hostilities. He has found 1t necessary to
write the State Department an account Of
the difficulties he is having to answer the
many letters of inquiry. which In the past
three months numbered over 200. Most of
these relate to American boys who went
to Cape Town as muleteers on cattle ships
and drifted into either the Boer or the
British army. Many Of these are now pris-

and a free passage home, for they are
nearly all without money, Says the consul

men who are at the prison camps (Simon's
Town, Durham. st. Helena and Ceylon) are
well cared for. and actually fare, as COM

now under way on King street between
Fairfax and Royal streets will be extended
to several other squares. petition pre-
pared by Mr.. William H. May to have the
King street block between Fairfax and Lee
streets repaved like the adjoining square
above has been circulated among the prop
erty owners along the line Of the proposed
Improvement. Almost all interested have
signed the paper, each agreeing to pay his
share Of one-third Of the entire cost on each
side of the street. This is in accordance
with the law regulating such improve
ments. According to his plan the city has
to provide for only one-third Of the total
cost. AS the tracks OF the Washington,
Alexandria and Mount Vernon railroad lie
in the center Of the street that company
would have to assume large proportion
Of the expense that would ordinarily fall
to the part of the city The matter will
probably be presented to the city council
at the next meeting of that body for off,
cial action.
A similar paper has been prepared for
circulation among those who own property
the square between Lee and Union
streets. If the efforts Of the promoters Of
the movement are successful the result
would be line Of three squares on King
street paved with vitrified brick on a six
inch concrete base. Many citizens believe
that such a start would mean an extended
system Of street improvements.
