EAiHADiTION OF FILIBUSTERS.
No Demand Yet Made by SDafp on
This Government

The apprehension said to exist among
Cubans in the United States owing to the
report that the Spanish government. after
taking legal advice, is about to demand
the surrender to it under the extradition
treaty OF persons engaged in filibustering
against Cuba. appears to be without sound
foundation, Inasmuch as the Spanish gov
ernment has not approached the State De-
partment on this subject up to the pres
ent, at least. Any movement in that direc-
ton would probably fail of success; first
because 1t might be expected that any
court before whom the application might
come would hold that the offense charged
was purely political, and therefore not
subject to extradition, and second because
the hiibusters of American citizenship
could not, under the treaty, be surrendered
to another nation for trial A case in
point under the last head has lust arisen
in Havana.
The New York authorities obtained papers
calling for the extradtion of a man named
Martin or Mendoza, charging him with
forging note upon the Belmonts in New
York for about $4,000, but upon present
ing the papers in Cuba, where the man
was held under arrest on another charge
the Spanish officials decided that he could
not be surrendered owing to the fact that
he was a Spanish subject.

sketches submitted by Artist Costaginni to
the joint committee on the Library of Con-
gress, as suggestions for the completion of
the historical frieze in the rotunda of the
capitol The matter attracted wide atien-
ton, especially among members of Con

when Chairman Hansbrough of the library
committee called up the resolution ap-
propriating 5000 for this purpose there
was immediate opposition to the compile

Is now announced that the sketch for this
particular picture will not be accepted, and
that at all events the Presidents portrait

saturday, the sketches REPRODUCED had

Maj. Powell Asks for an Engineer to
Take Cnpt. Eiebeger,s PIace


Major Powell Engineer Commissioner of
the District of Columbia, has applied to the
President, through Gen. Craighlll, chief of
engineers, for the detail of an officer of
the engineer corps for duty with the Dis
trict government as an assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner, to fill the vacancy
caused by the detachment of Capt. Gustav
). F1ebeger, recently appointed professor
of military and civil engineering at the
Military Academy. Major Powell considers
1T important to the interests of the District
That this office should be filled as soon as
Eossible. 1t Is understood that Cen Craig
bill has informed him that his wishes in
the matter will be complied with if it is
found practicable to do so. The vast
amount of additional work imposed upon
the engineer corps of the army by the river
and harbor and fortilication bills makes 1t
somewhat improbable however, that an
ofhcer OF that corps can be spared for duty
Under the District government, for some
