Bust of Van Buren,,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Will you kindly allow me little space in
your valuable and popular paper to correct
a misstatement made in your issue of Tues
day evening, May 26. where. in speaking
of the work Of James P. Voorhees,, the son
of the Senator from Indiana, the bust of
Martin Van Buren,, now in the Senate, was
spoken Of as his work. In February, 1894,
I received the commission to execute in
marble a bust of Martin Van Buren, for one
Of the vacant inches in the Senate, etc.,
and delivered the same to Mr.. Clark, archi-
tect Of the Capitol, in the latter part of
July, 1894, having executed the whole
work myself.
The bust was highly spoken Of then and
since; and one cannot complacently see an
other get the credit for a meritorious work,
to which he alone is entitled.

YELLOW FEVER

And Other Plaques Reported to the
United States.
WASHINGTON, Sept. THE surgeon
general of the Marine hospital service
has received no recent information con-
cerning the prevalence of cholera on
the Nile. His latest reports we're dated
in the latter part of July and indi-
Gated that there were then an aver
age of about 100 deaths a week in
Cairo caused by this disease and more
than half that number in Alexandria.
There had been II, 900 deaths from the
disease in Egypt up to July 20, out of
13,343 cases. Reports of the surgeon
general also indicate the continued
prevalence of yellow fever and small
pox in Cuba, and that the fever is es-
pecially prevalent in the Spanish army.
1t is, however. impossible to obtain
exact information from this source.
Two hundred new cases of fever were
reported in Havana for the week end
ing August 81 with II deaths. Fifty of
the deaths occurred in the military
hospitals, where there were 1872 new
cases. There were 100 new cases of
smallpox in the city for the same
week, with II deaths. The latest re-
port from Santiago de Cuba is that
smallpox is decreasing there, while
yellow fever is on the increase as to
numbers and growing more and more
malipnant

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Sept. THE
activity of the Spaniards in Strength.
ening the Notifications arouLd Hava-
ma and other coast cities is due, it is
said, to the fear of war with the United
States. Col Ordonez, the chief engi.
neer of the Spanish army, has arrived at
Havana from Madrid, and is superin-
tending the work. Capt. Gen. Weyler
Is reported to have said that he wants
the Notifications rendered as nearly
impregnable as possible, as he is con.
vinced that Spain will have trouble
with the United States soon after Pres.
ident Cleveland vacates the white
house.
The patriots are using dynamite very
effectively against the Spaniards, ac-
cording to advices received here. The
Spanish authorities sent out military
train over the United railway last
Tuesday. The train carried great
quantity of ammunition, several thou
sand rifles, four field pieces, medical
supplies, clothing and money for the
troops operating in Santa Clara prov
ince. Three hundred soldiers acted as
escort, and two armored cars were at,
tached, into which they might retreat
in case of attack by patriots. The pa
triots attacked the train soon after it
left the village of Esperanza
The locomotive was ditched by a
dynamite bomb, and the engineer and
fireman killed. Spanish troops tried
to disperse the patriots, but were met
by such hot fire that they retreated
to the armored cars. The troops were
called upon to surrender. but refused,
and the patriots hurled dynamite
bombs against the armored cars,
wrecking them and killing and wound.

| Spaniards were killed outright, and
about eighty of them wounded, many
of them mortally. The patriots then
looted the train of arms, ammunition

Elected Commander-in- Chief.

Gen. E. c. Mason, president of the
st. Paul citizens committee, was chair
man of the public exercises with which
the encampment was opened. On the
platform were high officials of Mime
apolis and st. Paul., Commander.in-
Chief Walker, vice.Commanders Hob
son and Cosgrove, Surgeon General
Whiting, Chaplain -in-Chief Tiff, MEM
bers of the national staff, past COM
manders-in-chief and officers of the
women's organizations. 1t was brill
liant semi-military and civic assem-
blage.
Chaplain Tiff offered prayer and a
warm welcoming speech was made by
Mayor Doran on behalf of st. Paul.
Capt. Henry A. Castle, chairman of the
press committee spoke in a similar
sentiment, and the Modoc club, of To-
peka, Kas.. sang "Up in Old st. Paul"
Gov. Clough extended the greetings
of Minnesota and Gen Walker re-
turned the thanks of the Grand Army
for the lavish and hearty hospitality
which had been showered upon the
city's guests.
After the exercises all but Grand
Army men were requested to leave the
hall and the encampment went into
executive session. The first business
done was to hear the report of the
oommander-in-chief
The report shows that the total
membership of the Grand Army of the
= Republic is 3s5, 4O6, of which $40, $40 are
in good standing and AZ, 5l1 are carried
on the suspended list for non-payment
of dues, decrease in this list during
the past year of 1859 The gain by
muster during the year was 10, 487. In
this recapitulation the department of
Pennsylvania shows loss of $3.50
members that have been erroneously
carried on the rolls for several years
and were counted in the last report.
The total loss during the year was II,
4O6, of which number 1898 was by
death, which is a decrease of 75 from
last year.
The report of the quartermaster-gen-
eral shows the finances to be in good
condition, and that there has been a
reduction in expenses aside from that
paid out by order of the encampment
in fitting up rooms for our archives and
custodian's salary, and in prosecuting
the Long pension case.
Another military street spectacle

Mr. Moore attributes this agitation
