Washington, May 6.-Stories which are
rife of a combination between representa-
tives of the sugar trust in this country.
and the Cuban revolutionists have received
a very strong impetus by the action of
Sugar King Havemeyer. who has been in
this vicinity until recently. It would not do
however, for him to be about any Of the
leading hotels for his tracks might not be
covered so completely as he desired, and
hence a new departure was agreed to.
Notification was given Archibald n. Bliss.
formerly congressman from Brooklyn,
but now proprietor of Overlook Inn, sit
uated a few miles east of the capitol
building, that Mr.. Havemeyer desired
quiet place where he could transact inn
portant business. 1t would be well nigh
impossible to imagine a quieter nook than
Overlook Inn which is not well patronized
at this season of the year from the fact
that congress is not in session. Hence
il was Just the spot for the sugar king,
and his friends to hold conferences, and
they have not overlooked single chance
To avail themselves of this golden oppor-

doubtless marveled at the number Of smart
eouipares which have rolled eastward

chosen few little was known what was
transpiring at this end Of the line until
all Of the arrangements and details were
completed. There has been late suppers
and jolly good time generally for week
or so at Overlook Inn, and IN almost every
instance the bills have been footed by the
sugar trusts representative from Brook
lyn 1t only leaked out to-day that MIR.
Havemeyer returned to New York from
Washington last evening, and, in fact, he
was a passenger on the midnight train All

the state department to-day with the re-
quest that steps be taken to Secure his
