An appreciative audience gathered at St. John’s Parish Hall yesterday afternoon to participate in. the exercises of the Wash- ington Ramabai Circle, organized for aid- ing in the work of ameliorating the condition of the Hindu women. After the devotional exercises, a report was read by the treas- urer, showing that the sum of $1,179.50 has been forwarded from Washington to the Ramabai Association during the last ten years. Pandita Ramabai made an address. The Hindu philosophers, she said, have culti- vated the “don’t worry’ movement to an extreme, and look for their happiness in ig- noring evil and persuading themselves that it does not exist. There is one exception, however. All women are accounted as evil by nature, to be redeemed only by the most abject worship of the husband. She must prepare his food, attend to his wants, wash his feet and then drink the water. Her school at Bombay, she announced, received little attention from the natives ‘until her pupils began to have some independent views on the subject of husband worship. ‘Then a storm was precipitated, advertising her work far and wide. Some of her former pupils, she said, are now mothers, in happy homes. Beginning with two, she now has 380 under her care. The circle agreed to continue its efforts with a reorganization in the fall. At the close of the meeting, after many personal greetings, Pandita Ramabal was driven, with Dr. J. E. Rankin, president of Howard University, to be a guest at “The Cedar: She will go to Richmond, Va., today and will go thence to Boston next week. ePoeeerererecccrccccocooes It keeps the healthy well and strengthens invalids. % Liebig Company’s Extract of ‘Beef.

The occasion was the annual outing of the Washington board of trade, and a large number of the members and guests ‘availed themselves of the opportunity to enjoy a dinner of plank2d shad, prepared in the style which Eas made that resort so favorably known. Members of the recep- tion committee were at the wharf and ex- tended a cordial welcome to the guests. The program of the trip had been pre- pared with the special purpose of affording to the members of the party the greatest enjoyment. After a sufficient interval shall elapse after the arrival of the boat at Mar- shall Hall so that the operation of planking shad can be witnessed by those interested and the beauties of the plac2 in its spring garb can be enjoyed, dinn2r ts to be served. When the good things prepared for the hungry visitors shall have been eaten Mr. Theodore W. Noyes, the president of th> bozrd, will call for some impromptu toasts.

While the watchman at St. Elizabeth's in- sane asylum was making his early rounds this morning he found Jos2ph Roberts, alias Peter Arnold, an inmate, hanging to the door of his cell with life nearly ex- tinct. The physicians were hurriedly sum- moned, but the man almost immediately died. Roberts, or Arnold, has b2en an inmate of the insane asylum for three years and a half. He was Lorn in New York forty-four years ago. In 1889 while confined in a military prison he killed and cut up am inmate and hid the remains behind a trumk in his cell. This Was while h2 was a member of Company Hof the 4th Infantry. About June 24, 1880, he was arreete at Fort Sherman for the murder of the sbidier and turned over to the United Statés authorities. Shortly aflerward he d:veloped insanity and later was transferred to the Government Hospi- tal for the Insane 1 city. He was re- garded as a dangerqus patient, often dis- playing marked honficidal propensities. He imagin2d himself Jesee Jkmes, and boasted to the authorities of¢he mumber of men he had killed. His body :was tattooed all over. It is said he leaves a,wife, but the authori- ties do not know of her whereabouts. He will ba buried in théVesyitim cemetery. — ‘The coroner was stimmoned, and gave a certificate of death by suicide. e——_— HIGHWAY:7zEXTENSION. A. Map of Section Parep Approved by the Commission. The highway co; mn, consisting of the Secretary.of War,.the Secretary of the Interior, and the chief of engineers of the army, has given final approval of the map of extension of highways in section 8, in the District of Columbia, comprising the territory outside of the city limits west of Rock creek. The plans of this section were recently moditied by the District Commis- sioners in accordance with suggestion made by Mr. Newlands, a large land owner, by Which the blocks’ were made larger than Was contemplated in the original plans of street extensions in this section of the sub- urbs. The plans having been finally ap- proved by the tribunal of last resort they now have the full force of laws Genet : Property Willed to His Sister. The will of the late Alexander MacWil- ams was filed yesterday for probate. It is dated December’28, 1895, and bequeaths all his property, sonal and mixed, to iia sister, dene MacWiliiams Lawrence: who is appointed executrix, without bond. The War With Spain. ‘The Spanish Cape Verde fleet, which was Teported at Curacao last Sunday, arrived at Santiago de Cuba Thursday. It was reported to have sailed again the next day, after having landed supplies for Blanco. The fleets of Commodore Schiey and Admiral Sampson formed a junction in the vicinity of Key West. It was re- ported that orders were issued to Sampson to meet and destroy the Spanish ships. Rumors were circulated to the effect that Spanish ships had been seen off the coast of Nova Scotia, and the impression was created that the Cadiz fleet had reached that point. A Madrid dispatch said that the French island of Miquelon, off the coast of New- foundland, would be used as a base for naval operations against American ship- ping and. American coast cities. The entire Spanish cabinet resigned Wed- nesday. The queen regent authorized Senor Sagasta to form a new ministry, which: he did, taking four prominent mem- bers from the opposition parties. Senor Castillo, at present ambassador to France, was offered a portfolio in the new govern- ment, but declined on the ground that he could best serve his country in his present position. It was said that the new cabinet would inaugurate a vigorous and aggres- sive war policy. The cruiser Charleston sailed tor Manila with supplies and rein- forcements for Admiral Dewey; owing to some slight defect in her machinery she had to put back for repairs, which de- layed her about forty-eight hours. It was stated that Gen. Merritt, with a strong land force, would follow the Charleston to the Philippines. Gen. Merritt reported at Washington and consulted with the President. Admira’ Dewey cabled Wash- ington that food was becoming scarce in Manila, and he expected the Spaniards to surrender soon. Between 8,000 and 10,000 Spanish troops were reported to be em- barking at Barcelona for the Philippines. The Wilmington destroyed a derelict load- ed with old iron and probably containing explosives, which had been set adrift form Havana. It was planned to cut Blanco off from all cable communication by destroy- ing the submarine lines out from Santiago, said to be the only lines open to him, ex- cept those running through this country. Two American warships drew the fire of tie forts at Santiago Wednesday, but it was reported that the vessels did not. re- rly. Spanish reports stated that American vessels bombarded Guantanamo, Cuba, but were repulsed. Refugees at Kingston, Ja- maica, from Cienfuegos, said that’ the Spaniards there recently had a big celebr: tion in honor of a “victory at Mani One hundred and four thousand volunteei were reported as having been mustered in- to the United States army. Announcement was made of the assignments of generals to corps divisions and departments; Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was ordered to command an army corps at Tampa. Secretary Lone stated that the battleship Oregon was a last safe from the Spanish fleet. The new battleship Alabama, to be of 11,330 ton displacement, was launched at Cramp’ shipyard, Philadephia, and was christened by a daughter of Senator Morgan. The funeral of Ensign Worth Bagtey, the first naval officer killed in the war, was ai tended by remarkable scenes at his home in Raleigh, N. C. Congressional. The Senate continued the discussion of the war revenue bill, voting on a number of amendments, but reaching no conclusion as to the salient features of: the measure involving the principal issues between the houses. The joint resolution for the annex- ation of Hawaii was favorably reported to the House. Foreign.
