Williams, surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen’s Hospital, has written to Mr. McMillan, chairman of the Senate commit- tee on the District of Columbia, regarding the affairs of the institution under his con- trol. Dr. Williams sa “On taking charge of this hospital three years ago an attempt was made to reor- fanize it and bring {t up to date in its workings as far as our appropriations To that end, under the direc- tion of the Secretary of the Intérior, a training school for the education of colored women as nurses has been successfully conducted, and one class Was ‘already: been graduated, thereby opening up a field of which they have never had before and: which they never could have outside the Freedmen’s Hospital. “The money that was paid to officials was divided among more than forty colored wo- men in quest of a practical education. Five young men, medical graduates, were the practical work of the hospital under the direction of a staff appointed and working without compensation. There has also been created and added to the Freedmen’'s Hos pital a quick service ambulance for the use of any one in need in the District of Colum- bia. These things have been done without any Increase in the appropriation, and to make a change in the controlling affairs of this hospital would work irremedial arm.” Dr. Williams says that in making up a schedule for the appropriation for his hos- pital it had been suggested that the un- hecessary offices of the surgeon-in-chief 1 his assistants be done away with, end that a superintendent at a salary of from $1,000 to $1.2 per annum would discharge the duty of the office: satisfactority, and after the plan of all other medern hospitals allow the difference between this amount and the sum appropriated to be used“In the training school for nurses and for mis- cellaneous experses.

So eke ARGUMENT FOR THE LIQUOR DEALERS Major Butterworth Speaks for the Brewers. porte MR. CANFIELD’S REPLY ee eg ‘The hearing on the Morse bill before the Senate subcommittee continued yesterday afternocn until 4:30 o'clock, and at the time The Star’s report closed ex-Represen- tative George C. Hazleton was beginning his argument for the liquor dealers. He spoke in detail against the various amend- ments, and said that the present law 1s about the best which can be placed on the statute books. ‘There will never come a time,” he said, “when there will not be dis- satisfaction with existing laws to regulate the sale of whisky.” The new law, he said, involves radical changes which are of no benefit. He characterized as a fatal defect the proposition to grant an appeal from the beard of assessors. The anti-saloon men were on their met- tle during the arguments, and injected many pointed questions for Mr. Hazleton to answer. They followed the same course during the speech of Maj. Ben. Butterworth, and showed a thorough knowledge of the liquor laws in the various states of the country. Before Mr. Hazleton concluded he rasped with more than usual severity the part of the new law which makes it necessary for the district attorney to prosecute on the information of any two witnesses. He said that it was not even proposed that these witnesses should be reputable people, but that the most unreliable and disreputable people had it in their power to force a prosecution on any pretext. They could do so with malice, but it was mandatory on the prosecuting officer to take action. He knew of no law which did not allow a pros- ecuting attorney discretion. Calling atten- tion to the proposition for removing screens, Mr. Hzzleton said that if the sell- ing of whisky was such a disgrace he did not think it proper that children and grown peonle going along the streets should see the evils talked about. Mr. Jordnn for the Liquor Dealer. Edward president of the Liquor Deai lation, said that he didn't have time to go into the question seriatim, but wanted to comment on sev- eral features of the proposed new law. One of these was that requiring saloon men to annually secure signatures. He spoke of this as a hardship, and intimated that it was corrupting to the morals of people who were annually called upon to sign petitions. He intimated that saloon men frequently have to put up money to secure these signatures. Besides this,pres- ents have tebe frequently made. Saloon men, he sat, were afraid to collect bills from neighbors because of the danger of opposition to thelr petitions when the time arrived. License had to be secured in November, and {t was often necessary for a saloon man to begin work on his pett- tions in July. He had had his petitions travel all over Europe and Asia in search of property owners. Asked by Senator Faulkner what objec- tion he had to screens, he said that pei sonally he had no objection, as he believed in the utmost publicity. He said, however, that many saloon men have provided them. selves with ornamental screens at large cost. It would be wrong to require them to remove these. Rev. Walter Breoks mentioned the law forbidding the sale of liquor to habitual drunkards and to men under the influ- ence of Iquor, and asked if the screens were taken avay, woulon’t the violation of th!s law be more easily observable? Mr. Jordan answered that he did not think so, and said the inspector was con- tinually dropping in on the saloon men to watch for violations. “One inspector?” sarcastically asked Mr. Brooks, to which Mr. Jordan answered by saying that he ran a respectable place, which he was satisfied some of the anti- saloon people were aware of, as he bad seen some of their faces in his place. Tals produced laughter. The antl-saloon men wanted Mr. Jordan to name the visitors, but he did not do so. Maj. Butterworth for the Brewers. Major Butterworth said he appeared for the Brewers’ Association. He began by saying that an impractical goed 1s worse than a moderately bad thing. He said the new law pretended to regulate the whisky business, when its intention was to de- stroy it. These positions were irreconcil- able. Majer Butterworth took up the prop- ositions separately, discussing each one. He particularly objected to the brewers being placed in the same category with re= tail deal He aid not believe in taxing a man for a business which he didn't carry on. He also urged the injustice, as he explained, of requiring brewers to close at 12 o'clock at night- saying they could not shut down theit furnaces without det- riment ‘to their’ 88. He touched on 4ahe various other features, saying, among Other things, that the-provisions requiring aignatures to be secured every year was placing. a,premium opdthe levying of con- 4ributions from the saloon men. Major Butterwrt! S$ plied .with nu- ‘fierous questions by the antf-saloon leaders end wax kept busy anawering their ques- tions. He had a tilt with A. B. Shoemaker, the young attorney, @mithe point of allo the a corner man to pu: a stop to the loca- tion of a saloon wh®e-everybody else on the square might be in favor of it.

The arti-saloon meh had twenty minutes In which to conclude. A part of this time Was taken up by A. N. Canfield, who gave some figures from tHe report of the super- Intendent of Polic® cn the drunkenness of children and of minors. “He dwelt on this violation of the law Strongiy, as well as on ‘the fact that wht&ky fs sold to intoxicated men. He said that it was'sometimes neces- sary for a community to be ‘protected against Its protector’, He spoke of police- men having“been ‘discipliiied for drunken- ness ang intimated that there were nnmer- ous cases where no punishment had been inflicted at all. Ifscreens were. removed it could be seen whether policemen were in saloons getting whisky, and they could also see Whether the law Was being violated as to othe Rev. W. F. Crafts spoke earnestly in fa- vor of the new law, which, he said, was one of the mildest he had ever known.

They were not anxious about the hearthstones of this’ country. He argucd for the new bill in every pariicular. euih Eat ees PRESIDENT, PALMA‘S MANIFESTO. Independence, Net Reforms, Now the Cubans’ Aim, Thomas Estrada Palma, president of the Cuban junta, last night issued the follow- ing statement: « “So much -has tately- been said of the probability of the termination of the Cu- ban revolution by the acceptance on the part of the Cubans. of autonomy or re- forms, that I feel it incumbent upon me, as the accredited representative of the Cubans, to make a brief statement on the subject. “Reforms were passed by the Spanish cortes, but the outbreak of this revolution was not thereby stayed one hour. There was, and fs, but one idea for which the Cubans are fighting. We have had. enough of so-cailed reforms, enough of promised autonomy, Every intelligent man» would rightly condemn the leaders and partici- pants in this movement if. anything short of independence was the basis of a treaty of peace with Spainz it is claimed that Gen. Gomez is willing to treat with Spain on the basis of autonomy. and that a letter to that effect has been received by me. There is no such letter. Knowing Gen. Gomez as a comrade inthe last revolution: knowing his opinions as expressed to me before and during thix-war; knowing his stainless patriotism—b can vouch for him. He is made of too stern a material to su render on any suchsi'terms, particularly when, in his last letters to me, he writes contentedly of his resources, and glowingly of his convictions, that this winter's cam- paign will be most successful. “The leader who pi ed peace under the Spanish flag, would, find himself with- out followers. No trealy of peace can be made by the ‘Cubans tnless ratified by a spectally convened assembly. Every Cuban, every American knows that the apparent generous and conciliatory spirit of Spain springs not from her strength, put from her weakness. How an we, under the cumstances, ‘be expéutad to waver? ‘If the Cubans in the field are-too. strong 10 evan consider such preposals, tire Cubans im the cities are.teo well advised of Spain's plans and Spain's preearious situation to counsel this step, ” ~The junta also gives out a list of Cuban citizens in Guanapacoa, who, it charges, were murdered during the past week. It also says: “They were all honest people and of good antecedents, their only. crime. be- ing that of being Cubans. The murders have occurred with such frequency that tha townspeople, fear-stricken, fled from the town, and tradesmen of Guanabacoa, all Spaniards, have called and complained to Lieutenant General Ahumada in order to stop the emigration, not through human- ity, but because their interests suffered.” a What a Populist Club Wants.
