CUBAN JUNTA MAKES A DENIAL.

New York, Jan. 26. AS i'm the case of
Hawkins which foundered with "a Cuban
filibustering expedition Off the Long
Island coast, nearly two years ago. IL Is
not likely that the United States author
tiles will take any action In regard TO the
steamer Tillie which sank of Earnegat
Sunday afternoon. United States Marshal
John ii. Mccarthy said today that he had
no orders from Washington IN regard to
the survivors OF the Tiilie expedition.
nrhe Tillis was placed on the dry dock
and examined before being allowed TO
leave these waters. Some repairs which
wero ordered were made ana the Tillie
was considered seaworthy when allowed
to go to sea by the local inspectors Of
steam vessels
Captain John O'Brien. who was on
board the Tillis says hs des not believe
that she sank through the treaohery of
any one.
Others OF those who were on the Tillie say
that she would not have gone TO the bottom
had her pumps worked properly.
At the office Of the Cuban jaunta here, all
knowledge Of the Tillie was disclaimed and
IL WAS officially declared that the junts had
had nothing to do with the expedition.

FOR STREET LIGHTING.
The Commissioners Recommends.
tion Regarding welshach Burn ers.


A report concerning the amendment in
tended to be proposed by Senator PEN
rose to House bill No. 6S97. relative to
public lamps equipped with the improved
Welsbach incandescent burners, was sub
mitted to Senator Mcmillan yesterday, By
the District Commissioners.
The report states that the Commission
ers have for some years past endeavored
to obtain Congressional authority to use
improved burners for street lighting. with
view to determining the desirability OF
burners of the character of the Welsbach.
The bill making appropriation for the ex-
penses of the District, for the fiscal year
ending June so, 1889. as it passed the
House contains provision by which $500
of the street lighting appropriation may
be used for the maintenance of Welsbach
or other improved form of lamp. if said
provision is slightly amended so as to
mean what ii is intended TO do.
The Commissioners have recommended
to the Senate Committee on District APP
preparations, continues the report, "au-
thority to use So. coo of the street light
ing appropriation, with the removal of
the restrictions as 10 the price per lamp
and consumption of gas per hour. If this
recommendation is favorably considered
by the Senate and becomes part of the
District appropriation bill, il will give the
Commissioners authority to spend as
much money for street lighting. with i'm
proved form of burners, as seems desir-
able during the next fiscal year.
