Commissioners Deny Request Regulation Affecting Newsboys. Wm. H. Carter of 1218 Blagden’s court, styling himself manager of the Newsboys’ Association, recently addressed the Dis- trict Commissioners, stating that he had been asked by both white and colored news- boys to help them out by the enactment of a regulation prohibiting more than one or two newsboys on a street corner, and not more than two or three at street rail- way transfer points. Mr. Carter explained that both boys in and outside of the asso- ciation desire the enactment of such a regulation, and he suggested that the boys shculd be allowed to choose the corners, tken register their names in a book to be kept at police headquarters, and to require them to wear numbered badges. “Then,” further explained Mr. Carter, “Sf a lady or gentleman should pass and see them doing anything they ought not to be doing they could report them to the police. If a conductor objects to their jumping on cars they can tell them by their badges, and it would not be. any trouble for them to tell them to stop jump- ing on cars. And it will drown all trouble that is among the boys, fighting and throw- ing stones in the street, stealing papers frcm in front of doors. We have the badges and the book and everything else as soon as we hear from you all.” The matter was referred to Major Syl- vester, chief of the police department, who reported as follows: "If it is desired by those interested in this scheme to have a law enacted for the purpose, it would, in my opinion, discriminate against many of the boys en- gaged in selling papers for a livelihood. It would be wise, perhaps, to have the propo- sition submitted to the Commissioners in such form as it is proposed to have it en- acted. The organization represented by Carter comes far from embracing the hun- dreds of little boys who engage in similar work in this city. In my opinion the proper time for the consideration of this subject would be when the matter is sub- mitted in definite shape.”’~ Commissicner Wight recommended that Mr. Carter be informed to the effect that the Commissioners have considered his communication, and they do not see their way clear as yet to enforce such a regula- tion asked for. Mr. Wight’s recommenda- tion has been approved by his associates, and Mr. Carter will be so informed. ee THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. for A System for Filing Pension Claims Under It Agreed Upon. ‘The commissioner of pensions has agreed upon a system for filing the pension claims under the Spanish-American war. He has decided to form a new division to be known as “Spanish-American war division,” which will be separate and distinct from the e‘aims arising from the civil war. These claims will be numbered consecuttvely, be- ginning with the last number of the old claims, and will be promptly adjudicated. At the present time the pension office has dcne nothing toward settling these claims, except to get them ready when the War Department is ready to furnish the evi- dence of the soldiers’ service. Up to this time the department has not leted its record. When the evidence is attainable, Romsver. the Soins will be fakes up in jar ler and promptly disposed of. A total of rae pane, fr ion by reason present war have far filed, *. MICHIGAN BANK ROBBED SixMen Get $5,000 in Cath and $4,600 in Notes, Nitro-Glycerine Used to Wreck the Safe in a Richinnd Instit: tion—A Bold Deed. RICHLAND, Mich., August 5.—One of the mest daring and successful bank robberies ever perpetrated in Michigan was carried out by six robbers last night. Some of them came from the east on a hand car, and evidently had .confederates with a horse and carriage. They secured about $5,000 in cash from the Union Bank and $4,600 in notes. The horse and carriage were taken into ‘Augus- ta and left there. There were three ex- plosions, which awakened many people. Alvin Barnes, an old man, who lived near the bank, was ordered into the house with a threat that they would shoot him. Geo. Robson and Ed. Barrett saw the robbers, but did not molest them. The safe was a complete wreck, nitro-glycerine being used to open it. The inside doors were blown ten feet out into the office, and pieces went through the plate glass front twerty feet distant. The chisel and other toos were left here. The hand car was disabled, so it could not be used to pursue the robbers. Officers here have just been informed that a man was seen between Augusta and Battle Creek, walking on railroad track, carrying a large satchel and also a Win- chester rifle. No one who saw him dared to make a move to arrest him. Officers will leave here for Augusta at once after him. NIGHTMARES OF THE PAST Torpedo Boats and Destroyers Now Seem Harmless, They Can’t Contend Against Search- lights, Rapid-Fire Gums and Continued Watchfulness, Written for The Evening Star. “She is Death and swift Destruction in a case, ‘ot the Unseen, but the Awful, plain in sight;) The Dread that must be halted when afar. She's a concentrated, fragile form of Might! She's a daring, vicious thing, With a rending, deadly sting— And she asks no odds nor quarter in the figh It hardly seems possible, in looking back to the time when the lately destroyed fleet of Admiral Cervera was still at the Cape de Verde Islands, that so much apprehen- sion cculd have exfsted regarding the tor- pedo boats and torpeda boat destroyers that constituted sucha formidable factor of his squadron. ‘We have a few torpedo beats,” it was said, “but we have not a single destroyer, and these craft can have everything their own way; the battle ships cannot make more than half their speed, and they can overhaul and destroy every torpedo boat we possess.” The fact that one of these vessels was in the path of the Oregon, on her famous journey around the American continent, was a source of un- rest and apprehension. But the great bat- tle sh.y pursued the even tenor of her way, exceeded all previous records, in her remarkable cruise of 13,000 miles, and ar- rived at the seat of war without so much as a rivet out of place, to lend her very ef- fective aid in the destruction of the once- dreaded fleet, and the torpedo destroyers of the enemy were absolutely helpless in the face of the terrifie rain of projectiles from the rapid-fire guns, and in a very short space of time were sent to the bot- tom of the sea. At Manila, in the battle with the first Spanish fleet, the same result was experienced, for after an ineffectual attempt to torpedo the flagship Olympia, the torpedo boats were compelled to turn and seek shelter, an@ were sunk before they could reach the shore. Squadron Not Endangered. There does not seem to have been any attempt made to attack the vessels of the blockading squadron—much to the wonder- ment of the officers themselves. On our own side our beats proved very efficient additions in the way of scouts and pickets, piuckily running in shore and drawing the fire of the batteri: but the principal ob- ject of their existence—to destroy the fighi- ing ships of the enemy—never had a chane for demonstration. It is a very desperate chance, indeed, that of attempting to get near cnough to discharge a torpedo agains* the cruiser.or battle ship, for, with unre- mitting watchfulness, the all-pervading searchlight and deadly rain from the rapid- fire and machine guns, it is a question of the briefest space of time before the de- struction of the little craft is accomplished It is true, there were some suce! tempts in this direction in the war between Chile and Peru; but the success seems tu have been due to lack of proper watch- fulness, and, at any rate, not much, if any, account was taken of it. The world wait- ed for the next great naval war, when the effectiveness of modern ships, modern guns and the torpedo boat were to be demon- strated. Learned Our Own Lesson. Looking back, it does seem strange that we who waited so many years, watching (and profiting by) the experience and pro- gress of the rest of the world in the ever- changing contest between the gun and the armor, should have afforded the object lesson so much desired. Today, as the result of Manila and San- tiago, the torpedo boat is a nightmare of the past, and the torpedo-boat destroyer has passed into “innocuous desuetude.”’ The search light and the rapid-fire gun, and the eternal vigilance of the watch have render- ed their efforts futile. It is certain and in- evitable destruction and the forlornest of forlorn hopes to attempt to get near enough to discharge a torpedo against the mas- sive sides of the battle ship that affords such a splendid target—to “* * * gather for the rush, and catch her breath! And dodge the wakeful cruiser’s sweeping eye.” For once within that dread zone of fire, facing a storm of projectiles from all cal- ibers, the little craft is literally obliterated from the face of the waters. Never Had a Chance. -One of the most active and efficient of our own vessels of, 'thig character, com- manded by an officer whose supremest hap- piness seemed to consist in taking the risk- jest of chances, an@ whose one thought seemed to be the degire.of demonstrating the “external explosion theory’’ on one of the vaunted Spanish}cruigers, very recent- jy returned for much-needed repairs. Her commander remarked that they never had a@ chance. “We prowled around all night long, looking for something,” he said, “but at Santiago they had booms and chains across the channel, the search lights were Sweeping the entr: constantly and noth- ing could get in or out unseen.” jome years ago, the writer remembers, a remark of Arabi P; ’s; made just after the bombardment ¢ Aljexandria, caused considerable comms and testified to the great value of the search light: ‘What chance have we got against people who turn the night into ”. Night Turned to Day. And so, for months, a great fleet of ves- sels has been blockading an enemy’s port, closing up at sunset to within a mile of the entrance, and no attempt was made, even by the powerful and ‘rapid destroyers, to sink a single one of our ships, or, if made, they were speedilyseen and driven back, for “the night was turned into day.” There Was no chance for mistake, for the strict rule was followed of not throwing. the light on our own craft, and all else was regard- “oth point Aterenti ther lessons 5 learned—might be written about, but the ede pid dr eure Aa eas ee ee lashing, tumbling shell of eel. = ; ‘The floating boiler, crammed with fire and steam.” C.

Captain Kemble of the Iroquois says that he had a fine trip up the coast, with gen- erally good weather. Dr. Doty, after an examination of all on board the transport, decided to hold the steamer for disinfec- tion. He said he would probably land the Passengers about 1 o'clock this afternoon and that the disinfection would be finished in time to permit the Iroquois to go to her dock before night. Dr. H. C. McCook of Philadelphia went to Santiago to assist in caring for the mem- bers of his regiment, the 2d Pennsylvania. He did not arrive until after the surrender. He says that there is very little yellow fever among the troops, but fears that it will become epidemic later unless some- thing is done promptly to remove them north. The men are all very tired and many are suffering from malaria and other minor diseases, and the relaxation from the strain of the campaign is having its effect on the tired, overworked soldiers, —_.__. INTERPRETING THE REVENUE AC Rulings on Certain Sections of the Law. The commissioner of internal revenue has rendered a decision on the liability of co- cperative and mutual insurance companies to tax under the war revenue act. After quoting that part of the act applicable to the case the commissioner says that it is clear, from the language used, that the exemptions made are not intended to ap- ply to life insurance companies, although organized and conducted on the mutual mless such companies are “frater- beneficiary” or “purely local” in character. In the case of the particu- lar company under consideration it is stated that it is purely co-operative or mutual, sues no stock and has no stockholders, and all of the profits or surplus assets go to its members in the way of dividends, reductions of premiums or additions to pol- icies in case of death. Sugar Manufacturer: The commissioner of internal revenue has decided that persons engaged in manufac- turing sugar from cane or beets and who do not buy and refine sugars are not sub- Ject to the tax imposed by the new war revenue act. The contention of the commissioner is that the law applies only to persons en- gaged in refining raw sugars, as distin- guished from those who produce the raw or unrefined sugars from cane or beets. Under this ruling practically all of the beet sugar mills of the wesi and tne cane mills of the south are exempt from the tax, who are held not to be refiners within the mean- ing of the law. Of this latter class there are said to be over 700 in the state of Lou- isiana alone. The decision was rendered upon the application of the Oxnard Beet Sugar Company, who ‘asked for a ruling upon this point. Stamps Required of Boatmen. Gen, Dumont, supervising inspector gen- eral of steam vessels, has issued a circular in which he ennounces that under the reve- nue act a ten-cent stamp must be affixed to the following named certificates and cop- ies thereof required by law: Supervising inspector's permit to towing steamer to carry persons other than crew. upervising inspector's permit exempting river steamers from carrying meiallic life- boat. ertificate of license to carry gunpowder. rtificate permitting steamers to go to another port for repairs. Certificate of license to carry excyrsion ifidate of license permitting the car- rying of petroleum on pas: r steamers. Certificate of supervising inspectors as to safety of using petroleum as fuel on steam- ers. Certificate of supervising inspectors as to safety of boilers not built of riveted iron or steel plates. Original certificates of inspection of steam ssels issued to-chief officers of customs for file do not require a stamp. ————— ROOSEVELT REBUKED. coL. Seeretary Alger Says Comparisons Should Not Be Made. The Secretary of War gave out the fol- lowing correspondence late yesterday af- ternoon: SANTIAGO, July 23, 189s. My Dear Mr. Secretary: I am writing with the knowledge and approval cf Gen. Wheeler. We earnestly hope that you will send us—most of the regulars, and, at any rate, the cavalry division, including the Rough “Riders, who are as good as any regu- lars, and three times as good as any state troops—to Porto Rico. There are 1,800 ef- fective men in this division; if those whe were left behind were joined to them, we could land at Porto Rico in this cavalry division clese to 4,000 men, who would be worth, easily, any 10,000 National Guards, armed with black powder, Springfeld or ether archaic weapons. Very respectfully, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The following reply was cabled to Col. Roosevelt yesterday: Your letter of 23d is received. The reg- ular army, the volunteer army and the Rough Riders have donc well, but I sug- gest that, unless you want to spoil the ef- fects and glory of your victory, you make no invidious comparisons. The Rough Rid- crs are no better than other volunteers. They had an advantage in their arms, for which they ought to be very grateful. R. A. ALGER, Secretary of War. ———+o+_____ Cuban Tobacco Tariff. It is understood ‘at the officials of the War Department have about completed the tobacco tariff schedules to be applied to Cuban ports, and that it will follow very closely, if not exactly, our own internal revenue rates. These are 12 cents a pound on manufactured tobacco and snuff; $3.60 per 1,000 on cigers weighing more than three pounds to the thousand; $1.50 per 1,000 on cigarettes weighing not more than three pounds to the 1,000, and $1 per 1,000 on all tobacco cigarettes weighing not more than three pounds to the 1,000. The general tariff for Porto Rico will closely follow the present §; ‘ish rates as pppiied to imports from Spain, which are about 10 per cent less than the eral rates collected upon shjj from other countries. = a ++ _______ Candidate for Second Term. Josephine Simpson, a colored girl about sixteen years old, was today held for the grand jury by Judge Mills for breaking into the house of Mrs. Anna M.

Three prominent members of the House committee on appropriations will give up their seats in the next Congress to strive for gubernatorial honors. They are Mr. Sayers of Texas, Mr. Dockery of Missouri and Mr. Pitney of New Jersey. Mr. Sayers was nominated yesterday for governor and will undoubtedly be elected. Nomination for governor in Texas caries election, if the nominee is a democrat. Mr. Dockery has not yet won his nomination for governor of Missouri, but he has burned his- congressional bridges behind him. His successor was selected by the democrats of his district yesterday. The new candidate is Mr. Dougherty, who won his nomination after a hard struggle with several am- bitious democrats of the district, but Mr. Dockery only sat on the fence and watched the fun. Mr. Pitney is just laying his pipes for the governorship, and as a preliminary has an- nounced his withdrawal from the congres- sional campaign, as heretofore published in The Star. He is expected to make a strong race for the nomination. He is young, ex- ceedingly ambitious, a man of great energy and has wealthy and influentiai friends. These three men will be very much miss- ed in the next Congress, especially in the preparation and consideration of appropria- tion bills. Mr. Sayers and Mr. Dockery are the mainstays of the democrats on the ap- propriations committee and have been in- trusted by their colleagues with unlimited confidence. ‘They watched the expenditures of the government with unceasing vigi- lance, and whenever they indorsed an item of appropriation in a bill their judgment was satisfactory to the democrats. If they opposed an appropriation they could bring the party into line back of them unques- tioningly and solidly. _Mr. Pitney is one of Chairman Cannon's lieutenants among the republicans. He is a hard worker and scrutinizes the estimates of the executive officers with great care. Being a vigorous and intelligent talker, he is often called upon to lead the fights which the majority of the committee might be conducting. The District of Columbia is concerned in the withdrawal of Mr. Dockery and Mr. Pitney, for both are on the subcommittee having charge of the District appropria- tion bill. Of course, they will be here next December to prepare the bil] which is passed in the short session, their terms not expiring until March 4 next. ————— STATUS OF HAWAIIAN PORTS. An Interesting Opinion by the At- torney General. Attorney General Griggs in an opinion on the collection of tonnage tax from ves- sels coming from Hawaiian Ports says regarding our relations with our new pos- sessions: ‘Sir: You ask my opinion as to whether the tonnage tax should be collected from vessels coming from Hawaiian ports. “The resolution of Congress which, with the corresponding action of the republic of Hawail, annexed the Hawailan Islands to the United States operated for inter- national purposes to make those islands part of the territory of the United States. But when territory ts acquired by treaty or conquest or otherwise, its relations to the nation acquiring it depend upon the laws of that nation unless controlled by the instrument of cession. It may for certain purposes remain foreign temporarily or permanently, and is not presumed to be at once put upon the same footing as all other territory of the nation, but rather the con- tary. “When, therefore, Florida had been ceded and fully transferred to the United States, its ports were regarded as foreign within the meaning of our revenue laws. (Flem- ing et al. v. Page, 9 How., 617.) “This being so, it seems to me we should be able to find some provision in the reso- lution annexing the Hawaiian Islands in- dicating an intention to change the rela- ticns of our tonnage tax laws to Hawaiian ports and vessels coming from them, or th relations should be regarded as con tinuing. “Such an intent I do not find in the gen- eral declaration annexing the islands as part of the territory of the United States. That declaration, there having been no treaty, is intended to have the effect of a tre It is the act ty of cessicn merely. 2 in a broad y the islards be2ome, , Subject to American sovereignty. that sovereignty will regulate their status, with regard to itself and its laws, js not thereby intended to be determined. “Neither do I think that the expres declaration that our land laws and certain other laws shall not apply to the islands carries the implication that other laws skall apply to them, upon the principle, often misunderstood, that the exp ion of one thing excludes another. “On the other hand, the resolution is re te with Indications that, temporarily the relations of the two countries are to continue practically unchanged. Even some of Hawaii's relations with other countries are so to continue; its government ts still to exist and collect its revenues; its laws are to remain in force, however at variance with our laws, and the powers, civil, ju- dicial and military, exercised by its offi- cers are still to be exercised. It is, more- over, plainly apparent that Congress re- gards the establishment of an American government for and the extension of Amer- ican laws to the islands as matters to be attended to in the future, upon a consider- ation of the wide separation of the two countries in locality and character. “If we should hold the previous relations of the two countries altered as suggested, we should vainly look through the resolu- tion for any adequate provision for en- forcing such laws as are supposed to apply to the isiands. No arrangement is made for collecting our tonnage tax upon ves- sels of other countries entering Hawalian perts, nor is any other tax law or other law of the United States, uniess it be the law prohibiting Chinese immigration, ex- pressly or impliedly, furnished with instru- mentalities for its execution. “It seems to me that, in view of this general plan and of the express Jeclara- tion that the existing customs relations, elsewhere spoken of as ‘the present com- mercial relations,’ of the Hawaiian Islands with the United States and other countries are to remain unchanged, !t is not soing too far to say that Congress has a‘firma- tively indicated its intent that such iaws a3 our tonnage tax laws are to remain un- disturbed by the annexation of the islands until “Congress shall provide a government for such islands’ or until a commission shall advise and Congress enact ‘such leg- iIslation concerning the Hawatian Islands as they deem necessary or proper.” Vessels from Hawaiian ports, therefore, having been from foreign ports within the meaning of the tonnage tax law, have not ceased, in my opinion, to be vessels from eerie ; Wts within the meaning of that jaw." ——_—___+ + —______ TEN VESSELS SUNK. Official Reports of the Naval Opera- tions Against Manzanillo. The Navy Department has received full reports of the naval operations against Manzanillo July 18. They show that much more damage was done than is generally understood. The reports specify no less than ten Spanish vessels burned, sunk or destroyed. The list as given is as follows: Gun vessels Maria Ponton, Delgado Per- ado, Jose Garcia and Cuba Espanola, burned; transports Gloria and merchant steamer Purissima Coneptione, sunk; Es- trella, Guantanamo, Guardien and Sentinel Delgado, destroyed. ‘The American ships engaged in this op- eration were the Wi ee Scorpion, Hist, Hornet, Wampatuck an Osceola, with Commodore C. C. Todd of the Wilmington in command. The reports show that no damage was done the Ameri- can ships, and there were no casualties. The engagement lasted from 7:30 to 10 a.m. The Spanish gun vessels destroyed were mostly small ships. The Purissima Con- ceptione is a blockade runner that the navy hes been efter for a long time.

Her Preliminary Trip Shows Thay She May Run Over 30 Knots an Hour. CHICAGO, August 5.—A special to the Tribune from San Francisco say The new torpedo boat destroyer Farragut, built according to designs of and by the Union tron works, promises to be the fast- est craft ever constructed in America or plying American waters and will eclipse any naval vessel in the world. This has been indicated in the first run it has ever made. It was merely preliminary to the trial trip which is to occur next Monday. It is the intention of the builders to endeavor to run thirty knots, which speed the govern- ment requires the boat shall make. The Farragut did not go over the government course in the first run, but sped over the waters of the lower bay. The engines are up to the expectations of the builders, for they developed 3,000-horsepower of the re- quired 5,800, which is considered an extra~ ordinary performance, the engines being run at 200 revolutions a minute. The Farragut attained a speed of twenty knots an hour at this half driving, and, therefore, its builders feel sure that it will run over thirty knots. Capt. Minor Goodall was in charge of the wheel and Robert Forsythe, chief engineer of the Union iron works, was in charge of the engines. > LOSS OF AN OCEAN LINER Unknown Steamer Sank After Hitting an Iceberg. Disaster Occurred in the Siraits of Belle Isle, but No Reliable formation Yet Reached. ST. JOHN'S, N. F., August 5.—The mail steamer Virginia Lake arrived at Tilt Covi on West bay, 230 miles from here, at day- light, bringing certain corroboration of the reported loss of an ocean liner in the Straits ofof Belle Isle. A fisherman at Noddy bay reported that he saw a@ steamer collide with an iceberg and sink soon after. The report is gener- ally believed, but nothing reliable is ob- tainable. The fisherman said that the steamer look- 4 like a passenger ship, and he could see the people trying to launch the boats, but she sank before they could do anything. The Strait of Belle Isle lies between New- foundiand and Labrador and is the most northern of the two channels which con- nect the Gulf of St. Lawrence with the Atlantic ocean. It is twelve miles wide, and navigation in it is reputed to be un- safe. It is not the route taken by passen- ger liners usually. Austin Baldwin & Com- pany, the New York agents of the Allan line of steamers, said today that they were sure it was not one of their steamers which was lost. While they did not positively know the route taken by their steamers, it was known that they never went by the Straits of Belle Isle. The only other Mon- treal passenger line of steamers they knew of was the Donaldson line. They believed that passenger boats never went by that route, and that it could not have been a passenger liner, as reported. ee CYCLISTS AT INDIANAPOLIS, Crack Riders Arrive for the L. A. W. Meet. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., August 5.—The crack riders of the country have begun to arrive in Indianapolis for the L. A. W. meet. Bald, Freeman, Stevens and Kimball got in Tuesday. Major Taylor reported Wednesday, and at the same time came Gardnet and Cocper. The men are all en- thuslastic over the Newby Oval, and pre- dict that records will go glimmering next week. Chairman Foltz of the race committee says that there will be over three hundred entrizs in the national championship races. This will include all of the fast men of the country, both amateur and professional. The race for the championships is still an open one, and will be until after the na- tional meet, the riders r2cognizing the great advantage given them ty securing any one 02 the sixty-point championships at Indian- apolis, and they are all training especially for those races. The entertainment program for the meet, it 1s thought, will be the most delightful and most varied ever offered at a national meet. There will be a reception by the governor, receptions at the different clubs, banquets for the veterans and newspaper men, special out-of-doors entertainments at the parks, an all-night smoker and vaude- ville entertainment and“a dozen tours and runs over the finest roads in Indiana. One of the attractive features of the week will be the fight between Boston and Buf- falo for the big event in 1899. Both cities will send big delegations to Indianapolis, and expect to entertain with a lavish hand. Representatives from both cities have al- ready looked over the ground and secured their headquarters. The two delegations will arrive in this city Monday evening, August &. —___ THE KEY MONUMENT. Tribute to the Author of the Star Spangled Banner. Elaborate arrangements are being made for the unveiling of the memorial statue to Francis Scott Key at Frederick, Md., next Tuesday.
