AN ALLEGED sCANGAL
In Connection With the Sale OF an Amers-
can Cemetery in Jerusalem

ttH tthItitfy III otFusaAtm.
London, March Truth, to-day, as
a sequel to the request made that its
editor take steps to expose an alleged
scandal in regard to the sale Of the
American cemetery at Jerusalem by
the American Presbyterian Board of
Foreign Missions, says:
The American missionaries and the
consul were represented, the bodies
were represented the bodies were rev.
erently exhumed and were removed.
But the action of Lord Salisbury in
having the pit in the English cemetery
in which they We're re-buried opened
in order to recover the remains of an
English officer, led to the CHASTITY dis
covery that all the bodies had been
broken up and packed in small wooden
boxes so that neither the body of the
officer nor any other body could be
identified. Both the sale Of the ceme-
terry and the removal of the corpses
appear to have been carried out in an
extremely disgraceful manner"
The sale Of the American cemeters
at Jerusalem is alleged to have been
made in order to replenish the funds
Of the American Presbyterian Board
Of Foreign Missions and secrecy. it is
added, was observed, because the sale
was contrary to Turkish law. Friends
of Englishmen whose bodies had been
buried there are said to have protest
ed to the State Department at Wash
ington, to the United States Minister
at Constantinople, and to the British
Office
Eventually, it was added, they asked
Truth to investigate the matter, as
they had been unable to obtain re-
dress.

Yesterday morning Superintendent
of Streets J. A. Britt put his four
white Wings to work at street clean
ing, on Market street, between Tenth
and the creek, and the neat uniforms
of the men at once attracted attention,
and there was considerable interest -
the work during the remainder of the
day.
The men were handicapped in their
start from the fact that the street has
not been washed for ten days or so,
and there was consequently a consid-
cradle accumulation of dirt, which four
men could not make much progress in
removing in one day. Still much was
accomplished, and in a few days Mar
ket street at least will present a diff
ferent appearance. Had the men been
put on right after the hose was used,
they could not only have kept the
street assigned them in frst-class
shape, but could have made excursions
into the neighboring alleys and onto
Main street The conditions will be
different later on, however, and much
will be accomplished in the direction
of clean streets.
The little hand-carts worked to per-
fection and many a bag OF refuse was
tied up and deposited on the sidewalk,
whence it was removed by horse and
cart Tn system is undoubtedly the
right one, for it means a discontinue
ance of the policy of cleaning a street
and then neglecting it for several
weeks. Under the new dispensation
somebody will be everlastingly at work
on the streets in the heart of the city,
and their average condition will, con-
sequently, be vastly improved, while
the time-honored disposition of people
to throw all sorts of refuse, waste pa
per, etc, into the streets, will be curb
all the powers of a policeman, and
has instructions to arrest all offenders
OF this class.
It is the intention of the Board of
Public Works to put on additional
men as fast as possible, and by the
time summer rolls around it is likely
that fifteen or twenty men will be
regularly employed, and that the ser
vice will be widened, to some extent,
at least, to all parts of the city, and
the best results are expected as well
as much public satisfaction.

No MORE BODIES
Found by the Divers at Havana Yes
terday---The Vizcaya Arrives at
Havana and Receives a Warm
Welcome.

Havana, March 1.-The Spanish
cruiser Vizcaya arrived off MORO
Castle at o'clock this evening after
a good voyage from New York She
was met by scores of steam launches
and gaily decorated yachts with bands,
and as she steamed to her mornings
enthusiastic welcomes were shouted
from all the quays, which were lined
with thousands of people. The streets
and plazas were gay with bunting,
rockets were discharged and there was
continuous cheering from all the BOATS.
The Mayor of Havana, Marquis de
Esteban, as director of the festivities,
was the first to board the vessel, going
out in General Blancos launch. The
officers of the Vizcaya will call first
upon Admiral Manterola and then upon
the CAPTAIN General. The Almirante
Oquende is expected from the Canaries
at an early day, and she also will be
given popular welcome.
The divers are much disappointed at
not recovering any bodies to-day but
hope to be more fortunate tomorrow.
The Spanish divers to whom Captain
Sigsbee has furnished plans Of the
Maine will begin their work tomorrow
morning. The steamer Bache left late
this evening for Tortugas with the
wounded.
The divers on the Right Arm got to
work this morning in earnest Cap
tain Everett, chief of the divers, was
in charge and the water being lower
than usual, it was soon learned that
the steerage hatch was partially clear,
though blocked to some extent by one
of the smoke stacks. The divers sue
ceeded in entering the after torpedo
compartment, where they hoped to
find the bodies of Lieut.. Jenkins and
Merritt, as well as the remains of
members of the crew of the battleship.
The officers mentioned were last seen
in the after torpedo compartment and
up to this morning the divers feared
to enter it, there being great danger
that the life lines or air hose might
catch in the wreckage about the
smoke stacks. The Spanish officers
directing the divers of the government
of Spain called on Captain Sigsbee to-
day on board the lighthouse tender
Fern and were given all the informa-
ton they needed.
