piles of rock and dirt are seen in the center,
while the horses of the car line which is
supposed to occupy the thoroughfare are
transformed into group of standing and
kneeling camels, veritable ships of the des-
ert, patiently awaiting their loads. The
church edifice itself has undergone an as
founding architectural change. There is
tower, to be sure, and behind 1t are roofs,
but these roofs are not familiar to the eyes
OF Washingtonians. They have a decidedly
oriental appearance, a suggestion of nina
rets. touch of Arabian design. In the
foreground are the ruins of what might
pass for beer vaults or medieval dungeons.
Desolation is writ large the face of the

The Demand for Open Doors.

Criticism of the war inquiry board seems
to be confined now TO the question of open
sessions Tor representatives of every News
paper which may desir- 10 have a special
report of the proceedings. The reports that
are going out are not meager, and their
accuracy is unques toned and unquestion-
able. but still the point is made in some
quarters that the sessions should be in the
fullest sense Of the word public. The doors
should be set wide open for all who may
care to attend the meetings, and table room
be provided for as many reporters as may
present themselves properly accredited for
work.
The board would not err or fnconveni-
ence itself by conceding this point. Tne in-
quiry is fairly under way row, and the at
tention of the country fixed on what is be-
ing developed. The subject is unInistak-
ably one Of national interest. An lndict-
ment Of many counts and carrying very
grave charges has been lodged and the
trail is on. Many of the witnesses to be
called are mCE of prominence and what
they know will De calculated to throw i'm
ECrtant and valuable light on the whole
line OF inquiry. The simple likeness there
fCre which the proceedings bear to judiclu |
proceedings invests with some respect The
demand for wide open doors and an indi-
NlduaI report for every newspaper whose
enterprise with opportunity would go that
fsI.
As We nave said. provision as matters
stand Is already made for full reports of
all hearings through well accredited news
agencies. and the reports SO far have haen
clear and readable. 1t might be too. taat
even with opportunity, few newspapers
would demand more. But open doors wouI-i
accommodate everybody. and would Ger
talnly silence criticism. The present aI.-
rangement we may believe, was not de
cided upon by the board with other than Il
proper object in view. But in matters
where public opinion counts and the Iri-
msry object is 10 satisfy just public curl
osity it is Sometimes advisa Bile TO surren-
der private Judgment and guide by CHS
tom.
The board is SO thoroughly competent Ia
zeal with the business il has in hand. and
has So important a task to execute. su n
a concession as the one in question couI5
be made by it without injury to any fc;
tufe OF its program or purposes. The polut
cannot be important 10 the board, and fhp
board can afford to yield it to such as may
mold that 1t is important To them.

General Lee for Havana.

There could be no better news respecting
Cuba than the announcement that General
Lee will shortly move his command to the
island and establish his headquarters In
Havana. Cubans and Americans alike
may well be glad of so wise an arrange
ment. And for several reasons.
QJ General Lee has made the Cuban ques-
ton the subject OF special and thorough
study. He understands it in every one
of its important phases. He was. in the
first place. an advocate of the expulsion
of the Spaniards by force. His experience
with them and his observations of their
manifold cruelties and receptions practiced
on the Cubans taught hum that there could
be neither peace nor prosperity for Cuba
until the Spanish flag was lowered. And
when he became convinced that the Maine
was destroyed by Spanish agencies his
voice vas for immediate redress. He re-
turned home to meet the acclamations of
the whole country, and he will now return
to Cuba with the country's fullest conf
dence. He has ability to meet the new
situation successfully as he met the old
(2) He fully enjoys the confidence of
all the Cubans And surely he is entitled
to it. He has been their firm and unfalter-
ing friend from the day he first had oppor-
tunity to examine their cause. He cham
ploned them for awhile indeed in the face
of positive encouragement from his supe-
riOrs here at home. Neither Mr.. Cleveland
nor Mr.. Olney had any sympathy with the
stand the American consul general had
taken at Havara. 1t was not until Mr..
Mckinley took Office that General Lee
found the proper support From that time
he made himself felt in the affairs of the
island He forced respect for American
citizenship. he probed the horrors of Wey
lerism. he urged the appropriation for feed
ing the starving and superintended the
beneficent work. His activity saved thou
sands of lives. If there is man on top
of ground not of their own race to whom
the Cubans are most deeply in debt, both
for sympathy and practical assistance, that
man is General Lee.
CO His new duties call for experience in
civil as well as in military affairs He
goes at the head of an army but at the
same time to lend aid to the laying of
foundations for a civil government. AS
governor of Virginia he had valuable ex-
perience in the one field. and a soldier
he has distinguished himself in two wars.
His camp at Jacksonville is pronounced by
his superior officers to be a model; and he
has been publicly complimented upon the
admirable appearance presented by his
men. That he will meet the emergency in
Cuba admits of not the slightest doubt.
a. The force which General Lee will take
with him is composed almost in equal parts
of northern and southern men, and will
thus tyDify the reunited country. The
duty to be performed. while comprehending
no fighting, will yet be difficult. Condi-
tiGns all over the island are deplorable. but
probably at point more so than at Ha-
yana and in its immediate neighborhood.
So that even garrison service in such cir
cumstances calls for picked men and
most capable commander. And the Presi-
dent by his selection has provided both.

The Fighting Tenth.

There wasn't any color line
At San Juan that day;
They didn't look so very fine.
1t was their dogged way
OF going straight where duty led
That made their record bright;
A nation cheered them when they said
We're simply here to fight
And many happy man has grasped
Again the sable hand
Whose rifle, resolutely clasped,
Answered to each command.
And many heart bereft would pine
Were it not just to say
There wasn't any color line
AT San Juan that day."

(Oontinued From Yesterday.)

The flush that leaped to her face, the angry light to her eyes she could neither conceal nor control For a mo- ment she stood there amazed, enraged and trembling, then these words burst from her lips: ''I thought loved you, Randy Merriam-not two months ago yes. despite everything! Now hate you." And with this melodramatic speech she impetuously and abruptly turned, and for the second time took refuge, dust or no dust, at the rear door way, the presentation to her husband apparently forgotten. For proper and reasonable minute he awaited her return-then, quickly stepping back, seated himself by his young wife's side. His hand sought and found hers; his fond eyes, eagerly searching, were not long denied the upward, appealing glance of hers. "Did you read? Do you approve, dear love?" he softly asked. "It would be exasperation to have to travel on with them. Shall wire to Stoneman?
 whispered answer. "Only you won't have to leave me again, will you?''
 ''Only for an instant, dear, just long enough to send the dispatch from Fauntleroy-one station ahead. She will not trouble you again.
 And from Fauntleroy brief tele- gram was flashed along the wires to the post quartermaster at a famous old Arizona station, two hours ride beyond, and when the brilliantly lighted train came steaming up to the platform there stood brace of officers with well come in their eyes; and before Mrs. McLane, once again seated in her sec tion and feigning deep interest in her book, could realize what had happened, MT. and Mrs. Merriam were leaving the car, he merely raising his hat in civil farewell-the bride, however. as the re- suit of brief conference with her lord, smiling bravely down into the upturned face of their startled neighbor and say ing: "I hope you may have delightful journey, Mrs. McLane. Goodnight"

It was found tia; after striking full force and partially destroying the contents of fiat pocket book in his overcoat the ball, deflected, evidently, had torn it's way round under the skin of the left breast and burst it's way out below the armpit. Bleeding was profuse and the shock severe, yet the physicians think that the chances are in favor of his recovery.
 "There is much mystery about the affair. The coachman says man and a woman walked up and down in front of the club on the opposite side of the street full half an hour before MT. Me Lane came out, he being accompanied by friend who had formed one of their party at whist. Instantly the strange man left the side of the woman, hurried across the street, and, placing his left hand on MT. McLane's shoulder, turned him sharply, and accosted him in low, somewhat angry tone. The moment he spoke MT. McLane struck furiously with his right hand at the others face, then
 
 later pistol was found. It was at this instant that the other fired. The car riage horses, startled, attempted to run, and by the time the coachman had regained control of them they were some dis tance down the street. On his return. MT. McLane was being borne into the club. Quite little crowd had gath cred, but nobody but himself and the friend referred to, who was some what intoxicated, had seen anything ot the shooting. A neighbor said he saw man and woman hurrying round the corner. but that was the last of them. The police have clew which they re- fuse to divulge.
