Can't. cro..n,nn,s Denial.

Captsin Crossman of the Alliance said
yesterday, when questioned about report
from Cuba that launch had left his ves-
sci fer the shore:
II am about tired of answering the alb
surd rumors and suggestions set in motion
by the Spanish government and minister
to Washington regarding the firing on my
ship, and shall pay no more attention to
them. The statement that a launch was
seen to leave the Alliance before the
Spanish gunboat fired on us is lie, pure
and simple 1 never had launch aboard,
never expect to have one, and don't know
that I want one. 1 have no doubt that the
Spanish officials know what gunboat it
was that fired on us and chased U.S. Their
pr etense of not knowing is rot"

So much attention has been attracted Of

readers briefly to review it's history, organi-
cation and purposes, and to give an outline
of it's program for the remainder of the

Interesting Happenings ON the Other

Interesting happenings ON the Other
Side of Rock Creek.
The first canal boat from Cumberland
will probably be here next Sunday If
mules are driven both night and day Fri
day will witness the arrival of the first
1895 cargo.
Mules are never hustled on the first one
or two trips of the season. They are turn
ed out during the winter to Craze in scanty
pastures, and are consequently weak until
they build themselves up on the regulation
feed when the spring opens up. Twenty
one boats left Cumberland yesterday laden
with coal. Others left ports this side for
Georgetown with miscellaneous cargoes
The canal business promises to arouse more
tiations are now pending between shippers
here and ship owners of the northern ports
looking to the entering of vessels into the
Georgetown trade.
The Gre,st Falls Railroad.
To promote the construction of the long
awaited Great Falls and Washington rail-
road and get the necessary subscription to
the stock, it has been determined by the
prime movers in the enterprise to deed to
every one who subscribes to 81 900 worth
of stock land along the line of the road of
an equal value. This it is thought, will
dissipate all hesitancy on the part of those
who look upon the undertaking as a risk,
for even should the road not pan out sue
cessfully subscribers will hold land equal
in value to all the money they put in.
Those who are forging the construction
ahead control most all the best land on
the roads line.
The Ii. and O.'s Southern Extension.
The Baltimore and Ohio's engineers, who
have been for some weeks running lines for
the Metropolitan Southern branch extern
sion, have crossed the country from Beth
esda, to which point all grading has been
done, to the Chain bridge, and are now pre-
pairing to cross the Potomac to make the
Virginia surveys. The lines will be run
about midway between Falls Church and
Dunn-Loring. 1t is proposed to cross the
Potomac over High Island, which was
bought presumably by railroad men, last
summer from Maj. Geo. Hill of Georgetown
So It is und ,rstood that this Great Falls
electric road will have formal connection
with the Metropolitan Southern just to the
north of the Chain bridge, and that con-
siderable amount of commercial matter will
be brought into Washington through this
end, from the sections Of Virginia, Mary
land and West Virginia the Metropolitan
Southern is designed to open up and bring
into ready communication with Washing
ton and neighboring cities. This will mean
much convenience to West End merchants
their implements, etc, with the residents
of Harlem. to the west of Georgetown. 1t
is reported that the Baltimore and Ohio
will look to the construction of warehouses
etc, at the point where the two lines will
meet,

DIR. PARkHuRsT GRATIFIED.
Expresses Satisfaction With the In
dfctment of Police.

Expresses Subtraction With the In.
dfctment of Police.
DR.. Parkhrrst expressed much satisfac-
ticn last night at New York regarding In
dictments of police officers. reported in
yesterdays Star.
1.-THE presentment5 and the Indictments"
he said, "reaftirm with a very important
addition the position taken by the grand
jury of 1872.
TT is gratifying to know that the jury
are inclined to Judge leniently the in
ferior ranks of the force and 1t is just
as satisfactory to know that the superior
officers are to be held responsible for the
corruption which permeates the depart
rnent.
THE fact that only a comparatively
limited number of Indictments, seeming
ly. has been found, some of which. doubt
less, when tried, will not result in convic-
lions, only goes to show that from the
very nature of the case relief is not to be
secured by the ordinary process Of the
courts, but that we are obliged to look
for publication of the force in the medium
of legislation.
This, then, is the unfortunate position
in which we are placed. The courts can
not do it, and the senators will not do 1t.
IF we can judge from appearances, the
Lexow people at Albany would rather We
should tester in police rot than to sur
render their hold on patronage. Legis-
lative perquisites count more with them
than municipal decency and cleanliness.
"A striking feature of the presentment
is it's brief but weighty characterization
of the official iniquity practiced by the
superintendent, made all the more effective
by the fact that it is based entirely on the
superintendent's own enforced confession.
This presentment, together with the In
dictments, forms one more interesting
and determined chapter in the history or
our municipal regeneration.
DIR. Parkhurst added that there was q
probability, even likelihood. that the jury
would return more indictments than those
in the first lot. The jury is willing to sit
until April 1 and continue the work. Tho
ohstinacy Of police officers. he said. In re-
fusing to give testimony had prevented

ANOTHER SCHOONER FIRED ON,
A Report That the Irene Was Damag
ed by Spanish Shot.

A Key West special to the New York
Herald today says: THE latest report is to
the effect that the schooner Irene was fired
into and dismasted by the Spanish cruiser
Infanta Isabel. The news was brought to
this city this afternoon by a vessel en-
ged in the cattle trade between this port
and the mainland. The Irene is small
schooner, owned in this port by Canary Is
LADDERS. She has been employed in the fish
trade all winter, but within the past few
days returned with party of court officials
from Fort Myers, where an important MUIR
der trial has been held. She afterward
sailed for the fish ranch at Punta Gorda.
where, 1t was reported, an expedition sailed
for Cuba. This point has been under sur
veillance by the Spanish cruiser, and the
schooner was followed from here and fired
into. This Is the report given by fishermen
at the ranch to a vessel which has just ar
rived. The family and owner and the crew
of the Irene live here, and considerable
alarm has been occasioned tonight by the
news"

Assistant Postmaster General Jones has
ordered the dismissal of letter carrier at
Youngstown, Ohio. An inspector had made
a report on the case. and the carrier was
charged with conspiracy in trying to de-
feat the order of the Postmaster General
making regulations preventing overtime
charges. 1t was learned that the Youngs-
town carrier had taken advantage of leave
of absence to go to Canton, and was about
to perfect an organization of letter car
riers SO that they would stand by each
other and prevent the discharge Of any
man for any cause whatever. Mr.. Jones
says that combinations among employees of
this kind will not be tolerated.

ORANGE BLIGHT.

a disease which has destroyed thou
sands of bearing trees in this State,
and which has baffied all efforts at its
investigation, has appeared in Califor-
MIA. 1t Is noticed in the Maryvile
Appeal as follows:
In nearly all of the orange groves
throughout the northern citrus belt
there are number of orange trees
affected with disease known by the
common names Of blight" "go back"
or wilt" The first sign exhibited
by the trees attacked Is a sudden
willing of the leaves, and in a major
ity of cases the entire top is affected,
which soon shrivels up and dies. This
disease is very destructive and trees
attacked by it rarely ever recover the
trunk remains green and fresh for a
time, and If the shriyeled tops are cut
off, new roots will often start out
lower down, but they never attain
any important growth, as the tree
eventually dies completely.
"Blight" or ''gO back" is undOubt-
edly a disease of the roots. On TAX
ing out a number Of the diseased
trees, a few days ago, the roots were
found to be badly decayed and gave
off sour and sickening odor.
The cause Of the disease, or the
remedy for it, is entirely unknown;
that it is connected with excessive
moisture or rainfalls every observer
must admit that it is not caused by
water alone is equally true;
