WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent


WASHINGTON. D. c., June IS, go.
Philippines affair were once
more the principal topic of con-
yersation in Washington this
week, owing to the renewal of
heavy fighting. Much surprise
was expressed that this fight
should have taken place so near
Manila, indicating that the Fiji
pinos had regalned almost all the
ground that Gen Otis had taken
from them. According to War
Department officials, there is
nothing alarming in the situation,
and no orders, in addition to those
previously issued to hurry regu-
lars to Gen. Otis, are contemp-
lated. AS proof of the correct
ness of this statement they point
to the departure of the president
and party on their New England
trip, in accordance with the orlgi-
nal programme. They say that
the president would not leaye
Washington, to be away ten days,
uuless affairs were satisfactory
in the Philippines. That seems
logical enough, but logic isn't
powerful enough all the time to
quiet the busy tongue of rumor,
and it hasn't been in this case.
Mr.. Henry Hayemeyer, presi-
dent of the sugar trust, spent the
greater part of one session Of the
Industrial Commission in reading
a carefully prepared statement IN
tending to show that trusts are a
great benefit to the country, but
questions asked by members OF
the commission made it evident

Prices vary from IS cents to $500

Prices vary from IS cents to $500
an acre. Very good sugar land
can be secured, however, for from
So to $40 an acre, owing to the
planters who lost everything save
their land during the war having,
to sell some of that for cash to
work the rest. 1t is these pieces
of property that are being bought
by the English. For some reason
the American investor seems to
be. more cautious than his English
cousin. | think this is because
the English are convinced that
American control of Cuba will
necessarily be permanent, making
their investments safe. The
average American investor does
not haye the confidence to make
an Investment in Cuba that he
does in Porto Rico, which he
knows will remain under Alnerl-
can control. Land values in Por-
to Rico are fully 40 per cent high
er than in Cuba. One great
drawback to investment in Cuba
is the uncertainty Of the title of
the property and the absolute
authority of the spanish notaries.
It is custom under the old Span
lse law that the notary shall keep
the records of land title, and as
this office has decended for gener-
ations in the same families they
have become very independent
and their fees are outrageous.

where fee So, 900 was charged
for recording a deed, and another
charge of ST, 500 for recording a

Mr.. Havemeyer frankly stated
shat his trust tried to drive COM
petition out of business, and re-
gretfully added that it had not
always succeeded. He also told
the commission that trusts we're
regulated by laws of trade, which
neither the commission, the Fed
eral government. nor any other
power could change, and that this
and all other Investigations of
trusts were absolutely useless.
He was an interesting, if not a
convincing witness.
There has been so much said
for and against the presidents
recent civil service order, that the
following opinion expressed by
Col. Brady, Collector of Internal
Reyenue, for the Richmond Va,
district, as to ifs effect upon the
offices is both timely and interest
ing: "The order IS absolutely
without political advantage, so
far as appointments of deputy col
lectors, gaugers, and store-keep-
ers is concerned. | can name a
man for deputy, but he has to
undergo and pass a civil service
examination before he can be ap-
pointed. l know a capable law
yer who / would like to make my
deputy. but he would probably
fail to answer a lot of foolish
questions and he will not run the
risk of rejection. / have been do
ing internal revenue work for Is
years, and I believe I know the
duties thoroughly, yet ! doubt if
] could pass a messengers exami-
nation. AS for gaugers and
store-keepers, if they get over
$500 a year they are still in the
classified service. If they receive
less they can be named by a col
lector, but do not escape the civil
service examination. I do not
see where the collector who is
really desirous of giving places to
republicans can find much COM
fort in the presidents order"
Ex-Representatiye Baker, of n.

Republican Workers, which has
been organized for the special pur
pose of fighting the civil service
law in congress and elsewhere.

Maj. A. u. Belts, of Ohio, who
has just returned from a trip

presses himself as much puzzled
because American capitalists are

NO ACTUAL WANT HERE.

The charitable people of Anaconda who
recently took the Christmas census of
the poor and needy for the purpose of
making them acquainted with Santa
Claus, report more than so per cent less
there were 1O4 families, in which there
We're 240 children, h We're provided
with Christmas cheer, such as turkeys,
flour, groceries n presents for the
at Christmas time. This year
the number was Sc families and 112 chill
dren. Each family was or the Saturday
evening before Christmas presented With
a consignment of groceries sufficient to
last for several days. The principal
donors who looked after the distribution
of SO many goods for the comfort and
happiness of the poor We're Of
the EpWorth League. Among the num-
Der was d. r. McRae, who made a per-
sonal canvass of the greater part of the
city, and he speaks in~telligently when he
says there are not six families in the city
among the poor With the heads Of the
family out of employment. OF the 50
families remembered at Christmas line
they either consist of a widow and chill
dren or else old people, such as old MO-
men, who cannot work. \ few grass
widows were found and some Of them
have large families. but the women are
taking in washing and doing other WORK
to support themselves, with 10 regrets
that probably a worthless husband is
gone and his whereabouts a"e unknown.
Mr.. McEae says there is no real want
in Anaconda, although a few are in poor
circumstances.

Three Cases Known to be in
the City Now.
HOUSES ARE GUARANTEED
An Epidemic of the Disease is Feared
and Many People Are Gettirg
Vaccjnated.

Anaconda seems to be confronted with
an epidemic of the real old thing-small-
pox. That it has got away and is now
making itself uncomfortable by it's pres
ence in several parts of the city is no
longer a SECRET. Three houses are now
under quarantine-one at No. COS East
Fourth street, anothe at No. 2O9 Cedar
street, and a third one, which was quar-
antined last night, at No. Alb Oak street.
The last person to come down with "a
varioloid case was /. S. Wilson, d barber,
employed at No. 116 Main street and re-
siding at No. 413 Oak street. The Feth-
ausen lodging house at No. 209 Cedar
street has one patient. ma med Frost, who
has the disease in a mild fC1m. AS soon
as it became known that he was a sus-
pect sever other rro1lerS escaped from
the house before it was c~uarantlIed
and they are now scattered owe the
city. but no one knows Mhe re. Another
case was reported last night on Cedar
street. but could not be ound his morn
ing. The disease will soon become gen
eral and the yellow IL antine flag is
not a pleasant thing TO behold under
such circumstances. Vaccination is the
w~atchWord and Is being done on hum
dreds of people every week. Every n
should get vaccinatcd at once.

O'Toole and Mrs. Edna Reilly. who were
arrested last week, charged with adul-
terry, were given a preliminary hearing
and discharged, only to be Immediately
arrested on a charge of unlawful cohab-
itation. When the couple appeared in
court O'Toole produced a marriage
license, with the intention of being
welded. but the court could not see it
that way. Attorney r. r. O'Brien was
counse for the defendants, Assistant
County Attorney Casey appearing for
the state. The defense moved to dis
given as that clause of Section 451 of the
Penal Code of Montana, which Provides:
The ~interrnarriage of the parties sub
sequent to the commission of the offense
is a bar to the prosecution
Judge j. NJ. Kennedy. in everything the
motion, said:

Marriage is an institution too holy, too
sacred to be debased into a ehicl, of

The case then Welt to trial and the
defendants We're foand not guilty as
above stated.

of many attractions which opened last
night with "A Bachelors Romance with
James Neill in the leading role. 1t was
a drama of the purest type in which

will be the attraction. The plot is one
in which there are too many relatives and
friends on the side of Mrs. Smith. Smith
