the limit. I do not care to take the case into the Police Court, from which there is no redress or appeal. It is a matter of far greater interests than can be settled there, and I prefer to have the mat- before a tribunal of more au- Grateful to “The Star.” The Star has received the following let- ter from residents in the vicinity of the corner that has been until today used as an exchange stable for the horses: To the Editor of The Even! Star: Personally, and in behalf of the residents in the vicinity of 11th and O streets north- west, we desire to express to you our grate- ful acknowledgments for the earnest advo- cacy of our rights, and in hastening, as we believe, action by the Commissioners, an@ in opposing the efforts of the Belt line rail- way in maintaining a public nuisance, in defiance of law and against the protest of the property owners, whose rights were daily outraged by a corporation whose only desire appears to have been to advance | their own interests, regardless of any rights | of the public, and in violation of their charter_privileges. The Star by its full reports has again given evidence that the interests of the cit- izens and tax payers shall be upheld ana protected against the encroachments of corporate power, and that any effort on the part of the authorities to condone or per- mit unlawful acts will meet with deserved condemnation. E, I. BOORAEM, JAS. F. HOOD. The Commissioners Write a Letter. The Commissioners today ordered the following letter to be sent to the vice pres- ident of the Belt line railroad by Secretary ‘Tindall: “The Commissioners direct me to trans- mit to you the inclosed copy of an opinion rendered by the assistant attorney for the District, concerning the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home and the Belt line railroads, and to notify you that they have instructed the attorney for the District to proceed to act in accordance with that opinion, rela- tive to the illegal occupance of the streets, and have written the Attorney General of the United States, calling his attention to the disregard of charter requirements men- tioned in said opinion.” It wo:ld appear from what goes ahead, however, that Mr. Schoepf has taken time by the forelock and hes met the requirements of the Commissioners. This, however, does not settle the transfer question, and that is still open. If it should be that the residents of the neighborhood where the changing of horses is now carried on complain of the arrange- ment as a nuisance and the complaint shculd be sustained, it is quite likely that the company may be driven from pillar to Fost in an effort to locate. This would seriously damage the present transfer sys- tem and might lead to its abandonment. Ree Annie Poney Photographed.

NO. The Commissioners Will Remove It to the Ohio Avenue Site. Although the petition of the business men protesting against the removal of No. 2 engine heuse from its present location has been ccnsidered by the Commissioners, they have decided to do nothing further in the matter of making a change from the new gite selected on Ohio avenue. The attorney for the District is at present engaged ex- amining the title, and if it is foynd with- out a flaw the money will be paid over to the owners and preparations immediately begun for building the new house. Commissioner Koss, when questioned by a reporter of The Star this morning, said the Commissioners had gone too far in the purchase to turn back. The new site was only two squares further west than the present house, and ufter the streets con- tiguous thereto had been improved he thought everything would be satisfactory. It was true, he said, that the old site would be turned ov to the United States after the house had been moved. The Commission say the price asked for the property in the rear of the present engine house site, which it was necessary to purchase in order to enlarge the hous: was so high as to be practically prohibitiv: At first $10 a foot was asked. Subsequent! the price was reduced to $9, but even th sum the Commissioners regarded as too much. ——.——__ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Building Permits.

MACEO IN COMMAND Martel Denies That He Has Oom- mitted Suicide, AT THE HEAD OF A LARGE FORCE Suspected Preparations for an Ex- pedition from Florida. CUSTOMS OFFICERS VIGILAN' JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 23.—Mankel de Martel, who figured in the Lagonda event, when the yacht was seized at Fer- nandina, Fla., by United States authorities, in January, and found to be loaded with arms for Cuba, has been in Jacksonville for a week, having come direct from Cuba. Martel has been in hiding at the home of the president of the new Cuban Club. The correspondent learned last night that two meetings of the club have been held re- cently, and that a movement is on foot, under Martel’s guidance, to send an ex- Pedition from some point in Florida in aid of the insurgents. It is said that arms have already arrived secretly at Fernan- dina and that Martel is going to New York to procure a ship. Martel was seen, but absolutely refused to confirm or deny the report. When asked if he had not fied from Cuba because the revolution was a failure and if the other leaders were not doing the same, he be- came indignant and asserted that the in- surgents’ cause was gaining strength every day. Martel claims to have landed on the Is- land with Marti, Gomez, Maceo and other leaders, who, he says, are still in Cuba, at the head of the large armies. He said the press report of Maceo’s suicide was a mis- take. Corma, who was Martel’s associate in the Lagonda affair, known then as Mi- rand, was killed in a battle recently. It has been learned that custom authori- ties at Fernandina have been ordered to redouble their vigilance, as it is believed that Martel will soon put in at that port, with a vessel to take on board arms. Captain General Campos’ Movements. HAVANA, April 23.—Captain General Martinez de Campos, after a conference on board his steamer, the Villavedere, off San- tiago, with Gens. Garrich and Salcedo, and with the chief of the general staff, left for Gibara. The impression which Campos formed from his visit to Mansea- nillo was a favorable one fer the progress of the campaign against the insurgents. ‘There are no yellow fever cases in the mil- itary hospitals. Col. Bosch has met and defeated a force of insurgents between Palenque and Gay- abal. The insurgents lost ten killed and a rumber wounded. In addition, the govern- ment troops captured a quantity of arms, ammunition and provisions belonging to the insurgents. Spain Docsn’t Like It. _ MADRID, April 23.—At a conference last evening between the premier, Senor Cano- vas Del Castillo, and the minister of the colonies, Senor Castellanos, the reception accorded, on Sunday last in New York, to Carlos M. de Cespedes, son of the first president of the Cuban provisional republic, who arrived there on the steamer La Champagne, from Havre, was discussed, and it was decided to call the attention of the United States, as a friendly nation, to the work of the separatists within the United States. Followed by a Spanish Ship. The Pacific mail steamer City of Para, which arrived at New York yesterday from |.Colon, reports that from midnight Wednes- day until daybreak Thursday morning she was followed by a Spanish warship. The Para, at that time, was off Cape Maysi, and in the vicinity of the place where the Allianca was fired upon by a gunboat some weeks ago. During the night, which was intensely dark, the port and starboard lights of the man-of-war glimmered dead astern. At daybreak the sun broke over a calm sea, through which the Spaniard sheered to the westward, and was finally lost to view. The Para was not molested. BALTIMORE, Md., April 23.—News from Capt. Thomas Travers of the schooner James L.

A Spanish gunboat overhauled us off the Cuban coast, and upon learning the nature of our cargo escorted us all the way to Port Antonio, keeping nearly a mile away from us all the time, however.’ RACING AT EPSOM.
