EUSTIS INSTRUCTED Ex-Consul Waller’s Case Given to AN IMPORTANT SPANISH VICTORY The Great Dyke at Bouzey Had Given Way Before. GENERAL FOREIGN ‘TOPICS PARIS, April 29.—The United States am- bassador, Mr. James B. Eustis, has receiv- ed very pointed and definite instructions from Washington regarding the case of Mr. John L. Waller, the former American consul at Tamatave, now imprisoned in France under a twenty years’ sentence imposed by a court-martial, on the. ground that he was in communication with the Hovas. Mr. Eustis has verbally and in writing communicated his instructions to the French minister of foreign affairs, M. Hanotaux, but the latter has not yet re- plied to these communications. The foregcing would indicate that the United States government has received from Madagascar the report of the United States consul there in regard to Mr. Wal- ler's case, and that the conclusions drawn from it justify such intervention, and that it will probably result in a fresh and joint inquiry, VICTORY OVER INSURGENTS, Many of Maceo’s Forces in Cuba Dis- persed. HAVANA, April 29.—Gen. Salcedo, com- manding the Spanish troops operating against Gen. Maceo, the insurgent leader, has won a great victory. He attacked Maceo’s forces at Parra Hueco. After a severe engagement, during which the Span- ish soldiers fought bravely, the forces of the government were victorious, com- pletely routing the insurgents, who lost many killed and wounded. The survivors of Maceo’s command were dispersed, and have sought refuge in the mountains. The insurgent band commanded by Gen. Garzon has also been completely defeated, with great loss in killed, wounded and pris- oners. Nearly all the survivors of this band surrendered themselves prisoners to the Spanish authorities. z All the orders given by Captain General Martinez de Campos since he assumed com- mand in Cube would lead the ordinary ob- server to suppose that there has been great jaxity. in the administration of the war de- partment by the captain general whom he superseded, and who is now on his way back to Spain. Even the sanitary service, so essential in time of war, seems to have suffered great neglect. The national inter- ests were also apparently neglected in other directions. It is believed that Campos will discern that the rebellion could have been prevented if proper precautions had been taken in time. Happily, the activity of the new captain general in the direction of a general plan of campaign against the in- surgents will, it is confidently expected, scon produce a beneficial result. KEY WEST., Fia., April 29.—Advices re- ceived here by steamer from Cuba state that near Guantanamo on the 19th instant there was a fierce battle between a band of 200 Spanish troops and the insurgents. The Spanish troops were greatly outnumbered, and they were literally cut to pieces. Only four or five of them escaped to tell the tale. It is said that the insurgents gave no quarter. Orders had been given to take no prisoners, and the insurgents butchered 40 Spanish soldiers with their machetes. ear Ramon de las Jaquas a day or two later there was an engagement in which it is said the Spanish were roughly hand- led. Major Tojerizo, who commanded the Spanish troops, and several other officers were wounded and Capt. Miranda was killed. There are ten bands of insurgents in the province of Puerto Principe. Several ex- peditions friendly to the insurgents have landed on the island. The Spanish government is making more rigid the censorship of the press and the telegraph. The Spanish paper, La Discus- sion, was fined a few days ago $1,000 for publishing the news of the landing of Gomez and Marti. Marcos Geria, leader in the revolution, now mayor of Santos Paritu, has tendered his resignation to join the insurgents. It is said Flor Crombet, the Cuban gen- eral, was not killed in battle as reported, but was killed by Spanish troops. Spanish Lieut. Gallego was shot at San- tivgo by order of Gen. Campos a few days ago for allowing himself to be surprised by insurgents. Gen. Maceo, the Cuban leader, is said to be at the head of a large ferce of insurgents near Santiago. It is thought in Havana that a decisive battle will be fought soon. THE DYKE AT BOUZEY. Owing to the IlIness of the Inspector It Was Not Examined. EPINAL, France, April 29.—The great dyke at Bouzey, by the breaking of which on Saturday over 100 lives are reported to have Been lost, formed a reservoir occupy- ing a superficial area of 1,000,000 square meters. In 1884 a large fissure developed in the main dam and it was filled with cement and beams of oak. The feed canal, in 1885, burst above Bouzey and carried away a length of 20 meters, the escaping waters destroying several houses. Happily, no lives were lost upon that occasion. Some time previous to the accident of 1885 the inspector of roads and bridges announced that the dam was in a dangerous condition and notified the inhabitants of Bouzey and ics neighbérhood to be on the lookout for a possible breaking of the dam and a dis- aster to the neighborhood. In 1892 there was a second accident to the reservoir wall near Epinal, and during the past two years the wall of the dam, which should have been straight, was seen to have bulged to the extent of one meter. the chief engineer of roads and bridges, who had been in charge of the work of constructing the reservoir, does not seem to have been supported in his plans by his colleagues, for he had great difficulty with them before he was able to carry out his plans of a straight walled dam, instead of a curved dam. This is now looked upon as having been the cause of the accident, with the possibility that the actual disaster and loss of Hfe which followed might have been averted had it not been for the fact that the inspector whose duty {t was to super- vise the dam and watch for any signs of a break has been ill for the past fifteen days, and therefore the dam did not receive the attention which would otherwise have been given to it.

For Virginia and North Carolina, showers today ané tonight, showers near the coast Tuesday; rising temperature; easterly winds. Since Saturday a storm of slight intensity has moved from Louisiana to the Florida peninsula, and a second storm, also of moderate strength, has advanced from Idaho to Kansas. An area of high barom- eter has passed from the region north of the Saint Lawrence valley over New Eng- land, and is centered this morning south of western Nova Scotia. As anticipated Sat- urday, the northeast winds, produced by the northeast high and the southeast low barometer area, have caused a continuation of cloudy, rainy weather in the Atlantic coast districts south of New England. In Virginia and North Carolina the rain- fall of the last twenty-four hours has been quite heavy, and at Wilmington, N.C., a depth of 2.64 inches is reported for that period. In this city 2.05 inches of rain have fallen since Saturday morning. Un- settled weather, with showers, is indicated for the south Atlantie states. In the mid- dle Atlantic states there is a strong prob- ability of warmer, clearing weather, al- though the persistent northeast winds ren- der the outlook very uncertain. Condition of the Water.

He drove Sher Afzul through the snow and starved him into surrender. The political effect of the cap- ture is very important. The whereabouts of Umra Khan are uncertain. Twenty of his men have been captured and disarmed of Martini carbines.

Ten thousand cartridges were found in the Dir fort in sealed gov- ernment boxes.”” Oscar Wilde’s Trial. LONDON, April 29.—The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, charged with se- rious niisdemeanors, was resumed at the Old Bailey today. The evidence presented was chiefly a repetition of former testi- mony. It is expected that the trial will finish tomorrow. When the case for the prosecution was completed the court adjourned for the day. The defense will open tomorrow morning. The Kaiser Visits Victorin. DARMSTADT, April 20.—Emperor Will- fam paid another visit to Queen Victoria yesterday evening at the Luisenplatz Pal- ace, where her majesty is stopping during her visit to this city to attend the christen- ing of the daughter of the Grand Duchess of Hesse, formerly Princess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, davghter of the Duke of Edinburgh, second son of the queen. Early this morning the emperor alarmed the garrison, reviewed the troops and started during the forenoon for Schlitz. Greek Government Sustained. ATHENS, April 29.—In the elections yes- terday for members of the Greek parlia- ment ex-Prime Minister Tricoupis, leader of the opposition, was unseated by 115 votes. Only about ten of his supporters were elected. On the other hand, M. Dely- annis and his party received three-fourths of the votes cast. M. Delyannis is the present prime minister. The Mikado Has a Chill. YOKOHAMA, April 29.—The mikado is suffering from a chill. The date of the de- parture of Count Ito, the president of the Japanese council of ministers, for Chefoo, in order to ratify the treaty of peace ar- rived at between China and Japan, has not yet been determined upon. a THE CHORAL SOCIETY. Annual Election of Directors to Be Held Tonight. The Choral Society this evening will elect eight members of the board of di- rectors to take the places of those whose terms have expired and of Mr. ugene Stevens, who has resigned from active membership on account of leaving the city. It Is expected that the old members will be generally re-elected, but who will be the new one cannot be predicted. The board during the past year has worked in good harmony, and the efficiency of its labors is shown in the fact that the sea- son closes with a balance on the right side of the ledger. The interest of the members of the sociaty has been demon- strated in the good attendance at the re- hearsals during this monzh, even though it was known that there was to be no other concert given until next fall. The work has been put in on “Samson and Delilah,” which it is intended to give as the sec- ond performance next season. The re- port of the president, a brief outline of which was given in The Star last Satur- day, went over the work of the year in detail and was of great interest when read to the society last Monday night. The aim of the Choral Society has always been to present the higher forms of musi- cal composition in the most effective man- ner. The oratorios {t ias presented have all been well given, so far as the chorus work was concerned, and the soloists have, generally, been satisfactory. In cases where individual singers have not met the requirements it has not been the fault of the committee engaging them, but rather from the fact that they were deceived by too glowing press notices. The officers and directors of the society have only the in- terest of the organization and the cause of music at heart, and in all their acts are influenced by no other consideration. It is believed that next season the society will meet with even greater success, and will be even better supported by its honorary members and by the general public. ee Advice to the Married. BALTIMORE, April 20.—At Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church last night Rev. Dr. Johnson, secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal board of ed- ucation, preached. Bishop Gaines an- nounced that Dr. Johnson would deliver a lecture on “When to Marry, How to Marry and How to Keep Married.” “The last part of the subject,” said the bishop, “iss one to consider well. Some men are so mean and some women are so indifferent that it makes matters bad. It is partly the fault of both that so many people do not succeed in living happily after mar- riage. You women make yourselves look just too sweet before you capture the man of your choice, and when you get him, in- stead of keeping yourselves up to’ the standard of good looks, you neglect it. I tell you that I want my wife to look just as sweet today as she did when I fell in love with her.” er Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: Edwin W. Tate and Hattie J. Hopson; Chas. M. Mitchell of New York city and Sally Linton Rohrer of this cit; Matthew W. Chambers and Lucy A. Reed; Oliver P. Runley and Marie E. Boarman.

CONGRESS 70 BE ASKED FOR LEGISLATION Contributions to Be Asked for the Purchase of Books. FUNDS ALREADY PROMISED The fact that very few of the contrib- utors to the free library annual install- ment fund and representatives of only an insignificant fraction of the sum contribut- ed were present at the organization meet- ing called at Gen. Greely’s house on Fri- day night is thought to indicate that the contributors do not favor immediate or- ganization and incorporation, and the speedy opening of a skeleton library. - This inference is satisfactory to the board of trade and to the library committee and other library cranks of that organization who have hoped and expected that this fund was to be used in co-operation with the board's well-known library project and not in opposition to it. Through publica- tions in the newspapers, especially The Star, and through speeches and reports in the board of trade and through labors before congressional committees a strong public sentiment favorable to a free library was aroused many months ago, which was ready to take the practical shape of sub- scriptions of money or books as soon as the time was ripe and an appeal was made. Assurances were given by citizens to the library committee of the board of trade of a willingness to make such contribu- tacns, and in considerable amounts. The Board of Trade Committee. This committee, after carefully consider- ing the conditions and the lessons of pre- vious experiences, in one of which some $7,000 in subscriptions were obtained, but were deemed insufficient, concluded that both public and private aid would be abso- lutely necessary for the maintenance of a permanent and satisfactory library, and their conclusions were reported to the board of trade and ratified. In pursuance of this policy of the board, efforts were made, which resulted unsuccessfully, to ob- tain library legislation irom the last Con- gress. But the circumstances of this fail- ure Were not such as to discourage hopes of a different result in the next Congress, and the library committee has formally re- solved to make an organized movement upon Congress promptly upon the assem- bling of that body, and some preliminary campaigning has already been accom- plished. The board of trade wishes to se- cure a location and maintenance for the library at public expense, whether the place be the new city post office or the new Library of Congress, or meager rented -quarters under an appropriation in the Dis- trict bill, with the hope of a permanent abiding place in the new municipal build- ing that is to be. The board would like to accumulate the miscellaneous books in several of the department libraries into a general departmental library and add to the collection the thousands of non-copy- right duplicates in_ the Congressional Library, which, Mr. Spofford says, can be spared with advantage from the shelves which they now incumber; but if it fails to realize upon one or even both of these sources of supply it will take the loss philosophically, for, if the housing and Maintenance are at. public expense, the private subscriptions, being devoted ex- clusively to the purchase of books, will make a fine showing and create at the out- set a valuable working library. The Board's Plan. It has been, and Is now, the board’s policy to present to Congress assurances of large private subscriptions for books, conditioned upon the housing and maintenance of them as a library by the District, thus using these subscriptions as an inducement to the enactment of the desired legislation. Pro- posing to continue this policy the library committee of the board has discouraged the idea of spending such contributions in the immediate rental of rooms and the hiring of a librarian. There have been, and are now, no revenues in sight with which to buy the .becks, to make attractive the rented rooms and to give work to the librarian. It is feared that the existence of a discredita- ble alleged Mbrary of this sort would be fatal to an effort to secure an adequately equipped library from the next Congress, not only by diverting subscriptions from the book fund to be offered as the contribution of citizens to the public library, but also by giving to unfriendly legislators the op- pertunity to say that the scant attendance at this library, unattractive from lack of books, is a fair measure of the local de- mand for a library, and that the meager support which it receives is a fair measure of the local public interest in such an in- stitution. For these reasons the library committee has by formul resolution dis- couraged the opening of a library until the opportunity has been had next winter to establish a library of the right sort upon a permanent basis through suitable legis- lation, and has endeavored to bring about co-operation of the various subscribers to- ward a free library. Subscribers to the Fund. It Is not to be understood that the board of trade and the annual contributors to the library fund are distinct and opposing forces. These subscriptions were largely made as a result of the board of trade's agitation of the library question, were in- tended by at least some of the subscribers to be utilized in connection with the board of trade’s movement, and among the largest contributors are a number of the members of the board. Omitting recent, subscrip- tions, if any, the list is as follows, the amount set opposite each name to be paid annuaily for five years: Woodward & Lothrop. . $100 b + 100 2 100 > 100 > 100 + 100 ey 50 50 25. 25 Be M.

Keane. a) Dr. W. W. Johnston. a) Francis M. Coulton S201 And sundry smaller subscriptions. Of these subscribers Woodward & Loth- rcp, Crosby S. Noyes, Christian Heurich, Gardiner G. Hubbard, E. Francis Riggs, A. Lisner, John W. Thompson, John Joy Bd- scn, B. H. Warner and Dr. W. W. John- ston are members of the board of trade, and they represent more than half of the total subscription of the named contrib- utors. Everybody, of course, recognizes that these contributors have a perfect right to say how and when they will spend this money, and that nobody besides themselves is warranted in deciding that question for them. It is, however, much to be desired that all the cash and time contributing friends cf the free library project should co-operate and work shoulder to shoulder for the ac- ccmplishment of the common end. And for this reason the library enthusiasts in the board of trade are pleased at the indica- tions that contributors who are not mem- bers of the board will join forces with them instead of pulling in the opposite direction, with possible resulting disaster to both movements. —_—_.__ Burial of the Unknown Suicide. The body of the man who committed sui- cide at the American House ten days ago after he had registered as James C. Wal- ters was buried this afternoon. No one ap- peared to identify or claim the body of the man who turned on the gas and died, and the police are satisfied that Walters was an assumed name. ——— Miners of the Massillon, Ohio, district have been ordered out on May 1 and await orders from the convention in Columbus on May 3.
