IL Cleaning Up the City.

Galveston, Texas March 1s.--Hsnnibsl
Noble, Joined by thirty-ssven other colored
men of Houston. today hled a libel IN the
Federal court against the steamer Eugene,
her tackle and appliances, alleging actual
damages in the sum OF se51s and exemplary
damages In the sum OF $500. The libelants
are colored men who we're engaged 10
come to Galveston to take the place of the
striking longshoremen during the Mallory
strike last September. They left Houston
on the Eugene and came down the bayou
without incident. Upon reaching Galveston
bay fierce wind was blowing and the little
steamer went aground about o'clock.
The petition alleges that the vessel sank
so that the lower deck, where the libelants
were confined, was several feet under
water The charge is made that Captain
ALLEN aud the other officers Of the Eugene
secured Winchester rifles and threatened
TO shoot any man who attempted TO 90
on the upper deck and that the men were
kept standing In water several feet deep.
The basis OF the suit is the allegation that
the carving capacity of the steamer WAS
limited TO fifty people, whereas there were
eighty crowded aboard this particular oct
casion. A list OF the personal effects OF the
libellants, including clothing and weapons,
is set forth in the petition, the total OF
which makes up their claim for actual
damages. Pistols were attributed TO more
than half Of them. The Eugene will be-
seized by deputy United States marshal
tomorrow.

Estcrha.y Confessc. to Forgery.

London. June 3.-The Chronicle says
that Major Comte Ferdinand Wnlsin
Esterhazy called at its office last even
Ing with confidential friend and, after
declaring that the time had arrived
when the whole truth should be told,
although hitherto by reason Of con-
slant orders and Inducements he had
kept silence on the essential point,
made the following statement:
"The chiefs of the army have dis
gracefully abandoned me. My cup IL
full and shnll speak out.
Yes" traising his voice and glnncing
around, ut was l who wrote the Dor
dereau. wrote II upon orders received
from Sandherr."
Esterhazy, the Chronicle says. then
proceeded to explain that for months
before 1893 moral proofs had been OBJ
tanned Of leakages which were only
possible through officers belonging tn
the ministry of war: and It was neces-
sary to catch the guilty party by mate
rial evidence. Hence the bordereau.

Madrid. June 2-The queen regent
opened the Cortes to-day with the usu-
nj ceremonial. and In the speech from
the throne announced that the Marri-
nne, Caroline and Palaps islands were
ceded to Germany by the late Spanish
cabinet.
Washington. June THE transfer
of the islands Is entirely in the hands
OF Spain and Germany. and the United
States Is without means of preventing
the consummating of such n bargain.
except we resort to force to prevent the
occupation of the islands by Germany.
1t is understood that Germany sound
ed this government on the subject be-
fore entering into formal negotiations
with Spain. and II Is believed the Unit
ed States made no formal objection
to the proposition. but at the same time
never went to the extent of wniving all
objection to the proposed occupation
OF that territory by the German gov
ernment.
II is no secret that the United States
would prefer that the islands should
remain In control of weak power like
Spain than fall into possession OF a
powerful nation like Germany. Guam,
the island of the Ladrope group now
In possession OF the United States is
completely surrounded by other islands
of that group. Furthermore, the Car
olIne islands flank the line OF trans
portation between Honolulu and Ma
mia. so that Germany would have nm
indispYtable strategetic advantage
over the United States in connection
with Its Philippine possessions.

ASSESSMENTS IN NEW YORK.
Small Taxes Are Paid by Financiers Known
to he Extremely Wealthy.

New York. June 1.-The sessions of
the Mazet committee We're noticeable
mainly for two points, one the turning
Mt bay OF Mr.. Moss, the other, the evil
dence regarding the existence In the
city of the most frightful form of de-
prnvity.
BY far the greater portion OF the ses-
sions was devoted to the examination
OF President Feitner and Commissioner
Sheehy, both Of the tax board. Their
evidence merely went to show the long
established lnefficiency of the system
OF personal taxation.
Mr.. Moss opened the session with nm
outbnrst OF Indignation against the
way In which witnesses hnd treated
him. He demanded the protection of
the committee and announced his in
tentlon OF bringing Police Captain
Price before the committee TO prove
the charges made yesterday against
Mr.. Moss.
Thomas l.. Feltner. president of the
tax board. was called. He testified that
among his appointments We're those OF
n number of relatives at high salaries.
Mr.. Moss went into the assessments
of John ID. Rockefeller, Cornelius Van
derbilt. j. Pierpont Morgan, Russell
Sage and George Gould. In the case of
Rockefeller, Sage and Vanderbilt. the
record merely showed that they were
assessed In 1S0S and 1900 nfter making
no appearance. In the case of Mr.. Nor
gan II showed that he was assessed on
81 .00O.000 and that he consented to nm
assessment OF S400.OO0 after stating
that he had no property upon which he
could be assessed
do you mean to say" said Mr..
Moss. that Mr.. Morgan swore thnt he
was not taxable and then volunteered
to pay on $400.O00y'
That is what mean to say" said
Mr.. Feitner.
In the case of George Gould The rec
ord showed that he was not assessed.
Mr.. Moss asked IL any effort had been
made to place him on the roll and Mr..
Feitner said that not so far as he
knew. Mr.. Feitner admitted that n
tremendous amount of injustice result
ed from the personal tax system. MS
1t existed nt present. An adjournment
was taken until 1890 o'clock tomor-
row morning.

When man born In foreign coun.
try desires to be naturallzed In the
United States, he must forswear al.
iesiance to the ''prince. potentate, state
or sovereignty under whose govern
ment his birth took place. With Gu.
bans coming to the United States 1t Is
dificuit to see what sovereignty thay
should renounce. Certainly 1t is moi
the spapish. for the king Of Spain now
has nothing TO do with Cuba. 1t Is
not the republic of Cuba. for Cuba has
no recognized government. 1t is hard
ly the United States. for a candidate
could not forswear allegiance to this
government and in the same breath
swear everlasting fealty to 1t. When
this question recently cnme up in q
Minnesota court. the Judge decided
that as King Alphonso was the last
sovereign who held Cuba as a posses
sion. II the candidate would forswear
allegiance to him the naturalization
might proceed.

The United States government Il
engaged in the dissemination of
vast amount OF valuable Information
regarding the policy pursued by the
British government In the manage
mcnt OF Its colonial possessions. II
Is curious to observe that all that has
been published in this way has been
in response to questions put by the
people to high officials, which shows
that there is n general and deep inter
est among the citizens of this country
upon the subject. Closer investiga'
tion shows, however. that nearly all
such inquiries come from industrioui
British subjects temporarily resioIns
In this country.
