Havana, Aug. 19.-In spite OF the fact
that Col. Bacallo. chief of the secret
police, persisted i'm his declaration that
Gen. Jiminez, the aspirant To the presi-
dency Of Santo Domingo, was in Ha-

Former Proprietor of Windsor Hote
Passes AWay I'm New York


Warren F. Leland, proprietor of the
Windsor Hotel, which was destroyed by
fire on March II, died at 5:54 o'clock yester-
day afternoon at the Hotel Grenoble Mr.
Lelands death followed an operation for
appendicitis, performed on Friday last.
Mr.. Leland had apparently been in good
health up to Thursday last, notwithstand-
ing the amount of work he had to do in
connection with the burning of his hotel
and the grief he felt at the loss of his wife
and daughter, who were among the victims
of the fire. On that day he, in conjunction
with Rev. D. Parker Morgan pastor of the
Church of the Heavenly Rest had COM
pleted arrangements for the memorial SER
vices. Toward evening he began to COM
plain, and as his illness was evidently seri-
Gus, consultation of physicians was held
and on Friday 1t was deemed advisable to
perform an operation.
After the operation the patients condl-
tion was satisfactory, but he had q relapse
on the following day and second relapse
yesterday. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon
he began to sink rapidly. and he died with
in two hours At the bedside when the end
came were Mr.. Lelands son, Charles Lee
land of Chicago, his physician and nurses.
Mr. Leland's son, Ralph and his daugh-
ter Fannie, who had been summoned from
Chicago, were unable to reach their father $

dat there was foundation for the com-

that there was foundation for the COM
plant.
During the day the board sent a reply to
Gen. Miles, saying 1t would take the matter
of his proposition to supply more witnesses
under consideration, but intimating that
the board did not require further testimony
relating to the canned roast beef.
Gen. Miles Appeal.
General Miles has sent another letter in
answer to this in which he calls attention
to the letter he wrote early in the proceed
ings of the board, saying that the inquiry
was not only of great Importance, iuvolv-
ing the health and life of the army, but
that the honor of the service was at stake
He adds that 20, 600 men and no doubt many
more could give evidence substantiating the
assertion that the meat was unfit to eat
and he expressed the hope that out of this
number 131 whose names he had submitted
would be allowed to testify. Gen. Miles
suggested that men who had evidence to
give might answer set of interrogatories
prepared by the board, If il was found inn
practicable to hear them orally.
Following is the text of General Miles
proposition for supplying new witnesses:
Il have the honor to inclose a list of
witnesses, all of whom will give material
and pertinent testimony in the matter now
being inquired into, and to the end that
the whole truth may be arrived at. / re-
spectfully but urgently request that these
witnesses be called and examined in the
order in which their names appear, or, if it
is found impossible to secure their presence,
that their testimony be obtained by other
usual methods. As far as it can be now
determined, in view of the facts that have
already been presented and will soon be
presented, 1t is not thought that any addi-
uonal testimony will be required. reserve,
however, the privilege of adding to the
above mentioned list such other witnesses
as may be necessary hereafter in case of
new developments.
(Signed) NELSON A. MILES"

the acceptance of the reports of the officers
as testimony, but the suggestion was made

GRADE CROSSINGS A THEME
Discussion Last Night by the East Wash
ington Citizens Association.
Hope Expressed That Projected I'M
provements VIII BE Made at
an Early Date.

The last meeting of the East Washington
Citizens Association prior to the regular
summer recess was held last night at
Baum's Hall. Under the call of committees
President Smith read a report of the last
meeting of the executive committee, set
ting forth the regular business of the next
81 sSion.
Mr.. o. q. Hallam called attention to the
article in The Star concerning the improve
rents proposed by the Pennsylvania rail-
road. and asked if any member of the asso-
ciation could enlighten the meeting by a
further statement of just what was being
done.
Mr. NJ l. Weller replied that it his
understanding the railroad was now ready
to push the improvements proposed from
time TO time. and which had been practi-
cally agreed upon by the Commissioners
and the railroad company last year. 1t was
his belief the Stringency Of the money mar
ktf prevented the work being done last
year. Now conditions had changed: money
was easy. and he had no doubt the next
Congress would witness the fulhllment of
the dearest dream of all Washington in the
abOlishmcnt of grade crossings
Mr.. Haiiam asked if Mr.. Weller had di-
rect knowledge of what he said. Had The
Star. upon its own responsibility told Its
readers of these improvements he would
unhesitatingly accept it.
Refers to HumOrs.
Secretary Sperry spoke of the current ru-
nors of improvements by the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. He had heard in va
riOus quarters that the railroad company
was buying property in square 6Sl and, the
square just north of it. That the railroad
was contemplating improvements he be-
leye,i to be true. since il had come to his
knowledge that II was buying property in
those squares. But he had 10 knowledge
beyond that. and what it proposed to do OF
when to do il he did not know.
Mr.. Weller called the attention of the as
EociatOn to the fact that the board of ap
peals and equalization of assessments was
in session. and those who owned property
and desired 10 appeal from unequal assess
ments should attend to it at once.
While rot member of the committee OF
parks ard spaces, Mr. Weller said he ha(

After two hours discussion the resolu-

terms:
Definite and final disbanding of the Cuban
army is ordered. Chiefs of brigades or reg

Assembly shows Judgment.

THE people of Cuba have shown in this
Incident of the assembly with respect to
the payment from the United States rare
judgment and such qualities of prudence
and patriotism that the friends of Cuba
must not judge the capacity of the Cuban
people for self government from this small
group of men who make up the assembly,
but who now have corrected their error.
Guided by the United States, the Cuban
people will be able to establish such gov
ernrnent, owing to its close relations with
the United States, as will be stable and
progressive and modelled after the fashion
of this great republic here"
Mr. Quesada said the actual number of
Cuban troops was about 30, 600.
The vote, 81 to !, shows the lack of
Quorum, on the basis of the original organ
ization of forty-eight members, but the
apparent significance OF this is weakened
by the fact that numerous members of
the assembly left 1t without ceremony on
account of it's attitude
