MIR. Mannfx on Cuba,

The illustrated lecture on Cuba before
the Geographic Society at Metzerott Hall
next Friday evening promises to be one of
the most interesting and well-attended lee
lures of the season. The lecturer is Will
liam F. Mannix, whose letters to The Star
from the island in question have been read
with avidity by so many people, and who
is probably better equipped than any man
In this country to give true portrayal of
island. and are now going on. His subject
is "Cuba, AS Seen by War Correspondent"
and the views which he will present are
from pictures made under his personal SUI
pervision. There Is a limited number of
tickets on sale at Metzerotts, and the sup
Ply is fast growing smaller by the inroads
made upon it by those interested in the
struggle going on for Cuban independence

Grafton for services, he stated, is but
meager, and as a bill has been introduced
in Congress to .reorganiZe our army and
navy, an amendment thereto should be in
troduced through the efforts of the league,
CHASING bandmasters as commissioned Of
ficers and all bandsmen as Eon-commis-
stoned officers, with the rank and pay Of
such. Their military duties should be rcgu-
lated by statute and there should be a pro-
hibition regarding the employment of gov
eminent bands for private purposes by any
officer.
Such an arrangement, said President
Bremen would enable good and competent
musicians to enlist, would secure perma-
nent positions for them, elevate the now
degraded standard Of the United States
government bands. and be effective in pre-
venting further competition with civilian
musicians.
The matter of af1iliation Of the musical
locals, members of the Federation of La
Dor and the knights Of Labor, was touched
upon, as were q number of other matters
of interest to the delegates.
An exhaustive report by the committee
on the army and navy band question was
submitted, giving the details of the con-
troversy and other statistics. A copy was
ordered to be sent to Congress AMI to the
Secretary of War.

Metropolitan ROAD An.wer..

Several days ago the Capital Traction
Company sought to enjoin the Metropolitan
Railroad Company from laying its under
ground electric propulsion system on Flor
ida avenue from 18th street to the east
building line of Connecticut avenue. Today
the Metropolitan company filed its answer,
denying that the Capital Traction Company
owns the double track on the disputed ter
ritory. The defendant company also denies
that it intended in any way to injure the
complainant company and claims that 1t is
fully authorized by law to build its pro-
posed road out Connecticut avenue over the
disputed territory.

Strange Features.
The horrible mutilation Of the body is one
of the most difficult features of the case to
understand. The right side Of the mans
throat was cut from the ear downward for
a distance of several inches. Yet the razor
With which this was done was locked up in
bureau drawer along with the little toy
bank when the murderer entered the
house. 1t is evident that the mans skull
vas crushed with the brick before his
throat was cut. and he may have been
dead even then. There were jagged cuts
about the shoulders, and his nose and right
thumb were both mashed to a jelly. He
was little wizened-up man, who was UNI
able to move without the aid Of crutches.
and the murderer seems to have taken ma
hcious pleasure in the mutilation of his
victim. He must have remained some lit
tie time in the room after the murder, for
he made thorough examination of the
bureau, took away with him an old pistol
tfat he found in one Of the drawers and
stopped to break open the little bank before
he left.
