Miss Barton, accompanied by three other
members of the party, visited the civil
governor. Fernandez de Castro, and had a
long conversation with him regarding the
condition OF the poorer classes and the
means employed for their relief. In reply
to a remark of Miss Barton's, the governor
said that outside relief for Havana's poor
was not needed, as what was supplied by
the colonial government and the people
was sufficient for their necessities. "As to
the interior towns" said the governor,
that is another matter. The suffering
classes have increased in number in c0nse-
quence of the war, and there is a scarcity
OF provisions among them. to which you
can attend, since you are animated by a
high spirit Of charity"
Miss Barton replied, expressing her ap-
probation of the governors remarks,
showing that he realized the Importance
of the Red Cross Society's humanitarian
services.
Yesterday the free kitchens in Havana
distributed over $1,000 rations. Last night

object the raising of funds for the relief of
the poor. The civil governor was one of

of locomotion caused by the use of the BIZ
cycle. I have often wished to make some
reply to those who ssritefso unreasonably
regarding the rights. Veto, I,oof bicycIers, but
have refrained. But fhe comments of some
of these alleged bicyclers are enough to
make ones blood run cold in his veins.
Here for instance, a few days ago, "R.
D. H. writes a vsrX sensible article. ad-
vising that children be not allowed to play
in the streets. it being dangerous to them
selves. as well as TO people on bicycles.

contrary. Many of Hur gtreets are dimly

The funeral Of John H. Haller, Company
X, list New York Volunteers, who died Of
typhoid fever at Camp Wikoff ON Wednes-
day. will be from the residence Of his sister,
No. $40 West Both street. this afternoon.
Haller was stricken with fever at Santi-
ago. He recovered apparently and left
there on the transport Grand Duchess, ar
riving at Camp Wikoff week ago. He
suffered a relapse while on board the
steamer, and when camp was reached was
conveyed to the hospital. His sister, Miss
G. Haller, received word Of his arrival, and,
with her aunt, went to Camp Wikoff last
Tuesday morning. She found her brother
unconscious and passed the day by his bed
side. He did not recognize her.
Miss Haller returned to the city in the
evening and on Wednesday telegraphed to
the camp three times before she received a
reply. Then she was notified that her
brother had died that morning. She ar
ranged at once for an undertaken to bring
the body to this city.
Haller was bookkeeper. He enlisted n
month before war was declared, but his sis
ters knew nothing of 1t until the night be-
fore the departure Of the troops, when he
told them that he thought his country
needed him and that he had enlisted. He
said he would be back soon and asked them
not to worry. He was the sole support of
his two sisters, one of whom said to me
yesterday:
sit is not disease that killed him, nor is
1t disease that is killing all the poor fellows
in the United States hospitals. 1t is starva-
ton. My brother was simply hungry while
in Cuba and became so weak as to be un-
able to Withstand the ravages Of the dis

cept-A Police Case-GeneraI
and Personal News

The members of the Anacostia Baptist
Church have decided to extend a call to
the Rev. Emerson W. Bliss of Washington
to become their pastor. Such action has
not been unexpected. The pulpit made va
cant by the resignation Of Rev. Hugh T.
Stevenson has been for most Of the time
stree supplied by Rev. Mr.. Bliss in a man
ner most acceptable to the congregation.
The decision to formally call him was
reached at a meeting of the congregation
held at the church during the past week.
The board Of deacons. of which Mr.. Chas
r. Burr Is chairman, is acting as the pull
pit committee, and will transmit the call
1t is said there is no doubt Of the minis
ter's acceptance.
Mr.. Bliss has been of late serving as
assistant to Rev. S. H. Greene, pastor
of Calvary Baptist Church, Washington
Policeman o. c. Ryon of the Anacostia
station mas concluded bit of successful
detective work upon local robbery case.
Frank Brooke, a white man living at 2vI
Fillmore street, reported at the Anacostia
police station the 18th instant, that during
the absence of himself and family from
their home on the preceding evening some
one had entered the house by rear win
dow, and, going upstairs, had stolen an
open face silver watch, valued at $40. Po-
liceman Ryon found the watch in the pos
Yard, who said he had given a brass watch
and 81 for it. From this person the officer
traced the theft to the real culprft, a
youngster residing near here. He was ar
rested and the serious charge Of house
breaking was entered against him.
The accused explained the whole AFFAIR as
a Joke however played by him upon Mr..
Brooke to whom he is said to be related
in some manner, so that the owner of Tho
watch refused to prosecute him, and the
case was nolle pressed. The watch was re-
covered.
Mr. George w. Fowler, the well-known
cattle dealer, has had another adventure
with a brute just as savage as the one
previously referred to in The Star. Mr..
Fowler and his two helpers. white man
and colored man, had placed three ropes
on the brute and had driven him short
distance, when at a point near Surratts-
vile the animal began to show fight. ana
after a few preliminary rushes charged
upon Mr. Fowle. and knocked him down
He was not struck fairly by the steers
horns, but was bruised painfully by the
weight of the beast. which partly stumbled
upon MIN, and he had one shirt sleeve rip
ped nearly off by one of the animals horns.
The steer finally went inside a pasture
field, where he was left. Next day Mr.
Fowler went down and dropped him with
three shots from his Winchester.
Mr.. William Jordan, the real estate man,
who has been quite i'll. was reported this
morning as being much improved.

ANDERSEN NOT HANGED.
Granted Another Lease Of Life by
Judge WaddiII at Norfolk.

John Andersen, who was to have been
hanged in the Norfolk jail yard yesterday
for the murder of Mate Saunders of the
schooner Oliver Pecker, on the high seas
in 1897, has been granted another lease of
life by Judge Waddil of the United States
district court.
P. J. Morris and Hugh G. Miller, young
attorneys of Norfolk, Thursday, without
the knowledge of Andersen, applied for a
writ of habeas corpus with the object of
staying the execution. Morris was origin
ally Andersen's attorney, but Judge
hughes, the district judge, refused to ap-
point him because he represented some of
the men accused with Andersen. The
Hughes in not allowing Andersen to select
his own counsel erred. Judge Waddill de-
MED the application, but granted an appeal
to the supreme court to be heard October
T.
Andersen was in his cell with his spirit
ual advisers, Rev. J. B. Merritt and J. E.
Shenk, ready to march to the gallows, the
most composed man in the jail. Some one
shouted from the window that the judge
had granted stay to October T. Ander-
sen broke down and expressed regret that
the end would be delayed, as he was ready
and anxious to be with God. Life was
precious, he said, but the action of the
court did not guarantee that to him. He
was taken to court in a carriage, and when
the preliminaries had been gone through
