SMITH UNDER CONTACT.

When the Brown system was adopted as
the first TO be introduced, the Smith was
named as the second, and Mr.. Warfield
entered into a formal preliminary contract
with the propnetors 10 have a furnace of
their pattern constructed as soon as the
CommissioDe should direct it. Since
then, however, as now understood, there
has been but little correspondence between
the parties, and lately the claims of the
Dixon and the Brown have been urged
upon the Commissioners, but the efforts
to secure recognition have evidently been
Of no avail.
Commissioner Powell was asked yester-
day afternoon whether or not the beard
was inclined TO introduce either of the
systems last named, instead of the Smith
and he replied in the negative.
There were but wo systems decided upon
at the time the construction OF the presenS
one WAS ordered, and the Commissioners
have not changed their opinions. II the
Smith people are ready to commence the
construction, the contractor will no doubt

street plant, was at the conference yester-
day To urge the adoption of his method for
the second construction He declared that
his furnace is now consuming the garbage

He argued that he had demonstrated
the utility OF the crernatory. and had shown
1t TO be preferable as a method OF refuse
disposal In addition, be claimed that his
system is the hest In the country, and IN
proof OF his faith. offered TO submit he
South Capitol street furnace to a test ex-
animation by experts, in comparison with
any other method anywhere.
Tie Commissioners would not recede from
the original proposition, however, enti the
Smith plant now has the inside track in
the race.
IL is evident that the Commissioners have
not the slightest intention of abandoning
cremation as process for the destruction
OF refuse. One OF them idyesterday that
the reduction process is not advisable here.
1t was his opinion that the method cannot
be employed anywhere without producing
offensive odors. He said the plant would
have to be located in a sparsely settled
suburb and The expense. to n Community
such as Washington would be much more
than by the cremation plan.
The new crematory, as heretofore stated
in The Times, will bc located in square 50
near the old Naval Observatory, on she
site originally selected, and which was
purchased by Mr. warfieid several months
ago.

Beheaded and New Govern
ment Formed.

San Francisco, March 5.--The steam
er China arrived today from Yokoha-
ma, bringing news of another coup
d'etat on an extensive scale at Seoul,
Corea. On February 10 a detachment
OF Russian marines, numbering 127,
arrived in Seoul from Jinsen. The Cor
can king and the crown prince went
into the Russian legation and formed
new government, dismissing all the
former cabinet ministers. Premier Kim
Hong Tsuh and seven other cabinet
ministers, known as pro-Japanese
statesmen, were beheaded and their
corpses dragged around the streets. A
decree, said to have been signed by
the king at the Russian legation, order
ed that the heads of five Of the muir
dered ministers be fixed on spikes and
exposed.
All telegraph wires from Seoul were
then cut and only meager news of the
coup was obtainable. On receipt of the
news of these occurrences, American,
British and French men-of-war landed
detachments of marines who immedi-
ately left for Seoul The king Is said
to have been induced to his action
through desire to avenge the murder
of the queen last October All the
members of the new ministry are said
to be connected with the Min family,
of which the murdered queen was a
member.
The Toxic papers attribute the kings
actions to the influence of the Russian
minister. The Russian embassy where
the king continues to reside Is guarded
by 200 Russian marines.

England Claims All Territory Ceded
by the Dutch.

London, March 6.-The British blue
book on the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute was laid on the table ef the house
of commons today. The following are
some of the points given in justifica-
ton of the position of Great Britain;
That during the whole period from
164S to 1896 the Dutch Iad uninterrupted
possession of the coast line and the riv-
er Corentino Barima. They explored all
the rivers in the adjacent districts, the
farthest point occupied by the Spani-
ards being Tummeremo, founded in
1873. Before 1896 the Dutch had posses
sion of the whole basin of the Cuyuni.
The Spaniards exercised no authority
in the territory now in dispute Great
Britain In becoming possessor of the
colony, succeeded 10 all the rights oi
the Dutch.
The blue book contains many maps
and charts of early date, illustrating
various boundary lines referred to in

MUSICIANS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE
War May Be Carried Into the Nominat-
Ing Conventions.

st. Louis. March cit Is not improb-
able that, as result of the war be
tween the Theatrical Stage Employees
Union and the National League of Mu-
seians, the committee on arrangements
for the republican national convention
may arrive at the decision, "A plague
o both your houses" and conclude that
the gathering can get through with its
oratory, its platform and its president
and vice president making without the
accompaniments Of Hail, Columbia"
Rally Round the Flag, Boys" "The
Star Spangled Banner" and the patri
otto melodies with which previous gath
erings of the kind have been enliv
ened.
The trouble between the two organiza-
tions is national in its character, and
the local branch of the theatrical stage
union has decided to make a proposition
to furnish the convention with an or
chestra of 100 Pieces free of charge with
the provision that no negotiations shall
be entered into between the national
league of musicians. The latter or
ganization, 1t is understood, viii make
a similar proposition, and the fight for
supremacy will be waged even if the
| lives of the members of the response
bic committee are made burden. The
same tactics are to be pursued with
the democratic convention in Chicago.
Previous experiences. however. have
| indicated that the orchestra end of ma
| tional political conventions is some-
| times very much of a nuisance, especial
| ly when the electrical attachment be-
| tween the chairman's desk and the band
| gallery refuses to work, as was the
case at the republican convention in
Minneapolis four years ago. when on
one occasion it took 20 minutes for a
messenger to reach the gallery and
stem off the music that had been un-
| guardedly started at critical mo-
ment, and the local committee may
| therefore be glad OF the bitter war be-
| tween the rival labor unions, as an ex-
| cuse 70 dispense with music altogether.

Havana. March 6.-The captain gem

lamation of which the following is

my attention has been drawn to the

itary officers and the army officers in
the country and towns proceed to ar
rest citizens who are afterwards placed
at my disposal to be deported from the
island without reasonable cause for
such measures. and having pointed out
in my previous circulars the charges
pertaining to war, jurisdiction and the
formalities with said circulars, that ar
rests must be justified with all reasons
and proofs possible, so as to proceed
with all justice against the prisoners.
Therefore, the authorities and army
officers win SO order in every case Of
every one who is arrested proofs
enough to establish his guilt. Written
information must be made with all the
facts that can be had through verbal
or confidential Information. These req
uisites will be more exacting in the
towns where all loyal people must con-
tribute to them, as the safety there is
greater. and as in so doing they will
assist the authorities to re-establish or
der and peace by cooperating in
strict compliance with justice for which
line has been traced by me.
These informations and material
proofs will be sent to this office to pro-
ceed accordingly, it being understood
that viii hold strictly responsible any
officer who does not furnish proofs re-
quired in the cases mentioned"
