From the New York Times. Ex-President Andrew D. White of Cornell University, a member of the Venezuelan boundary commission, was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday. Some have brought his name into politics as a suitable inen to be the next Secretary of State. He is not seeking the appointment, and sald, when a reporter asked him if there was anything to be said on the subject: “No; I simply know what I read in the newspapers. I expect Mr. McKinley will make his own selections for his cabinet, and will choose able men.” “Is Bryanism likely to appear. again in the politics of this country?” “I do not think it will appear in the form it took in the last campaign. I do not be- lieve the democratic party will again be led astray by it. If business improves and general prosperity comes to the country during the -next four years, the issues raised by Bryan and his followers will not appear. The rise in the price of wheat, and the drop in the price of silver toward the close of the campaign, took away all argu- nent from Bryan's cause, and nothing was left for hini and his followers but to at- tempt to arouse class feelings.” E “Is the work of the Venezuelan boundary cemmission about completed?” “There is yet much to be done in the minor details, such as printing and issuing the material the commission has gathered, but the real work for which the commis- sicn was appointed is completed. In view of the recent turn of the affair, It is possi- ble that the report of the commission may not be made. “The commission has served a useful pur- Pose, because it has brought about the besi Way to arrive at the solution of the ques- tion. The commission has worked steadily and has brought together a large mass of important material, classified it, and got- ten it into proper connection with the mat- ter at issue. “Dr. Winsor of Harvard has examined nearly three hundred maps, and has made a careful report. Professor Burr of Cornell has worked in various libraries in this country, at the archives in the Hague and in London, and has sent, from time to time, reports of great value, enabling the com. mission to settle some difficult points. Pro- fessor Jameson of Brown University has studied on special subjects in the libraries in this country and abroad, and has sub mitted reports. Experts ‘have been at work in the archives of the great mission orders in Rome, especially of the Jesuits and Franciscans, and have sent us, from time to time, maps and statements showing extensions of Spanish missions into the dis- puted territory. The certified copies of the most important documents bearing on the case In the Spanish archives have been laid before us. “The commission has prepared probably the hest map ever made of the whole terri- tory between the Orinoco and the Esse- quibp rivers, and in addition, epecial maps whith will be published with the docu- ments to the aumber of twenty or thirty. All of this matter will be transferred to the arbitration tribunal, and cannot fail to be of the greatest use to that body in saving @ vast deal of trouble and great expense. It will also allow that body to discharge its duty in much iess time than it could other- wise have done. The work, therefore, of our Commission has been preliminary ‘and preparatory for the work ts tnianal of the arbitration “The establishment of the arbitration “tribunal has been most honorable to the Present administration, and it seems to me will act as a guarantee of continued peace between the United States and Great Brit- ain. This second great arbitration so clear- ly points the peaceful solution of interna- tional difficulties that peace may be con- sidered as permanently established between the two nations, no matter how difficult the questions which may arise hereafter.” Mr. White said the only question the commission had ndt tguched upon was that of the fifty years’ occupancy of the settlers. That, he added, would have to be settled by expert testimony. ————~+o+____ MACEO SENDS GREETING. He Will Be Able to Withstand Weyler for Some Time. The first direct and authentic news from the mountain camp of General Antonio Maceo that has been received in this coun- try since General Weyler left Havana for the front, twe weeks ago, has just come by special messenger, who stopped at Phil- adelphia. General Maceo sends greetirig to his coun- trymen in the United States and in a few words assures them and the friends of Cuba throughout the country that his band is safe and able for a time at least to take care of itself, no matter what the Span- jards may do. The message is directed to the New York junta and reads: “We have withstood the enemy in many encounters and are prepared for any move he mdy make. We have rendered him much injury and will be able to withstand any of his attacks for some time to come. , ‘Assure our noble friends in the United States that the cause of liberty will not suffer in Pinar del Rio. To those who are friendly to our cause I send greeting. “ANTONIO MACEO.” :The message was dated at the rebel army camp near Las Pozas, on the northern cast, at the farthest western end of the Rubi chain of mountains, along which are the several camps and strongholds of Ma- ceo’s foree. The carrier of the message, whose name is not given out by the Cuban leaders, was a witness of the fight at Artemisa, which was first reported as a great Span- ish victory and later as a drawn battle. “It was a splendid fight,” said the Cuban officer, ‘‘and gave great hope and courage to the entire army. You here in the United States, who read only meager and un- truthful reports, can have no idea of the nature of things in Pinar del Rio. But I will speak more especially of Artemisa, where one of the greatest Cuban victories was won. “Maceo did not use his entire force against the Spaniards, but the latter, who numbered between 6,000 and 8,000, were driven back from the foothills and many of them were slain upon the hard plateau’ before the town. As night came on Maceo ordered two batteries to the brow of the hill and shelléd the town. Fires began in various places in the city and the effect of the cannonading was something wonder- ful. The two dynamite guns did fearful work, some of which I had a chance to witness a few days ago when I passed through the city on my way to Havana. “Artemisa was almost destroyed. You would be surprised at the work of our, cannon. The wails of the city were torn apart and many of the big houses were completely demolished. _ I learned that many were killed during the four hours’ bombardment. ©The loss of the enemy in the city alone was in the neighborhood of 150, according to those with whom I talked hile my brief stay lasted.” —_—_+-e+_____ A Royal Marriage Arranged. A Copenhagen dispatch says that a mar- riage has been arrange between Prince Christian of Denmark, eldest son of Crown Prince Frederick, and Princess Pauline of Wurtemburg, the daughter of King Wil- Ham II of Wurtemburg.

IMPROVEMENT IN COAST DEFENSES Important Matters of Local Inter- 5 est Touched Upon. THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE Secretary Lamont’s report of the opera- tions of the War Department for 1896 shows total expenditures aggregating $51,803,208, of which $13,505,008 was for pay of the army, $1,466, 286 for subsistence, $1,855,258 for_regular quartermasters’ supplies, $620,- 726 for barracks and quarters, $2,321,727 | for army transpcrtation, $1,310,294 for clothing, $1,336,884 for ordnance, $2,867,464 for seacoast denfenses, $17,844,500 for river and harbor improvement, $3,133,181 for na- tioral soldiers’ homes and $1,436,795 for salaries and contir.geucies in the war office at Washirgton. Much of the report is devoted to a de- tailed exhibit of the work accomplished and now under way on the coast defenses as ordered in 1885, On the Ist of July, 1898, of. our modern defense, but one high power gun was mourted. By the Ist of July next we will have in position seventy high power breech- loadirg guns and sixty-five breech-loai- ing mortars of modern design, and by the following July, on completion of work already under way or provided for, 125 guns and 153 mo-tars. A battery of two or three of these guns takes the place of the former pretentious fort and is vastly more effective. Defenses Under Consideration. The defenses now under consideration are distributed among the porte of Port- land, Me.; Portsmouth, N. H.; Boston, Nar- ragensett Bay, eastern entrance to Long Island sound, eastern and southern en- trarces to New York, Philadelphia, Bal- timcre, Washington, Hampton Roads, Wil- mington, Charleston, Savannah, Key West, Pensacola, Mobile, New Orleans, Galves- ton,-San Diego, San Francisco, the mouth of the Columbia river and Puget sound. All of the emplacements have been located with a view to carrying out the project of the Endicott, board on fortifications, or- ganized under the act of Congress of March 3, 1835, as revised by the permanent bourd of engineers. g The total amount appropriated for coast defenses, including cost of sites, fortifica- tions and armament, since the adoption of the present scheme is $26,457,160.33, of which 39,350,000, or more than ‘one-third, was carried by the act passed at the last session of Congress. In allotting this money the department was guided by a desire to protect as many of the seaports as practicable against ma- rauding attacks of isolated cruisers as well as to provide a more efficient defense for the important places, and also to utilize to the best advantage the guns for which carriages could be most speedily furnished. Disappearing Gun Carriages. A very large proportion of emplacements are intended to “receive guns mounted on disappearing carriages. Of the 481 high- power guns to be emplaced, it is proposed to mount only about 48 on the non-dis- appearing principle. By June 30, 1898, there should be 131 gun carriages for the 128 emplacements that will be then ready, and mortar carriages for the 156 emplacements. The total number of guns completed to date since the first appropriation are sixty- one 8-inch, fifty-six 10-inch, twenty-one 12- inch and eighty mortars. With the money already provided there will be completed by June 30, 1897, 72 8-inch guns, 57 10-inch guns, 47 12-inch guns, && 12-inch mortars, and by June 30, Isis, 75 8-inch guns, 168 10-inch guns, 60 12-inch guns, 146 12-inch mortars. Leaving at the latter date still in process of construc- tion 3 8-inch guns, 28 10-inch guns, 32 12- inch guns. ‘The completion of the several component parts—the emplacement, carriage and gun— means the substantial completion of the finished modern fortification, the work of assembling requiring but little time. Next Year's Estimates. The estimates of the department for the next fiscal year aggregate $10,482,208. With this appropriated provision will have been made for— The armament of troops with the new magazine arms was completed in May, and the armory is turning out 135 rifles or car- Tiages per day under the appropriation made last year. All the ammunition for small arms now made is supplied with smokeless powder of American manufac- ture and of satisfactory quality. The total expenditure for river and har- bor improvements ordered by Congress dur- ing the year ending June 30, 186, includ- ing those of the Mississippi and Missouri river commissions, were $17,039,731.51. © In- cluding the amounts appropriated by the act of June 3, 1896, there was available for expenditure on rivers and harbors July 1 $26,020,974.79. Secretary Lamont renews his previous recommendation that the infantry be re- organized on the general idea of three light and mobile battalions of four .com- panies each to the regiment instead of the cumbersome ten-company formation adopt- ed a century ago, and abandoned by other nations since the development of modern magazine rifies, and he quotes Gen, Sher- man, Gen. Sheridan and Lieut. Gen. Scho- field in support of the necessity of this re- organization of the infantry. The Post Exchange. The pest exchange, the general co-opera- tive store, maintained without expense to the government at nearly all military sta- tions, by the enlisted men, in which are kept for sale most of the commodities that are in demand at military posts, is now generally approved. The receipts last year from all sources were more than one and a half million dollars, with net profits of about $350,000. The thirty-five army officers assigned to duty with the National Guard of the states report steady improvement in the militia. Camps of instruction were held in thirty- one states, and in several instances regular troops were encai with the militia. The National Guard aggregated 111,387 o! e@ers and men, of whom 4,716 are in the ar- tillery arm, and 4,936 in the cavalry. To maintain this force the states appropriate $2,880,000, and the federal government $400,- 000 Investigation this year has show serious deficiencies in the arms and equip- ment of the milida. When the states fur- nish the armories and defray all expenses incidential to keeping their forces in train- ing, Secretary Lamont suggests that the United States should provide them with the implements which they will need in active service—arms and field equipment—as the supply on hand is totally inadequate for serious and prolonged field operations. He recommends that the Springfield rite, caliber .45, be issued to state troops, that the states be allowed to return to the War Department obsolete arms and equipments to be sold, and the proceeds credited to the states, and that the states be allowed to purchase from the department supplies at regulation prices. Secretary Lamont closes his report with the following remarks on matters of local interest: The Washington Water Supply. The pressing need of the District of Co- lIvmbia which calls for the immediate at- tention of Congress is early provision for an adequate water supply. While the city of Washington has been exempt from dis- aster or serious distress in this matter, the danger has long been apparent to the offi- cers of this department. A commission ap- pointed by the chief of engineers, ahd com- posed of experts distinguished for their ex- perience and success, examined the ques- tion thoroughly last year, and recommend- ed the completion of the unfinished tunnet and its connecting reservoir as the practi- cal and economical way to promptly meet the emergency. ‘The work of raising the dam at the Great Falls of the Potomac river, the source of supply, to an elevation of 150 feet 6 inches above mean tide, so that at its lowest stage the river would fill the mouth of ihe 9-foot conduit, will be entirely finished within a —==———=—=———=—=—=—=3 few weeks. An increase of 50 per cent tr the supply, of water for the reservoirs will thus be assured, and, with the tunnel and its reservoir finished, the city ‘Washing- ten will have one of the most ample an@ reliable water supplies in the country. Equestrian Statues in Washington. . The equestrian statue of Gen. Hancock ‘was completed early in the present year and dedicated with appropriate exercises, presided over by the President of the United States. The statue of Gen. Logan will be erected in Towa Circle during 1897, and it is ex- pected that the statue of Gen. Sheridan will be erected in the park at the intersec- tion of Pennsylvania avenue and 13th street near the end of that year. The committee of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee having accepted the design for the statue of Gen. Sherman submitted by Carl Rohl-Smith, the com- mission named by law has selected a part of the park south of the Treasury Depart- ment and adjacent to Pennsylvania avenue as & site, and the contract for the work has been executed. . I renew my recommendation that Con- grees make early provision for an appro- priate memorial at the national capital worthy to perpetuate the memory of Gen. Each year demonstrates the desirability of the appointment by the President of a Permanent commission ofemen best qual fied to pass on questions of art, to whom shall be intrusted the selection of designs and sites for the future monuments of the cepital.- The memorials at Washington ought to represent the growing artistic sense of the American people, but it is evi- dent that in numerous instances this has not been realized. Compliance with the Righest standard of excellence, established by experienced and capable Judges, should be exacted. Arlington Memorial Bridge. The favorable consideration which Con- ress at its late session gave to the project for au Arlingten memorial bridge, which has been repeatedly urged by this depart- ment, encourages the hope that this neces- Sary structure will be authorized at the coming session. The bridge is an undis- puted commercial and military necessity as @ means of communication between the banks of the Potomac at W®shington, but its memorial character ought not to be overlooked. The natural site and national associations with it afford the opportunity for a monumental structure unequaled. in beauty and significa: ce. bridge is inadequate and unsigh’ absolutely unsafe. 34 Hall of Records. The rapid expansion of the business of the government renders urgent the need of a hall of records. Fifteen years ago the state, war and navy building was deemed adequate for years to come for all the pur- pores for which it was designed. It is al- ready necessary to rent buildings outside the department for the storage of files and records, and the records and papers which are accumulating in the building crowd more euch year upon the space required tor increasing oftice work. I renew the recom- mendation for the construction of a fire- proof building especially designed for the preservation of such records of the depart- ments as are not required for frequent ure. Such a building should be centrally located between the Executive Mansion and the Capitol, preferably on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue. The plan of Washington permits a sye- tematic arrangement of public »uildings hereafter built, not only convenient Sut im- pressive beyond comparison with regular distribution of the public buildings of foreign capitals. The construction the needed hall of records on the site sug- gested, following the construction of the city post office on that site, may, as here- after the need for other public’ buildings arises, lead to the development of Pennsyl- vania avenue from the Capitol to the Ex- ecutive Mansion into the stateliest thor- oughfare in the world, and at the same time the one best adapted to the transac- tion of official business and best represen- tative of our national characteristic: Sensor eninennencaias A North of Ireland View of It. Frem the Lendonderry (Ireland) Sentinel. The triumph of the democrats would have been little short of disastrous, not only to the best interests of America, but to ita- portant interests in this country as well. Under Mr. McKinley and his party the Con- stitution of the United States will at least be safe, and the credit of the country will remain. The tariffs may rise somewhat; they may even reach the high level from which they were pulled down less than a couple of years ago at Mr. Wilson's initia- tive. But there will be no wholesale repu- diation of national obligations under the specious pretext of altering the money standard. It was at the “free silver” cry of the Bryanites that the country took alarm. The platform was attractive enough to the western farme! who were educated into the belief that “free silver” meant “ransomed farms.” The less stable elements in American society were also at- tracted by the dishonest arguments of the silver democrats, and at one time the dan- ger of these appeals to the lowest instincts being successful began to be seriously ap- prehended. As the days wore on, however, the good sense of the electorate manifested itself, so that on the day of the poll the outcome of the struggle was in little doubt, and it only remained to await the full re- turns. —Se Theta Delin Chi Banquet. The convention of the Theta Delta Chi in New York was closed Wednesday night with the annual dinner of the fraternity at which Willis S. Payne of New York presided. The election of officers held in the after- noon was then made public. Carl A. Har- strom of Norwalk, Conn., was made presi- dent for the third term. John H. Morse of Bowdoin College was elected secretary and Edmund Smith of Cornell, treasurer. Speeches were made by Frederick Carter of Bloomfield, N. J.; Wm. G. Raines of New York, Carl Harstrom, Norwalk, Conn.; Dr. James W. Wightman, New York; Col. Jacob Spahr, Rochester, N. Y.; Prof. 2. W. Huffcut, Cornell; Dr. Daniel Doghert York; Rev. James M. D. Sterrett of this city, Frederick Goodwin, New York; Geo. Lakyer, Albany, N. Y.; Samuel R. Hayter, Harvard. The annual poem was read by Rev. Dr. James W. Wightman. rican Hawaii and a Pacific Cable. The Associated Press advices from Hono- lulu to the effect that the Hawaiian gov- ernment has refused to grant further con- cessions to the Pacific Cable Company, were shown to Mr. Cooper, the minister of foreign affairs in Hawaii, who was in Bos- ton yesterday. Mr. Cooper said: “It is undoubtedly true that the Hawaiian government refused to grant further con- cessions to the company. The company wanted assistance from the United States as well as from the Hawaiian government. Neither of these had been agreed to when I left Hawaii October 20. These later nego- tiations between the company and the gov- ernment have all taken place since I cxme away, so that I do not know hing about them. Nothing can now be done un- til the next session of congress, which comes next yea en ees War on the Cigarette. The coming Illinois legislature will asked to pass laws prohibiting sale of cigarettes, placing saloons in counties, towns and wards, under lo- cal option, and compelling observance of the Sabbath. The National Christian Citizenship League is preparing to do the asking, and the officers say they will be backed up in their request by all good peo- ple in the state. A special legis mittee will prepare the bills their tntroduction in their assembly. - — Col. Forsyth’s Condition.
