CAPE HAYTIEN, Hayti, June 12—The remarkable audiences President Heureaux granted on his gunboat, the Restauracion, in this harbor on ‘Thursday last, deserve a special record. My cable dispatch of that day has already given a rather full idea of his statements regarding the recent at- tempted revolution in Santo Domingo, but that the interview may be properly appre- ciated it will be neceasary to give it a de- scriptive setting. . I went out to the Restauracion accom- panied by the American consul, Dr. Living- ston, one of the most intelligent colored men, by the way, who ever had an official for this splendid ; ‘ i 2 2 | mission to this country, and Mr. A.

He took the man to live with him in the presidential palace at Santo Domingo, clothed him, fed him and gave him official dignities. Twice the beneficiary conspired against the bene- factor. The first time he was forgiven. The second time Heureaux called him to him and said: “I have tried to make a gentleman of you. Now I: want you to put on your full-dress costume. In one hour you will be shot. There is no use for you to say anything. It must be. Only I particularly request that you behave like a gentleman.” And the brother-in-law was shot dead at the hour and minute.

GEN. GRAHAM'S SIGNIFICANT WORDS Court-Martial to fhvestigate Meth- ods of Puriishment. POSTAL IRREGULARITIES Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP ALGER, Va., June 25, 1898. After lying dormant for several weeks, the old specter of a change in the location in Camp Alger has reappeared to haunt the daily steps of the storekeepers and hucksters of Falls Church. This time, however, it may be that the story heard so often and ‘presented in so many different lights may not be altogether without fotin- dation. Some alarm was hinted at and ‘some apprehension freely expressed, when first the site, now in use, was suggested, that the water supply would fail during the hot months of summer. It is to this fear that the present rumor is to be at- tributed. A contractor from Washington came into camp recently to obtain a permit to erect a natitorlum. He was directed first to the provost marshal, and by him to General Graham. The contractor was particularly anxious to know whether the site of the camp was to be changed, as he intended to invest, he said, not less than $1,500 in his enterprise. General Graham advised him not to begin the erection of the building, suggesting that “the camp might be moved at an hour’s notice.” He then proceeded to say that the water supply of the camp could be moved. He said, furthermore, was growing less and less plentiful, and ex- pressed his personal apprehension lest it should fail completely before the camp that he had men now at work looking into the country about Manassas paying parti- cular attention to the subject of water dur- ing July and August. Corps headquarters refuses to discuss the subject. This may or may not be signifi- vant. Corps headquarters has so far con- sistently refused to discuss everything else before the orders concerning the subjects under discussion were published. Methods of Punishment. The question of proper punishment and of the use of barbarous and torturing in- struments is likely to be finally settled for the period of the whole conflict with Spain within the next two or thre: weeks. Col. John T. Barnett of the 150th Indiana will Probably be the instrument of ‘this solution of a very troublesome vroblen His saw- horse still stands, but in view of the in- dignation aroused by tne discovery ef the institution, no one has lately peen subject- ed to its torture. The circular letter sent out by Gen.’Graham Thursday morning Was probably delivered to Tol. Barnett this norning. His regiment will return to camp this afternoon or tonight, when his an- swer will probably be made to Gen. Gra- hom and then transmitted to the War De- partment. It is probable that Sec Alger will at once direct a cour: 5 This tribunal will determine whether or not Col. Barnett is culpable, and if cul- pable, to what degree. Two inspectors reported to Falls Church this morning to look into the alleged pestal fraud, They spent the enti jorming in company with Col. S. M. Welch, jr., of the 65th New York, and Quartermaster Houk of the 7th Ohio, taking up and examining the letters lying loose about the yards in the vicinity of the post office. A singular fact developed by this examinauon is that mcst of the letters found are addressed to the New York regiment. Those connected with the investigation seem io be of the opinion that while there may be no positive frauds, there are unquestioned indications of gross carelessness. Under a general or from the War De- partment, Col. A. C. Girard, surgeon-in- chief of the corps, is preparing a scheme for the management of division hospitals. A letter of information Is to prepared in Col. Girard’s office and iransmitted to the staff and line officers of all the regiments in camp. This letter will show the methcés of treating the wounded on the march and in camp. Details for Lue general manage- ment of division hospita wil. Le formu- lated. The plan under consideration is in- tended to apply to all division hospitals. Engage in Mimic War. While out practicing with blank cart- ridges yesterday, Maj. Young of the ‘th Ohio Colored Volunteers encountered the 8th Ohio. The two commands were soon engaged in mimic warfare, charging, firing from behind trees and defending and at- tacking chosen positions. Col. Woodward of the 6th Massachusetts, chose to take a hand in the fight also, and svon had his men on the ground to see that there was sufficient excitement all along the line. Falls Church was much disturved by the nojse and smoke, and sent several ccurlers over to the camp to investigate. Similar battles will be fought at frequent intervals by all the troops, the ordnance department having issued 150 blank cart- ridges to each man for that purpose. Col. Marcus Kavanagh of the 7th Ili- neis expects to find time Monday to con- duct a court-martial and a shan baitle at the same time. One battaiion.is to ieave camp two hours ahead of the other und intrench itself in some position 2f advan- tage in the country about Dunn Loring. Tke others will endeavor to overtake the first, or, failing in this, to drive their com- rades out of their chosen position. Capt. Little, chief commissary of the 1st Division, has beer relieved and will be succeeded by Maj. David Hemphill. Gift of Regimental Flag. A beautiful flag of regulation size has been purchased by the 2d Tennessee. This flag will be presented to the 6th Pennsyl- vania as a mark of appreciation of the many courtesics extended the Tennessee beys by their friends in the 6th. Whcn the 24. Tennessee came into camp they were without provisions and were supplied by the 6th Pennsylvania with a sufficient amount of food to last them antil they cculd obtain the supplies awaiting them at Denn Loring. This and many other kind- nesses have heen remembered. Three sticamers ttached to the flag have these inscriptions: “Camp Alger, Falls Church, Va.;" “Sixth Pennsylvenia Volunteer In- fentry,” and “Second Tennessee Volunteer Infantry.” 4 The flag cost nearly. $] the mboney be- sted men of the ing raised among the The presentation will be made regiment. ‘ -day or tomorrow dpring the ceremony of both reg- ‘trooping the colors,’, in, which mi-any A, 2d Tennes- : inum tag, with iments will participate, .; ‘The members cf see, hava secured ay eech sold! thereon.

McDaniel, an-old and well-known resident of this section of the city, died yesterday about noon at his resi- dence, 1524 30th street. For several years past he had been troubled with a disease of the stomach, death being due to that malady. The deceased was seventy years of age, and a native of the District, his parents having been also bern in this lo- cality. At one time Mr. McDaniel was a builder, and owned considerable property. Of late, owing to his advanced age, he re- tired from jiness. He was a director in the Potomac Fire Insurance Company. He leaves several grown-up children to mourn bis death. ‘he funeral will be held Mon- day morning at 9 o'clock from Trinity Church, with a solemn mass of requiem. ‘The interment, which will be private, will be at Holy Rood cemetery. Alexander Bird, better known as “Aleck” Bird, died Thursday evening of pneumonia at Freedmen’s Hospital, where he had been sent for treatment a few days ago. Bird was perhaps the best known colored man in town. His age was thought to be some- where between sixty and seventy yedrs of age.. He resided with his wife at 1703 33d street.

In a report made by them to Senator McMillan, chairman of the Senate Diftrict committee, on Senate bill 4784, for the ex- tension of 16th street in a direct line from Florida avenue to Piney branch, with a circle at the intersection of Columbia road, the District Commissioners today stated that the opening of the street is considered to be one of the most important of the several measures recently introduced for the extension of streets in the suburbs. “As the necessary land for the extension of the street between Florida avenue and Morris street,” explain the Commissioners, “has already been acquired by the Dis- trict, it is unnnecessary to make any pro- vision in the bill for this portion, which therefore can be omitted. There seems to be no particular reason for the location of a circle at iGth street and Columbia road. Tnis is not a general intersecting point of streets and avenues and therefore it would seem to be inconsistent with the general plan of the city of Washington to establish one there. For thesé reasons it is suggested that the circle be omitted.” cost of acquiring the land of 16th street extended 3 Piney branch lows: 175,200 square feet in Meriaian hill at $1.20 a foot, $210,240; 162,000 square feet in Deniscn and Leigh- subdivision at 75 cents a foot, $121,500: Streets in Eckington.

The District assessor, Mr. Matthew Trimble, submitted to the Dis- trict Commissioners whether the plats of his office should be changed and the land included in the streets deducted from the taxable area before the records of the sur< veyor’s office are made to conform to the opinion of the attorney for the District, Mr. Trimble suggested, in order to avoid ny complication in the matter, that the parties in interest submit a plat dedicat- ing to the District the above named streets as public highways, the plat, after its ap- proval by the Commissioners, to be record« ed in the office of the District surveyor, ‘Today the Commissioners approved the as« fessor’s suggestions and so notified the parties in interest. ——._— Complains of Nuisance.
