KAEsTNER's MARROW ESCAPE.

Charles Kaestner, the hotelnan Of

from serious injury yesterday morning

ton of a new building, as told in The
Tribune Monday. Now, from a door,
that heretofore led into the dining room
is the open cellar II feet deep with a
lot of stone in il to be used in building
the foundation.
Mr.. Kaestner. not remembering that
the room was no longer there, hastily

several minutes, and after reviving
shouted for assistance. He was con-
veyed to his residence and DR.. Kolb

found that Mr.. Kaestner's injuries con-
sisted of a few slight cuts on the

CANAL BILL MAY COME UP.
MORGAN WANTS ACTION ON 1T AT
TO-DAY'S SESSION.

Opponents of the Nicarag guam Scheme
Will Try to Defer 1t Until After the
Christmas Holiday Ss-Anti-ScaIping
Bill May Meet With Opposition.
Bill For the Registry of Foreign
Built ships the Special Order for
Tuesday.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE course Of pro-
ceedings in the Senate this week viii de-
pend upon the disposition that is made of
the Nicaragua canal bill.
1t is Senator Morgan's intention to call
up this measure Monday, and he has ex-
pressed The hope that he viii secure action
at the Monday session. Few of his most
sanguine eo-workers agree with him in
this opinion. and the best indication is
that unless an agreement can be reached
for postponement, several days at least
will be consumed in its consideration.
The opponents of the measure will meet
its supporters with a proposition to de-
fer consideration until after the Christmas
holidays, and they will give as their rea-
son for this request the fact that the re-
port of the government commission ap-
pointed to investigate the feasibility of the
canal, has not yet been made urging the
importance of receiving the information
which the commission will be able to fur
nish before acting upon so important
question. If the bill is taken up In earn
est, it will consume the greatest portion
of the Senate's time until finally dspos-
ed Of.
Another subject on the calendar is the
antl-scalping bill, which Senator Cullom
has informed the Senate he will seek to
get up at an early day, but he Will meet
with opposition If he makes the effort and
is not likely to succeed this early in the
session.
The special order for Monday at O'Clock
is the bin providing for the registry of
foreign built ships, but if the Nicaraguan
bin should be taken up, the registry bill
would not be allowed to consume much
time.
Senator Morrill, has given notice Of a
motion Tuesday to consider the bill pro-
vidng for the purchase of a site for the
United States Supreme Court, but the pro-
ceedings with reference 90 this measure
will be confined to speech by the Yer
mont senator.
The urgent army deficiency bill will re-
ceiye attention early in the week. The
committee on appropriations will meet
Monday and it is not believed that more
than one meeting on the bill will be neces-
saFy. Senator Allison, chairman of the
committee, hopes. therefore, to get the
bill before the Senate for consideration
Tuesday.
It has been prophesied that the army bill
would be used as a pretext for discussion
of the Spanish war, and the fear of such
a course has not entirely subsded

WOOD APPROVES HOODS WORK.
Much Interest in Appointment of n
Mayor of Mnynri.

Santiago. Cuba, Dec. u.-Gen. Leonard
Wood, military governor Of the department
of Santiago, has returned from his tour of
Inspection along the north coast. very well
satisfied with the results Of his trip. He
considers that Col. Hood of the Second
Immune Regiment. who is in command
Of Holguin, has done excellent work in the
district.
Il appears that when the Spaniards left,
they flled the cisterns with manure, rem
dering IL extremely difficult to get water.
They killed all the animals they could.
leaving the dead bodies in the streets, and
burned all the furniture they were unable
10 remove. In fact, they devastated the
town.
Gen. Wood approves too. al the appoint
ments made by Col. Hood VINO apparently
has followed Gen. Woods suggestions as
to methods Of selection He found small.
poX still very prevalent, but under con-
troll and gradually being reduced by DIR.
Woodson and his assistants. The health
of the troops Is excellent there not be-
ing one case of serious sickness.
Gen. Wood also found Jibara in good
condition with the smallpox on the de-
cline. All the lighthouses along the north
coast OF the province are now in use, ow-
ing 10 the wreck or spanish brig loaded
with cocoanut oil, which proved opportune
in this case.
No little interest attaches to the ap-
pointmcnt of a Mayor at Mayari. Gen
Wood found three candidates, about equal
ly supported and all with civil lists esti-
mating an average annual expenditure Of
about $,00O000. Wnen he had discovered
that the revenue was something under
100000 Gen. Wood asked If there were
not some reputable citizen with patriot
ism enough so give his services for moth
ing. merchant promptly responded
and the appointment is acceptable to
everybody, except the three candidates
The minor offices were filed at a consider
able reduction in salaries bringing down
the expenses Of Mayari, which Is up the

Spanish gunboat. 95 feet long. and Of 20
tons register, nearly new. Lieut. Iucien
Young Inspected the vessel and found that
1t could be raised at an expense OF $4,000.
Gen. Wood, therefore, will have the gun
boat raised Immediately, as small vessels
of that size are badly needed.
So far as the Second Immune Regiment
is concerned, Gen Wood thinks the men
equal to any volunteers he has vet seen.
