Mr.. DeArnond, of Missouri, as a basis
fer a bitter personal attack upon
Chairman Cannon, whose home is at
Danville. He charged the chairman

MESSAGE TO UNDERTAKEN.
Note With Body Of Child Found NJ
b. md O. DepOt,

The dead body of the infant left in the
ladies' toilet room at the Baltimore and
Potomac depot yesterday afternoon was re-
moved to the morgue by Policeman Mans
field. 1t is certain the little body had been
left there by a woman, possibly the infants
mother, but the matron at the depot did
not see her.
AS stated in yesterdays Star, the pack
age was addressed to Undertaken Lee, and
in the box was sealed envelope, also adj
dressed to the undertaken. In this note the
infant was referred to as Little Willie"
and the undertaken was directed to call on
a local business man to defray the expenses
of Christian burial for the child
This note was retained by the undertaken
who had intended turning it over to the
police in the event of the autopsy showing
there had been foul play in the case Today
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook made an au-
topsy, and his examination showed that the
infant had been prematurely born several
days ago. This caused the belief that the
mother had kept the child's body in her
house during these days, hoping its father
would assist her in the way of defraying the
funeral expenses. Failing in this, it is con-
5ectured. she started out with the intention
OF leaving the package at the undertaker's,
but failing to find an opportunity to do so
without being discovered she left it in the
depot.
In view of the result of the autopsy a
death certificate will be given without the
holding of an inquest. The police will prob
ably make no further investigation of the
case

LANDING FORCE NEEDED
To Act in Conjunction With the Navy at
Havana.
Not Enough Sailors I'm the Fleet to
Occupy the Cfty-Upris-
ing Feared.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 12.-Great inter-
est is felt here in the preparations made by
the government officials to land troops in
Cuba. should such step become necessary.
An officer of high rank with the fleet, when
questioned on the subject today, said that
while he was not aware of any such ar
engagements having been made, he pre-
sumed the necessary steps in that direction
had been taken. He added that the fleet
itself could not transport sufficient num-
Der of men to make efficient landing
party. Therefore, transports must be pro-
vided, as it will be necessary to disembark
strong force of troops in Cuba, failing
which the first few shots fired are likely to
be the signal for rioting in the city of Ha-
vana and elsewhere, notably in the prov
inces of Matanzas and Pinar del Rio, in
which case many innocent lives will be
sacrificed.
A Spa niard of position said to an Eng
lishman, just before the latter left Havana
on Saturday last:
AS socn as the certainty of war is
XXI own here there will surely be such
demonstration as Havana has never known
before. l dread to think of the conse-
quences to life and property. Many of the
volunteers are mere lads of twelve or four
/ teen years of age. They have never han
died rifles until recently, and they have no
boys, even If they wanted to do so, could
rot keep their rifles out of the hands of
the rebels. The government cannot fur
iish protection and we shall be fortunate
If We are able to save our own SKINS
Dispatches received this morning from
the Sand Key fleet show that quiet pre-
walls on those warships, but the officers
and men believe that they will most GER
tainly be off to Havana very shortly The
work of coaling and watering goes on SO
that the ships may start with full supplies
but all such operations could be stopped
instantly were orders received for the fleet
to Move.
Ito not known that any additional ships
have been ordered here.
Tie indications are that the eXpectant
sailors will have another very hot day of
waiting fer news from Washington.

L EASED A CON UT
Arrangement Between the Potomac Company
and the Postal Telegraph Company.
Wires to BE Brought From George
town Through q Conduit to
the Main ONCE.

Arrangements have been made by the
Postal Telegraph Company to lease space
in the conduits of the Potomac Electric
Power Company, from Georgetown to the
heart of the city. 1t is the purpose of the
telegraph company to substitute under
ground wires for the overhead now in use
for much of the distance between the
points named. Workmen are engaged in
drawing into the conduits the cables con-
tanning the telegraph wires. and when the
task is completed the southern wires of
the company will be brought to the office
on Pennsylvania avenue near 14th street
through the underground conduits.
At present these wires are brought over
the Aqueduct bridge and from that point by
means of poles are carried by rather cir
cuitous route to 18th street and Florida
avenue, where one of the conduitS owned
by the company begins. A line of poles is
now maintained along the canal, thence
toward Tenleytown, and then by the Wood
ley Lane road to 10Th street and Florida
avenue.
Poles to be Removed.
All these poles are to be removed, and the
wires, after passing over the bridge, will be
conveyed into the conduits Of the Potomac
Electric Power Company, which extend to
this point and in that way will be brought
to the Office in this city.
The representative of Mr.. Allen, the man.
ager of the company, told a Star reporter
today that all the wires of the company
within the limits of the city. except few
local wires extending to the offices of stock
brokers, &c, were underground. He said
the company was ]. pioneer in this city in
placing wires underground, and while 1t
was found to cost more than the overhead
wires at the outset yet it was believed to
be cheaper in the end. He said the COM
pany had an experimental line in use in
the year 1889
Protection Against Storm.
That year there was a great storm, and
the only telegraph wire that was available
for use going out of the city was the one
that happened at that time to be in the
conduit. 1t was the experience of the COM
pany he said, when the wires were dam
aged by sleet and other natural causes,
that wires in the city suffered the most.
For this and other reasons he said, the
Postal, since 1891, had buried its wires. al
though there was no law compelling them
to do So He added that in addition to the
conduit beginning at 18th street and Flor
ida avenue there is also one at 9th street
and Florida avenue, and through these all
wires from the north entered the city and
as soon as the wires had been placed in the
coHduits of the Potomac Company the
southern lines would enter the city via
Georgetown.
