The work on the battery was commenced
a week ago yesterday.
The location is a most prominent one,
commanding an open range at any res-
sci entering the mouth of the Kennebec
River. IL is above 500 yards from the
middle of the channel of the river. The
breastwork will be- 15e feet long. and for
the protection OF the guns and the men
there will be an embankment of sand
built about fifty feet thick and seven feet
high.
The whole foundation for the battery
is solid ledge. In the fort at the present
time. are eleven S-inch Rodman and one
hundred pound Parrott rifles, which can

The consul general at Berlin reports that

assist the Red Cross Society In caring for
the sick and wounded in the war between
the United States and Spain has been is
sued by the Red Cross Society Of Germany

raging diseases. so that through the inter-
vention of the international committee of
the Red Cross Society at Geneva q petit
ton for assistance has also been made
here.
The undersigned central committee
deems it as its duty, in view of the soli-

society Of the Red Cross in their endeayors
to alleviate the sufferings of the war
through the contribution Of financial assist
ance.
I'm order, however, not too greatly to re-
duce our societys funds, which are for
our own and local purposes much required.
we call upon those circles in Germany who
are prepared to make contributions for tho
care of the wounded and the sick In the
present war, with the request to intrlst us
with the same, and thus place us in the
position to fulfill tbs feelings Of humaniay.'.

A SOLDIERS MISTAKE.
Takes Several Drinks and Imaefne-
Vain Things.

Patrick G. cary, a private of Company B,
6oth New Iork Volunteers was permitted
to come to the city yesterday. 1t was his
first visit to the national capital since his
arrival at Camp Alger, nearly four months
ago, and when he had taken several drinks
he evidently conceived an idea that he was
in a Spanish town. Policemen Boyce and
Schuyler endsavored to reason with the SOL
der, but he TUNED a deaf ear to them.
They started him away from the disrepu-
table locality, but to no purpose, and he be.
came profane and abusive.

ern part, and public hearing was today
held in the board room of the Commission
srs to consider any suggestions or protests
from interested persons concerning the To-
cation of any highway OF portion of high
way as shown in this plan.
some OF the changes made over the for
mer plan, as will be observed from the
map here shown, are as follows: The drop
ping out OF 10Th street north Of Blagden' S
subdivision because of the extremely
broken country over which 1t runs. which
would have necessitated great cuts and
hlls, and which would have affected grades
on the east and west streets; also. the ex-
tension of 14th street in direct line from
its terminus at Mount Pleasant. In the
previous plan this street was broken at
Finey branch and placed in line With 18th
street of the city The avenue following
partly up Foundry branch has been broken
so as to include all the valley from 18th
street to 1th street road.
The section near the District line fas
been treated in a more liberal manner, al
lowing for curved streets and greater
lengths in blocks. The avenue located ap-
proximately parallel to the District line,
passing just south of Takoma and which
was laid out to width of 160 feet, has been
changed slightly in position and reduced to
width of 120 feet. Two avenues leading
in a southwesterly direction from the Tth
street road have been established on the
most natural grades, that is, Iaid down on
the ridges or in the valleys. An entrance
to the Rock Creek Park has been provided
SOutu OF BlaSQen 8 MllI ROAD.
The Original Record.
No streets have been allowed to be pro-
jected within subdivisions and the sub
divisions south of Spring road remain the
same as originally recorded.
The only plan provided south of the
Spring road, through the few agricultural
tracts, is to extend and connect existing
streets as follows:
Lydecker avenue and Lamar place are
extended to 14th street; 17th and 18th
streets are extended south to Quarry road:
Vernon avenue or U street is extended to
Columbia road; and 22d streets and De-
catur place are extended through the Kali
property between Massachusetts, and Com
necticut avenues north of Florida avenue
and Elm, Oak, Wilson and 9th streets are
extended through the National Baseball
Park. An entrance to the Geological Park
has been provided by the widening of
Adams Mill road.
Property Owners Present.
Quite a number OF property owners were
present at the hearing today, and after
they had been given an opportunity to ex-
anime the new map of section one Com
missioner Wight explained that they were
at liberty to make such suggestions or pro-
tssts - they might deem proper. Mr.. C.

that all they now desired was to receive
such protests or suggestions as interested
persons might care to make Mr.. Lancas-
ter then stated that in his opinion and in
that of the other owners of the tract there
exists no reason for the extensions through
it other than those he had mentioned. To
carry into effect the new plan would, he
declared. amount virtually to conflscation

the Emery tract in Brightwood which, he
charged, has not been molested by the new
plan, and he saw no reason for making any
distinction between them.
Approve the Plan.
Messrs. B. w. Coleman, J. B. Seman and
R. NJ johnson approved the new plan, the
latter stating that 1t appeared to him that

A SPANISH WOMAN'S TERRIBLE
EXPERIENCE!
The Difference Between Spain's s
Brutality to Women and
AngIo-Saxon Humanity.

Among all the incidents of the
Spanish-American war, one OF those
which best illustrates the Spanish
character is the story of a wealthy wo-
man refugee driven from Santiago
by the fear of bombardment, return
ing again to find her home and prop
erty pillaged and destroyed by sol
diers OF her own race and blood.
Imagine, if you can, such an oc-
currence in an American or an Eng

fish army! Imagine any one of the
hundred inhumanities and atrocities
toward women which characterize
the Spanish race beng duplicated
under the rule of all Anglo-Saxon
nation! Impossible!
No wonder so many frightened
refugees look upon the American
army as their deliverance from the
hands OF brutal and inhuman mob
The way nation treats its women
Is the mark OF its standing among the
world OF nations, and shows in an in
slant its state OF civilization or OF saw
agery.
THE AMERICAN SENTIMENT.
Americans exalt their women as
the better part of the nation, and rem
der them such true, devoted homage
as womankind receives in no other
country in the world.
!. 1t is not mere lip-service nor the
. shallow gallantry which parades itself
: in fine phrases and extravagant COM
pliments. 1t is the simple and sincere
difference of genuine manhood to-
ward the sex which includes their
mothers, sisters, sweethearts and
wives.
How fully do American women
appreciate and reciprocate this obvi-
Gus sentiment of American man
hood? 1t is a question worth looking
into. Do the women OF our country
fully realize the opportunities for
happiness and power which lie within
their grasp? If they should lose a
large proportion of the queenly her
itage So freely accorded and which
rightfully belongs to them, where lies
the blame, and wherein is the re-
dress?
HOW IT Is SOMETIMES THWARTED.
Many woman-many thousand
women-throughout this land where
womankind is loved and reverenced
lead lives OF constant misery and sor-
row. Many a woman feels that her
daily lot is wretched and unhappy
beyond description. She is weighted
down by crushing burden OF phys
ical weakness that her husband cam
not understand, and for which he
does not know how to make allow
ance, simply because he is a man.
He forgets-if, indeed, he ever
realiZes-that a Woman's entire ex-
istcnce, mental as well as physical, is
bound up in and identified with the
delicate and important special organ
ism Of WomanhOOd. When a woman
is peevish, fretful, nervous, full OF
aches, pains and constant miseries,
he will seldom attribute them to their
actual cause.
WHERE THE BLAME LIES.
He will blame a woman's temper
for what is rightfully due to a condi-
ton OF disease and weakness. He
will forget his loyalty and patience;
grow careless of her feelings, ne
glectful and even perhaps unkind
What should be the delight and com
fort of domestic life is embittered and
sometimes almost destroyed through
mutual ignorance of the great funda-
mental facts which control and color
the wonan's physical life.
Should there not be a more thor
ough confidence and frank under
standing between husbands and
wives, and between mothers and
daughters, on this all-important sub
ject? Ought not every one concerned
to make this problem OF repairing the
physical capacity, upon which all
other capabiliV depends. the fore
