Bochstaler of this city has received let
ter from his brother-in-law, William B.
Orner, on board the cruiser Baltimore
now at Manila. The letter was written at
Yokohama April II, and it indicates that
the sailors knew pretty well where they
were going and the kind of work that was
lows:
leave the latter part of the week for Hong
Kong, China, about 1000 miles from here.
There we join the rest of the fleet, and IN
the event of war will proceed from there
to Manila, Philippine Islands. The other
ships there waiting fo- us are the Olympia,
Concord. Petrol, Boston and Raleigh, and,
with this ship added, will make hard
crowd to whip. Spain has but two ships
of any consequence there. They are two
about the type of this one, and then she has
four or five frigates of the old style. They
have an excellent fort just ou Sde of Mani
la and an enormous army on the island, but
l think we will have a very small job of
1t. Yet We might have more trouble than
we anticipate in taking the place. AT any
rate, you can expect good account of us.

tain who would rather fight than eat, and
We all expect to go to victory or to hi N

GENTLY serious to justify at present the
enormous cost that would result from the
taking of lands and the destruction of

impossible that, even If it were desirable.

''The committee have, therefore, conclud-
ed that the wisest course that can be
adopted at present, and one that will at the
present time best subserve the interests
Of the municipality and the land owners
and of the United States, is to repeal the
act of March 2. 1893, to annul all the pro-
ceedings hereunder. to allow the sub
divisions heretofore made to remain for the

all uEsuhdivided lands outside the city
limits and outside the limits Of existing
subdivisions to prohibit the making and re-
cording of any new subdivisions or the lay
ing out or improving of any new streets
unless they shall be in conformity with the
plan of the city.
I'm this way any increase Of the evils
caused by new and irregular subdivisions
of unsubdivided and agricultural lands will
be effectually prevented, and time and op-
portunity will be afforded to determine
what it is necessary and possible to do in
respect of the application of the plan of

RELEASE OF THE LAFAYETTE.
It's Seizure Wns Due 10 Neglect to
Give Instructions.

"ANc
Any Intern tional difficulty connected with
the seizure of the French steamer Lafay-
cite has been removed by the release of the
vessel immediately upon notice Of her cap
ture reaching the State Department The
explanation for this action on the part of
the administration is given in the state
nent which follows and which was issued
from the White House last night:
The Lafayette was released in pursu-
anoe Of orders which were issued by the
Navy Department previously to her seizure,
but which had not been received by the
commanding officers of the vessels that
made the capture. The facts are that on
April % the French embassy made an in-
formal inquiry as to whether the Lafayette,
which left Saint Nazaire. France. fo- Vera
Cruz by way Of Havana before the war
was declared or information of the block
ade received, would be allowed to land at
Havana certain passengers, her mail bags
and the dispatch bag of the consulate gen
eral of France, and to take some Frenc..
passengers on board. An assurance was
given that. if this privilege should be
granted, the steamer would be forbidden by
the French consul % land goods.
The matter was duly considered, and it
was decided that, without regard to the
strict law Of blockade and as an act of
courtesy the request of the French gov
ernment should be acceded to. Orders were
accordingly sent On the I'd day of May.
When Information was received of the cap
ture of the steamer and of her having been
brought to Key West. those orders were
communicated to the captors. with instruc-
tions to release the steamer and to see that
the orders were duly delivered, SO that they
might be carried into effect. No demand
was made either by or on behalf Of the
French government, directly or Indirectly,
for the steamers release.

of the major generals who will command
the several corps will be announced at an

has yet been settled as to the rendezvous

Opposed to Government Paying.

1.-The committee, without considering any
questions as to the legal or equitable obli-
cations of the United States in the prem
ises, or whether or not at another time
or in respect of a different OF modified sys-
TEN of street extension the United States
should not be made chargeable for bene-
fits which it might receive from proposed
improvements, determined that at the pres
ent time and with reference to the system
of highways which has been adopted un-
der tine present law and laid down in the
prepared plans they could not recommend
that any part of the cost of carrying into
effect The system proposed should be i'm
posed upon and paid by the United States.
THE committee are unwilling at present
to advise the final approval and adoption
and to provide for the execution of the sys-
tenn described in the maps which provides
for the division of the entire areas outside
the cities into small squares or parcels of
ground. and which cannot be carried into
effect within any reasonable time or with
out costly litigation which must continue
for an indefinite period.
THE question then arose whether. in
view of the decision of the committee that
they could not now recommend that one
half or any part of the cost of the proposed
system of street extensions should be paid
by the United States, the act could be ad-
vantageouSly amended to meet the Gbjec-
tions revealed by its attempted execution,
or whether it should be entirely repealed.
"All the amendments and the bills 20
amend before the committee provided Tor
the permanent retention in the office of the
surveyor of the District and the recording
in the land records of the District of the
maps and plans completed or to be COM
pleted in accordance with the requirements
of the act.
'"These recorded maps and plans show
that over and upon the areas of the sec
tions to which they respectively relate are
streets and avenues established as perma-
nent highways, and that they include
within their limits about one-third of the
entire section over which they are laid.
1.-The statements made to the committee
showed most conclusively, and it was not
disputed that although the legal effect of
the filing of these maps was not to divest
the owner of the lands within the bound
aries of the proposed streets of his title or
to disturb his right of possession yet the
actual results and consequences of the fl
ing of the maps have been to impair the
value of the lands upon which the lines
of proposed streets face, to make the sale
thereof, the borrowing of money thereon,
and the renewal of mortgages extremely
difficult and in many instances impossible.
Serious losses and In many Instances alb
solute ruin have been caused thereby to
many poor persons and to persons of mod
crate means.
I'm all abstracts of title the lines of the
proposed streets are mentioned, and 1t is
unquestionably true that the presence OF
these maps on the land records operates
