Sir-I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your communication 1nv1t-
ing me 10 lie present in Portland on the
arrival of the Naval Reserves. l also re-
ceived your dispatch stating that you will
arrive on Wednesday afternoon. On re-
ceipt of your communication l planned
to be in Portland this afternoon and
meet you and your command on arrival,
but last evening 1 received dispatch
from Governor Powers ordering me to
meet the board OF. officers at the camp of
the First Regiment this afternoon; this
duty rendered it impossible to reach

to forego the pleasure had
anticipated in meeting the Naval Re-

WIRES MUST GO UNDERGRO UND.

TO the Editor Of the Press:
The wires on Congress, Middle and Ex-
change streets must go under ground.
The telephone wires are already under
and the electric light wires must follow.
Those,enormously high poles are menace
to both life and property. and 1t may
reasonably be expected that heavy sleet
storm will break them down and II one
goes the whole lot through the entire
street are likely to follow. The great
height of the poles with the fearful strain
from the wires and with many of the
poles old, makes the danger very great.
The proposition Of the Cumberland Illu-
minat1ng company or the Portland
Electric Light company to put in a COM
plete underground system through Con-
gress, Middle and Exchange streets is the
strong point in its favor and there can be
no valid reason for refusing them the per-
mission asked for. No member of the city
government could possibly refuse without
having 1T appear that he is working in
the interest of the Consolidated Electric
Light company, and is disposed to foster
and aid monopoly that is worked clsar.
ly in the interest Of very few of our
people, the most Of the stock being owned
out of the state. The city cannot afford
TO nav the Consolidated Electric Light
company one cent more for lights than
the new company will furnish them, and
it cannot even afford to pay as much for
it should be the aim Of our city govern
ment to indorse new enterprises that will
bring cheaper lights and power into the
CITY for the benefit of all our citizens as
regards the amount saved, and also to en-
courage manufacturing enterprises.
Let the underground come in and COM
mel the Consolidated Electric Light COM
many to put their lines on these principal
streets under ground also, or let them ar
range with the new company to go into the
same ditch They will have to do this
very soon anyway and to save great
calamity which is liable to befall US be.
fore another winter has passed, they
should be compelled to do it now. II
would, of course, be out of ali reason to
expect an underground system for side
streets as this would be prohibitive in 6
city of this size. Then pole rights granted
any company should be given with the
understanding that any competing com
pany should havs the privilege of using
either for telephone, telegraph or electric
lights. This would insure low prices OF
what would otherwise be beyond thf
reach of most of our people.
Yours truly.

valuable relics owned in the city. 1t Is a
Hebrew scroll aud consists Of the book OF
Esther written in Hebrew on parchment.
Although six feet in length, 1t can be
rolled up in compact form as were many
of tho old manuscript books, before the
invention of the art Of printing. This
parchment was probably executed some.
time in the thirteenth century, and is
therefore about 500 years old.

sENTINELs NOT TO BLAME
For Shooting of Spanish Prisoners on the
Harvard.

Washington, September 15.-Col. Dud-
ley of this judge advocate generals de-
partment, reports to the war department.
that he is about to conclude the investi-
cation into the killing of the Spanish
prisoners on the U. S. S. Harvard after
the battle Of July s. Col. Dudley was
fortunate enough to reach Portsmouth
before the City OF Rome sailed for Spain
with the Spanish prisoners so that he
was enabled to take the testimony of q
number of them, including Admiral Ger
vera and several of his officers.
Dken from the Spanish account it does
not appear that the American sentinels
were to blame for the affair. One of the
pr isoners persisted in passing the rope
boundary of their confines and when the
American sentinel sought to drive him
within bounds, several of the other pris-
oners swarmed over the rope, while the
others became so highly excited and as
sumed SO threatening an attitude that
the small guard consisting OF about ten
.. S. soldiers felt obliged to TIRE upon
the offending prisoners.
Unfortunately no officers, either Ameri-
can or Spanish, were present OF the time
which happened at night, ielse trouble
might have been avoided. The testimony
OF the troops on the Harvard consistip
of the 34th Michigan and 9th Massachu-
setts regiments, will be secured, although
as the latter was on guard at the time,
it will not be necessary, in the colonePs
opinion, to take the testimony of the
Michigan men. AS the Massachusetts
regiment has been furloughed, great
difficulty has been experienced In finding
any OF the soldiers who witnessed the
affair and Col. Dudley is now engaged
at Boston in that task.
