MASCOT WAS HOoDOOED
Strange Fatality Following Filibu>ter
Steamers DIN aimed In Bn Ii imore.

| Baltimore. Jan. 3o.A strange fatality
| seems to follow all the vessels that are pur-
chased in Baltimore for alleged filibustcrnC
| expeditions in the interest OF the struggling
Cuban cause. Tts.lossuf the fishing steamer
| James Woodall. after she had evidently
performed a good service for the CuhanS.
bsgan the series. The fishing steamer !.
! II. Hawkins. lost at sea on Sunday night,
and the drowning of some of the contingent
of patriots. added a second mishap To the
steamers parcha sed here for what after de-
| veloped into schemes To aid the insurgents IN
| Cuba.
| 1t is now admitted that Ia" tug Mascot,
which was purchased here last November
| by "A Mr.. Scandelli. for service. he said. at
| Port-au-Spain. Trinidad. has met with
| disaster at sea. II is reasonably supposed
| that the Mascot has been lost. with all on
| board. Her crew of nine men belonged to
Baltimore. Her master. Capt. A. Nc
| Cready. belonged TO New York.
Two months ago yesterday the Mascot
passed ont the capes for the port Of san
Lucia. where Capt. McCready said he would
first touch for coal To- continue to his dcs-
tination. Since then not one word has
been heard from the crew. several of whom
faithfully promised their relatives To write
upon their arrival at the first port. Ii was
expected to make San Lucia in twelve
days at the most.
Those who had Something Ia do with
the purchase of the Macot say that it is
very probable that the Mascot was caught
in the act of smuggling contra band of
war by some Spanish man-Of-war. which
ran her down to make quick work of the
| boat and her occupants. Again. the know
| ing say that she is quietly plying her busi-
ness along the Cuban coast.
Both explanations are regarded as un,en-
able. as the purchaser OF the boat said lie
bought her Tor the owner and manufacturer
of the Angostura bitters. who lives at Port
uu Spain. 1t is more generally accepted
that the Mascot was lost in the hurricane
that prevailed along the West Indies and
along the coast of the United States soon
after she left the capcs. The relatives
of some of the men on board have given up
hopes of hearing from those on boards

no MORE OVERHEAD TROLLEY
New system of Street Car Propulsion
Tried In Connecticut.

Bridgeport. Conn. Jan. 30.-In the little
town of WcStnort, eight miles from here,
there viii he tried in a few weeks a
new system Of street car propulsion. which,
if successful. will rcvolutioniZe the cleo
trio world.
1t will mean the abandonment of the pres.
ont trolley system entirely. IL does away
with the overhead work altogether and
will he greater commercial success he
cause the road can be built at much
lower cost.
The system was invented by Cc.ot. J.
Murphy. formerly of the New York fire
department, and is backed by syndiCat tie
of wealthy men. Westport was selected
for the experiment because new electric
system is being constructed there, and al
though close to New York the experiment
could he made without attracting much at.
tcntion outside.

CONVINCED OF vILLAINY.
Cubnns in Washington Believe the
Hawkes. Wus Scuttled.

Cubnns in Washington Believe the
Hawkins WINS Scuttled.
There is little doubt in the minds of the
| Cubans in Washington that the sinking of
the steamer Hawkins was the result OF
| Spanish treachery and design. The leaders
in this country have IL ken pains to look into
the affair, and md that in the case Of the
Hawkins she was proceeded with far differ
emily from other filibustering vessels which
have beensuspectcd. Ithas bccnthe custom
| of the Spanish when suspec:ing n Cuban ves-
sci To instantly communicate their suspicious
the vessel detained.
| This was not done in the case of the Haw-
kins. She was allowed TO leave the port,
and when it was believed she had reached
deep water the United States authorities
were communicated with and two govern
ment boats dispatched to capture the sup
posed filibustcr.
The facts in the case show. however, that
as soon as Hawkins reached deep water in
rounding Long Island n leak was dis
covered. So rapidly did She fill that it was
too late to keep the boat from sinking, and
not only that. but when the pumps We're
reached, it was found they had been filled
with coal. Some one had evidently been
tampering with the vessel. Eravcly the
men aboard went To work with the buckets,
and succeeded in keeping the boat aflOat
until off Sandy Hook.
These facts, sd i'll Cuban representative
here this morning. tell the tale without any

quent Real Estate Dealers.
FIFTY FIRMS ARE INVOLVED

form Association Offers Substi-
stitute for the Age-of-COnsent Bill
and Wants Sunday Observance En-
forced-Minor District Matters.

1t is not alone the hotels that are de-
| lnquent in the matter Of procuring their
| business licenses for the current year. The
| license Inspector has under ADJUSTMENT the
proposition To proceed against a number
OF real estate dealers who. from negligence
| Or other cause. have failed 50 far Ia make
| application for the permits necessary to
| aprosecItion of the business in the District.
| 1t is learned that there are not less than
! fifty real estate men who are today con-
| Quoting offices and managing n large per-
| centagc Of the business contrary to the
provisions of the license regulations. and
prosecutions may follow in Il few days un-
| less the parties respond ut once To the re-
Iuiremcnts.
| The fee in each case is $50 per annum.
| and il is pa yable in November of each year.
! There is not one of the fifty. perhaps,
whose delinquency may not be charged 10
| neglect, II habit which, the officials de-
clare has grown into proportions very
much beyond due bounds.
Mr.. W. F. Crufts of the National Blu
| reau of Reform called upon the Commits
sioners today in advocacy Of IA substitute
measure for the aec-of-cOnsent bill now
before Congress. in which the limit 1.
placed between fourteen and eighteen years.
hr. Cruits also asked the Commissioners
to give Endorsement 10 the bill Introduced
io- sabbath observance.
Au we ask. gentlemen lie said, "iS
that the capital of the nation shall have
such a law as is enforced In all the States
OF the Union with but two exceptions. Cal
ifurnia and Idaho"
He spoke Of the prevalence of huckstcrs on
the streets on Sundays, the opening OF
shops on that day, and the evident disregard
Of the sanctity Of the Sabbath, and while
he admitted that Washington is rot 50 bad
as other cities, in this respect, lie believed
the enactment OF the law To be necessary.
He cited the fact that but FOR a clerical
error Washington would today have a Sun
dag observance law. II happened, he said.
when the city was governed by Il mayor;
that Il mistake was made which invalidated
the enactment, and that blunder has never
been rcUtiricd.
II is understood that a report of the COM
nIttce having the bill i'll charge will bc sub
millod To the Commissioners, within few
days. when they will decide upon a recon-
mgEuatiOn.

HAWKINS was ScUTTLED
Continued from First Page.

1t is hard TO findranyone who will admit
knowing anything about the Hawkins, or
having had anything to do with her.
District Attorney MacFarlane said today
there have been no warrants issued yet in
this case, and that no action would be
taken until he had very conclusive evil
dcnce.
President Palma made his appearance
ut the Cuban headquarters at 9:15 O'Clock.
He was exceedingly cautious in his utter
ances today, and he declared thit the
Hawkins party was not military cxped:-
ton. Anyhow. ne said, the Cuban Junta
had nothing to do with sending it out. 1t
was Gen. Garcis's own private party.
