opportunity presenting itself to get hold OF
a large amount of government funds he
availed himself of IL. and in consequence
was dishonorably dismissed from the serv-
ice. The War Department records verify
this.
About the close of the war Crawford got
together a band of choice spirits Of his ilk
and started on a filibustering expedition
to Mexico. 1t was reported that they
crossed the Texas border and sacked a
town on the Mexican side. securing several
hundred thousand in Mexican securities
and returning to the United States, where
they disbanded, Crawford taking away the
lions share of the spoils, which he after
ward realized on.
He is next heard of as the owner of the
Biddle estate near Philadelphia He owned
a yacht, a number of fine horses and lived
in a style that would have done credit to
any oriental prince. Just why or how he
came to go to Turkey is not known, but
there are quite a number of the one-time
residents of Rogersvile who are firmly con-
WINGED that Robert Crawford is one and the
same with the man called Osman Pasha,
who now commands the victorious armies
of his imperial highness, the Sultan OF
Turkey.

THEY FILE OBJECTIONS.
Property Owners Protest Against an
Order Affecting Manure Boxes.

Property Owners Protest Against an
Order Affecting Manure Boxes.
All manure boxes now occupying the pub
lie spaces in alleys must be taken away.
The order has gone forth and the police
have since been kept busy serving notices
upon the owners.
When the District offices opened yesterday
morning a number of those who own ma
nure boxes were on hand to object to the
rev regulation, or failing to have their
protest considered, to ask for instruction
and time to make the change Misun1er-
standing the order. the police spread the
news and incidentally gave instructions
that threw the owners into all kinds of
fits.
Some of the officers stated that the boxes
must be erected in the yards OF the houses,
others that pits must be dug. The result
was that when the objectors reached the
District building there was a long, loud
protest.
1t was soon Quieted, however. The Com
missioners explained that the manure box
could be kept in tine yard OF the stable,
but that it was a violation of the law to
keep 1t in the alley. They stated, how
ever, that pit could be dug i'll the alley,
which, if properly constructed, would have
the approval of the Commissioners, and
give all the space necessary.
They called attention to the necessity,
however, of having a pit of the proper
character, stipLlating that ii must be OF
suitable construction, water-tight and COW
cred with an iron door, and having f1ue
escaping through the stable to carry off
the fumes.

GOMEZ APPROACHES HAVANA.
Reported Battle Near Guines, Thirt
Miles From the City.

Reported Battle Near Guines, Thirty
Miles From the City.
Gen. Gomez, the insurgent leader, is re-
ported to be in Havana province. and that
a big battle was fought Sunday near
Guines. thirty miles from Havana, in
which the Spaniards were routed with
heavy losses.
Eighty wounded Spanish soldiers were
brought to Havana by the railroad. 1t is
believed that they fought in battle
against Gomez
Great excitement was created by the
news that Gen. Gomez was at Bernsja, in
Matanzas province, less than fifteen miles
from the border of the province of Hava Ia
The Havana authorities denied the fact in
a semi official way, and asserted that the
Cuban chief at Bermeja was Gen. Quintin
Banderas with his. forces of infantry from
Orient But Quintin RanderaS happens to
be in Pinar del Rio province, and another
report was received confirming the LewS of
Gen. Gomez presence near Havana.
The guerrilla force of Bermeja, captured
by Gen. Gomez, consisted of forty-two men,
OF whom thirty-two were Cuoans ind ten
Englishmen. Gen. Gomez freed The ten and
ordered the thirty-two Cubans to be hang
ed on tine spot traitors to their cot ntry
The order was Immediately executed
This military movement of Gen. Gomez,
following closely upon the great military
march of Gen. Banderas from Santiago de
Cuba to Pinar del Rio, is perhaps the decis-
i've blow Of the campaign against Gen.
Weyler.
A raid was made on Casqua, in Havana
province, Friday, and the jail was broken
open. Fifteen prisoners, who had been kept
there a long while, were liberated, seven
women and eight men,. Among the men
were two insurgent officers VINO had been
sentenced to be shot Saturday.
At the Jail the insurgents found little
boy, aged seven years who had been i'm
prisoned over six months in the vile place
simply because he had worn Cuban flag
on his shirt waist one day. The boy was
emaciated and could hardly stand.

when our country is in this destitute condi-
ton at home as to docks, is it good policy
to go abroad to construct them? If we have
money enough to build docks, let us build
them at home.
1.-The harbor at Honolulu is amply suffi-
cfent for all of our war vessels and all of
our merchant marine If We owned the Ha-
waiian Islands, If we should annex them,
we should never utilize Pearl Harbor, be-
cause the harbor of Honolulu is ample and
sufficient And If we do not annex the is
lands, do we want a valuable property 2, 100
miles out in the Pacific, which, in case Of
war, we should have to defend with all of
the power of the navy of the United States
or abandon it?"
Mr. Cannon of Illinois also opposed the
amendment using an argument in line with
Mr.. Hilborn's remarks
After some further debate for and against
it the amendment was non-concurred in,
and sent to conference.

D'AUMALE'S SECRET MARRIAGE.
Belief I'm Paris That COmtesse CIfn.
champ Was His Wife.

There appears to be 10 doubt that Due
d d'Aumale. who recently died from shock on
hearing of the death of Duchess D'Alencon,
had contracted a secret marriage with the
Comtesse Berthe de Clinchamp. The mar
riage was celebrated in the private chapel
of an Austrian cardinal in Rome.
Several reasons caused the duke to keep
the matter secret, the chief of which was
because 1t was impossible to place the coun-
tess in position in which she could be re-
ceived in the same circle with the Orleans
family.
The Comtesse de Clinchamp is an elderly,
refined woman, to whom the duke, her hus-
band, bequeathed a princely annuity, with
life residence in the beautiful Chateau de
la Novette, close to Chantilly.

Sugar Kings Wealth Not So Great as
Commonly Believed.

Before his death Theodore A. Havemeycr
was generally reputed to be one of the very
few rich men of the country whose invest
ments and personality could be realized
upon without sacrifice
1t was estimated that. owing to his close
connection with the sugar trust, his estate
was worth no less than $4,000, 600 1t is
now believed that its entire value will not
reach $4,O00,0O0.
John E. Parsons, his legal adviser, made
this statement in relation to the estate:
Il desire it to be understood that / have
made TO statement to the amount of the
estate left by Mr.. Havemeyer, except to gay
that there is no reason to believe that the
estate is any less than might have been ex-
pected."

THE HOUSE DISSENTS
Refuses to Concur With Senate on
Pearl Harbor.
STRONG ARGUMENT BY Mr.. HIr]
Importance of a Naval Station II
the Pacific.
EFFORTS OF GLAND

The House of Representatives late yes
terday afternoon by vote Of S5 nays to
50 yeas refused to concur in the Senate
amendment to the sundry civil bill appro-
rriating $1,000 to improve the entrance to
Pearl Harbor. Hawaiian Islands, and the
item was sent into conference committee.
Mr.. Hit of Illinois, long time chairman
of the committee ON foreign affairs, and
VINO will probably fill that position eeain
when committees are appointed. advocated
concurrence in the amendment. Mr.. Eitt
said:
Importance of the Amendment.
Il was hoping that the gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. Cannon) would move to con-
cur in this amendment to improve the en-
trance of Pearl Harbor. AS he has not
done SO, will make that motion. 1 will
briefly point out the importance OF this
amendment. 1t is e. judiciouS, a very prop
er, urgent expenditure. 1t has been
recommended for many years over and
over again by our chief naval officers, by
several secretaries, both of the Navy and
State Departments, and just now the mat
ter is particularly urgent i'll view of the
enl&r cement of our navy and our present
relations with the Hawaiian government.
THE treaty of 1875 with Hawaii-called
the reciprocity treaty, in consideration of
the advantages of reciprocity we granted
therein-contained a provision that the gov
crnment of Hawaii should never grant any
privilege exclusive right In port or
harbor or in any part of her territory to
any other nation than tEe United States.
That treaty was terminable ;iI lie demand
of either party On twelve months notice
after seven years. 1t proved greatly ad-
vantageous to Hawaii. Its policy was
doubted by many in this country. and
when the question of renewal arose in
1884 supplemental convention OF two
articles was made. one continuing that ad-
vantageous reciprocity provision for seven
years and then terminaDle on twelve
months notice. and the second containing
a grant of Pearl Harbor to the United
States.
1.-The Senate has now before it in pend
ing tariff bill a clause which will pracu-
cally abrogate the reciprocity treaty or
1870. There is contention on the 3art OF
friends of the Hawaiian government
that contention would be supported with
Great Britain and JaDan-that the grant
of Pearl Harbor in the supplemental con-
vention would fall with the original treaty,
and thus we would lose Pearl Harbor. That
is the contention of many gentlemen-some
OF them our own citiZens-and, of course,
it will be the contention OF the Hawaiian
government But / do not admit 1t. :.
If that is the contention" suggested
Mr. Sayers, ''of the Hawaiian government
and some of our own citizens, why, then,
at this time, go to the expense Of imDrov-
ing a harbor which may not belong to US.
should this contemplated legislation of the
Senate be enacted into law?"
THAT is the point to which l am COM
ing" replied Mr.. Hit. II believe the grant
IN the supplemental convention is COM
piete-is for a consideration that has been
paid.
