One Drawback Noted.

One Drawback Noted.
"a drawback to Alexandria in the past
has been her streets. We have suffered in
this respect by a comparison with Washing
ton, with the finest streets in the world.
If the people would compare our thorough
fares to many of those in Baltimore, and
like cities, the difference would not be so
great. But all of our visitors come d.
rectly from or through Washington, and
this is the first city they reach after leav-
The comparison is manifestly unfair. We
are at work, however, on the streets and
as rapidly, as possible intend to transform
them into thoroughly satisfactory avenues
for business and pleasure travel. The
construction of sewers is another matter
at present in progress. Alexandria Is to
be modernized."

Washington. March 3.-Baron Far
rer Herschell, one of the commission
ers from Great Britain on the joint
commission in session here to adjust
differences between the United States
and Canada, died quite suddenly at
7:O5 o'clock yesterday morning at the
Shoreham hotel. where he had been
confined to his bed for several weeks
with n broken bone. caused by fall
on slippery sidewalk
Lord Herschelrs death came without
warning. Except for the pain incl
dental 10 the fracture of his leg, which
occurred Jan. Is, he had been in eX-
cellent health aud spirits, and up to
almost the last hour of his death there
were no prenonitory symptoms of the
coming end. He had received visitors
every day and had enjoyed seeing
his friends and talking with them. He
had been greatly pleased with the
flowers sent him from time TO time by
friends. At the time of the accident
trained nurse was procured from
Baltimore, and on account Of the
dead mans helplessneSs. had been
with him almost constantly, especial
ly ut night, when she never left the
room. At about ) o'clock yesterday
morning his lordship awakened and
called to the nurse. who found him
breathing heavily. After receiving at
tcntion he felt better and went back
to sleep. 4 little after 6 he again
called the nurse and said he felt i'll
and complained of great pain I'm the
chest below the heart. DR.. w. john
son was hastily summoned, and after
hasty examination he dispatched a
messenger after DR.. Maddox, who
joined him in a few minutes. The
patient, however did not respond to
the treatment. and ut 20 his lordship
breathed his last
In answer to inquiries the physl-
clans said they were unable To give
the exact cause of death, but the
symptoms, it was thought, indicated
that it was angina pectoris.

exception of his son Richard. at Ok

been cabled the sad news, but no re-
Spouse has been received. 1t is as
sumed that the body will be sent to

UNEARTHED BY GOMEZ.
He Finds That the List Of Cuban Of
Gccrs Has Been Padded.

Havana, March 5.-In making up the
roster Of the Cuban army Gen. Gomez
has discovered that many holding the
rank OF officers never served in any
military capacity and that the pro-
visional government during the war
issued commissions by the hundreds
70 persons whose work was solely Of
a civil character. At least 800 OF the
officers now claiming pay never served
during the war. He has also discov-
cred that since July the divisional
commanders have made promotions
by the wholesale, almost every officer
having been advance in grade since
the end Of the war. Gen. Gomez will
subject the list TO n severe scrutiny
and wedding out. with the result that
the number i'm the army will be great
ly reduced.

and money reported to amount to 500

men who had secreted themselves in
the stamp department, as it was pos

who is charged with looking after the

never closed. Through it thieves could
enter and secret themselves behind
mail sacks and see the stamp clerk put
away his stamps and cash when he

General in tho Volunteer Ser
vice.

Washington. d. c.. March 9.-The
President has practically made up the
list of the general officers to be le-
tanned in the volunteer branch nf the
service. The basis of all the ,:alcu!a-
tons is an army of $4,000 men. for the
President has so far insisted that he
will not call for volunteers in addition
to that number unless an emergency
should arise. The reorganization act
limits the number of Major Generals to
be appointed to one for each 1900 men
and Brigadier Generals to be appointed
to one for every 1000 men in actual ser
vice. On this basis. as there are already
three major generals in the army in
the persons of General Miles, General
Brooke and General Merritt, there is
room for but two more.
To fiji these two places the President
has selected General Shafter and Cen
cral Otis. now in command at Manila.
II is safe to say that the lis. OF briga-
diers To be appointed viii include the
following names: General Wood 1T san
tiago; General Wilson at Matanzas.
General Lee in the Province of Havana
General Davis, now on duty with tn
Court Of Inquiry into the beef supplies:
General Ludlow. in command of Hn-
vana city, General Lnwton, nearing
Manila: General Macarthur, ut Manila
General Chaffee. and General Frank.
