MESSAGE TO GEN. LEE.
Text Of the Dispatch Forwarded b,
Local AssOciatfOn.

Te1t OF the Dispatch Forwarded by
a Local Association.
The following is the text of dispatch.
to which reference was made in yester-
days Star, sent from this city by the Ma
tfonal Relief Association for Cuba in aid
OF the American Red Cross to Consul Gen
eral Lee at Havana:
When deep wrong thrills the public
heart, especially If that wrong be about to
fall upon helplessness, it is with profound
relief that we learn that the cause of in
nocence has been espoused by one who is
SO much a power for good as yourself.
1T would seem to the intelligence of this
day that the barbarities lately reported
from Cuta and the Isle of Pines must only
De some hfdeous dream of the dark ages.
War, in its least appalling aspect is
somewhat OF an anachronism for this year
OF grace; but starvation and nameless hor-
rors inflicted upon women and children
and this latest terror of penal colony of
n, est desperate order, confronting a young
girl, for no crime but that of kinshp with
one under arms would we may readily be-
lieve, swiftly challenge the soul of a man
to take up the gauntlet of barbarism and
hasten to defense.
Our association of relief would gladly
unite with yon in any measure for sue
coring Evangeline Cisneros. If it should
be possible for you to send her to us We
would assume the care of her.
Because you have spoken for one who
Is dumb before her oppressors, because
you have uttered the refrain of compass
sion, because you have proffered the help
of your hand, for this 1 thank you in the
name of the National Relief Association
for Cuba. In aid of the American Red
Cross. EMILY NJ. c. KILVERT,
Secretary

CUTTING ArRRAY.
Joseph Carter Woundaa by William
Edwards i'm OsStreet Alley


Joseph Carter Woundea by William
Edwards i'm OsStreet Alley.
There was a cutting scrape in street
alley last night about II o'clock, which
resulted in the painful wounding of Jos.
Carter. colored, by William Edwards. The
ARRAY took place just about the time the
police platoons were Exchanging, and this,
the officers say, is the reason why the
man who used the knife escaped.
The trouble between the Scombatants was
occasioned by remarks about Edwards and
hts wife
1t appears that Mrs Lula Edwards fig
ago. and the Objectionable remark made
last night was that her husband was glad
to get rid of her. This he denied.
Go en- home, Joe," said Edwards, who
was anxious to change the subject.
But, Will, said Carter, "ain't we still
good friends?'
At the time he asked this question he
rested his hands on the shoulders of Ed
wards and stood there for moment.
I'm cut he remarked almost imme-
diately, and his hand touched blood stain
on the left hide of his clothing, while Ed
wards walked quietly away.
A few minutes later the patrol wagon
arrived in the alley and the wounded man
was taken to the hospital. He had a pain
full wound in his left side. and because of
his condition he was put in one of the
wards to be detained after the doctors had
rendered surgical aid.
The police of the second precinct went in
search of Edwards. Several houses were
searched, but he was not found. He Is well
known to most of the officers in the pre-
cinct and they are satisfied they will be
socn able to apprehend him.

STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
A ColOred Woman Knocked From b.
and O.. Tracks.

The Emergency Hospital ambulance was
summoned in great haste to the Baltimore
and. Ohio depot shortly before 0 o'clock
this morning. Word was sent to the hos
pital by telephone in compliance with a
Geographic message received at the depot,
explaining that a woman had been struck
by train near Ivy City, and directing
that an ambulance be at the depot on the
arrival of the train. The physicians pre-
pared as best they could, in the brief time
at command, between the call and the
arrival of the train, to care for a badly
maneled and perhaps dying person. They
were somewhat surprised, therefore, to see
the patient colored woman about thirty
years of age, alight from the train and
walk to the ambulance unassisted. Be-
yond half a dozen blood stains on her
apron and the rumpled condition of her
attire there was no evidence of serious in
jury.
At the Emergency Hospital the physi-
clans. after an, examination. found frac-
ture of one of the small bones of the wrist
and several abraSions of the skin. The
broken bone received surgical attention.
and, after. resting for hour or more,
the woman, who gave her name as Martha
Pinn servant, and her home as Ivy City,
left the hospital.
To Star reporter and to the physicians
Martha declined to say anything whatso-
ever regarding the incident remarking that
ever, brought to light the fact that the
woman was walking toward Washington
from Ivy City about S:45 o'clock. She chose
as her path the ends of the ties, just beside
the outer rail of the track. For some I'M
explained reason the woman did not hear
the whistle or the rumble of the train due
at the depot here at 500 o'clock from Bal
timore. Before the engineer could stop the
train, the railroad officials say the woman
was struck and knocked some distance,
landing in ditch.
1t was believed the injury was occasioned
when she struck the ground. The speed of
the train at the time of the accident was
about thirty-five miles an hour, and it is
matter of wonder that more serious in
juries or even death did not result. Had
the woman been directly on the track in
front of the engine, instead Of to one side
the victim would undoubtedly have been
killed.
The engineer brought the train to a full
stop as quickly as possible, and the wo-
man was placed on board and brought to
this city, message being sent in by tele-
graph. as stated, to have an ambulance at
the depot.

Clerk Downs at Ocean Grove.
Mr.. N. Carroll Downs, clerk Of Circuit

of several weeks at Ocean Grove. N. j.
Last week there was a great bicycle pa
Tade at Asbury Park, In which more than
700 riders participated.
Mr.. Downs is an enthusiastic wheelman,
and he organized a club composed of fif-
teen young women and men, who were
stopping at the Albatross cottage. They
appeared as the Albatross Club, and Mr.
Downs was elected captain. The members,
of both sexes. were arrayed in white suits.
and white carleton albatross caps were
perched on their heads. Their wheels were
also trimmed in white. The club made such
an excellent appearance that it was award
60 first prize, each member being presented
with set of bicycle supplies.
Captain Downs was preceded by Bugler
Edwin Rittenhouse. the other members be-
ing Misses Florence Griggs. Cook, Hyatt.

LEASED NEW QUARTERS.
General Agent Brown of Southern
Railway Chan Sx.s Base.

General Agent Brown of Southern
Railway Changes Base.
The Southern Railway Company has leas-
ed a suite of offices in the building No 105
18th street northwest fer a local ticket Of
fee and as headquarters for Mr.. l.. S.
Brown, general agent of the passenger de-
pertinent. The new quarters will be occu-
pied as soon as they can be prepared for
the purpose. For sonee time past Mr..
Browns office and one of the local ticket
offices have been located in the company's
building at the corner of Pennsylvania ave-
hue and 18th street northwest, but the
quarters of each have been SO cramped be-
cause of the increasing business of the COM
pany that a new location for these branch
es of the passenger department became a
matter of necessity.
Large as is the company's general office
building in this city, 1t is said to be far
from adequate to accommodate the various
branches of the work located lin Washing
ton, and some time ago 1t became neces-
sary to lease several floors in the central
power station for offices for departments
for which there was no longer room in the
main building.

Mr.. Kane to Witness Test of Air
Motors.

Motors.
Mr.. T. P. Kane of the North Capitol and
lexington Citizens Association has gone to
New York to inspect the air motors in OPP
Grafton there. Some time ago Mr.. Kane
was invited by Mr. E. A. Willard, president
of the American Air Power Company, to
come to New York and witness trial Of
the motors. He declined doing so. however.
for the reason, he states, that as the law
required a test of the motors to be made
here and not in New York, to determine
whether they were in all respects a proper
and satisfactory motive power for this city,
he could not see what was to be accom-
plished by witnessing trial of them there.
A representative of the District govern
ment, however, having gone to New York
to inspect their operation in that city, Mr..
Kane stated that it would now seem as If
their trial in New York was to cut some
figure in determining whether or not their
use was to be permitted here. and Mr.. Will
lard having renewed his invitation, he has
gone over there to witness their operation
and inspect the plant.
