ALEXANDRIA.
The Question of the Removal OF the
County COurt-HOuse.

County COurt-HOuse.
ALEXANDRIA, VA, January N.-(Spe-
cial.)-At a meeting of the Board of Su-
peryisors Of Alexandria county held yes
terday the controversy between the city
and county of Alexandria over the divi-
sion of the courthouse property on North
Columbus street was discussed at length.
and bill was framed to be forwarded TO
Delegate Barley This bill determines the
respective interests Of the city and the
county i'm the property. fixing it at one
half each. Tho measure will conflict very
seriously with the one framed by the
CITY Council on Tuesday night, in which
the interests of the city and county are
designated as three-fourths and one
fourth respectively. What action Colonel
Barley will take when these widely-differ-
ent bills reach him is matter OF con-
lecture.
The Board of Supervisors drew up an
other bill to be presented to the Legisla-
ture. authorizing the removal OF the
ourt-house from Alexandria to Fort
Myer Heights and a third bill for the
issuance of bonds TO the amount OF So
600. 10 pay for the erection Of the pro-
posed new courthouse and Jail. The re-
moval of the county seat from Alexan-
dria TO some more convenient point has
long been the wish of the residents OF
Alexandria county. but this cannot be
done until the partition Of the Columbus
street property is made, and an act OF
LEGISLATURE legalizes the change.

Other EilibusterinS Expeditions

Philadelphia, February 14.-It was
announced today in Cuban circles in
this city that a charge af arms and
ammunition was successfully shipped
on a tug boat late On Saturday night
from a point on the Delaware river be-
low Wilmington, Del The cargo is re-
ported to have consisted of 100000
rounds OF cartridges and about 500
rifles. The tug boat is said to have
been one of the seven sent out on the
night from various points along the
coast with orders to rendezvous at a
point off the Atlantic a beyond the
jurisdiction Of the United States gov
ernment and there to transfer their
cargo to a steamer. The vessel said
to have been used was a small but
fast tug boat which steamed from the
upper Delaware river to Wilmington.
At a number CT points along the Della
ware shore men were stationed with
small skiffs and supplies of war muni-
tiOns Of such bulk as not to attract at
tentiOn. When darkness had fallen a
signal was given from the tug boat and
at intervals the skiffs propelled by
mufhed oars, shot out from the shore
and in a short time the cargo was
placed on board and the small boats
returned to the shore. The work was
lone under the direction of a promi-
nent Cuban of this city. When he ar
rived here today and made the result
of the work Known he said The
de Lone affair has been a great thing
for us. We have been preparing for
several days for this venture and We
believe it will be the best yet sent out
in point Of value. The junta believe it
is safer to send small lots in the man
ner we did on Saturday night. The eX-
pedition consists entirely of arms and
ammunition and no men will be sent
on the steamer that vas assigned to
meet the tugs" For obvious reasons
he declined so say where the tugs were
to meet the steame until he felt as
sUred she had gotten away safely.
Savannah, February 14.-Trhe tug
Dauntless left Savannah yesterday
morning, loaded with sixty tons of
cCal. 1t is rumOred hat she will meet
another vessel off Tampa.
Washington, February 1.-THE Off
cials of the treasury department have
information through Spanish sources,
that the suspected filibuSter DauntlesS
has succeeded in GLIDING the vigilance
Of the government officials at Savan-
nan and has passed out Of the harbor
to sea. The DauntTeSs is said to have
a cargo of nm ammunition and
other supplies intended for the Cuban
insurgents. The treasury has notified
the customs officials and revenue
cutters along the coast to be on the
alert and detain the supposed f}ibuster
if possible.

Cuba since the advent Of the new
regime under General Blanco.
Mr.. Quigg made a brief statement,
saying that in December the president
had notified the house that the indie
fensible policy of concentration in Cuba
had been abandoned by Spain in def
erencc to the repeated requests Of our
gov eminent and that a more peaceful
and humane policy had been adopted.
The object of this resolution was sim
ply to ascertain what had been done
and what steps had been taken look
ing to the acceptance Of autonomy by
the Cuban people. Three months, he
added, have elapsed since
had been promulgated.
In order to retain control Of the
floor, Mr.. QLigg asked for the previous
question, but yielded five minutes 10
Mr.. DismOre, democrat, of Arkansas,
the senior minority member of the for
eign affairs committee, who said the
resolution had been unanimously re-
ported by the committee. It's purpose
was to put the house and the country
in the possession of the real facts con-
corning the condition of the people OF
Cuba, both in military and private life.
The press was full Of stories regarding
the d~eploraDle condition of the concen-
trados and the suffering that prevailed
~ - 0'AS ~ III '0ANA q
TO the facts in order to determine what
responsibility was placed upon US TO
bring about the conclusion Of the war
and thus end the existing distress.
Mr.. Terry, democrat, Of Arkansas,
asked Mr.. Quigg if the committee on
foreign affairs had considered the de
LONE incident.
That is hardly a pertinent inquiry"
replied Mr.. Quigg, blandly.
'It iS a nprtinpOr in0nirV in the minds
Of the American people," exclaimed
Mr.. Terry, land don't you forget it,"
1T is being considered by the proper
authorities" retOrted Mr.. Quigg.
Mr.. Cooper, republican, Of Wisconsin,
called attention to the fact hat early
in the session, during the consideration
Of the diplomatic appropriation bill,
Mr.. Hit, chairman of the foreign af-
fairs committee, had stated N the
floor in explicit terms that Spain had
abandon the. policy of concentration.
He wanted to know why this inquiry,
when the committee knew Mr.. Hits
statement that the policy of cOncentra-
ton had been reversed.
Mr.. Quigg responded that this resO-
ltiOn would put the house in complete
possession of the facts. There was no
effort on the part of the minority to
contest the ordering Of the previous
question.
The resolution was adopted without
a dissenting voice.
Among the District measures acted
upon favOrably was one to investigate
the price and quality of gas and tele-
phone charges in the district. "A joint
resolution accepting the invitation of
the government of Norway to an in
ternatiOnal fisheries exposition at Ber-
gen, Norway, from May to September,
1898, was adopted.
At 4:55 o'clock p. m, the house ad-
jOurned.
