Improvement of the Flats.

The members OF the Committee on Rivers
and Harbors who made IN inspection Of
the Potomac Flats Saturday, are reported
TO have been profoundly impressed by the
shocklngly filthy condition Of those marshes
and to have agreed that something should
be done to bring about different state
OF affairs at the earliest possible moment.
A small appropriation, it is said, will be
recommended to begin the work Of i'm
provement at the commencement of the
next fiscal year.
1t is all right about the appropriation,
but why a small one? We have had any
quantity OF experience with small appro-
priations, and it has been invariably
to the effect that nothing of any conse-
quence has been accomplished, and the
work, in the end, cost a great deal more
than If a sufficient sum for it all had
been granted at the outset. Engineer
Officers have always insisted that work
on river and harbor improvements had
been unnecessarily retarded and been

present instance, if any real good is to
be accomplished, the appropriation ought
TO be sufficient to do the work systemat-
1calIy and comprehensively.
The flats inspected Saturday by the
Ia awmakers are serious menace to the
health Of the District ana If it is really
the intention to make them harmless, it
stands TO reason that the change cannot
be brought any too soon. In view OF the
fact that true economy suggests an appro-
priation large enough to attack the malari-
Gus flats IN more places than one, and
complete the work of reclamation as
speedily as possible, it would seem proper
to move to amend by striking ont the word
small
However, "beggars can't be choosers,''
says the old adage, and as the District
appears to stand in that relation to Con
gress, though it should not, it is probable
that we shall have to be thankful for small
favors and hope for larger ones at some
other time.

Postmaster General Wilson, who
lectured Saturday in Middleton,
Connecticut, was given an ovation
by the students of Wesleyan Uni
versity. If the causes were analysed
it would be difficult to see the reason
for such a demonstration. The gen.
tleman in question has proven a
monumental failure in everything he
has undertaken save, perhaps, in the
vocation of school teacher. As the
author of the Infamous Wilson bill,
he contrived a measure which has
brought untold misery upon the
American people; as postn, aster-
general he has succeeded in making
that office remarkable for its deficits
even as chairman of a national Dem
ocratic convention he showed his in
capacity to govern body of men.
Altogether this pseudo statesman is
of cheap-John variety. and the
sooner he is sent back to his West
Virginia home relieved of the cares
of state, the better it will be for the
nation he has helped to mismanage.

HISTORY RECALLED.

The ne wspapers of Spain profess
their inability to understand the at
titude maintained by the American
people regarding the Cuban revolu-
tion. The Spaniards accustomed
for centuries to monarchlcal rule fail
to realize the passionate desire for
freedom, which the speople of the
Western Hemisphere possess. Cap
tain General Weyler expresses aston
ishment that nation like the United
States, which has long been on good
relations with Spain, should declare
its sympathy with the men who are
struggling against Spanish domina-
tion in Cuba.
The circumstances in this instance
are peculiar. The situation is not
that of two nations fighting for
supremacy, but of one people strug
Cling for independence, for release
from foreign rule, which has ever
been cruel, exacting and but little
removed from barbarlsm. General
Weyler can find the answer to his
queries in the history of the former
Cuban revolution, which occurred
some twenty years ago. The whole
story of that period is black with
Spanish atrocity, no incident of
which tells a more fiendish tale than
that known as the Virginius massacre
This occurrence is recalled by the
publication in an illustrated weekly
of the pictures published in 1873,
depicting this bloody slaughter.
The Virginius was an American
steamer which had been purchased by
friends of the Cuban revolutionists.
In 1873 she set sail for Cuba, but a
break in her machinery caused a
temporary stop at Jamaica. After
leaving that port the Virginius was
pursued and captured by Spanish
man-of-war and taken to the port
Santiago de Cuba. Notwithstanding
the fact that The Virginius was cap
tured in British waters while flying
an American flag, the Spanish off
Gals disregarded all rights of foreign
Intervention and by a drum head
court martial condemned the cap
tain and crew 20 death.
The number of the unfortunates
exceeding two hundred, it was nee
essary to divide them into detach-
ments, and within few hours af-
ter their condemnation thirty-six
men were led to the slaughter house
for execution. The men were lined
along trench with their backs to
the soldiery, and, as described by an
eye witness, s'the commanding off
GERS gives the fatal signal, the men
fire, and the wretched objects of
Spanish hate and vengeance fall
headlong into the shallow trench,
some dying and others wounded but
alive. Then comes the crowning
barbarity. A company of artillery,
till now kept in reserve, gallops for
ward and crushes, with the broad
and heavy wheels of the guns, dying,
dead and wounded into one undis-#
tinguishable mass" The remainder

ST. LOUIS, May -. VI ooo
greatest disasters Of recent years
has overtaken this city. A cyclone
struck the river section of the city,
causing immense destruction in
the channel and upon both banks.
Steamers were torn from their
moorings, capsized and wrecked (;
large buildings were demolished
and hundreds buried beneath their
ruins: fire broke out in several
parts of the city and the obstruct-
ed condition of the streets rem
dered effective service almost i'm
possible. The tornano which struck
the city at about 8 o'clock last
night blew at the rate Of so miles
an hour. During that time the
whole face Of the city was changed,
hundreds OF people hurled into
eternity and millions of property
destroyed.
The exact amount can not be
even estimated with any degree OF
certainty. The terrible tornado
that caused this destruction struck
the city yesterday afternoon at S:l5
O'Clock, and all parts Of this city
and East st. Louis felt its effects.
The greatest damage on this side
Of the river was inflicted within
a three-mile trip along the mighty
stream.
Many buildings totally collapsed
from the force Of the wind, others
were unroofed, while very few in
the city escaped some injury.
Signs and cornices were torn of,
shade trees and everything else
suffered from the strength Of the
wind. Hours Of depressing sultri-
ness, puffs OF wind coming by turns
from all points Of the compass, the
piling up of heavy clouds around
the horizon, the flying hither and
thither of light, mist-like forma.
tions across the dull, dark-colored
masses, these were characteristics
of an afternoon which brought to
st. Louis the most disastrous storm
in the city's history. For hours
the currents shifted, the wind blew,
the fury Of the elements was borne
in the city's limits. In the west a
thunder storm developed. The
early mutterings indicated nothing
more alarming than a downpour
OF rain, with the ordinary electri-
cal accomplishments. This rain
cloud came up slowly from the
west, beyond Forest Park. AS the
black rim mounted higher above
the horizon its arc embraced more
territory to the north and sodth.
A strong wind from the east be-
gan to blow right in the face OF the
storm. Itwas q lower current. 1t
raised the rain cloud and brought
it forward faster and faster. Sud-
denly the wind stopped blowing
from the east and there swept
from the northwest terrific gale
which made the best built struc-
lures tremble. With the hurri-
cane, for that was the first form
the storm took when it broke over
the western part of the city, came a
deluge OF rain. For half an hour,
from q few minutes before 5 until
nearly $50, the hurricane blew
from the northwest. There came q

Vinton IT Braintree, by whom she had
four children. He died in 1926, and on
March 1880, she married Godfrey M.

The best records show that Godfrey was
18 at that time, though later In life he
claimed to have been younger. The two
boys had promised each other that they
would not run when the fight came, but
when the ammunition failed and the
Americans retreated they found them
selves cutting q very lively gait to the

Draper was afterwards leader OF the
