George Hodges, of Company E, First
District Volunteers, returned last even
ing from Brooklyn, where he has been
ill with malarial fever contracted during
the Santiago campaign. He was in one
of the Brooklyn hospitals and speaks
very highly of his treatment
A good deal of surprise has been occa-
stoned among the citizens of Takoma by
the publication in one of the Washington
papers of an article concerning local poll
tics. The statement was made that a
considerable agitation has been raised
since the return Of Lieut.. Frank Skin
ner from Santiago, which had in view his
election as mayor of Takoma Park. This
is untrue for neither Lieut. Skinner nor
anyone else has given the matter a
thought, as the next election does not
take place until the spring of 1900
Although Lieut.. Skinner is very popu-
lar in Takoma, there are reasons why he
does not care for the Office and he to-
gether with the citizens of the Park can
not see why the article was written and
thinks it unwarranted.

and Mount Vernon. Arlington was the home Of
PaTke Gusts and Gen. r. Z. Lee before it was
converted into a national cemetery. 1t is one of
the most beautiful places for miles about the
city, with its well-kept grounds, fine old shade
trees, and its commanding location on the high
Virginia bluffs overlooking the city. Alexandria
is rich in historical interest Within its limits
Is Christ Church, where Washington and the
Lees worshiped; the lodgeroom Of the Masons, of
which Washington was a member; the BRAD
DOCK famous colonial hostelry; the Marshall
House, where Col Ellsworth was killed; and
many other notable spots and places. Mount
Vernon, the home and tomb OF Washington is in
general, just when inhabited by the Father of
His Country, and is yearly visited by thousands

GENERAL SKATERS REPORT.
VIII Be Made Public After Being
Revised and Edited.

Major Gen. Skaters report is now in
the hands of the President, who is max
ing a minute and careful study of it.
The report was finished late yesterday,
and during the evening was presented to
Adjt. Gen. Corbin. The report consists
of thirty typewriter pages. and pre-
sents a concise history of the battle of
Santiago. 1t embodies in it the reports
of division and brigade commanders, be-
side containing the personal views of
Gen. Shafter.
Adjt. Gen. Corbin said today that the
President will probably make the docu-
ment public, but it is the opinion of Off
Gals that before this is done the report
will be carefully edited, and some re-
marks of the general, which reflect on
some volunteer officers and regiments,
will be eliminated therefrom. No one be-
lieves that the full text of the report
will be given TO the press.

the Tribune from Washington says:
The first OF the thirty-knot torpedo
boats built IN the United States, and the
only one Of that speed which has as yet
undergone official trial, has finally failed
to reach the requirements after three
attempts, the first two Of them resulting
in serious damage to the vessel.
A telegram received from Lieutenant
Commander Franklin J. Drake, by Sec
retary Long shows that the Farragut on
her trial trip near San Francisco on
November 10, ran 1913 knots in an hour,
He says that this remarkably high speed
was achieved with no excessive
vibration Of the hull or undue
friction Of the engines. The ves-
sci ran straight away for half an
hour ait the rate of 1884 knots, followed
by turn, accomplished within fifteen
minutes. and another dash of half ar
hour, this time at the rate Of SO,19 knots,
the average for the whole course being
1913 knots.
