Mr. R. L. Preston recently applied for 2 rmit to erect a house, to be known as 18th street. The adjoining owner is ‘Mr. R. F. Shepard, who has built entirely 6n hts lot above the foundation. Mr. Pres- (ton desired to use Mr. Shepard's wall, and (the attorney held that he could do so. Thereupon Mr. Shepard called the atten- tion of che Commissioners to the fact that the provosed building would rise higher than his (Shepard's), and the matter was @gain referred to the attorney for the Dis- net.

He explains that his first opinion proceeded upon the assumption that Mr. Preston’s house was to be of no greater heigh than Mr. Shepard's, and that the latter's wall, while entirely on his own land above the foundation, could nevertheless be treated by Mr. Preston as a party wall. It now appears, the District's law officer contin- ues, that Mr. Presten’s house is to be of a greater height than Mr. Shepard's, and that Mr. Preston’s plans contemplate the raising of Mr. Shepard's wall to the height Of the new house proposed to be built. In other words, Mr. Preston proposes to build @ new wall upon the top of Mr. Shepard's wall in addition to inserting beams in the old wall. There is, the attorney for the District Says, a manifest difference between using the existing wall by inserting beams into it and raising its height. In tha latter case, he points out, Mr. Preston would be build- ing a new wall entirely upon another man’s land, whereas in the former case he would simply be appropriating an existing wall wholly on another man’s land, which th owner had elected to construct. Stating that he has been unable to find any adjudg- ed case in which the doctrine of party wall has beea carried to the extent proposed by Mr. Pr2ston, the attorney for the District says that while {t is clear to him that Mr. Preston has the right to treat Mr. Shep- ard’s existing wall as a party wall, it is not plain that he has the right to add to the height of that wall. Therefore, the at- torney holds that Mr. Preston is not en- titled to a building permit authorizing him to add to the height of Mr. Shepard’s wall. In accordance with their attorney’s opin- ion, the Commissioners will grant a permit to Mr. Preston with the restriction that no increase in the height is to be made to the wall in question, which is to be treated as a party wall. ie POSTAL SERVICE INVESTIGATION. Bill Passed by the House to Create a Congressional Commission. In the House of Representatives yester- day asteraoon the bill to increase the num- ber of surgeons in the army was called up by Mr. Hull (Iowa) and passed. It pro- vides for an increase of fifteen assistant surgeons with the rank of first lieutenant, to be appointed after examination by an army medical examining board. It also authorizes the surgeon general, with “the approval of the Secretary of War, to ap- point In emergencies as many contract surgeons as may be necessary. A resolution from the Senate providing for the adjust:nent and settlement of claims and counter claims between the United States and the state of Tennessee, was passed. Mr. Loud (Cal.) called up a resolution providing for the creation of a congression- al commission to make an exhaustive ex- amination into the postal service Te- port to Congress. In support of the resolu- tion Messrs. Loud and Fleming (Ga.) said that frequent statements had been. made in Congress and the press abuses that had grown up in the service and the field was apparently one inviting investigation.

RUSHING NAVY WORK TE BGN °MARCHE “AD.”---THE BON [IARCHE “AD.”--- THE BON [IARCHE “AD.” ee 2 Horry Orders Issued on Cruisers Yankee and Prairie. WAINWRIGHT'S COMMAND EW Guardsmen at Camp Black in Need of More Tents. PRESENT FOR THE HARVARD NEW YORK, May 3.—At the navy yard here today the mechanics and other work- men were instructed to hurry to a finish the alterations and improvements which are being made on the auxiliary cruisers Yankee and Prairie. From all appearances the Yankee will be able to sail Thursday, but the Prairie will scarcely be ready be- fore Saturday. The monitor Nahant has had her new Wooden deck covering completed and the men are now at work setting up a super- structure on wkich a secondary battery of two rapid-fire guns will be mounted. It is expected that the monitor, as well as the Yankee and Prairie, will join the coast de. fense fleet under the command of Commo- dore Howell. Wainwright Gets the Corsair. Lieut. Commander Richard Wainwright, Who was executive officer of tie Maine at the time that vessel was blown up, was at the commandant’s office today. He will assume command of the auxiliary cruiser Corsair as soon as that vessel reaches the yard. The Corsair is now at the Quintard Company's yard and will be brought over to the Wallabout basin this evening or to- morrow morning. The Topeka, which ar- rived at the navy yard last evening, will be docked toward the end of the week and thoroughly overhauled, after which her guns will be mounted and she will be turn- ed over to her new commander, Lieut. Commenéer Cole. The side-wheeler Resolute, formerly the Yorktown, will be ready for a crew to- morrow. Her crew will be composed of naval reserves, but the vessel will not be ready for sea duty until the latter part of next week. The auxiliary cruiser Badger, formerly the Ward line steamer Yumuri, will be manned by New Jersey naval re- serves, and she is expected to anchor off Tompkinsville tomorrow or ‘Thursday. About fifty marines and bluejackets from Newport, R. L., arrived on the Fall River line boat today and were transferred to the receiving ship Vermont. Examining Volunteer Officers. Owing to a scarcity of staff and line offi- cers four examining boards were formed at the commandant's office today for the Purpose of examining volunteers who de- sire positions as officers in the line and different corps. The chief officers of the four boards are Captain Snow for the line and Inspector Wright, Medical Inspector Babin and Passed Assistant Engineer Burd. Tents Are Overcrowded. The voluntzers of the National Guard at Camp Black, Hempstead Plains, L. I., spent an uncomfortable night in overcrowded tents. There was need of 250 more tents than were on the grounds. When the men turned out at taps this morning many of them complained of colds and stiff joints and other ailments. The raw recrults, wi» came to the camp scant- fly clad, especially suffered from the cold, damp weather, The War Department will send ample ra- tions, including hard bread, white beans, bacon, beef and ‘rice, salt, pepper, sugar and coffee. Articles of food listed in the army as “luxuries” will be furnished to those who car? to buy them at cost price. These will include fresh meats and vegeta- bles and canned goods. Quiet at Chickamanga Park. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May 3.—Nothing of especial interest occurred at Chicka- mauga Park today. Gen. Brooke, with his staff and all the officers who could leava their commands, spent the morning in the elty viewing the big parade given in honor of the opening of Chattanooga's annual spring festival. The 1st Regiment Cavalry, 700 men, under command of Col. Arnold, marched into th2 city at an early hour and participated in the parade. Nothing which indicates a removal of the troops is yet in evidence. The paymaster of the depart- ment is expected during the n2xt few days. He will bring about $125,000 with him. Presentation for the Harvard. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 3.—J. H. Per- kins, president of the senior class of Har- vard University, has called a mass ineet- ing of all the students for tomorrow night to consider the matter of making an appro- priat> presentation to the United States auxiliary cruiser which has been named in henor of the university. It is expected that the undergraduates will present a stand of colors, while the senior class will give a brenze bas relizf with fitting Inscription. Guarding a Powder Mill. VALPARAISO, Ind., May 3.—Armed men. are guarding the powder mills at “Miller Station, this county, day and night, for fear the works may be blown up by some Span- ish sympathizer.

She Had Officers, Troops and War Material Aboard—Spanish Violate Flag of Truce. A dispatch from Key West, Fla, last night says: One of the most important captures made since’ the outbreak of hostil- ities was that_of the Spanish steamer Argo- nauta by the gunboat Nashville last Fri- day, The Argonauta ‘had on board Col. Corijo of the 8d Spanish Cavalry, his first lieutenant, sergeant major, seven other Meutenants and ten privates and non-com- missioned officers. All were held as prison- ers of war. The steamer also carried a large cargo of arms and Mauser ammunition. She was bound from Batabano,-Spain, for Cienfue- gos, stopping at Port Louia, Trinidad, and Manzanillo. The capture of the Argonauta was most exciting, and resulted in the lit- tle auxiliary cruiser Eagle being fired on, while under a flag of truce, by a Spanish torpedo boat and two torpedo boat de- Stine Nashville, the Marblehead and the Eagle were blockading Cienfuegos. They spent Thursday reconnoitering, and the next morning (Friday),.in order to get bet- ter information, steamed close to the mouth of the harbor of Cienfuegos. The Eagle was to the eastward, and in the van. The Marblehead was slightly in the rear, and the Nashville to the westward. All were cleared for action. Spanish Soldieys Captured. At about 10 o'clock in the morning smoke was seen rising on the western horizon, and the Nashville, because of her position, put on all speed, and steamed in that direction. Twenty-five minutes later she put two shots across the bow of the coming steam- er, which promptly hove to. Ensign Kuenzil was sent with a prize crew of nine, and i Spaniard. Learning shah ere on board, wort them $2 es asta bate peel as pris- of war, and ¢ . . ovAfter the Eagle, Marblehead and the Nashville had ti e of the Argo- nauta, arrangements wese made to send the passengers and»momrcombatants into Cie! the big Spanish steamer Argonauta, cap- tured by the Nashville on Friday last. The Argonavta had abdoard a_ large amount of mail matter directed to General Blanco. This is ccnsidered likely to prove especially valuable to the United States government. The captive Spanish officers carried themselves with almost humorous nonchal- ance, and told the American naval officers that it did their hearts good to “see such @ gathering of well-fed and prosperous- looking men.” ——__ THE COURTS.

Sulit Against Treasury, Papers in Which Are Withheld. J. Floyd King this afternoon filed a bill in equity, asking an injunction of some scrt in connection with the United States Treasury Department. The defendants named are C. P. Goodyear, W. B. Kay and Lyman J. Gage. The attorneys for the complainant se- cured from the court an order directing the clerk to place the papers in the safe, there- by withholding the facts of the case from publication. This is a course decidedly out of the ordinary, as the custom is to file divorce proceedings only, and then in rare instances, in the safe. The matter was presented to Judge Cox, in Equity Court No. 1, who granted an in- junction, as asked, until further order. ie BES He ga gpl | : t oI oe A Clear, True Value Ring to This Special.
