WHIPPED FOR INSULTING A WOMAN.
Travelling Man Publicly Thrashed in
u North Carolina Town.

J. F. Woodward was horsewhipped in the
depot at Washington, N. c., yesterday
morning. He had been buying and solicit
ing shipments of potatoes to G. NJ Snyder
& Co. of New York city.
The day previous a young lady of Wash
ington was passing down the street when
she was overtaken by Woodward, who
made repeated improper proposals to her.
On the young lady arriving at home she
reported the facts to her family.
On Its being learned that Woodward
would leave on the train, party of gentle
men repaired to the depot armed with a
couple of whips, and proceeded to adminis-
ter the horsewhipping, after which he was
ordered to board the train and never re-
turn.

FEEDING THE IMMIGRANTS.
Bidders for the Contract Submit Their
Proposals.

PROPOSALS.
The privilege of feeding the thousands
of immigrants who are detained at the
barge office in New York is a question
which has been under consideration at the
Treasury Department, Assistant Secretary
Taylor being the official who will have
to decide between the various bidders
The contest for the privilege has narrowed
down to two bidders. These are Emil
Schwab and Livingston & Tolley. Accord
ing to the regulations of the Treasury De-
partment all immigrants legally or other
wise detained at the barge office must be
fed a the expense of the steamship COM
panies which bring them over. There are
often as many as 1000 persons a day thus
to be cared for. The government is also
particular about the way the immigrants
are fed They must be given three square
meals a day, and the kind, quality and
quantity of food are prescribed by a ply
stefan of the marine hospital service. The
food must be wholesome and abundant.
Heretofore the government has made a
considerable sum for the privilege, but this
year decided that hereafter the question of
the amount to BE- offered it should cut no
essential figure tie point being the lowest
reasonable sum for feeding the Immigrants.
The contract is for three years.
Emil Schwab offers to pay the govern
ment 5000 for the privilege and give the i'm
migrants each three meals a day at 70 cents
a day. Livingston & Tolley offer 5000 for
the privilege and will charge each % cents
a day for meals.
AS a side issue is the running of restau-
rants, at which the public or immigrants
may purchase lunches with their own
money. The price list of Livingston & Toll
ley is a few cents lower as a whole than
Schwab, but this will not cut much of
figure, it is said. the immigrants patron
iZe the restaurants very little.
Schwab has been the contractor for three
years, and. it is claimed, has given general
satisfaction to immigration and steamship
officials. He also has the Endorsement of
the missionaries who work among the inn
migrants.
The matter will be settled Saturday.

milton for the successful. operations of the
brigade. / happened in the immediate vicin-
ity of the 14th Infantry and cheerfuily bear
testimony to the galiantry and efficiency
of it's officers and men. which applies also
to the 18th Cavalry on the left and the
North Dakota Volunteers on the right. Ny
party was on the firing line during the en-
gagement, and it is a pleasure to report the
GOODNESS of Lieut.. Sladen under fire.
My desire to go to Gen. Ovenshine's bri-
gade was prompted by my knowledge of
your orders to the division commander and
your general plan of operations for the en-
tire force south of the Pasig river, and the
Importance of and the necessity for the
dislodgment of the Filipino force in the
jungle, and the thought that such know
edge might be the means OF avoiding pos
sible misunderstanding. 1t may be of in
terest to add that the treatment of the
wounded Fiipinos by our men of the firing
line and hospital corps in aiding and cheer
ing them by words and deeds of kindness
and sympathy, was most beautiful and
touching, though it is believed that convic-
ton was there that similar treatment would
not be accorded them under reverse condi-
tons. The enemys wounded received every
care and attention from the hospital corps
after our own wounded had been cared for.
Such characteristics go hand in hand
with those of courage, feariessness and de-
votion to the flag and country which but
a short time before our men had so thor
oughly displayed"
Major Whites Report.
A report made by Maj. Frank Whit,
comma nding the LIST Battalion of the list
North Dakota Volunteers, in regard to the
operations of that battalion in the engage
rnents OF the 4th and 5th of February last
around Manila. was made public at the
War Department today. In concluding his
rspOrt Maj. White says that the officers

every duty they were called upon to per-
form in a very satisfactory manner.
Il desire" he says, Ito especially mention
the eager and spirited manner in which the
officers anc men made the charge on the
pits in our front on the morning of the 9TH.

vice and encouraging example OF Lieut..

How 1t Works,
To the Editor of The Evening Star

To the Editor or Inc Evening Star:
In Its editorial of yesterday The Star
quotes the following language of Mr.. Book
err T. Washington anent iynching:
with all the earnestness of my heart /
want to appeal, not to the President of the
United States, Mr.. Mckinley not to the
people of New York, nor of New England,
but to the citizens of our southern states,
to assist in Creating such a public senti-
ment as will make human life here just as
safe and sacred as it is anywhere else in
the world" '' III
And adds the only thing that remains to be
done is to arouse them 0he prominent men
Of the south, l presume} to a sense of the
danger, etc.
How the prominent men of the south are
being aroused Is shown on page of the
same issue of The Star, viz:

them by reason of the blockade increased
insurance premiums, double freights in
creased expenditure for the suspension of
business well as losses of interest. The
report continues:
THE compensation for the mere indirect
damage will be, according to the ruling
principles of international law, a matter of
the greatest difficulties: yet it is evident
that the Germans will have to be consider
ed, at least|o the same extent as the SUBJ
jects of other neutral nations. and
pensated for such losses.
LAS regards the losses caused directly by
the war the subjects Gf neutral states liV-
ing within the boundary of a state engaged
in war have no claim to privileged treat
ment through the belligerent parties; they
are considered to belong to the population
of the country and to share their fate
Claims for compensation may therefore, as
far as the war in the Philippines is con-
cerned, be settled only by way of arbitra-
ton or agreement. Thus according to in
ternational law. foreign states are not lia-
bic for losses Incurred by domestic troubles
if a responsibility of the respective foreign
government cannot be conclusively made
out on account that it had been unable to
prevent the damage. On the other hand
there IS no doubt that full compensat ton
must be granted for all such cases where
Spanish or American authorities and troops
have seized the property of neutrals for
their own use or where these authorities
and troops have Illegally caused losses.
LAS regards the compensation for the
damage done to Germans in Samoa. state
of war existed, contrary to the clear pro-
vision of the Samoan act, between the
Anglo-American troops and the majority of
the Inhabitants of Samoa, during which
these troops have violated custom rec
ognized by international law by not notify
ing the Germans on March Is of the i'm
pending bombardment of Apia- There a
sense of fairness certainly ought to demand
compensation TO the Germans for losses &C.
castoned by England and America"
The author comes finally to the conclu-
sion that government must assert only such
claims as are we'll founded and for which
the obligation for compensation is clearly
established by International law.

says in part:
As Capt. Murphy, commanding his COM

ana As X was necessary to drive them from
their position before proceeding to Pasay

waded in water and mud waistdeep, with
out apparent break in the continuity of the
line. or undue shortening or frightening of

Charleston Under Water,

Charleston, w. Va, March 5.-The
Kanawha Valley was visited today by
one of the worst floods in local history
After several days of heavy rainfall,
the Kanawha and Elk rivers rose in an
unprecedentedly short time, and have
covered almost the entire valley.
Charleston is almost entirely under
water. Four feet surrounds the State
Capitol The Mayor and leading citi-
2ens have opened a relief station, and
are distributing provisions and cloth
ing among the suffering.
Considerable damage has been caus-
ed to the coal property along the Ka-
nawha river. The Winifrede coal tip
pie, dry docks and a dozen barges were
swept away about ten miles above
Charleston. The Black Cat coal tipple
near Least bank, was destroyed. To-
night the water works, both gas plants
and electric light works are shut down
and the city is in darkness. Hundreds
OF families are quartered in the City
Building, Capitol, Court House and
other buildings.
Much distress prevails. A consider
able distance of the X. & M. road be-
tween here and 1T. Pleasant is under
water, and it will be four or five days
before traffic is resumed. The indica-
tions. however, are that tonight the
flood has reached its height and will
commence to fall this morning. This is
probably the worst food since 1861,
when stage of over 46 feet was reach
ed. The present stage now is about
four feet less.

House Heating in Spain,

There are no tlowery beds of ease for
| those who seek this land of chivalry
after the middle of November. Amer
leans, habituated to warm houses, are
bound to suffer keenly. In Madrid it is
damp and cold, and the Spaniard who
5 used to it draws his cloak about
Is shoulders and endures patiently.
No pretense is made of heating houses,
hotels or places of public resort. The
miserable cavernous chimneys they
sometimes put into tne.r houses will
not draw, and if they did the fire, sit
uated in an immense marble recess,
would not heat. You protest and they
savagely advise you that the climate is
treacherous and that to sit before a fire
and then go out is to invite pneumonia
and other things, and that it is much
more sensible to wait for warm wealth
er with tranquility OF mind if not body.
The women slip fieece-lined shoes over
their ordinary boots and try to COM
pose themselves, but they never look
entirely happy. In the old Audiencia,
at Saragossa, the palace of the one
| time great Countess Luna there stands
in the vulnerabl court room, amid 9th
er evidences of magnificent decay, a
rusty baseburner, with a legend around
its rim signifying that it was made in
Pittsburg, and although it was fireless
and minus one leg, to me it was the
most comfortable and homelike object
that | have seen in Spain. In Adalusia
1t is not quite so bad, for the sun is ac-
lively at work during the day, al
,Lough it retires early. The nights
are always raw. Strangers sometimes
succeed in having fires, but the we'll
regulated spanish family is satisfied
with charcoal brazier. The charcoal
Is burned outside until the Goals are
reduced to dull glow and most OF the
gas has disappeared Theu the brazier
Is taken into the marble patio, where
ualmS and orange treas mock you
with the notion that you are in a land
OF perpetual summer, and you can
warm yourself with Imagination and
Dad smell.
