A Visit to Arlington, A Stop in Yon-
kers and Some Queer Things
In Washington.

As soon as the Lees had gone. the Fed
eral troops took possession of Arlington
and converted the mansion into head
quarters, and the grounds into a camp. AS
the war went on, a.hospital was estab-
lished there, and when other cemetery
grounds were no longer sufficient to bury
the dead. Arlington was devoted to the
purpose of a national cemetery. In 1864
Arlington was sold for delinquent taxes
and the government bought it for s26.10o.
In 1877 George Washington Gusts Lee
heir under the Custis will. established
his legal right to the property and the
claim was adjusted by payment by the
United States Government of $15oooo..
Such is the history of Arlington where
now lie Confederate dead who fell in
the vicinity of Washington. and where
1900 Federal soldiers are buried.
The view from the portico is one Of
the most beautiful and has been famed
for a century. Lafayette, when guest
there, declared 1t one of the loveliest he
had ever looked upon. Below the sleepy
Potomac glides as on by shores where

rise Georgetown and Washington. 1t is
a majestic site, where slopes and ravines
of ravishing natural splendor are en-
lIarced by the artistic skill of the land
scapc gardener.
1t is not generally known that the first
grave prepared at Arlington was for a
Confederate prisoner, who died at the
hospital. Nor is 1t generally known that
there are a number of women buried

by the Government as the wives and

cOurt-martial of General Jacob II.
Smith on the charge of conduct preju-
dicial to good order and discipline be
gan today. General Lloyd Wheaton
presided.
Colonel Charles A. Woodruff counsel
for the defense said he desired to sim
plify the proceedings He was willing
70 admit that General Smith gave in
structiOns to Major Waller to kill and
burn, and made Samar a hOwuus VII
derness; that he wanted everybody
killed capable of bearing arms, and
that he did specify all over 10 years, as
the Samar boys of that age were equal
ly as dangerous as their elders.
Captain David Porter, Marine Corps,
and Lieutenant John ii. a. Day, Mar
inc Corps, were the only witnesses eX-
amined. Their testimony developed
nothing new

VENTURA HAS CROWD HE SHOT HIS FRIEND
YOUNG HAwAIIANs, FOOL WITH
FIREARMS.
Fun Ends In an Operation at the Hos
pital This Aaternoon.-Wound Not
Fatal.

David Kanewanui, editor of the ma
tive paper huOkUa, was snot last even
ing in the club house of the Kameha-
meha Alumni Association on Fort
street near kukui and will this after
noon submit to an operation at the
Queens Hospital under the direction Of
Or. w. E. Taylor and DR. James r.
Wayson, who gave the first aid to the
injured man.
Yesterday evening Kanewanui with
another young native were visitors in
the room of third native named 10 in
the club building 10 playfully, it is
believed, produced a revolver which he
pointed between the two visitors. Ka-
newanui, to show that he also had fire
arms went to his room to get his rifle.
During his absence the inactive witness
of the shooting thinks that 10 placed
something in the chamber of his re-
NOlver, which up to that time does not
seem to have been loaded. On Kane
Wanui's return 10 again pointed the re-
Volver and fired. kanewanui dropped
to the floor the bullet having entered
his right cheek and ranged downwards.
1t is thought that the whole affair is
an accident the injured man himself
acquitting 10 of any motive but plain
fooling. Further investigation may be
made.

THE CUBAN BILL DEAD
RECIPROCITY UNLIKELY TO PASS
THIS SESSION.
Senate Proposes to Carry out Original
Plan and the House Stands BY Its
-
Position.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Senators
who stand for the Administration pro,
gramme of tariff reduction in favor Of
Cuba declare that change has come
over the opposition in the Senate dur
ing the past few days. and that the orr
ginal plan of relief will be carried out,
with about 25 per cent reduction, free
of the differential amendment that
wrought havoc in the House. They
claim to have received limitations
amounting to assurances from the ma-
jority of the beet sugar Senators that
the opposition will be more apparent
than real, and that after a show of re-
sistance the bill will be permitted to go
through. 1t is also claimed that the
beet sugar Senators have said they
would not resort to flibusterng, nor
would they train with the Democrats
in trying to force a general tariff re-
vision They fear tariff revision, it is
argued more than they fear relief to
Cuba, and will chose the less of the
two evils,
But the temper of the House con-
tinueS unbending. The California Con-
gressmen say with emphasis, that they
cannot go back on the record made on
the Cuban business. They will stick
out for the removal of the diferential
on refined sugar and will vote with the
Democrats against the removal of the
Morris amendment. The best informed
and most impartial observers of the
current of events here believe Cuban re-
lief under the reciprocity scheme is inn
possible at this session, and predict a
move on the part of the Administra-
tons friends in the Senate attempting
to obtain relief for Cuba in some new
form

KNEW KING KALAKAUA

PORTLAND, April 26.--Irving Quin-
cy Tewksbury, a peanut-stand clerk
who has just died at Astoria, was
once the financial adviser of King
Kalakaua of Hawaii. 1t is said that
in the declining years of the King of
the Hawaiian Islands, when his
finances We're in chaos, he looked about
for assistance Tewksbury was a clerk
in the customs department, and by
some coincidence was consulted by the
King and submitted a plan of taxation
by which the fortunes of the royal
house were for the time redeemed.
That is as far as the story goes. How
Tewksbury drifted to Astoria in the
reduced circumstances he was in is un-
known. Letters among his effects tell
his family in Hawaii.

DORIC FROM THE COAST.

The Doric was sighted a few minutes
after p. m. today off KOko Head. She
left San Francisco May /, the same day
that the Sonoma was scheduled to de-
part. The Sonoma should have made
port early this morning. 1t is thought
that perhaps the delay of the SonOma
was due to the failure of the British
mails to reach San Francisco on time.
The Doric should reach the Pacific
Mail wharf about 3 p. m. 1t is not
known now whether she has the mails
