Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1898-06-28

Spanish government of keeping the
great mass of the public ignorant Of the
actual state Of affairs, has commended
that the only method of bringing the
war home to the people of Spain would
be to send an American squadron there
to harry the coast, cut off shipping and
lombard fortified towns.
The purpose is to bring the Spanish
people to q realizing sense OF the hope
Iessness of continuing the present strug-
gle. Since the departure of the Cadiz
fleet for the Philippines there is an
other object in view in addition to the
first. This Is to destroy or capture this
Cadiz fleet by a bold stroke and then
to take UP the work of harassing the
Spanish at home providing that blow
does not sufiice,to bring about peace.
Can't Coal at Port Said.
The United States consul at Port Said
has reported to the state department
that In obedience to it's injunction he
has obtained orders forbidding a supply
OF coal there for the Spanish squadron.
1t Is true the failure to obtain coal at
Port Said would not In itself prevent
the Spanish vessels from passing
through the canal and continuing on
their way to the Philippines, for they
have with them one or more GOLFERS, but
the coal carried by these golfers would
be absolutely essential to the vessels of
the squadron long before they had
crossed the Arabian sea.
Under the British neutrality laws. the
ships could take coal only once at a
British port under any circumstances.
and all of the coaling stations after
passing the Suez canal being British
possessions the Spanish supply would
be exhausted long before the end of the
voyage was reached. But there Is also
question as to whether Camara's
squadron could take coal even initially
at any British port until they had cross
ed the half way line between Spain and
the Philippines, as the British law de-
clares that they could only take coal
enough to carry them to the nearest
home port, and the Philippines would
not be such a port until the half way
line is crossed.
To add to the embarrassment of ca.
mara, there Is good reason to believe
that the canal management will OBJ
struct his passage on the ground of in
reference with navigation. Thus there
Is every prospect that from one or an
other OF these reasons the Cadiz flee,

Washington, June 2S.-Unless a mis-
calculation has been made by the OFF,
GERS of the war department the army III
Cuba is now re-enforced by the arriVai
at Baiquiri of General Duffields l,o0l
men, who left Fort Monroe on lasr
Wednesday. General Garretson's 1900
men, who departed yesterday, will join
the army on Thursday or Friday.
1t Is possible although not yet fully
determined, that General Miles may ac-
company Garretson's men to the front
At present the energies of the war de-
partment are being devoted almost en-
tirely to preparing for the attack on
Santiago. All other branches of army
work have been made subordinate to
this plan, which at present is regarded
as the all important one of the general
campaign.
In the opinion of Secretary Alger. the
advance guard that drove the Span
iards back on Santiago is now halted in
broad open order across the country
waiting for the rear guard to come up
It will probably be necessary to wait
the arrival Of the lighters which We're
ordered on Saturday to rush to the front
from Key West, but it is not thought to
be necessary to await the arrival of all
of Garretson's troops to begin the march
on Santiago, although this may be done,
If General Shafter finds that he needs
these e-enforcements, he Will wait fot
them; otherwise he will, in his discre-
ton, go forward without them, Score
tary Alger has the fullest confidence III
General Shafter. 1t is understood that
he sent him on Saturday Il cable mes
sage of congratulat ton and confidence,
although there seems to be no official
record Of It,
The war department has received two
dispatches from General Shafter since
Saturday, but they contained nothing
in reference to an engagement with the
enemy or the movement of troops. Soon
after the landing from the transports
was effected the department, on behalf
Of the ordnance, commissary and quar-
termaster offices, called on General
Shafter for various information in re-
gard to the amount Of ammunition, sub
sistence and supplies on hand.
In reply to these requests the COM
handing general sent a general inven-
tory of ammunition and supplies on
hand and memorandum of articles
still needed for the campaign in south
srn Cuba All the bureaus Of the wag
department are we'll equipped now for
nipplytnx the needs Of General Shat
ter's army, and steps are being taken to
leave no want untitled.

Masons of Falls Church, of which Mr.. NJ.
e. Church is worshipful master. The pre-
sentation speech was made by First Lieut.
A. I. Flagg.
Capt Graham is officer Of the day.
There have been but few cases in the hos
pital today that amounted to anything. In
fact, there are but two patients in the he
Pital, and they have been there for several
days. At sick call this morning there were
about thirty men listed. They were soon
attended to. however. and returned to duty.
Three Thousand In Camp.
Three thousand volunteer soldiers of the
United States army We're at Camp Alger
last night. Some of the men slept under
canvas and some of them had the dark blue
sky for covering. This is now a real army
camp, quite different from the camp of the
District of Columbia National Guard at
Fort Washington.
The men have had many experiences In
training camps, but none like this one Now
they work with earnestnesS. All of them
know that promotions are to be made from
the ranks UP. The men understand thor
oughly that Col Harries will be just in all
of his appointments should it be necessary
to fill vacancy, and that all have an equal
chance of proving themselves worthy of
The Dress Parade.
The dress parade of yesterday afternoon
was one of the most successful that has

The residents of the District of Columbia
nave every reason to be proud of their
representation in the camp. 1t is the opin-
ion of those qualified to judge that the Dis
tr1ct volunteers make the best showing of
any of the regiments that have arrived at
Camp Alger, and the District quota is the
best equipped.
The District contingent is impatient for
tomorrow to come. The men are anxious
to leave for Chickamauga.
Other Troops Arrive.
The 18th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volun-
teers, arrived in camp shortly after Z
O'Clock last night. The tentage for the regi-
ment did not arrive in time to be erected,
and these boys slept on the ground. They
have been in camp at Mount Gretna for
several weeks and have gotten hardened.
They did not mind sleeping on the ground.

TO ESTABLISH BUILDING LINES.
Authority Granted the Commissioners
in the Case of Narrow Streets.

The report of the House District commit
tee on House bill 10106. relating to building
lines in the District of Columbia, has been
submitted to the House by Chairman Bah
cock. Quoting a letter from the District
Commissioners, the report says:
During past years, on a number of oc-
casions, citizens of the District have desired
TO establish building lines upon some of the
narrow streets where the lots were deep.
Ii is evident that, without compulsory leg
islation. where one or two residents in a
block refuse to accede to such building
lines the efforts of the remaining property
owners are in vain, since 1t is necessary
that all the buildings in one square should
be on one line. Hence in a number of in
stances efforts made by owners to establish
building lines have proved abortive
through the lack of cooperation of one

erty owners did not establish such line the

mitted is designed TO remedy this condition
Of affairs.
las a general rule where lots are deep 1t
Is believed that the establishment of the
building line would work hardship to
the land owners But there are instances
Of corner lots where the establishment of
building lines on two streets abutting would
take away so much of the land as to render
the remainder of the lot unavailable for
building purposes, and in such cases the
owner OF said lots should receive compen-
sation- 1t is believed the bill is a desirable
one, and that its operation would be at
tended by no cost to the District of Column
bia or to the United States.
The bill provides that the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia are Authorized
TO establish building lines on streets or
parts OF streets less than ninety feet wide
in the District of Columbia upon the pre-
sentation to them of plat of the street or
portion or the street upon which such
action Is desired showing the lots and the
names of the record owners thereof and
accompanied by petition of the owner. of
one-half of the real estate shown on the
plat requesting that building lines be es-
tablished. or when the commissioners shall
certify that public heath, comfort or con-
yenience requires that such building lines
Be established.
The bill provides regulations for awarding
damages caused by the change in lines.

There appears to be a mistaken impress
sion touching the sttitude our government
has assumed in the matter Of the German
merchant steamer Polaria, now at Key
west awaiting permission to cross the
blockade lines into Havana harbor. He,
case Is not exceptional, inasmuch as the
government gave its consent only to the
landing In Havana OF certain passengers
on the steamer who boarded her at Fam
burg, Germany, April last, some time be-
fore the outbreak of war between the
United States and Spain, and long before
the issue of the declaration Of war. The
Presidents proclamation of the blockade
contemplated the exemption from interfer-
ence OF foreign vessels cleared before the
cate or proclama ton. In conformity with
the general principle, the State Department
saw no reason why passengers shipped
under such conditions as those on the Po-
laria at Hamburg should be prevented from
continuing their journey. AS for the Brit
ish correspondent Mr.. knight. who y
