II mas been announced to be the fnten-
t1on OF the directors to make a further is
sue OF a half million of bonds and use a
portion to call in the outstanding bonds
which, counting those in the sinking fund
amount to $3.50, 600.
An offer, it is understood has been made
10 the company for the purchase of the
balance of the proposed new issue of

nat, or lo11z and the accrued interest. This
would be an advance OF III per cent over
what was realized by the company from
the sale of the first half million. The d.
rectors, 1t is stated, have decided not TO
accept this offer, as they do not propose
to make a further issue Of bonds for the
present, at least. The reason given is the
belief that still better prices will be Oh
tained In the future. 1t is suggested that
the directors may decide to offer ,ae new
bonds to the bondholders making q re-
funding of the outstanding securities rather
than a redemption.

DepIored Mt the Department.

The adjutant general has received tele-
gram from Colonel Beck, commanding the
18th Volunteer Infantry (coloredO, at JEFF
ferson barracks, Mo, saying that Captain
Lewis w. McNabb of that regiment COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself through
the head with rifle
Captain McNabb was q veteran soldier,
and was one of the heroes of the gallant
charge at San Juan which resulted in the
capture of Santiago. He was born in
GAINESVILLE. Ohio, March I, 1860, and served
as an enlisted man in the oath Regular In
fantry tcolore0 from July 10, 1881, until
September last, when he was appointed
captain of the 10Th Volunteer Infantry. His
promotion was gradual, but continuous
and he served terms as private, corporal
sergeant and first sergeant. His excellent
record and his brave and meritorious SER
wees on the field of battle at Santiago led
to his appointment as captain Of the colored
regiment of volunteers.
No other colored soldier in the army has
received greater recognition from the ad-
ministration than McNabb, and his ur-
timely taking off is greatly deplored at the
War Department.

SMALLPOX SITUATION.
Persons Afflicted Said to Have Light
Attack.

The two persons who were removed to the
smallpox hospital yesterday suffering from
the disease, Crawford c. Cook and Mrs
Mary S. Winslow, were reported by the
health department officials today to be do
ing we'll and, as they have but a light
attack of the disease, no serious results
are anticipated. AS stated in yesterdays
Star, the health officer is satisfied that
young Cook contracted the disease by com
ing in contact with Stevens and Grant,
the young men who were taken from 941
H street two weeks ago today suffering
from the disease, he having been chum
of theirs, and their classmate at the Bliss
Electrical School. But the office is still I'M
informed as to where or how Mrs. Winslow
contracted it, as it has not yet been able
to definitely learn the true history Of her
case.
At house 910 18th street, from which Cook
was taken to the hospital, fourteen persons
are quarantined, and two at 7O2 L street,
where Mrs. Winslow resided. All these peo-
pie are reported to be in good health, and
as a number of them are said to be de-
sirous of being taken to the detention camp
they will probably be removed there in
day two.
The people who have been quarantined at
the H street house are also reported 70 be
in good health, and If no other case mean
time, develops therein. they and that house
will be released from quarantine Friday
night when the period of sixteen days will
have expired, that being ample in the opin-
ion of the health officer
All persons with whom the four afflicted
persons are known to have come in con-
tact will be kept under close observation
by the health department inspectors for the
usual length of time. Each of the patients
is said to be suffering from light attack
of the disease. and it appears that Stevens
was unsuccessfully vaccinated, Grant never
was and Cook was successfully vacci-
mated the latter part of last month The
infected houses are, of course, closely
guarded, and we'll piacarded with warning
cards, and every other precautfon Is be-
ing and will be taken by the health officer
to prevent further spread of the disease.

OPEN DOOR IN CHINA.
Nothing of a Sensational Character
Known Here.

Officials here are at a loss to know what
is meant by the mysterious London dis
patch relative to Anglo-American relations
as to China, which is of such a startling
character that 1t cannot be published.
Certainly there Is nothing under considera-
ton at present between Great Britain and
the United States in that line that can be
said to be OF a sensational character. The
government is not averse to having 1t
known now broadly that 1t has been stead
lily engaged in negotiations looking to the
maintenance Of whatever rights in the mat
ter of trade that we now enjoy in Chinese
ports.
The officials do not care to go into details
while the negotiations are still in progress,
but 1t is expected that the subject will be
made the basis Of special message to
Congress by the President some time dur
ing the coming winter 1t is gathered that
our government is not likely to encounter
any serious opposition to what 1T regards
as It's perfectly reasonable effort to secure
from the European powers interested for
NAL assurances in confirmation of verbal
statements already made that the way for
American trade in China will be kept open
in the event Of a retention of the existing
concessions and leaseholds. Nothing has
been heard from France on that subject
yet, though II is assumed that the re-
turning ambassador M. ,Cambon, will bear
some instructions on that subject.

SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOAT.
Admiral Rodgers Reports the Holland
Perfectly Satisfactory.

Admiral Rodgers, president Of the naval
inspection board, has returned to Washing
ton from visit of inspection with the
board to Peconic bay, where test was
made of the submarine torpedo boat Hol-
land. The admiral made verbal report to
Acting Secretary Allen In advance of the
formal written report to come, referring in
the most favorable terms to the boat The
inspection board takes some credit to itself
for the excellent performance OF the Hoi-
land on its trial, for nearly year ago the
board laid down the conditions that the
boat would hive to meet to tit it for use as
a naval arm and harbor defense boat The
builders of the boat have been working on
the lines laid down. The great difficulty to
be overcome was the unfamiliarity Of the
crew with the queer craft and the strange
conditions in the use Of torpedoes. Ninder-
man of arctic fame was placed in charge
of the torpedo apparatus. and an expert
naval gunner. named Mackenzie, supplied
the expert knowledge as to the torpedoes.
The result was according to Admiral Rod
gers, that the Holland worked perfectly in
that department Three torpedoes were dis
charged during the course of the trial. each
striking the target.

A WAR TAX CASE.
Interesting Argument Being Made in
the United States Supreme Court.

thS SUFFICE supreme SouFts
The case of William Crawford, appellant,
against VIM. L. Hubbell, treasurer of the
Adams Express Company, was argued in
the United States Supreme Court today.
This case relates to the war tax on express
packages, and through 1t 1t is sought to
determine whether that tax should be paid
by the sender Of the package or by the ex-
press company.
1t is said the decision involves 81, 800 900
for all the express companies of the United
States. 1t is also suggested that should
the case go against the express companies
those companies might readily increase
their rates of charges to cover or more
than cover the cost of the tax they would
have to pay.

The Arbitration of the Samoan

Regarding the report that King Oscar of
Norway and Sweden, in arbftrating the Sa-
moan claims, would be charged with the
duty Of fixing the responsibility for the
bombardment by the British american
forces, it is said in a responsible diplomatic
quarter that no such feature appears In
the treaty, and that King Oscars duty is
confined to passing on the justice and
amount of the various claims, which in
clude those of Americans, Germans and
British. The claims are not large, the
British being S45, 900, the German about the
same, and the American considerably less.
One claim, probably the largest, is for S.
