EAST END INTERESTS.
Business Considered at Meeting of
Citizens Association.

The regular monthly meeting of the East
End Suburban Citizens Association was
held at it's hall in Northeast Temple last
night. President William II. Ernest occu-
pied the chair. The first matter taken up
was the report of a meeting of the eXecu
tive committee held at the residence of Mr..
Robert Bowdler the evening of March %,
at which time Senate bill 1901. to require
the Columbia Railroad Company to extend
it's line out Bladensburg road to Mount
Olivet cemetery, was considered. The dis
cuSsion by the committee resulted in the
adoption of resolution favoring the pro-
posed extension of the line. provided the
property owners along Bladensburg road
were willing to dedicate ground for increas-
ing the width of the highway sufficiently
to prevent interference with rural and city
traffic in wagons and other vehicles AS
the committee advocated pla cling the tracks
i'm the middle of the road, ground would
have to be dedicated on both sides. A num-
Der of speeches were made for and against
the project after the report had been laid
be efore the association, the principal objec
tion of its opponents resting upon the pro-
vision making the dedication of land a con-
dition Of the extension. After lengthy
debate, however, it was adopted. Another
feature of the report which was also adopt
ed was that relating to the plan of Repre-
sent tive Mudd of Maryland for recla inning
the Anacostia fats from the Pennsylvania
railroad bridge to the District line.
on sanitary affairs. submitted a report in
which he stated that the sanitary condition
Of the territory covered by the jurisdiction
of the association was in good condition.
A feature of his report which was particu-
larly gratifying was the announcement that
the large pond near the brickyard will soon
be a thing Of the past. The hole. which for
a long time has been regarded as a source
of danger to the health of the community,
is being filled UP. The work, he said, is go
ing rapidly.
The street extension committee reported
that bills had been introduced in Congress
for the opening of r street from Bladens-
burg road to 2Sth street. of 18th street from
r street to NJ street. and of NJ street from
Bladensburg road east to 2sth street.
The secretary was directed to write to
the president of the Northeast Suburban
Citizens Association asking the co-opera-
tion of that organization with this associa-
tion In securing signatures of property own
ers for the widening of BIadensbu-g road.
Two amendments to the constitution were
proposed, which will be taken up at the
first meeting in May. when the annual elec-
tion of officers will occur.

THE STORY OF 4ME CaAUFFI URs.
He Throws Additional Light on the Automo-
bile Accident
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris. Aug~-f6.AThe chauffeur of the
automobile in which Mr. and Mrs. Charles
l.. Fair were killed. whose name is
Brotey, returned to Paris this morning.
In an interview with the correspondent
of the Associated Press he threw some
further light on the cause of the acci-
dent, saying:
'When we left Trouville, Mr. Fair was
suffering from bronchial catarrh. He
coughed frequently on the road and dur
ing the fits of coughing his face was
much congested, evidently producing
slight dizziness. He had just been
coughing when l noticed that the tire
of the hind wheel was Debated. l
realized the danger and jumping to my
feet and leaning forward | shouted in
Mr.. Fairs ear in English, Stop, tire no
good Mr.. Fair glanced back. but he
did not reply. Apparently he tried to
stop, but in doing so he must have made
the wrong steering movement, as the
machine swerved across the road and
went in a straight line for a tree. Mrs.
Fair, as she saw the direction the auto
mobile was taking, clasped her hus-
bands shoulder with her arm and turn
ed her face towards me with look
next moment the crash came and ] was
thrown into a field beside the road and
stunned. When l recovered, which ! did
quickly 1 limped to the side of my
master and mistress and with the help
Of the chateau gatekeeper's wife extri-
Gated the bodies from the wreck"
Asked if either of them showed signs
of life, Brotey replied: They both
seemed to be dead. but l was in such
dazed condition from shock and so affect
ed at the CHASTITY spectacle presented by
the wounds on the heads of both victims
that / did not notice whether either
moved or not. The gatekeepcrs wife
said afterwards that Mr.. Fair moved his
foot and that his wife moved her hand
as they lay on the ground, but 1 did not
see the movements. The woman didn't
say whether Mr.. Fair or his wife stirred
last
The bodies are due to arrive in Paris
at 1855 this afternoon. They will be
deposited in the vault of the Church of
the Madeline until they are shipped to
the United States.

CASTRO STILL HOLDS THE PORT.
Garbled Dispatch Led to Belief That Revolu-
tionists Took Porto CabellO
(By the Associated Prcss.)

Washington, Aug. 15.-Definite informa-
tion was received at the Navy Depart
ment today from Commander Nickels, of
the Topeka dated Porto Cabello, which
corrected the msapprehension which
arose out of the garbled dispatch re-
ceived Thursday last from which the De-
partment assumed and announced that
Porto Cabello had fallen into the hands
of the revolutionists. Acting Secretary
Darling yesterday cabled Commander
Nickels asking whether the Departments
construction was correct. reply re-
ceived today read as follows:
mo. Everything is quiet at Porto Ca
hello. Will sail for Curacao for coal and
stores and start tonight. German man
of-War will remain here during my alb
sence.'
1t is apparent from the above dispatch
that the forces of Castro still hold Porto
Cahello. The Topeka sailed last night
in accordance with advices sent by Com
nander Nickels and according to a dis
patch received today arrived at Curacao,
which is only a few hours run from
Porto Cabello. After taking coal and
supplies aboard he will return to Porto
Cabello and in the meantime the German
WarSnlp VIII look aLLer american, ber-
man and other foreign interests at that
port. The cruiser Cincinnati left Bar
celona last night and arrived at La
Guaira today. Commander Mclean in
reporting his arrival stated tat he had
left everything quiet at Barcelona Both
the Cincinnati and the Marietta are now
at La Guaira.
The United States Minister at Caracas,
Venezuela. has telegraphed the Depart
ment OF State that he has reliable infor-
nation to the effect that there is no
blockade of the ports of Carupano, Caro-
Colorado and Guiria. At Ciudad, Bolivar,
however, the blockade is effective.

pleasure boats of all descriptions hours
before the illumination of the fleet.
At 9 o'clock this evening a rocket was
sent up from the royal yacht, and a mo-
ment later in the dim outline of the
yacht burst out in thousands of incandes-
cent lights. This was the signal for the
hundreds of other ships, and as if by
magic, the entire feet was illuminated
in a great blaze of light. The sudden
change from dusky shadows of battle
ships TO one of electric brilliancy had
a startling effect on the crowds ashore
and atloat and they made manifest their
delight by rounds of cheers.
The lines of the tunnels, masts and up
per decks of the ships were outlined in
the mellow, glowing lines, and the flag
ships by a clear, pale light, mast high.
The brilliant lights of the merchant ships
and pleasure craft added to the splendor
of the maritime fete. simultaneously
hundreds of public and private buildings
ashore were illuminated, while an i'm
posing display of fire. works, varied in
color and form, gave fresh interest to
the carnival.

ONE AGAINST FIVE
Deputy Sheriff Whites Battle
With Escaped ConviCts.
He Holds the Field,
(By the Associated Press. }

Florence, Ala. Aug 16.-Deputy Sheriff
T. s. White, of Waynesboro, Tenn, had
battle with five men supposed to be the
Tennessee penitentiary escaped convicts
at the head of Cypress Creek. twenty
miles north of Florence late yesterday
The men were armed with A Colts pis-
tolls and dressed in blue jumpers.
White saw the men pass near Waynes-
boro coming south and he followed them
on horseback. Coming suddenly upo nthe
men sitting on a lumber pile at a cabin
he opened fire with his pistol at close
range. All five men returned the fire.
and White jumped off his horse, using it
as a protection.
Two men whom White recognized as
Gus Hyatt and John Doe, stood their
ground until their pistols were empty
and then ran down the road and joined
the other three, whom White says he
recognized as Fred Seguin, Robert
Bridge and James Simpson, from photo
graphs sent out by the prison authori-
ties.
White left this morning with Sheriff
Hill and will make another effort to cap
ture the criminals.
