1t believed at the War Department that
fine insurgents will endeavor to hold these
captives for ransom, In accordance with
the practice adopted by them with Spanish
prisoners during the insurrection against
Spain. 1t is not likely that this course will
prove successful against the United States,
however. as no effort will be spared to run
down the insurgent band and recapture the
American prisoners.

District Commissioners recently for the
cancellation of general taxes against the
cas-. half of lot AZ. Wright and Coxs sub
division of Mt. Pleasant, for the years
1874. 1875, 1880, 1883, 1885 and 1856. The
application was referred by the Commits
sioners to the attorney for the District, Mr..
\. B. Duvall. who has advised them that
1t should be denied.
1t appears from Mr.. Duvall's opinion
that in a certified statement of taxes Is
sued to E. L. Schmidt July l, 1898. the above
These taxes were assessed against the
property while it was owned by Joseph
Harris. who subsequently died, and in a
proceeding in the Equity Court for a parti-
E. NJ. Hewlett, who had been appointed
trustees, conveyed the above mentioned
part of the lot to Silas and Frank r. Har-
ris, two Of the heirs-at-law of said Joseph
Harris.
The certified statement of taxes was OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Schmidt In connection with
the settlement of the account of the
trustees, and in order to secure the lot in
the partition of their fathers estate these
heirs borrowed money from the Perpetual
Building Association, upon a deed of trust
TIE association acting upon the faith Of
the said certified statement Of taxes.
1.-The association" says Mr. Duvall has
as Yet suffered no loss by reason of the
omission of the above mentioned taxes
from the certified statement If there
should be sale of the property under the
deed of trust, and the association should
become the purchaser, ii would be entitled
to have the taxes Cancelled, but in the
present situation of the case 1t is not so
entitled.
"Silas Harris and Frank r. Harris ac-
quired this property by descent from their
father: they are not subsequent purchas-
ers,' and are not within the terms of the
act of Congress approved May 3D. 1892. au-
thorizing the issuance of "a certified state

The text of the letter Of complaint is in

has been invited by the Commissioners to
the fact that an amendment has been
added to the bill for the extension of Co.

The Commissioners state that they have
on several occasions recommended adverse
action on such a proposition, and it has

The Commissioners believe that all streets
running north and south should be desig-

a Marshall street in the District, they
