Mr. Martin in the Senate today gave no.
uce of an amendment he will propose to

COST OF EXTENSION.
Report of Com issiOners on Sever
teenth Street Bill.

teenth Street Bill.
The following report on Senate bill 5443,
for the extension of 18th street, was made
today by the District Commissioners to
Senator Mcmillan, chairman of the Senate
District committee:
The bill proposes to extend this street
in straight line from Florida avenue to
Park street. A plat is sent herewith, show
ing the location of the street as named in
the bill, and also the location recommended
by the Commissioners, which is in accord
al ce with their previous recommendations
in connection with the highway extension
plans for the first section.
1.-THE extension named in the bill will pass
close to existing streets in Meridian Hill
and Ingleside, and, besides costing more for
the land taken, will leave narrow strips
between the proposed extension and exist
ing streets of insufficient depth for build
ing purposes.
THE route recommended by the Commits
sioners would connect 18th street with Cen
trail avenue, and widen Central avenue
wholly upon the east side, extending said
street in direct line from Ingieside to
Columbia road. This line will be much
cheaper, both for the purpose of acquiring.
the land and for opening the street. as a
large portion of the route is already in
the possession of the District, and a con-
siderable part of it already brought to APP
proximate grade. To follow the line
named in the bill would require the pur-
chase Oh ldIu LOT TIE Iull width OF the
street for the entire distance.
1.-THE estimated cost of the extension on
the route recommended by the Commission
ers, including the land, grading. macadam-
iZing and improvements, is S192, $50
1T is believed that if the street is to bf,
opened the expense should he borne equal
ly by the United States and the District of
Columbia, in accordance with the provis-
ions of the act approved June H. 1878, pro-
viding for permanent form of government
for the District of Columbia; and If this
bill is to receive favorable consideration
they recommend that it be amended ac-
cordingly."

Bonds Mature in Ten Years.

The bonds to be issued will mature in ten
or twenty years, at the option Of the Cuban
government, which may rid itself entirely
of American interference by paying this
debt.
This plan means an American protector
ate over Cuba for at least ten years by
which time the island will have demon
strated its ability to govern itself or will be
more than willing to attach itself perma-
nently TO the United States. The first great
benefit of this scheme will be the protection
to foreign capital, which will pour into the
island in great volume for investment.
That President Mckinley plans the early
withdrawal of all the American troops from
Cuba became known here today. 1t was
welcome news, particularly to regulars, who
had supposed that they would remain in
the island several years.
Colonel Pearson of the 10th Regiment
told me last night that he had the best of
authority for the assertion that only small
garrisons would remain in Cuba unless the
unforeseen should happen.
