has made report to the War Department
Of the work Of improving the receiving res
ervoir of the Washington aqueduct during
the month of December. The excavation Of
the main drainage tunnel was carried on
night and day. Careful work was necessi-
tated by the fact that the tunnel was sp-
preaching tunnel No. 4, through which is
carried the entire water supply of the city
At the end of the month the heading was
1-2 feet beyond the point of crossing The
rock is solid and appears likely to ,onti1u
so until all danger to the aqueduct tunnel
has been passed. From the beginning of the
work to the end of the month the tunnel
has been driven a distance of go feet The
excavation of the shaft in Little Falls val
ley was also carried on without Interrupt
ton. Contracts have been awarded to Nc
Mahon. Porter & Company of New Cumber-
land. w. Va, for furnishing 10000 yitrified
brick, and to the Frederick, Nd, brick
works for 100000. During the present
month it is proposed to complete the ex-
cavation of the shaft and to continue the

That the action Of Capt. j. d. Rhodes Of
this city in pretending to enlist men for
service in the Brazilian army was without
the sanction or authority Of the Brazilian
government and was discountenanced by
the State and War Departments. Capt
Rhodes kept on his career of recruiting
until he ran up against the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad CO., with disastrous results
When he had induced about hundred mis-
guided persons in different parts Of the
country to consent to go to Brazil he
wrote to the agent of the railroad for in
formation as to rates to New York, which
he said had been selected as the place Of
embarkation. The agent prudently consult

suit that Capt. Rhodes was notified that
the railroad found 1t would be unable to
make special rates for the transportation
OF his mythical troops. Senior Mendonca,
the minister's son and secretary, does not
hesitate to denounce Rhodes and his en-

were being fitted out in New York some
weeks ago." he said yesterday, Rhodes
came to my father and unfolded his scheme
for raising troop of sharpshooters for SER
vice under the Brazilian flag. My father
told him he would have nothing to do with
such an affair and would give him no au-
so. Several times since then the minister
has written and telegraphed Rhodes that
he should stop his Misrepresentation, but
it has seemed to do no good"

Both Dismissed.

The light house at Lower Cedar Point,
Maryland. was destroyed by fire Christmas
night. The circumstances Of the fire were
investigated by officers of the light house
establishment and as a result Of their re-
port Acting Secretary Curtis today directed
the removal of Benjamin r. Grymes, jr.,
keeper, and John Field, assistant keeper
of the light house. This action was based
on the recommendation Of the light house
board The report Of the investigate
committee showed that the keeper was alb
sent without leave at the time of the fire.
and that the assistant keeper, who was the
only one present at the time, displayed de-
cidedly more interest in protecting his own
property than in looking after that of the
government

The Shooting of Cant, Hedberw.

Lieut.. Col. George H. Burton Of the in
spector generals department reported to
the War Department this morning that he
had completed the investigation of the ad-
ministration Of affairs at the military post
at Fort Sheridan, which also included an
Investigation of the circumstances that
led to the killing Of Capt. Alfred Hedberg
by Lieut.. Nancy. Col. Burton had an in
terview with Secretary Lamont on the sub
ject, the result of which Is not known. 1t
is understood however, that he has not yet
completed the preparation of his official
report and until that is submitted 1t is not
likely that any action will be taken by the
department in the matter. This investiga-
ton is said to have been inspired by charges
made by the wife of the deceased to the
effect that Capt. Hedberg had been perse-
cuted at the military post and that his
death was the result Of gross laxity in the
discipline maintained at Fort Sheridan.
