GOING TO CUBA TO FIGHT.
Ex-ConsuI General DeLeOn Visiting
His savannah Friends.

Mr. Perry deLeon recently consul gen
eral 10 Ecuador, and whose resignation is
now in the hands of the state department,
has been in Savannah this week renewing
old acquaintance prior to making his de-
parture for Cuba, where he expects to
serve on the staff of Cen Wheeler or
some other commander, during the cam
paigns ON the Island.
Mir. deLeon has many acquaintances
here, having been a resident of Savannah
some years ago. He Is well known through
his literary work. Ever since the break
ing out of hostiutes with Spain he has
been anxious to have a hand in it. Com
ing on from Ecuador he rendered his res
ignation as consul general in order that
ne might secure a commission In the
army. The crush of applicants convinced
Mr.. de Leon that if he was going TO see
any active service at an early date some
other course would have 10 be pursued, so
ne secured letters to Gems. Lee, Wheeler
and a number of others prominent in the
army, and with these he hopes to secure
4 position on one OF the STATS in the field.

Congressman Boutelle of Maine and
some other prominent members of Con-
gr5ss have urged the state department
not to accept Mr. De Icons resignation,
but instead 10 grant him an indefinite leave
of absence. Mr.. BOutelle's efforts in this
direction are due to the fact that he gained
promotion in the Federal navy by his gall
lantry while lighting the Confederate ram
Albemarle on which MI De Leon was an
officer. Others are interested through the
knowledge that Mr.. De Leon has made Il
nne record as consul. The Exporters As

MOVING A HOUSE BY SCREWS.
Novel Work of Dividing Double
Residence on whitaker Street.

A piece of work of unusual interest is
now going on in Savannah, the novelty
of which surprises all who have seen it.
The work is being done on two S-story
houses on Whitaker street, between VALID
burg and New Houston. The houses are
of the kind known as a double house :"
and are of brick. The work consists of
detaching them and moving the southern
house about thirty five feet from its orig
inal position leaving the northern house
where il stands, making TWO separate in
stead of one double house.
Many frame houses have been moved in
Savannah, but this is the first attempt at
moving a brick house and it's successful
carrying out may be followed by others.
It IS a work requiring unusual care and
skill, the main difficulty, being to prevent
the settling and cracking of the walls Ii
Is intended that the house shall be moved
and placed on It's new foundations without
even the breaking of plasterlng, the deco
ration of which is costly Most people will
find this hard to believe, but they would
likewise find il hard 10 believe that
brick house could be moved at all.
The work has been going on for about
two weeks. The new foundations have been
built, and the house has already been NOV
ed about twenty feet without any damage.
The principal work in the moving which
has already been done, consisted of cutting
the houses apart and raising the southern
house off its old foundation and placing
it on rollers. In this work several car
loads of material have been used which
had to be special of It's kind Ninety-six
large jacN-screws were used to support
the house and iack-screws are also being
used 10 move the house. The old party
wall has been left on the northern house
and this leaves but three sides to the
house that is being moved the open side
being shored up during the moving
IL is expected chat the work of moving
win be completed during the next week
After that has been finished both houses
viii be remOdeled, making two separate.
handsome houses instead of the one large
double house.
The work is all being done from plans
by and under the direction of Architects
Eichberg q Witcoyer. The contract for
the moving is let to PIN & Taylor of At
lanta, and the contract for the remodel
ing after the moving is finished has been
let to Stewart Contracting Company. 1t
is expected that the work win be completed
and the houses ready for occupancy by

IN THE NEW POLICE COURT.
Recorder RaveneI Disposes of His
First Docket There Yesterday.

Recorder Ravenel held Police Court
yesterday in the now building. Every
thing worked smoothly, and from present
appearances the room will admira bly,
meet the requirements for which it is in
tended. While there is not as much space
as in the old court room, there is suffi-
Client accommodation for those who have
business there.
The prisoners are taken in singly as be-
fore. Since there is a passage connecting
the court room and the guard house, it is
no trouble to walk the prisoners from
there when wanted for trial. Then after
the hearing they are replaced in their
cells, which dispeuses with the trouble of
marching the gang to the court room and
back again to the guard house.
The advantages of the new building are
already manifest in dispatching the bust
ness of the court. They will be increas-
ed, however, when everything is in order

NENDEL REFUSED A PERMIT.

He Don't Get 1t.
Clerk of Council Bailey has declined to
issue Mr.. Selig Mendel permit to build
on the lot obstructing the continuation of
Bull street. In consequence Mr.. Mendel
has petitioned Council for the permit, and
if 1t is refused, he says he Will institute
mandamus proceedings, sue the city for
damages, and take other steps TO even up
matters.
When the permit was first asked, Clerk
Bailey held it under consideration pending
an Investigation, and on officially learning
the place it was intended to build was di-
rectly in the projected street he declined
to comply with Mr.. Menders request, re-
ferring him to Council. On receiving this
notice, a petition to Council was prepared,
setting out the facts, and asking that a
permit be granted at once.
UNLESS I am granted the permit" said
Mr. Mendel yesterday Il will begin man
damus proceedings to compel the city to
give me that to which l am entitled. In
the event l fail TO get the permit by ap-
pealiug to the courts, l will sue the city
for the damage it has caused in enforcing
me to pay rent where l now live. My
purpose is to build unless the city buys
the property, and it SENS 10 me this mat
ter may be summarly settled without
further delay"
Alderman Krouskoff said it was with
some reluctance the committee on open
ing streets decided to condemn the prop
erty, but it saw no other course. He said
it is apparent there is no possible chance
of coming to any terms with the owner,
as several overtures in this direction had
been unsuccessfully made The policy of
the city is to satisfy all from whom prop
erty is acquired but when obstacles like
the present come along, which it seems
impossible to surmouut the only thing is
To annual to the courts.
