when paved with granite blocks, need

THE MARINES FINE RECORD.
Not u Man of the Seven Hundred il,
Cuba Died of sickness.

Col. Haywood, of the Marine Corps,
made a statement this morning regarding
tn marines who were sent early to Cuba
and did the first fighting on that island.
Over roo of the marines went TO Cuo2
and they remained there longer than any
OF the military forces.
The record shows that only PA per cent
were sick, and not a man died as the &c
suit of disease.
Col Haywood claims that the splendid
discipline maintained and the rigid sani-
tarv rules that were enforced brought
about such a fortunate and splendid re-
suit. He is not disposed TO reflect upon
the volunteers. but thinks the facts bear
out the assertion. that lack of strict
discipline is responsible for so much sick
ness and such a great number of deaths
from sickness among the volunteers.

time would be lost in waiting 10 have

attention of the residents interested.
1.-THE city should be divided into four d.
visions. according 10 the number of hab-
itations, and an inspector, with proper
tionate number of men, horses and carts,
placed in charge of each division. Each
division should be sub-divided into six
sections. one section for each working day
of the week and TO be taken up on me
same day each week in regular order,
thus enabling the citizens to be ready for
the ash cart, as they would know just
when to expect it.
1.-THE ashes should be removed In COW
cred carts to prevent them from blowing
over the streets and into the faces of peo-
pie passing by. In this way the ashes
could be utilized for filling and extending
streets that are below grade, instead of
being dumped in the public alleys, streets
or vacant lots in violation OF the police
regulations They might also be used TO
help fill in the marshes and flats Of the
Eastern Branch, which would be a benefit
to the District, as well as to the general
government.

PLANS FOR SMOOTH STREETS.
Granite Blocks May Give Way TO
Asphalt Paving.

When Congress convenes the District
Commissioners will ask for authority 10
gradually replace the granite block sur
face of many of the streets of the city
with asphalt. Many of the city thorough
fares, like Seventh Street northwest, d
Street northwest, and Louisiana Avenue,
are paved with these rough blocks, and 1t
is pointed out that as the traffic is not
heavy enough to warrant such paving, it
would be as well, and even better for
business interests, if these streets were
surfaced with asphalt.
The plan of the Commissioners, as pro-
posed by Commissioner Beach, is to grad
ually remove the granite blocks of all the
streets thus paved, and send them into
the suburbs for use in improving the
roads of the county. In this way there
would be little If any waste of material,
and considerable economy of expense,
while the roads of the county, as well as
the business streets Of the center of the
city, would be equally improved.
Commissioner Beach outlined his plan
to q reporter for The Times yesterday as
follows:
There is no doubt that the rough sur
| face of streets paved with granite blocks
enough here to warrant such streets. and
| 1t seems to me that these granite surfaces
| could be replaced with asphalt payements
and very materially improve the looks of
| the city, as well as helping the business
| interests which are thus affected. In the
| first place all granite pavements are
| noisy, and this incessant noise during the
middle of the day Is to many very dis
agreeable. Then. many persons in convey
| ances prefer to shop on the streets over
which they may ride smoothly to the diff.
| ferent stores.
There are many county roads on which
| the traffic is too heavy for their present
macadam surfaces. Macadam, too, does
not seem to answer the purpose, and Il
| costs an enormous sum of money to keeI
i II in condition. The Commissioners will
/ therefore recommend that Congress star
| the policy of repiacing the surfaces of al
the rough streets Of the city, which, o.

BOARDS CAN'T AGREE.
Aldermen Say CounclImsn Should Have
Come to Them.

Republican members Of common
council are curious to know whom the
republican members of aloermanic
board endorsed, Thursday night. 1t is
simply curiosity in their case. They
don't care a particle and don't hesitate
in saying so.
Aldermen feel aggrieved that the re-
publican councilmen did not ask for
committee of conference. The coun
cilmen say they didn't want one; if
the aldermen did, it was for them to
ask.
Aldermen accuse the councilmen of
lacking courtesy toward them; coun-
cilmen reply they didn't want anything
and thus made no oVertures. When
questioned why they didn't make the
overtures to the caucus Of councilmen
aldermen reply that such action is be-
meath their dignity. Cr--ncilmen re
taliate by saying that anything good
enough to have, is good enough to ask
for
That the aldermen wanted a confer
ence badly was shown by their propos-
al. They suggested that a joint com
mittee of six be appointed, and said
they would content themselves to abide
by the decision of the committee. That
pledge meant, if the counCilmer want
ed to run things to suit themselves, the
aldermen acknowledged themselves a
minor factor in the matter. Although
the proposal detracted nothing from
the powers of the republican council
men, they said they wanted nothing to
do in the matter, and there the fight
stands. Aldermen say they will make
no more offers; councilmen say they
don't want any.

Neither Mr.. Mcnamara nor Mr.. Muir
ply would divulge the result of their
visit, but it is generally believed ar
were made by which a sat
