SOLDIERS ABUSE CITIZENS
Three Gases Last Week of Such 0utrages in
Havana.
Severe Comment of Natives - awk-
ward Mistakes Growing Out of
Ignorance of Language.

HAVANA, January 30.-There were three
cases last week of the abuse of citizens
upon the part of American soldiers. Upon
two occasions soldiers took eatables from
street vendors, refused to pay for them,
and struck the vendors and citizens who
took their part. Upon one occasion two
drunken soldiers insisted upon penetrating
into private house insulted the women Of
the household, and only desisted upon the
appearance of a patrol.
The local comment upon these incidents
is severe.
Mistakes owing to the ignorance of Amer
leans with the language, and also owing to
the fact that very many of the Spaniards
and Cubans here do not speak English, oc-
cur frequently.
Last week a patrol stopped the dancing
in private house, suppusing it to be a
public hall, and insisting. wrongly, that
all dancing must stop at midnight. The
explanations were not comprehended by the
patrol, but the dancers realized that it was
mistake, and there was no i'll feeling

BODY OF RICH GOLD ORE
Unprecedented Strike in the Isabella Mine
at Cripple Creek
Specimens Found Which Would Run
$5OO,OOO to the TOn-WhOIe
Vein Very Rich.

DENVER, Col. January 30.-A special to
the News from Cripple Creek, Col, says of
the recent strike in Isabella ground:
Your correspondent saw chunks of syl-
vanite that were three inches thick and
solid metal, and chunks of the oxdized ore
of the same width that he whitfield with his
pocket knife. No assays have been made
on the rock; it is not necessary, but pieces
of the free gold ore, if ore it can be called
al all, run over $500000 per ton. The Mollie
Gibson never produced any ore that carried
more ounces in silver per ton than this Isa-
bella ore does in gold With every hours
work the streak is lengthening and widen
ing.
Joining this metallic body there is six
feet of quartz that will run from 81 600 to
81 600 per ton.
Manager Kilburn said to your correspond
cnt: Il do not like to say anything that will
at present. The metallic ore body has
doubled in size both ways since yesterday
morning. Some of the pieces of ore are so
per cent gold. [ never saw such mineral,
mined in this or any other camp in the
world. We have had no assays taken on
the rock. but a ton OF # could be picked
out that would run anywhere from $50, 900
to $2tp,0OO per ton.
Armed guards are watching the prop
er;y. The strike was made in the new ore
body at a depth of 500 feet below the sur
face. The chute has been cut at the sew
enth level, 100 feet above, and also at the
NTH. A. the latter place an assay was OBJ

A SORELY STRICKEN FAMILY.
Secretary AIger's Son Fred Breaks
His Leg.

Secretary Alger went to Boston hastily
last night to look after his son Fred, a
student in Harvard University, who broke
his leg there yesterday This last accident
has served to call attention to the rather
unusual series of mishaps from which the
Secretary has suffered in his family circ e
during the past year. First he himself fell
from scaffoiding while inspecting a new
building and was SO severely shocked as
to precipitate the long and dangerous at
tack of lever from which he suffered. Then
his son Fred enlisted for the war, fell from
his horse at Santiago and injured his knee
SO badly that permanent lameneSs was
feared. Then this same son fell Ill with
the Santiago fever and spent months in
recuperating. Meanwhile the other SON.
Russell, was thrown from a toboggan in
Canada and nearly killed. just as he re-
covered his house Was burnt down de-
stroying a large number of valuables. Then,
very recently, the Secretary's daughter
Mrs. Pike, was stricken with appendicitis
and Is not yet recovered from the heroic
operation that was necessary to save her
life
So with this last accident sustained by
Fred Alger the Secretary appears to have
sustained more than his share of domestic

energies and strength were required TO

PAY FOR OVERTIME,
Joint Resolution to EauaIize Treat
ment OF NnNy Nnrd Emnlaxes

Ihe House committee on naval affairs has
favorably reported the joint resolution III.
Hes. 300 entitled Joint resolution author
tzing the Secretary of the Navy to pay
certain laborers, workmen and mechanics
at United States navy yards and naval
stations 80 per centum additional for work
performed in excess of eight hours per
diem"
The report, which was presented by Mr..
RiXey, says:
The committee is informed that private
firms allow one and a half pay for over
time, and that under the old regu.a tons a
portion of the men in the navy yards re-
celVed this extra pay, while other shifts
performing exactly the same work and
employed the same number of hours, only
received straight pay for such overtime
This injustice has been provided against
for the future by order of the Secretary of
the Navy OF December =, 1898, in which it
Is provided: For work performed, by rea-
son of extraordinary emergencies, in excess
of eight hours per day, the ordinary rate
OF pay. with 80 per cent additional shall
be allowed
The committee is of opinion there is no
sound reason for the discrimina ton which
existed between March Is 1SgS, and Oc-
tober 81, lS9S. and they therefore report the
resolution with 4 favorable recommended

THE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS.
An Announcement by the Presiden MT
Expecfed I'm N Few Days.

The trend of gossip today in circles usual
ly well informed is that the next Librarian
of Congress will be either Mr.. Thomas G.
Aivord or Representative Barrows Of Mas
sachusetts. and that the President will an
nounce his choice WITHIN Very few days.
The friends of Mr.. Alvord feel that he
will be selected basing their opinion upon
the fact that Mr. Alvord was the chief
reliance of the late librarian, John Russell
Young ever since he took the position, and
that their views upon the subject of the
future of the library and the broadening OF
its scope in the direction Of rendering prac-
teal benefits in an educational and enight-
ening way to the greatest number we're alb
selutely harmonious. Mr.. AIvord they as
sert, also displayed great executive ability
IN the management OF the library, which
largely devolVed upon him, and this char
acteristic, they claim, will be an important
consideration in shaping the Hnal decision
of the President.
The friends of the other candidates do not.
however. believe that a decision in the mat
ter has been reached, and are pressing the
claims of their favOrtes. Those who have
been mentioned for the position include
George Alfred Townsend. the Journalist,
whose writings over the pen name Gath
are so well known Henry p. f. Macfar-
land, the eminent Washington correspond
ent and Col Dewitt c. Sprague, whose
graceful work in prose and verse has been
widely recognized. The name of Mr. Murat
Halstead, the journalist, has been with
drawn
