Condemnation Proceedings.-A jur

condemnation PrOceedings.-Aj jury
of condemnation summoned by Sheriff H
G. Thompson, of this county, upon the ap-
plication of the Washington and Great Falls
Electric Railroad Company met on Thurs
day of last week at the hotel at Cabin John.
The land which it was desired to condemn
consists of three and half acres lying on
the southern side OF the Conduit road at
the east end of the bridge. 1t belongs to
the Messrs Bobinger, who own the hotel at
this end of the bridge, and witnesses were
heard as to the value of the land 1t was
stated by Mr.. Jacob P. Clark, the president
Of the Great Falls Railroad Company, that
the company desired the land for railroad
purposes.
Witnesses who were called to testify as
to the value of the land gave evidence as to
the effect upon the balance of the tract
owned by the Bobingers in case this land
was taken, and also it was testified that If
hotel was erected on this site the business
of the hotel managed by the Bobngers
would be greatly injured. After hearing
all the evidence the jury brought in yer.
dict that the land was worth, under the cir.
cumstances, $4,000.
As is well known, the tracks of the Great
Falls Railroad extend to what might be
called the eastern end Of the bridge, it hav-
ing right of way through this tract of
land. The Glen Echo Railroad uses the
tracks of the Great Falls from the point
where the road comes out on the Conduit
road to subdivision known as lakewood -,
just above the ground of the National Chau
tauqua, but about half mile below Cabin
John bridge.
The Glen Echo road has authority to use
the tracks of the other road all the way to
the bridge, and, desiring to continue its line
to that point, those who have control OF the
road, which, as is we'll known, is a Phila-
delphia syndicate represented by MIR. Gus
tav Stahl, secured from the Messrs. Bobin
ger the right OF way over their land to the
Cabin John Bridge, the route being south
OF that of the Great Falls railroad and pass
ing near the Conduit road
In the event that the Great Falls railroad
takes the land under these condemnation
proceedings at the price named, the right OF
way of the Glen Echo road, it is said, will
not be available. The Glen Echo people
have already begun the construction of that
section of the line from lakewood To the
bridge.
AT the hearing Thursday Messrs Peter g.
Henderson represented the Messrs. Bobin
ger and Mr.. John Ridout and Alexander
Kilgour the Great Falls Railroad

Denver, Col, Dec. 21. - Lieut.. Rich
mond p. Iiobson was the guest of the
city of Denver Wednesday,. He arrived
from Kansas City over the Union Pa
cific railway at four o'clock in the
morning, but remained in his sleeper
until eight a. m, when he was met by
committee of the Sons of the Revolu-
ton and was escorted to the Brown
Palace hotel, where breakfast was
served
The naval hero was heartily cheered
by hundreds of people who had assem-
bled at the depot and the hotel to give
him u welcome. During the forenoon
the lieutenant visited the high school
and the manual training school and
was introduced to the students, who re-
ceived him most enthusiastically He
also called at the state house and chat
ted briefly with Gov Adams, but the
proposed drive about the city was cur
tailed owing to snowstorm. At one
o'clock the Sons of the Revolution gave
a luncheon in honor of their guest and
from three to four o'clock public re.
ception was held at the Brown. At five
o'clock Lieut.. Hobson gave his lecture

ORDERED TO HAVANA.
Vice Consul-General Springer to
Close Up Affairs of United States
80. Consulate General There.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The state de-
eral Springer to proceed to Havana and
close up the affairs Of the United States
consulate general there. The consular
offices throughout Cuba will not be
abandoned just now, but will be closed
temporarily until such time as, through
the recognition of the independence of
the Cubans, it may become necessary to
resume business through them.
The department as yet has taken
no steps towards reopening the Amer
lean consulates in Spain, and this will
probably be allowed to wait the ex-
change of notifications of the peace
treaty. In the absence of the usual
treaties of amity and commerce the
status of the United States consuls who
will be sent to Spain will be somewhat
indefinite, but it is not doubted that
they will be afforded proper facilities
for the discharge of their duties Gu
riously enough, one at least, and per-
haps more of the United States con-
sular officers remained at his post
throughout the entire war undisturbed.
The officer was not an American citi-
zen, but that in itself would not have
protected him from the interference of
the Spanish officials in the making of
his usual reports to the state depart
ment. Another curious fact is that
there was received without intermis-
sion throughout the war at The navy de-

GEN. MILES TESTIFIES.
vestigating Commissl0n-Tells OF
Confusion and Lack of Medicine.

Washington, Dec. Fl. - Gen. Miles
testified before the war investigating
commission Wednesday.
"Are you willing to be sworn? % he was
asked.
81 Think" was the reply, "that can
say what have to say without being
sworn"
Gen. Miles was fortified with large
package of papers and had his own
stenographer. lie gave his evidence in
a clear, unhesitating way and went into
details regarding both the Santiago
and Porto Rico expeditions. He opened
by describing the railroad confusion in
getting the war munitions to Tampa,
and described the overcrowding of the
transports.
The commissary stores taken, he
said, were sufficient, but the medical
supplies were inadequate. He had left
the loading, except for general direc-
tons, to the corps commander, Gen.
Shafter.
AT Santiago the supply of tentage and
food was very limited.
"Were the medical supplies at that
time sufficient for the needs of the
command?" he was asked. In reply
he read a dispatch from Gen. Shafter
on August which referred to "chron-
ic scarcity of medicines" and that four
men had just died from lack of medi-
cines. There was at no time, said Gen.
Miles, sufficient medicine for the
troops. Gen. Miles said the transporta-
ton facilities were used to carry sup
plies to some $4,000 to 10000 refugees
from Santiago and about 5000 Cuban
troops. "This," he stated i'll answer to
question, "was not expected, be-
cause I had cautioned Gen. Shafter to
keep his men out of the Spanish build
ings of every character. and TO keep the
men away from the natives. Had he
not done as he did, the army would
have been much better supplied"
He had advised against the shipping
of beef to Porto Rico, both because
there was abundance of it on the is
land, as we'll as because of his belief
that it was defective. He character
lied the refrigerator beef, of which
there were 327 tons sent, as "embalmed
beef" and said the canned fresh beef,
of which 10000 pounds had been
shipped there, was condemned by Of
ficers whose commands used it.
"Who fixed that beef as an army ra-
tion?"
you'll have to ask some one here in
Washington. You had better ask the
secretary of war or the commissary
general. 1t was sent as food. If they
had not taken"that they would have had
to go hungry. If they had sent pay
masters down there, as asked, we
could have bought food, but they did
not do that"
Gen. Miles suggested that the food
was sent to his large army under pre-
tense of an experiment.

COPPER, NOT GOLD, MINE.
Evidence That New Discovery in
Colorado Is Not as Rich as
Reported.

Denver, Col, Dec, 21.--Latcst reports
from Dawson City, the new mining
camp in the Green Horn mountains,
near Canon City, indicate that the rich
gold ore found in the Copper King
claim by the Dawson brothers came
from small pocket. Experts are of
the opinion that copper mine may
be opened on the claim. but do not ex-
pect that a gold bonanza will be found
there. However, other discoveries Of
free gold in the neighborhood are re-
ported and the town is growing rap
idly.

in gold, had been found in the Colorado
