The Sheridan at GibrnItar

The troop transport Sheridan, which left
New York on the 10Th ultimo with the
18th Infantry and one battalion of the 18th
Infantry destined for Manila arrived at
Gibraltar this morning. Lieut. Col Smith
of the 18th Infantry, who is in command
OF the expedition, reported to the War De-
partment this morning from Gibraltar the
death of Timothy Domain, Company H,
18th Infantry, and the sickness of twenty
eight other soldier, only three of the cases,
however being serious.
1t is said at the War Department that
there is no cause for apprehension on ac-
count of the detention of the transport
Sheridan in quarantine at Gibraltar There
is nothing more serious than measles
aboard the boat and this is of a mild type
that readily yields to treatment. The quar-
artine imposed IS nothing like the Ameri-
can quarantine in severity but is simply
the imposition of certain precautions
against communicating the disease to the
British garrison at Gibraltar. The trans
port Grant. which preceded the Sheridan,
and also the Sherman, We're detained at
Gibraltar for precisely the same reason or
rather the officers and men were prevented
from communicating with the shore freely
while there.

BIOLOGICAL PARK.
report on the Bill to Adjust Its
Boundaries,

The House committee on public buildings
and grounds. to whom was referred the
bill Is. 419D to readjust the boundary of
the National Geological Park and preserve
its seclusion, has made favorable report
thereon, as follows:
There are few small pieces of land
lying between the park and adjacent high
ways which should be acquired, in order
to prevent unsightly structures overlooking
the park, and also to secure a proper
boundary. On the southern boundary of
the park, and lying between the park and
Cincinnati street is an abandoned ceme-
terry, owned by people who can neither use
the same for cemetery purposes nor can
they sell without auth hority of Congress-
THE bill originated with Prof. S. P.
Langley. secretary of the Smithsonian In
stitution, in whose charge the Geological
Park is. The acquiring of these parcels of
land was suggested in the beginning by Mr.
Glmstead, the landscape engineer employed
in connection with the District highways y
The bill limits the cost to $50 900, one
half payable from the District revenues.

Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Dockery opposed the

in Washington should be confined to memo
rials of men who had been distinguished in
the military OF civil branches of the ma
tional government. Mr.. Handy of Della

NO TIME WILL Be LOST
Preparing for The New Department Of JUS
tice Building.
Attorney General Griggs Expresses
His Appreciation of the Work
of The Star.

Attorney General Griggs will soon take
the preliminary steps to the erection of the
new building for the. Department of JUS
tice. He is desirous that as much progress
as possible shall be made, so that the en-
ployes and officials of the department may
get out of the present building.
The first step will be the removal of the
Court of Claims, so that the books and
other heavy material in the library on the
fourth floor can be removed to the quarters
now occupied by the Court of Claims,
thereby iessening the danger of an accident
in the building.
The bill provides s25 900 for rent and the
expenses of moving the court. 1t is under
stood that the members of the court prefer
the old Corcoran Art Gallery building, ana
will attempt to rent that until the new
building is constructed.
1t will be of interest to note that the
bill does not put any portion of the work
of the new building in the hands of the
architects office of the Treasury Depart
ment. The whole matter is directly in the
hands of the Attorney General, VINO VIII
take general supervision Of the work, and
endeavor to put the building up as he would
one of his own. The Attorney General Will
probably confer with Mr.. Taylor, the super
vising architect of the treasury, at the be-
ginning of the work. and will later on Sc
lect ten or twelve of the most prominent
architects in the country and invite them
to submit plans and specifications. Under
the law the Attorney General is authorized
to pay whatever he sees fit to the archi-
tect whose plans are selected, and to also
pay to the designers of the second and
third best plans suitable sums for their
work. The Attorney General proposes to
select only the most distinguished archi-
tects in the country, satisfied that they will
be glad to take part in the work and that
he Will thus secure plans for magnificent
building.
The Attorney General will probably let
the contract for the erection of the build
ing to regular contractors. He will fix a
time limit for the completion of the build
ing and will ho,d the contractors strictly
responsible for finishing the work within
the period named.
want to express my appreciation of
the work of The Star in aiding to secure
the new building" sara the Attorney Gen
eral today. He expressed the belief that if
The Star had not shown the condition of
the present building so fully Congress
would not have given immediate attention
to the matter.

only the Capital Traction, the Metropolitan

sidered An effort is being made today to
