RELIEVED FROM COMMAND.

Havana, Cuba. May 1.-GeneraI
William Ludlow. United States army.
who commanded the military depart
ment of Havana, returned to Wash
ington today and will report to the
acknowledgement for orders. General
LudlOw's work has been so well done
that Il separate military command is
no longer needed there His admins
tratiOn has been based on such solid
foundations, and has been built up in
such Il thoroughly workmanlike man
ner. that the department can now
be left in safety and peace without
requiring his personal supervision.
What that construction work has been
can only be realized by remembering
what chaos prevailed in Havana when
General Ludlow took command. He
not only had to reconstruct the mill
tary administration from the fOunda-
ton. but he had to deal with burning
ruins threatening death and destruc-
ton on every side. 1t is little less
than marvellous that the dangerous
elements gathering in the Cuban capt
tai have been reduced to order without
violence and comparatively little dis
tW'banee of the peace.

REUNITED BEFoRE DEATH.
An Arizona Invalid Returns to the

Chicago. H., M-y flames Bar
rard Stevenson, .sted by consump-
ton and lying on bed from which he
may never rise. was remarked to his
divorced wife at 6 o'clock tonight at
the home of his father, 643e Washing
ton avenue The Rev. NJ L. BOyntOn,
of the Lexington avenue Baptist
church, performed the ceremony. Only
the inmates of the household were
present to witness the reconciliation of
the two in the eyes of the church and
of the law. 1t was one of the last
acts in the closing chapter of a rO-
nance.
In 1889 Miss Stelle Lee CasOn, of
Marshall. Mo, and Mr.. Stevenson,
who was n native of Glasgow, Mo-, and
an early sweetheart of the bride, were
married in Washington, d. c., and
came here to live. He was n lumber
dealer. but in 1895, after two children
had been born to them, investments
which the husband had made proved
unfortunate, and they became es-
tranged. Mr.. Stevenson took up the
study of Occultism and abandoned his
wife, who secured Il position in the
treasury department at Washington.
Mr. StevensOn's health failed, and he
went to Arizona.
For the last few weeks StevensOn's
life gradually ebbed away in a small
prairie hut in the territory. The only
attendance he got was from a cow

CLARK MAY RETAIN HIS SEAT.

washington. May 4.-Senator Clark.
of Montana, having failed so far to
resign his seat in the senate. it is
thought today that he will not leave
the senate. \ two-thirds vote is re-
quired to eXpel Il member, and this is
not easily secured in Clark's case.
That he has not been expelled is due
to the fact that the populist governor
of Montana will name an unsatisfac-
tory successor. Clark's friends are
hopeful of an arrangement whereby
he will be able to retain his seat until
next winter. when he expects a re-
election by the Montana legislature.

constructed first and the upper one later. The
lower one was composed of huge blocks of stone
and the upper one of sand bags. No attempt
was made at first to render the rock sudds
watertight Their chief object was to check the
flow of the current enough to leave an area OF
comparatively calm water above
The upper sudds, however, were so compact
that no water could leak through This object
having been achieved, the lower sudds were
frightened up too. Pumps then set at
work. and the water removed from each of
the regions inclosed between the upper and
lower barriers. For time it was feared that
creVices in the rocky bed OF the river would
allow water to force its way in Had these an
ticipatiOns been realized. it would have been
necessary to sink the foundations here by means
Of caissons and compressed air But the river
bottom tight; hence in each of the channels
except West Channel it possible TO lay bare
area where the site of the future dam was
dry enough for excavation. Little of the latter
work has been done, but that will be easy work.
The chief difficulty lay in establishing the tenn
porary barriers. sudds as to exclude the
river during further operations. The construc-
tion of the first of each pair of sudds the
hardest, because the current was altogether be-
yond control.
Starting from end, a line of huge blocks
of stone pushed out from shore. So swift
was the stream that it would pick up four-ton
rock and carry it off like chip. Occasionally
a part of the barrier would be swept away and
the railway and steam on ii would go, too
Steady progress was made, however, and at last
the channel was crossed. In two instances the
barrier composed of iron rails and rock
the former being used to tie the latter together.
All of the channel work is conducted in such
way that nothing will seriously suffer from be-
ing submerged temporarily during the annua,
rise Several years will elapse before the dam
is completed
At the west end of the dam a channel for
navigation is to be left This will require con-
siderable excavation. and four locks are To be
constructed. Much labor has already been eX-
pended this feature of the enterprise. The
dam will be perforated by 40 sluices at a low
level and forty at higher one. The former
will have an opening of fourteen square meters,
or 1876 square feet. The latter will have just
half that area At last accounts preparations
were being made to put i'll some of the lower
sideways.
