The Cuban Decapitation Story Print- ed in Several Papers. ‘The Star one week ago today published the following editorial paragraph, suggest- ea by the apparently exclusive publication in the New York Journal, under the name of its propritor and editor, of a dispatch narrating how one of the Joucnal's corre- spondents at the front had superintended @ massacre of Spanish prisoners turned over to the Cubans by the American sol- diers: “It is now up to Mr. Hearst to rise up and explain his personally conducted ex- glus dispatches to the New York Journal telling about the cutting off of the heads of a coup‘e of score of Span- ish prisoners by Cuban soldiers Up to the present time from there seem to fail to tak view of the matter.” Today the following letter was recetved at The Star office from the New York Journal, inclosing a cutting of this €ditorial paragraph: NEW YORK JOURNAL, W. R. Hearst, July 13, 1898. Editor Washington Star, Washington, D. C.: Dear Sir: The attached reprint from your paper appears in the New York World. Assuming that it was written un- der a misapprehension of the facts, we in- elose you herein clippings from the Herald and World, showing that both papers rrint- ed the same news, which the World charac- terizes as a “‘fake’’ of the Journal, the only difference being that the Journal corre- spondent found out and reported the facts several days earlier. We also inclose a subsequent clipping from the Journal on the subject. We believe that, ia justica to both yourself and this paper, you should be set aright. Very respectfully, THE JOURNAL, Per A. Brisbane. The inclosed clippings, to which refer- ence is made, show clearly that the de- capitation story was not an exclusive to the Journal, being told, not only by Mr. Hearst, but later by the World and Her- ald. The story has been officially con- tradicted by Gen. Shafter. Son NAVAL ORDERS. Rear Admiral A. E. K. Benham, retired, has been appointed a prize commissioner for the district of Georgia. Lieut.

Saies of Real Estate—Military Au- thorities Assisting in Keeping Or- der at Aqueduct Bridge. A number of improvements are being made in Georgetown which will add to the value of property in this section. The old bullding at the northwest corner of 29th and M streets is being demolished. The property has a good frontage on M street and runs back for some distance on 20th street, a saloon formerly occupying the corner and a bakery adjoining It. It is un- derstood that Mr. Albert Carey contem- plates erecting a modern hotel on the site of the premises containing about twenty rooms. The permit for the 1mprovement has not as yet been taken out. Mr. John Crowley is remodeling thc building at 1425 32d street and transform- ing it from a store into a dwelling.

The price paid was $600. The funeral of Mr. Thomas A. Boucher cecurred this morning at ® o'clock from Trinity Catholic Church with a solemn mass of requiem, Rev. Father Mulvaney, S. J., the assistant pastor, officiating. The interment was at Holy Rood cemetery. The funeral was largely attended. The pall-bearers were Messrs. John H. Crow- ley, William Schnebel, William Stohlman and P. J. Cook. The deceased came from a well-known family. The deceased was formerly employed as a conductor on the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad. For several years past he had suffered with cancer of the bladder and for seven weeks remained at Providence Hospital, at which place his death occurred Wednesday even- ing at 6: o'clock, The remains were brought to the home of his sister, Mrs. O'Neill, at 1313 35th street.

Mizpah Chapter of the Order of the East- ern Star will hold a complimentary lawn party and fete Wednesday evening at the grounds surrounding the residence of Mrs. W. F. Hunt, on Wisconsin avenue. On account of the many acts of disorder comriitted by the soldiers in the vicinity of Rosslyn, a new order of things has been introduced over there. The civil authori- ties of the place were unable to control the soldiers, and yesterday morning a form of military law was put into effect. Com- pany I of the Ist New Jersey Volunteers, under Captain Arthur Rollins, was detatled to act as provost guard, and went into camp at the end of the Aqueduct bridge. The camp was pitched on the high hill just back of the building of the Consumers’ Brewing Company. According to orders received, a guard Was placed at the Virginia entrance to the bridge, and no soldier was allowed to pass either way without exhibiting a pass. Those who were without passes were taken into custody. The old car sheds a short distance from the bridge were used as a guard house. All men who were under the influence of liquor were also taken in charge, whether going into town or going back to the camp, even when armed with the necessary permission. Yesterday was a busy day for the guard, and about fifty soldiers were taken In charge and locked up. Later these men were marched back io cainp, and made to answer for their mis- demeanors. The establishment of the guard had a salutary effect on the condition of affairs in Rosslyn. James Jones, a colored man, aged twenty- three, a laborer, while st work Wednesday on a shed near Glen Echo, slipped and fell to the ground, breaking his left leg near the ankle. He was brought into George- town on a Great Falis electric car, where the patrol wagon was met and the injured man conveyed to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. Jones lives in Tenleytown. The accident occurred about 6 o'clock in the evening. Lieutenant Sewell of the rough riders, who was wounded in the shoulder at the battle of Sevilla, Cuba, by the bursting of a bomb, arrived in this city Wednesday evening, direct from the scene of the con- flict. He was met at the depot by his sii yl, the wife of Colonel Heyl of the District regiment, who took him to her home at 3406 U street, where he will re- main for several days until he is better able to travel. Later he will proceed to his home at St. Louis, Mo. Dr. A. Peter will spend some weeks at Cambridge, Washington county, N. Y. Mr. George Potter of 33d street, who has been seriously ill with typhoid fever, has gone to Oakland to recuperate. The family of Mr. Thomas Biggins of P street Is now summering at Atlantic City. Mr. Biggins himself will leave town Satur- day evening for the resort, and spend all of next week. —__=-—_—_ If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

I desire also to com- mend for gallantry and courageous con- duct in this battle, and for faithful and valuable service generally, Mr. E. L. D. Breckinridge, the son of Major General J. C. Breckinridge, who has also been on duty on my staff as volunteer aide during the campaign. Mr. Breckinridge is a refined and educated gentleman in every respect and has proved in battle his courage and coolness.

GLEN ECHO’S AMUSEMENT VILLAGE. Others Textify to the Facts Told by : The Evening Star. Among the communications already re- ceived by The Star in regard to the publi- cation concerning the “amusement vil- lage” at Glen Echo are two which are given today. Mrs. C, Butterfield writes: A few days ago my husband and myself went out to Glen Echo to spend the after- ncon and evening. When it came time to return home, to avoid the rush there al- ways is to get seats, we went to the other side of the track opposite the entrance to the grounds. We had to wait some time, and presently three young men, two of them tough-looking to a degree, the other evidentiy a country boy, judging from his appearance, came out of the grounds and stood near enough to us for us to plainly hear their conversaticn. The country boy's face could not have been whiter or worn a more hopeless expression. He took out his handkerchief and buried his face in it, and I saw his frame tremble. The two tough young men went through his pockets. evi- dently looking to see if the poor fellow had any money left. After satisfying them- selves that he did not have even a five- cent piece left and at the same time ob- serving that we were watching their con- duct, they changed thelr manner, and one of the men, pulling a half dollar out of his pecket, offered it to the one they had just fleeced, and advised him to get aboard ‘the next car and come to town, adding: “You had better not go back to the village, for you haven't got any money, and mayne they will kill you,” and I saw a wink and a knowing look pass between them. The; also said, ‘‘We gave you enough money td get home with, so you had better get.” ‘Then these two young men dodged into the crowd and were lost to sight. The other peor fellow stood as‘ thoagh dazed, then he, too, disappeared, sbuthe had not lost his whiteness, and my heart went out in sympathy to him, for;I was almost certain that this was his first experience in gam- bling, and I hope it will be his last. Sev- eral Rimes lately I ave seen and overheard remarks at Glen Echo which show what kind of place it has been, or heard some soldiers say that “‘you couldn’t get anything to eat out here unless you be- longed to the club, but yoy could come out here and be cheated gut of every cent you had." I know of mothers who no longer allow their daughters to go to Glen Echo unless they, too, go along. I also know parents who will nof allow their young sons to go there. I have,seen mere lads taking their first lessons In gambling out there. It’s too bad. Where now is sweet, clean, lively Glen Echo, that we have al- ways liked to visit? Whare we could go and spend the day, take our boys and giris ind feel that we were in one of God’s gar- jen spots, for it is a charming place when shorn of gambling places and rough, drunk- en men. a W. of Brightwood says: ‘The showing made in today’s issue of the amusement village gambling hell at Glen Echo shows that The Star is as ready as ever to show up abuses. It seems strange that law of- ficers can be fixed and saloons and gam- bling resorts be openly maintained in Mary- land. Publicity is.the best weapon—go for them, Incidentally, there is a resort 3 the Potomac between Washington an Alexandria that. tains a wide-open Sunday bar and fake club. Perhaps some of our law might put forth an effort. ie torte reds of the very young boys headquar- and girls make this place their ters each Sunday. * Se Date of Sampson's Promotion._ In the official list of naval orders posted ‘[.at the Navy Department this morning the | oes $1.50 to $2.50.
