An adverse report was made today by the District Commissioners upon the amend- ment intended to be proposed by Senator Pritchard to House bill 6148, to amend the charter of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company. The amendment proposes to authorize any railroad company duly empowered to use an underground electric system to lay conduits, ete. The Commissioners state that it 1s under- stood the Senate committee on appropria- tions is opposed to general legislation of this character, and to the authorization for the construction of any conduits for elec- tric ight and power purposes, except in specific cases. As the general trend of legislation with regard to construction of conduits for such purposes has, say the Commissioners, been toward a close limita- tion of such construction under special au- thority granted in each case, it does not seem desirable to the Commissioners to open up the question by permitting any particular railway company to construct conduits in such streets of the city as it may desire, and as may meet the approval of the Commissioners. a Exempted From Taxation. The District Commissioners today di- rected that the land occupied by the East Washington Heights Baptist Church be ex- empt from taxation from July 1, 1896, and 80 long thereafter as it is used for its pres- ent religious purposes. The tract is known as part of Naylor Farm, and contains 67- 100 of an acre. THE WEEK ENDING War was practically d¢clar i between the United States and Spain during the week. Congress passed a joint resolution declar- ing that the people of Cuba are free and independent, and demanding that Spain withdraw her troops from the island. ‘The President was authorized and directed to use the acmed forces of, the United States to enforce the demand. In conformity with the resolution President, McKinley served notice on the Spanish minister here that Spanish troops must bg Withdrawn from the island, and giving until Saturday for Spain to make reply. Minister Polo y Ber- nabe at ence asked for his ‘passports und proceeded to Canada, turning over the af- fairs of his government to;the French min- ister. As soon as the government at Mad rid was advised of the action of this gov- ernment, Minister Woodford was handed his passpotis. While en route to the French frontier his train was attacked and stoned by a mob at Valladolid. At another station the Spanish authorities attempted to arrest a member of the minister's staff, and only desisted when they were informed that the secretary was a British subject. Congress passed a bill authorizing the President to call for volunteers for the war with Spain. The first hostile act was com- mitted on Friday, when the United States cruiser Nashville captured the Spanish merchantman Buena Ventura and towed the prize into Key West. Admiral Samp- son's fleet sailed from Key West early Friday morning to blockade the ports of Cuba. A semi-official note was issued in Madrid to the effect that the untimatum from the United States constituted a dec- laration of war, and that the Spanish fleet was already on its way to meet that of the United States. The cruiser New York captured the Spanish freighter Pedro Bil- bea near Havana. Th2 Spanish cortes were opened with a great patriotic demon- etration. The Queen Regent's address de- clared that the complications brought about by a section of the people of the United States were not the sentiments of the true American nation, but, should the govern- ment of the United States yield to the blind current, the Spanish government would be compelled, in defense of the na- tional dignity, to sever relations with the United States. The Spanish authorities began fortifying the Canary Islands and arranging accommodations for 6,000 addi- ticnal troops. It was reported that the Spanish government was again trying to raise a loan of $4,000,000 with English banking houses. Cuban insurgents under Pizo attacked and destroyed a Spanish fort at Espujarosa, Pinar del Rio province. The United States squadron at Hong Kong started to attack the Philippine Islands. The Spanish cruisers Vizcaya and Almi- rante Oquendo arrived at St. Vincent to reinforce the Spanish fleet there. The United States cruiser Topeka sailed from England for the United States. Seven yachts were bought by the Navy Depart- ment for the auxiliary navy. Captain Sigs- bee tock’ formal charge of the St. Paul at Philadelphia. The old monitors Montauk and Lehigh went into commission. The Spanish government forwarded to all the Spanish ambassadors a memorandum to submit to the foreign governments, saying the responsibility for war rests with the United States. The mobilization of the regular army at southern points was nearly completed. Domestic. Postmaster General Gary submitted his resignation to President McKinley, who ac- cepted it and appointed Emory Smith, ed- itor of the Philadelphia Tress, to succeed him. An Indian uprising was report2d to be threatening near Fort Sim, I. T., by Ger- cnimo and his band. Three‘men were killed in a freight wreck onthe New York Cen- tral at Fairport, N.Y... ‘oreign. Rumors were r>newed in London that Great Britain had begun negotiations for an alliance with the United States in for- eign affairs. Mr. Gladstone's condition con- tinued serlous, and Rev. Stephen Gladstone, in Hawarden Church, requested the praye of the congregation for his father. Pres dent San of Haiti and President Henreux of San Domingo agreed to submit their h pute to the pope. Sir. Michael ach, chanc2tlor of the exchequer, presented the bud in the house of com- dent Crespo of Venezuzla was killed in a battle with insurgents. A bust of the late Lord Randolph Churchill was unveiled in the British house of commons. In the District. The electric equipment of the Navy Yard branen of the Capital Traction road was completed and the rapid transit service was installed over every portion of that tem save the 7th et branch, on which the electric equipment is practically com- pleted. Druggists of the District were noti- fied by the telephone company that they would b2 henceforth obliged to sign con- tracts guaranteeing an income of $10 a month from the slot telephones, whereupon they decided to resist this demand and to enforce their position by refusing to permit the use of their roofs by the telephone com- pany for the stringing of wires. On account of the continued success of the Masonic fair its managers decided to extend it until Wednesday, April 27. The Colonial Dames held their fourth annual session in this city. Otto Klatt, foreman on tha work at the Aqueduct bridge, was crushed to death by a falling derrick boom. Martin Cronin, formerly chief engineer of the fire depart- ment, committed suicide by shooting. Thad- deus Jon2s, colored, unsuccessfully attempt- ed suicide. Among those who died wes United States Senator Edward C. Walthall of Mississipp!. ++ =____ Prefer to Postpone Action, Mr. Theo. A. Harding several days ago requested that a plank walk be laid on the north side of Columbia road from 14th street. The District Commissioners today wrote Mr. Harding that they consider it advisable to defer action for a few months, pending the decision of Congress concern- ing street extension matters. There is every reason to belteve, the Com- missioners state, that the question will be settled at an early date, and that the in- terests of all persons concerned can best be served by waiting to ascertain the action of Congress. eee eee Watchman and Laborers Appointed. The District Commissioners have apointed Fred W. Jones clerk and watchman at the municipal lodging house, vice Tompkins, resigned. The Commissioners have also ap- pointed Henry Naylor a laborer in the scar- let fever and diphtheria serv.ce, at $1.25 a day. FRIENDS.
