HAVANA PAPERS SUPPRESSED.
Gen. Ludlow Declares the RECON-
ccntrado, Obscene and sianderous.


dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
Gen. Ludlow, military governor of Havana
province has suppressed the scurrilous Gu
ban newspaper, FL Reconcentrado. Follow
ing is the order:
Whereas the publication known as El
Reconcentrado is an obscene sheet, daily
sonalfties against not only the established
authorities of the city, but the best people
of Havana; and
Whereas the continuance of such publi-
cation is a dis grace 10 the city and 10 the
Cuban people and is opposed alike TO pub
lie and private interests and to morality;
therefore,
1T is ordered that the publication be sup
pressed: that its directors and writer's be
arrested, and that its issue be no longer
permitted. The police authorities will take
possession Of the premises and adopt such
means as are neecfui to prevent the pubii-
cation of the nature in question This or
der will be construed as applying not only
to FL Reconcentrado. but to any publics-
ton attempting to issue ISLANDERS and OBJ
scenities regarding public private per-
SONS within the jurisdiction of the depart
ment of Havana.
"In case such should appear, the facts
will be Immediately reported through the
mayor
Merchants and public officials express
themselves as pleased with the action of
the military governor.
A number of copies were half printed
when the police closed the office. In one
part the half-printed copies say that "ow-
ing to circumstances Ell Reconcentrado will
publish under a new management-I.udlow
director irresponsible; Cardenas editor-in-
chief, and Pitcher, editor"

THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
Decision Of the Naval Judge Adyo-
cate General.

cate General.
The Navy Department has rendered a de-
cision constituting the eight-hour law that
VIII be of Importance to all labor interests
as we'll as to government contractors. The
commandant CT the Washington navy yard
recently asked authority from the depart
ment to permit the contractor who is
building the new gun shops in the yard to
employ his workmen ten hours per day.
In support of this application it was stated
that during the progress of the work the
operation of the machinery was TO be
stopped and the floor was being damaged
by exposure to rains.
The judge advocate generals depart
ment has pointed out that the law permits
the employment of workmen on govern
nent works for more than eight hours per
day only in case of extraordinary emer-
gency, and then lays down a new doctrine
in the construction of this law, as follows:
'1naSmuch as the conditions reported are
such as must have been foreSeen when the
contract was made, and are such as neces-
Sarlly exist to a greater less degree
whenever work of the character referred
to is in progress, the department is of the
opinion that the case cannot be regarded
as one of extraordinary emergency. In
cases of this character ii would appear
that if the public property cannot be suffi-
GENTLY protected from damage otherwise,
the proper remedy would be to employ a
force of men in relays, by which means the
work could be expedited much more effec-
tiyely''

WHEAT AND FLOUR.
New Regulations Reported TO Have
Been Adopted by Germany.

Mr.. Jackson, the United States charge at
Berlin, has informed the State Department
that the German federal council, at the
request of the Millers' Association and SIM
liar organizations, has agreed upon new
regulations relative to the import of wheat
and the export of flour into Germany with
the purpose of stimulating the milling in
terests. Hereafter. beginning January /
next, the exporter of flour ground in Ger
many will be entitled to import free of duty
from 100 to 1888 per cent of the quantity
or rye OF from 100 to 100 per cent of the
wheat, in accordance with the quantity of
the meal exported.
Consul Martin. at Chinkiang, reports TO
the State Department that the export of
wheat from the two kiang provinces of
China has been prohibited temporarily
While no reason is given, it is supposed that
the government is animated by a desire TO
keep the grain in the provinces to mitigate
the famine which it is feared Will follow the
floods.

ANACOSTIA AFFAIRS,
Mr.. Dean MistOOk Citizen for an
Escaped Lunatic.

When Adolf BoronitZki Polish man.
about sixty years old, appeared on one of
the roads at Congress Heights last evening
shortly before { o'clock, after taking his
evening swim in Oxon creek, John w. Dean,
a young white man employed as a labOrer
at St. Elizabeth, who was passing in
wagon took him for an escaped inmate of
the asylum and proceeded to act on this
theory by taking charge of Boronitzk
Dean thought the mans dress was an indi-
cation that he was an escaped patient.
Boronitzki was attired in rough clothing
consisting of dark coat, blue overalls, slip
pers and SLOUGH hat, and his general APP
pearance was such as to convince Dean the
man had escaped from ST. Elizabeth. Bor-
onitZH tried TO explain, but his broken
English failed to change his captOrs idea
and after short tuSsle, it is alleged, Boro-
nitZki was forced in the wagon, when sud
denly Dean became aware through the in
formation of others who had gathered that
he had made a mistake. He then offered
the man his freedom, but Boronitzki could
not be induced to leave the wagon, and it
clear he wanted Dean arrested for as
sault. While the matter was being argued
officer Stahl came along and BoronitZki told
him his story in German and demanded the
arrest of Dean. The party then came to
the Anacostia police station in Deans wag-
on and 50 was deposited by Dean as col
lateral for his appearance in the Police
Court this morning Had Boronitzki been
an escaped patient, Dean, being an employe
of the asylum, would have received no re-
ward.
William P. and Nina Vera Hughes of Bald
Eagle Hill, near the District line this morn
ing sent to the Anacostia police station a
report of robbery at their residence Sun
day afternoon last, when there was stolen
therefrom violin, valued they state at
$500, and some articles of gentlemen's cloth
ing and a hat. Entrance was gained to the
house during their absence by the forcing
of a window, The violin Is. 1t is said, of
the Stradivarius pattern, very thin an. dot
ted to represent the original make.
Assistant Foreman McLane of No. 10 fire
engine company, Anacostla, was compelled
to go off duty Monday by Illness which
has since become severe. This morning he
was reported to be improved. Hostler John
Harper of the same company, who has been
i'll. is on duty again.
Mr. and Mrs. William Barry and children
of St. Elizabeth are at Piney Point for sew

The College Alumni String and Glee Clubs
repeated last evening their successful ex-
cursion-concert with an added fortissmo.
A perfect evening and the absence of mos

the stringed instruments, both as to vi
brancy and economy in breakage of catgut.

the friends and admirers of the club, many
In encore of the pleasure attending the pre-

COL. HAWKINS DIED AT SEA.
Transport Senator Reaches Frisco
with 10th Pennsylvania Regiment.


with 10th Pennsylvania Regiment.
The United States transport Senator ar
rived at San Francisco last night from Ma
Mia with her flag at half mast on account
of the death of Col. Alexander Hawkins,
commander of the 10th Pennsylvania Regi-
ment, United States volunteers.
The Senator sailed from Manila July 1
with thirty-eight officers and 720 enlisted
men. The transport was at Nagasaki on
July 10, when Col Hawkins was taken ill
will cancer of the bowels, from which he
had been a sufferer during the greater part
of the campaign in the Philippines, and for
which he had undergone treatment in the
military hospital at Manila. His illness
continued during the following day, July
IT, when the Senator was at Yokohama, and
two days later he passed away at sea.
Col. Hawkins illness dated from the bat
tie of MalOlos, when he exposed himself al
most recklessly in the disease-breeding eli
mate. He was respected and loved by every
man of his command and his death is deep
ly mourned by the troops. His body was
placed in Theoretically sealed casket and
on the Sunday following his death impress
stve funeral services were conducted by the
chaplain of the regiment, all of his men be-
ing in attendance. The remains We're placed
in the stern of the vessel and lay in state,

A FAKIR AT FAIRFIELD
A BREEZY SCORCHER FROM THE
WEST

Benedict P. O., Feb. 81, 1899.
Excitement ran high all over
Fairfield last week, as one OF the
greatest fakes imaginable struck
us. Something walking on two
legs, with a head, and looking
very much like man; and a man
be undoubtedly was, with as hon
est face as ever graced Abra-
ham Lincoln. He was not richly
attlred though fairly we'll dressed,
smoked a cob pipe and greeted
everyone he met with a pleasant
"good morning." This man at
tackled US from the West, and
brought with him several victims
who said that he had bought sew
eral hundred acres of land in
their vicinity, and wanted a saw
mill, as he was buying land for
several friends for farming pur-
poses. lie struck the saw mill
man, Mr.. Bobbitt, and within an
hour be had gotten his dinner and
bought out Mr.. Bobbitt's mill,
house, land, mules, horses, cows,
wagons, hogs, and some say the
chickens. He stated in a very
unassuming way that he had
$50, in hard cash and he be-
lieved he would invest 1T here as
he liked the country very much.
This spread like telegraphlc
news, and in an exceedingly
short time the whole of Fairfield
was in an uproar; expressions of
gratitude could be heard from
almost every man, woman and
child in the place, everybody was
in the highest of spirits and
everybody wanted to sell him
something, and everybody that
oIN INV IioNC W SCiI
wanted to work for him. He
bought everything that was for
sale and hired every man who
came to him. He actually took
possession Of the mill and put
men to work, and, if you believe
me, things moved in a breeze.
He set a day to make complete
settlement for all he had bought,
and things went on finely. On
the third day before he was to
settle he had urgent business at
Gainesville, had his assistant
foreman to make out a list Of
such things as he needed at the
mill, agreed to attend to several
errandS for his boarding man,
borrowed some money, boa rded
the train, and that man, II. G..
DicaSS, has not Deen seen il
/ fairfield since.
