Varied Architecture Of the City and
Reasons for It,
SOME IMPROV EMEN rs

now perched on the embarrassment over

road. The ground about it adiOins the
grounds Of the Zoo. while on the south side
of 18th street the land is not only divided
into building lots. but houses are being

This house was occupied for a good many

Mr. Neylands. and 1t is his intention to

his own use However, for the present at

the future plans are yet to be fully de-
termined.
Interest in House Designing.
The exhibition Of architectural drawing

was the occasion Of a pleasant gathering
of architects and artists and their friends.

ans reason that there were few draw

Tkaye is perhaps, greater popular inter

domestic forms. than in most other cities.
The house architecture of the city Is noted
for its variety. Up TO Few years ago the
bIIilfine of houses in rows was unusual.
When a man wanted a home, instead of
buyfng one ready built, he had one de-
signed according to his own tastes. Now.
howeyer houses are built a good deal in

ter Market Armory, Tuesday and Thursday
of each week. The exercises consist of
dumb bell drill, work on horizontal bar,
pole vaulting and games of basket ball,
volley ball and indoor base ball. Prof.
Koran now has under his direction in addi-
ton to the athletic classes three indoor
base ball teams, two basket bah teams and
one volley ball team. This schedule is fol-
lowed in the gymnasium: Tuesdays and

Mr. w. B. Todd, secretary of the Column
bia Heights Citizens Association, has been
informed by the District Commissioners
that they do not deem it advisable to grant
the request of the association for the con-
struction Of a crossing at 18th street and
Kenesaw avenue. The Commissioners state
that experience has shown that crossings
of the kind desired are injurious to road
ways, for, in order to render them service
able in muddy weather, 1t is necessary to
place them above the surface of the road
way. In this position, the Commissioners
further state. crossings constitute serious
obstacles to vehicles.

Suburban Development.

There has been some inquiry recently in
regard to land which will be suitable for
subdivision in the vicinity of the street
railroad lines, especially along the streets
which are to be extended from the old
limits of the city. 1t seems to be the i'm
preston that the population is to flow in
these directions, and that there will neces-
sarily be n demand for houses. The i'm
provement Of the suburban street car
lines, it is believed, will lead to suburban
development which will be of a substantial
character, and those who are on the look
out for opportunities to make money are
of the opinion that it will be Il good scheme
to be prepared to furnish building sites
when the demand comes. 1t is understood
that as soon as the work of the extension
of 14th street is completed the Capital
Traction Company will continue its street
car line further north. while when 18th
street is opened up, 1t is thought that Con-
gress will authorize the building of street

DAY AND NIGHT,
Filipinos Increasingly ,Ac-
tive at Iloilo.

Manila, Jan. 1.-THE situation at
Iloilo is unchanged. The Filipinos are
increasingly active day and night. On
Saturday they loaded some lighters
with rock and sank them at the en-
trance of the river, blocking the chan
mel for all vessels with the exception
of launches All the lights have been
eXtinguished Order, however, is main
tanned with severity, and offenders are
promptly shot.
On Sunday one of the Arizona's boats
manned by soldiers, was carried by the
ebb tide to Quimaraos Islahd, and while
attempting to land there, armed ma
tives assembled on the beach and COM
PEELED the Americans to retire. Che
Filipinos refuse to have any dealings
with the Americans. Vegetables and
fruit are not obtainable, business is sus-
pended, and the warehouses are full of
rotting sugar
At Manila the situation is critical
but pacifcation is possible, in spite of
the unyielding attitude of the Filipinos.
1t is reported that the rebel govern
ment at Malolos is willing the AmePi-
cans should establish protectorate on
the condition that they promise to give
the Filipinos absolute independence
within a stated time. It is also said
that the Filipinos will demand official
recognition.
Efforts are being made to bring about
another conference with the rebels
The educated FiliDinos are anxious ia
avoid trouble, and it is hoped that the
militant Filipinos will recede before
wiser counsels. In the meantime the
tension is extreme on both sides.

CUBANs MIsREPREsENTED.
Gen. Wood Says This is the Case Regare-
ing Their Capacity for Self Government.

Gen. Wood Says This is the Case Regare-
ing Thar Capacity for Self Government.
Washington, Jan. 12.--Gen. Wood was
at the war department today, in con-
sultation with the officials, respecting
matters of Cuban policy. The question
of the distribution of customs receipts
and other financial matters have been
discussed only specifically so far but
before Gen. Woods departure a per-
manent policy probably will be adopt
ed. Gen. Woods visit has done much
to elevate the Cubans In the estima-
ton of the government here. He has
shown from his personal experiences,
that they have been very much mis-
represented as to their capacity for
elf-goyernment, and the remarka BILE
state which has attended the plan SO
carefully developed by him, of allow
ing the best element among the Gu
bans the largest opportunity to admin
lister the affairs of their own munich
pallties and provinces, has made a deeu
impression upon the official mind here.
AS the province of Santiago emerged
from the war in probably worse shape
than any of the others, it is regarded
as entirely probable That a system
which has worked so well under ad
verse conditions there, would be quite
as successful in the other provinces.
