STAINS SUGGESTION.

Washington, March 29.- Senators and others who have talked with the president last evening and today say the proposition for an armistice came from Spain and while it is being con sidered by the president in connection with other negotiations, he had in sisted that any proposed armistice must be with other conditions which Spain has not shown disposition to accept.

uon Defends Capital Railway
The Congress Heights Citizens Associa-
ticn recently addressed a communication
to the Commissioners. in which exception
Is taken TO a paper fiied several DAYS ago
with the authorities in criticism OF the
Brown electric system and of the CAPITAL
Railway Compan.. which is now seeking TO
permanently install that system
The citizens association says in part:
You are thoroughly familiar with tlr
iong-drawn-out fight between the Anacos
tla railroad and the Capital railway. Their
territory Is practically the same. The Ana
ccsua railroad has done nothing but fight
lts rival. Petition after petition has been
gotten up to prejudice you against the
capital railway. This last effort reduces
ltself to absurdity. 1t even goes so far as
TO try TO blame the Brown underground
system, Installed within the city limits
with the recen accident a mile away
across the river and on the standard over
head construction.
ne petition is incorrect and misleading.
In the first place. the company has made
no repairs since the new boxes were in
stalled, no live boxes have occurred, and a
more perfect working electric underground
system cannot be found. During the re-
cent heavy rains the cars operated by this
system plowed through a foot OF water
IKE boat without once losing it's current
Whlle other underground roads were tied
up. We indorse the Brown system as a
safe, prac ticable and valuable ACQUISITION
to the electrical world"
The communication is signed by b. II.

at MOhtauk Point.
The following extract is from a letter
written by c. o. Saers of the District regi-
ment to. his friends here. The letter was
dated at Montauk Point. August 2s:
we Were In quarantine for two days
after we reached the harbor-and were NOT
allowed tc go ashore until yesterday the
9th, and when we did get ashore-Oh.
what difference. Just the opposite of
what We met when we landed in Cuba. In
stead Of giving all we had to suffering
people. our friends were giving what seems
to be all they had to us.
Coming up on the Hudson we nearly
starved to death. l gave away some of
my finest souvenirs to get stuff to eat.
Some fellows paid as high as 81 for a loaf
of bread. What our government bill-of-
fare consisted OF was corned beef. stale
hard tack, beans and coffee. Fine food
for lot OF sick and convalescent men.
we left Santiago August 20. and never
left place with so much joy in my heart
On our way out We passed the wreck of
the Merrimac, and next in line came the
wreck of the Spanish cruiser, the Reina
Mercedes; next to the wreck of the Mercedes
came old Moro Castle. 1t reminds me of
old Fort Washington more than anything
else / know Of Up the shore about five
miles to our right 1 could see other Span-
ish wrecks, but could not make out the
names. As We turned to our left we sailed
toward the shores of Gods country.
THE second day out our company went
on guard, and 1 then got the chance to
make arrangements with the cook at the
kitchen for something to eat. You see 1
was on guard over the kitchen door. Well,
l gave up handsome gold ring had OBJ
tanned from a Spanish prisoner at one time.
and at another time I gave that great and
powerful cook valuable silk handker-
chief the finest I have even seem for
few mouthsfui of food But I enjoyed
that food So you can see Jared some bet
ter than others. but you will not get my
souvenirs.
when we anchored of Long Island
some of the boys cheered, but only a few,
Those that didn't cheer felt very glad, but
they were too weak to cheer. We are Iiv-
ing like something now. and I am feeling
fine"

flying that he was entitled to the $500.
Cross admits that he did not receive the
