TO GUARD OUR INTERESTS General Greely, chief of the signal serv- vice, who has charge of all strategic con- trol of telegraph and cable lines, has adopt- ed energetic measures to prevent the ad- miral of the Spanish squadron now in Car- ibbean waters from keeping posted on the whereabouts and movements of United States squadrons and of our prospective naval and miiitary operations. Last night he telegraphed to the New York manager of the Haytian Cable Company forbidding the sending or receipt of any messages ex- cept officia! messages to or from the United States government disclosing the move- ments of our fleets and ships. The man- ager answered this morning that the in- hibition would be strictly observed. If Ad- miral Sampson is in Haytian waters, as is conjectured, then this cable restriction makes it impossible for his movements to become known except to the government, cr, if known, it is impossible to send out the information except by the government. General Greely also telegraphed the Anglo- n Cable Company this morning, their attention to the prohibition against any messages inimical to the in- terests of the government, and, in particu- lar, forbidding the receipt or sending of messages disclosing the movements of our pective military movements. taken in view of the notice of merican Telegraph Company “pending further decision by the chief signal officer we wiil accept press messages without restrictions.” General Greely’s order appears to cover the further decision referred to in the company’s notice. Cut Of From Information. The orders of these two companies were sent as the channels of communication under their control seem to be, for the mo- ment, the ones through which the Spanish admiral and the Spanish authorities at Madrid and Havana are most likely to se- cure information s to our naval move- ments. While it was not suspected that S were sending direct information, yet the transmission of press dispatches of na- val movements were looked upon as likely to indicate to the Spanish with sufficient certainty the general whereabouts and pur- puses of our fle The precautions taken will, it is believed, so restrict this charac- ter of cable information to the government and the fleet commanders that the Spanish authorities will from now on be cut off from all knowledge of our naval and mili- tary plans. General Greely’s telegraphic o plement the written orders he lad ly given to all the cabie companies having lines radiating from the United States. ships or pre This step wa: Agreement of § mp: The following restrictions regarding the nsmission of cable dispateh2s, whether cede or plain text, have been agreed to feguard the public inter- irstructions, these compa- e to rece or transmit the -s either to or Any and all mess s of Spain or any of her colo- ar> addressed to or ent of the United Siates cabinet in Washing- from offic nie such , except signed by the Pre=ii or any member of hi ton city. “Secon All code or cipher messages to any point in the West Indies, Brazil or Venezuela, with the following exceptions: “@).

No report has reached the Navy De- partment to indicate that disaster has over- taken any of the American vessels on the bicckading station. If it should be true, as reported from Havana, that one of the ves- sels engaged in the removal of Spanish tor- pedoes at Cardenas was blown up, it could have beer. nothing larger than a steam launch at most, for that is the class of beats employed in such work. The Case of the Myrtledean. The fact that several vessels under neu- tral flags have been permitted to pass the blockade lines on the Cuban coast is not to be taken as an indication that the govern- ment intends to relax in any degree the blockade. But it has happened that some | of the naval officers on the blockading sta- tion, unaware of the fact that the blockade proclamation issued hv the President allow- ed neutral vessels in Cuban ports thirty days to clear, ltad summuriiy ordered some of these ships to leave immediately, on the establishment of the blockade. This was the case with the steamer Myrtledean, which was yesterday permitted to pass the blockade at Cardenas. The ship had been previously required to leave the port by the senior officer of the blockading fleet, She was entitled, under the proclamation, to remain in port until the 22d day of May, and when this fact was brought to the at- tention of the proper authorities, orders were sent to Commodore Watson to let the Myrtledean re-enter Cardenas harbor and enjoy the privilege she had a right to claim under the proclamation. So there is not, as might have been supposed at first, any ground on tne part of othér neutral nations than Great Britain to claim the right for thelr versels to pass the blockade lines unless the conditions are like those in the Myrtledean case.

Mr. Richardson of ‘Tennessee has intro- duced a bill in the House providing that the Metropolitan Railroad Company be re- quired to extend its 9th street line with double track and underground electrfe pow- er, as follows: Beginning at its present tracks on Florida avenue, at a point where Sherman avenue would intersect Florida avenue on being extended southward, thence north over Wright arid Cox's sub- division to Sherman avenue; thence north on Sherman avenue to the intersection of Lydecker street; thence west on Lydecker street to Holmead ayenue; thence through the land known as the Mattingly tract, by such route as the Commissiogers of the District of Columbia shall designate, to l4th street and Sheridan avenue; thence northwesterly with and over Sheridan ave- nue to 17th street; thence south on 17th Street to Park street. Provided, however, that if the Commis- sioners shall be of the opinion that it is impracticable to operate the extension with underground electric power by reason of Sherman avenue not being paved, then the Commissioners may permit the railroad company to operate such extension with double overhead electric trolley until suck time as an appropriation shall be made by Congress to pave Sherman avenue, or so much thereof as may be necessary to re- move the cause. Then, upon being notified by the Commissioners, the railroad com- pany shall proceed at once to equip and operate the extension with underground electric power, and the same shall be com- pleted and in operation within nine months from date of such notice. And provided further that in case it may be found neces- sary to equip the extension temporarily with overhead trolley, then such extension shall be under the control and subject to the approval of the District Comimissioners. ‘The railroad company shall have the pow- er to purchase the land in Wright and Cox’s subdivision necessary for this ex- tension (which right of way shall not be less than thirty feet in width) if in the Judgment of its officers it can do so at a reasonable price; if not, then it shall have the right to acquire the land by condemna- tlon proceedings instituted in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, under and in accordance with the provisions of sections 257 to 267, both inclusive, of the Revised Statutes of the United States re- lating to the District of Columbia. The railroad company, if it does not de- sire to pass over the land in Wright and Cox's subdivision, may, in lieu thereof, ex- tend the line from its present terminus at 10th street and Florida avenue east over and with Grant street to Sherman avenue, and thence over the route aforesaid: Pro- vided, however, that the. railroad com- pany shall not be required to extend its road farther west than” Holmead avenue until such time as the land necessary to pass through the Mattingly tract shall be donated for a street, the width of same to be approved by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. if the road shall be temporarily equipped with overhead trolley; power it shall be completed and in operation within nine months from the passage of this aet. If it shall be equipped with’ underground elec- tric power from the beginning, such ex- tension shall be completed and put in op- eration within twelve months from the pas- Sage of this act; and, provided further, that in case any other railroad shall intersect the extension at 14th street and Sheridan avenue, then such railroad company shall have the right to pass over and use the tracks on Sheridan avenue in conjunction with the Metropolitan Railroad Company on paying a reasonable sum for the use of the traeks; and in case the officers of the roads cannot agree upon the amount to be paid for such trackage, then either of the railroad companies may apply to the Su- Ppreme Court of the District of Columbia, holding a United States district court, to settle the terms in a manner stipulated. The bill was referred to the District com- mittee. —_—_-e-—_____ Stock-Reducing Furniture Sale. Everything heavily reduced.

The attention of the assistant attorney general for the Post Office Department has. been called to the methods employed by the so-called “Civil Service Institutes” cperating throughout the country, For some time the civil service com- mission has been investigating these in- stitutions and this {s not the first time the attention of the authorities has been called to the matter. Some of the institutions adopt names which would lead the un- acquainted to believe they. had a direct connection with the civil service commis- sion and thereby receive business. Be- cause of the similiarity of names the civil service commission receives letters every now and then intended for one of these institutions. Recently a letter came to the commission in this way from a plumb- er in the west who had evidently read one of the advertisements of an institute, and was ready to do business with it. No ex- amination is requested by the civil service commission for positions in the trades, be- yond a satisfactory showing as to age, character, experience and physical quali- fications. In this case the institute, upon receiving a query from the applicant for the position of plumber, notified him that the first sheets of the examination ques- tions would be furnished upon receipt of the first fee, $4. Other cases have been brought to the attention of the commis- sion, and the matter will be pushed now upon some importent evidence. Some time ago the commission in this connection issued the following: “The commission frequently receives let- ters from different parts of the coun: in- closing advertisements of individuals and ‘bureaus claiming to have special infor- mation of value to applicants and special facilities In preparing them for civil serv- ice examinations. The writers of these letters inquire whether, in the opinion of the commission, the claims of these in- dividvals and bureaus are genuine or not. Attention is called to the fact that the ™manual of instructions and the schedule of examinations, which are furnished to every applicant upon request, contain all the information about the times and places of examination, the method of marking papers, certifying eligibles and the pros- pect of securing appointments, and they also contain specimen eens of ex- aminations. No person any infor- mation of importance to applicants con- cerning examinations which cannot be obtained without cost from this manual, or by request to the commission, All claims to the contrary, are therefore mis- representations.” om Merchants’ Parcel Delivery Co. y Hi Hl i Hil STORAGE | { There are three special ad- ee a | ! jill vantages of storing “Household MOVING.
