Handful of Cavairymen Ride Into the Heart of the Spanish Camp and Escape. A special to the New York World from Havana, Cuba, yesterday says: A few in- surgents raided Casa Blanca, within rifle shot of the palace of General Blanco, on Sunday morning. They stayed almost two hcurs azd Icoted a store within a stone’s throw of the Cabanas fortress. They camped in broad daylight within a quarter of @ mile and in full sight of the big floating dock, and they evaded squadrons of cavalry and a double line of fort garrisoris in going back to the country. = Meanwhile another part of the same force raided Cojimar, near Guanabacoa. At midday both forces united and reach- It was the most daring raid of the war. The point reached ‘in Havana is a large village nestling under the walls of there are no guards in thé place itself, between it and the country fs a district four miles broad which is filled with troops. The dozen insurgents were of Arangu- en’s party. They entered Casa Blanca at 1 a.m, passing within one hundred yards of fort No. 4 of the Cabana fortress, and tcok food, clothing, shoes and medicine ‘Then they fired a volley across the nar- row strip of water at Genera! Blanco’s pal- ace and retreated amidst a tremendous fu- aaa but none is known to have been ied. * They camped at Ingenito, a small sugar = fe in ruins just outside the fort, until a.m. Two squadrons of the Pizarro cavalry away. Their shots were heard, of course, all over Havana and caused _ consternation. Now the raid is the talk of the town. Some Spanish officers are likely to be General Blanco is said to be extremely in- censed. 4 A battalfon of Havana police arrived on the scene too late, having been delayed The party which attacked Cojimar had @ lively fight. Many Spanish Thankegiving Day on the Street and in the Home. Prisoners Were Remembered at the Jail and Workhouse—Citi- zens Go to Games. Thanksgiving day, 1897, was celebrated In Washington quietly but generally, no seri- ous accidents and the commission of no serious offence being reported up to a late hour this efterncon. Yet the day was not only spent in the giving of thanks at the various places of worship, in the discussion of the turkey and the innumerable good things which accompany him to the table, but also in the enjoyment ,of sports and games and theater-going. At the charita- ble institutions and at the prisons extra dills of fare were served, and everything possible done to properly celebrate the day. There were foot ball games, horse racing at the Brightwood Park and golf contests; there was visiting and promenading, and free dinners at many places for the poor and hun ones. The great business houses closed early in the day, or all day, and wherever possible the day was made one of enjoyment. In many instances employes were remem- bered by their employers in the shape of great, fat turkeys, Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop, proprietors of the Boston House, distributing among their married employes Jast evening eighty-six fine turkeys, a cus- tem which is followed every year by these gentlemen, both of whom are from “down east.” At the Dorcas Mission, 346 Pennsylvania avenue, Evangelist Cuddy and wife, Mrs. Etta J. Webster and Mrs. Anna E. Brown provided a fine dinner for the poor, the liberality of merchants and others having amply provided for the dinner. The Tempcrary Home for ex-Union Sol- diers and Sailor’, at 305 Missouri avenue, provided an exccllent breakfast and dinner for the guests of the home. + The prisoners ct the jail were served with a turkey dinner, and general visiting was permitted. The same course was pur- sued at the workhouse, while the boys and girls in the District reform schools were served with turkey and many other deli- cacies, and the day was given up to games. Twe Days Celebratéd in New York. NEW YORK, November —New York- ers have the advantage of celebrating two holidays in one. This is not only Thanks- giving day, but also Evacuation day, the day when is celebrated the departure from New York of the British troops. Ibvacua- tion day ts a local holiday, and is generaily observed by the Old Guard and the local militia. The Oid Guard observed the day as usual by marching from its headquar- ters down to the Battery, where tre exer- cises of raising the flag were followed as usual. ‘The Old Guard was escorted by a detach- ment of the United States regulars from Governor's Island. Fiag raising exercises also occurred at the Bleck House at Central Park. Great preparations had been made to feed the poor by the commissioners of cnarities and corrections and the eleemo- synary institutions of this city, and ne went hungry. The striking feature of tne day was the absence of any great sporting event in the city. Thanksgiving was the day when the tinal great foot ball eventgwas contested in this city, but there are fo games or con- tests of any note here today. ——.___ OWNERSHIP OF CANAL ROAD. im That the 1 Company Never Had Legal Title. In view of the recent difficulty as to the ownership of the Canal road, an old plat has been consulted, a copy of which was recently presented to the Commissioners, and the original of which was recorded many years ago in W. B. 55 of the land recerds of the District, which is said to show that the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company has no control in the highway at ail. The map in question was recorded in 1820, being made by Francis Fenwick, er., “who occupied a position at that time equal to that of the District surveyor of today. ‘The Chesapeake and Ohio canal was noi commenced until 1825, when John Quincy Adams upturned the first spadeful ¢f earth. The canal was completed about 183 The map of 182) shows what was known as Falis road, which was absorbed by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and the thor- oughfare now known as the extension of M street was bent to the norih at the cor- ner of what was then called Gay street, now Lingan or 36th street, and pa: through present square 31 at a point 1sv feet south of Prospect street, corner of Warren street, now and continuing westerly and at intersecting Prospect street extealed at a point on the Canal road under which now passes what is known as the culvert of Foundry branch. The giving to the canal company of the right to use Canai road is something which many of the citizens of this place say the Commissioners had no right to do. The canal company absorbed Falls sircet, be- tween the two thoroughfares then known as Warren and Fish sire now 37th aud road was simply the removai of <his street some little dis.ance north of the waterway. It is said the canal company ever had eny interest in or title to this roal whatever. The corporation simply replaced w had desiroyed. This recorded map also show: sicn of Prospect street, with ail the exten- 8 recorded lots; also the extension of N street west- ward to the intersection of a street known then as Rock street, but now the Foxhall read. It showed also the extension o street through to Warren street, now 37th sireet, then skipping the intermediate squares of College and Fish streets in the old piat, commenced immediately west of Georgetown University and ran throagh to what was known as Mill street, immeciate- ly north of the old foundry. P and Q streets are extended through to what was known at the time as College street, now 38th street, if that higaway shall ever be raade, three squares west of the front of the Academy of Visitation. The sireets then known as Gay, Warren and College streets, now known as 36th, h and 38th gtreets, were extended chrougn to one block horth of Q street, the latter being inter- rupted by a_ reservation marked off for Georgetown University. All of this map is still on record. The closing of the Canal road at leaves only present one entrance te Georgetown from the west. Those who have been vsing the Canal road are obliged to go several miles out of their way by :aking the New Cut road, these being the only two western entrances to the city. Ss ALASKA TIMBER CUTTING. The President Expected to Deal With It in His Message. The President in his message will, it is expected, devote more attention to Alaska than has been given to the big territory heretofore since its purchase. It is known that the executive will recommend speedy legislation to secure the best possible gov- ernment for Alaska, and that he will also take occasion to point out the difficulties which the people are under and will urge that something should be done to protect the property of the government. In this connection he will refer to the fact that the government is losing large sums because there is no way of protect- ing the timber from indiscriminative use. Commissioner Hermann of the general land office has submitted information on this point to the President, and has also changes in the laws relating to the permit system for cutting timber in other sections. At present large companies and corpora- tions are cutting timber under the permit system suppose... for use in the mines, but the commissioner has information that train load after train load of lumber has taken from the forest and placed in tHe lumber yards in various cities and towns and never used for IGENERALLY RECOGNIZED] THE ORPHANS GET TURKEY Wards of the Several Tharitable Institu- tions Liberally Supplied. Donati = Made by the Benevolent Minded Farnish Good Cheer to the Li le Ones, While others were eating their Thanks- siving turkey in the city and enjoying themselves, the orphan children of the city and those dependent on the charity of the more fortunzte were not n&glected. The little ones had looked forward to this €ay above all others for weeks—months in some cases—and they were not disappoint- ed at what it brought them. A visit to several of the charitable insti- tutions by a Star reporter discovered the fact that the feast bird of the nation was present at all of them. No sooner was en- trance gained to the inside than the appe- tizing odor of roast turkey told more strongly than anything else that this main object of a Thanksgivii - caren: ‘sgiving dinner was se- The query: “Of course the children have!” “Turkey and plenty of it,” was the i variable response. In addition, their palates were tickled oy many other delicactes. The youngsters at St. Joseph's Boys’ Asylum, on H street between 9th and 10th streets had a bountiful repast spread be- fore them. For a week or more donations had been received at the institution from benefactors and the table today held many of these, which had been prepared in the culinary department of the asylum in a manner culeted to raise an appetite in those most indifferent as to edibles. A huge turkey, with others of lesser degree, reposed on the table, and there was more than enough to satisfy the hungriest of the hundred boys who sat down at the board at o'clock sharp. Their faces were bright, and their appetites could be expressed only by the one word prodigious. Variety of Relishes. Besides the turkey there were all sorts of vegetables, celery and cranberry sauce to go with the turkey. For dessert there was mince pie, and succeeding supper, which will be served at 5 o'clock, there will be ice cream and cake. This was donated for the youngsters with the other mate- rial for the Thanksgiving dinner. So much was sent in that it will last for several days. The boys attended services at St. Pat- rick’s Church at 9 o'clock and returned in time to get ready for the long-expected noonday meal. At St. Vincent’s Female Orphan Asylum, 10th and G streets, the same proceedings were indulged in as at the other. The girls were all pinks of neatness, and seemed to enjoy their turkey and other objects of the Thanksgiving feast fully as much as their brothers 2round the corner on H street. Their knives and forks played a sweeter tune to their ears than that fur- nished by the finest band. Dinner was served at noon, and the girls attended services at St. Patrick's in the morning. The donations for the dinner were inade, one of the sisters stated, by three persons. She did not think, she said. that the peo- ple in general had responded liberally as they might have, but there was plenty to eat and to spare. Some of the children went out to dinner with friends and vela- tives, but the majority of them ate at the asylum. A Pathetic Scene. It was a pathetic scene out at the Child- en’s Hospital. All of the children who were able were allowed to come down into the dining room at noon. A bounteous repast was served, and eyes which had become dulled at the ravages of disease became bright, and wan cheeks took on the rosy hue of health at the excitement and the prespect of being able to take part in Thanksgiving in some manner. Flowers on the table, donated by thought- ful friends, brightened the appearance of everything, and the children appeared to be happier than they had been for a long time. The materials for the dinner were furnished by friends of the institution. Tur- key was a prom:nent dish. ———— CORBETT AND FITZ TO MEET.

GALVESTON, Texas, November About 10 o’clock last night Seth Carter shot and killed his sweetheart, Alberta Brack- ley, and then fired one shot at himself, which missed. Then he threw the revolver away and cut his throat with a razor. Af- ter this he walked from the scene of the to the police station, almost a nd surrendered. Carter's wounds are not regarded as fatal. a McKINLEY IN GOLD. A Proposed Attraction for the Paris Exposition. F. D. Higby of Chicago, who designed and built the silver statue of Ada Rehan for the world’s fair, was in New York yeste: day, on his way to this city, to try to s: cure the consent of President McKinley to pose for a statue for the Paris exposition, to be made of solid gold. Mr. Higby thinks he will be successful in securing the con- sent of the President. The statue, if built, will be life-size, and will contain’ gold to’ the bullion value of $1,050,000, the most costly lump of precious metal the world has ever seen. Mr. Higby says he has been retained by western millionaires to do the work; that while the primary object is to exhibit the statue at the Paris exposition, in 1900, the directors of the Pan-American expositior., to be held in Cayuga Island, in 1809, are anxious to have it completed in time to exhibit there. Mr. Highby will not divulge tae names of the capitalists at the back of the en- terprise, but says there are a half-dozen of them, and work is to begin so soon as the design is completed.
