A MENACE TO HEALTH.
The Old Presbyterian Graveyard in
Georgetown.

The old Presbyterian graveyard at the
corner of Thirty-fourth and o Streets
which has been menace to the pubic
health of Georgetown for several years
past still remains in a deplorable condi-
ton Notwithstanding the earnest protests
of the citizens. Attention has been called
repeatedly to this small but exceeding
dangerous piece of ground. but as yet the
Health Department has taken no effec-
tive step toward abating the nuisance.
In the summer time the place is over
grown by the weeds common to this SEC
ton. The trustees of the cemetery make
no pretence of keeping it in proper condi.'
tion and as result ii greatly mars the
appearance of the section of the town in
which it is located. In the fell, winter
and spring after the weeds have dscayed
and are soaked by the frequent rains they
form a mass of rot and filth which cannot
be else than dangerous.
The cemetery was used for 4 period OF
more than fifty years, but was finally
abandoned several years ago. Many of the
old tombstones still standing bear the
date of 1880. During the cholera plague
of 1882 and 1883 a large number of the
victims were inferred there and covered
with only thin layer of earth. Today
the bones of some of the victims can be
seen above the ground.
physicians Oh Georgetown nave 1of some
time recommended that the remains buried
there be taken up and placed elsewhere
and the growth of weeds and plants re-
moved.
A number of the members of the Citi-
Zens Association have expressed them
selves in no uncertain terms about the con-
dition of the graveyard, and say that at
the next meeting of the association they
will introduce resolution condemning the
plague spot and urging the authorities to
take immediate action.
The proposition has been often advanced
by many of the leading citizens that the
ground at present occupied by the grave
yard ought to be purchased by the Govern
ment and converted into public park. 1t
has been suggested that the entire square
be bought and made public park. George
town at present has no public reservation
of any sort

Mckinley, with request that it be
forwarded to the house of represent
atives In the course of an interview
with correspondent of the Assoclat-
ed Press, be said:
Congress, if it occupies the first
day of session in passing resolution
declaring in unmistakabIe terms that
the sovereignty of the United States
is to be maintained in the Philippines,
thus dlspelliug Aguinaido's delusion
that the anti imperiallsts can assist
him, will be performing sacred duty
Such a resolution would save the
lives of manv American soldiers and
thousands Of deluded Tilipinos, would
avert famine, suffering and desols,
ton from these islands and would
render unnecessary the expenditure
of hundreds cf millions of dollars ,"
The people OF Gotta Bato. on the
southwestern coast of the island of
Mindanao desire the establishment of
American government there and have
addressed a petition to Gen Otis
asking him to send troops.
In relating how they had appealed
to the Dato to protect them against
the attempts of Aguinaido's officials
to collect excessive taxes, they say in
the petition that the Dato, "having
compassion for our suffering and in
the interest Of peace publicly be-
headed half dozen of these officials.
