REGULATIONS OF INSURANCE.
injections Urged Against the Senate

Mr. William Birney, as attorney for GER
tam lire insurance policy holders, has writ
ten to members of the House District COM
mittee, urging objections to Senate bill No.
fo-o, TO regulate insurance in the District
OF Columbia. He says, in part:
"A bill on this subject has been needed
Tor several years. Legislation of the kind
has been repeatedly urged upon Congress
by the District Commissioners The pres-
ent bill is a general one; it repeals all pre-
Vlous laws inconsistent with its provisions;
and it is important to free it from defects
and amend it into form for permanent reg
uiatlon OF the conditions of admission of in
Sufance companies to transact business
within the District.

PARIS, January I'm Quesnay de
Beaurepaire, the former president of the
civil section of the court of cessation fol-
lows up his attacks on the criminal sec
ton of the court of cessation today i'm an
article published by the Echo de Paris, In
which he insinuates that Judge Loew, pres
ident of the court, went out of his way to
appoint M. Bard reporter of the Dreyfus
affair, because he was sure of his partial
fty, and that he also appointed Drsyfusard
magistrates fer other branches of the in
quiry. Moreover, NJ. de Beaurepaire SAYS
the rehabilitation OF Col. Picquart by Judge
Loew is tantamoCnt to an uncalled-for
declaration of the innocencs of Dreyfus.
Furthermore, NJ. de Beaurepaire alleges
that Judge Loew displayed hostility and
aversion to the generals when the latter
were testifying and expressed approval of
the attacks on the general staff, in the tes-
timony of an eX-officer who was cashiared
for inten perance The assertion is also
made that Judge Loew in examining the

At the War Department..

General Wood will probably have a long
official conference with the President today.
After leaving the White House General
Wood went to the War Department where
he was given "a hearty reception by the Off
Gals and brother officers, who had thus
their first opportunity to congratulate him
upon the promotions he has received since
he has left Washington.
General Wood repeated the statements al
ready made by him in some published in
tervieWs to the effect that the situation in
Santiago was thoroughly satisfactory at
present, and that no trouble was to be ap-
pretended there in the future. He took
occasion to declare very earnestly to be
without foundation the stories that have
reached here of friction between himself
and Major General Brooke, the military
commandant of the island On the con-
trary, he said that the relations between
himself and General Brooke were of the
most pleasant character, and as far as he
knew there had been no. differences be-
tween them.
The War Department has been delaying
final action upon the various financial prob
lens connected with the customs service
at Santiago and at other Cuban ports, until
General Woods arrival, regarding him as
well qualified by his prolonged stay in
charge of affairs in Santiago province to
afford sound advice for its government
General Wood will be in Washington
about three days. He will then leave here
for Havana, from which city he will return
to Santiago. His object in going to Havana
is to have a conference with General
Brooke.
1t is the general understanding among ad-
ministration officials that before Gen. Wood
leaves here a system for the distribution of
money collected in Cuba will be arranged
SO that there will be no further cause for
friction on the island.
Progress of the Cubans.
Gen. Wood said today that he had never
received any orders to send all the money
collected by him to Havana. There had
been no excitement in Santiago over the
alleged orders, and the people there are
living happily and contentedly.
The people of Santiago province are now
ready for civil government" was the i'm
portant statement made to a representative
OF The Star by Gen. Wood. 'They have
made wonderful progress. and are self-sus-
tanning aud self-supporting. Contagious
diseases have been wiped out and the pro
vince is in healthy condition.

AN ARMY OFFICER COMPLAINS.
No Provision to Reward War Depart-
ment Chiefs.

A prominent army officer said today that
1t seemed that the navy had better friends
In Congress than the army. In explanation
of his remark he referred to the bills in
trocuoed by Senator Hale of Maine and
Representative Hilborn, providing that the
chlefs OF all the naval bureaus, when placed
on the retired list. shall have the full paw
OF their present eX officio rank The bill
in each case specifies that the action is
taken because of meritorious services in
the Spanish war.
Now, said the army man, mo one has
yet proposed any such reward for the
chiefs OF the army bureaus. l do not say
the naval chiefs are not entitled to recoenf-
ton for their extra services during the war.
but do say that they are not a whit more
entitled TO it than the army bureau chiefs.
who worked every bit as hard and rendered
equally meritorious services during the
war The only thing l object to is the un-
Just discrimination in favor of one branch
against another"
