CUBAN INVESTIGATION.
Senate Committee Meets and Dis
cusses the Situation.

Washington, May 30.-The senate com
mittee on relations with Cuba has held
its first meeting under the resolution di-
recting an investigation into irregulari-
ties in Cuba, but took no action beyond
the adoption of number of resolutions
calling upon the various departments fol
information bearing upon the points Gov
cred by the senate resolution.
The principal inquiries are to be di'
rected to the secretary of war, but the
postmaster general, the secretary of the
treasury and the secretary of the navy
also are to be requested to throw such
light upon the subject as they can. The
Inquiries cover all the points contained
in the resolution, and the members of the
committee expressed wish that the in
formation should be of the most minute
character. They insisted that published
statements would not answer the pur-
pose but that new stersteents should be
prepared, giving the fullest possible in
formation. There was some discussion
of the necessity of visit to Cuba, buI
thc conclusion was reached informally
that there would he no necessity for sucl

heard from and the information supplied
by them digeSted. The resolutions cal

HONOR FOB BLUE AND GRAY.
Dedication of Antictam Monument TO
Union and Confederate Soldiers.

Hagerstown, Md, May 30. = In the
presence of President Mckinley and
many members of his cabinet, score or
more of United States senators and twice
as many members of the house, the gov
ernor of Maryland and prominent men
from all parts of the country there was
dedicated on Antietam battlefield mon
ument to the memory of the Federal and
Confederate dead who fell on the bloody
field. There were also present hundreds
of veterans who fought for the "lost
cause" and thousands who fought for the
Union. Side by side, shoulder to shoul-
der. they stood, with uncovered heads
throughout the ceremony which marked
the conveyance of the monument from
the state of Maryland to the national
government.
The monument is of granite and bronze,
octugon, % feet in diameter at base and
81 feet high to the top of the statue.
Upon the base rest eight columns repre-
senting the eight Maryland commands
which were present at the battle, united
in supporting the Temple of Liberty"
which is of bronze and forms the canopy.
The whole is surmounted by bronze
statue, representing Peace, with sword
sheathed and pointed downward. The
| figure holds laurel wreath over the hilt
of the sword. On four of the faces of
the monument are bronze basreliefs, rep
resenting scenes in the battle. On the
interior faces of the buttresses are eight
bronze tablets, bearing in raised letters
the name and record during the war of
the eight organizations commemorated
by the monument. The monument cost
$4,000.
The original design was drawn by the
late Major Henry G. Graham of the
Fifth Maryland infantry and was after
ward modified by the Harrison Granite
company, who were the contractors for
4 the erection of the monument.
The commands thus honored are the
Second, Third. Fourth, Fifth and Pur.
nell Legion, regiments of infantry. and
Batteries A and b, First Maryland
Union artillery, and Brockenbrough's and
Dement'S batteries of Confederate arti
lery.
The movement to erect the monument
grew out of desire of the Maryland
members of the Grand Army of the Re
public to honor the dead of Maryland
who fell in the battle. The Grand Arm!
at first contemplated erecting the monu
ment only to commemorate the Unioi
dead, but Norman G. Scott, state senate
from Washington county in 1898, was in
. huential in having the appropriation in
! clude the Confederate dead.
