The day was hot. In the shade of the
big trees that line the road it was very
hot. In the open it was hotter still.
But the urchins with their improvised
bathing suits didn't mind. Nothing

4 portion of the place. Washington's
bathing beach is as cosmopolitan as any
place of the sort to be found anywhere
in this country. And, when the ex-
tremely little interest which the Gov
ornment manifests in it is considered. it
is certainly one of the most remarkable
places of its kind in the country. This
public bathing place is patronized by
people of all sorts and in all conditions
of life. 1t is the haven of all Washing
ton in the hot summer days and even
ings. From O'Clock in the morning
until sunset, with but brief interval
for luncheon. the place is patronized-
and well patroni1Sd. too. 1t is the bath
ing place for the lady of good family
and breeding. and for the little street
urchin; for the boy or girl who walks
to the beach and goes in wearing a
cheap but neat bathing suit. and for the
young man or woman who drives thither
behind a stately team and takes his or
her dip in a suit of the latest pattern
and finest texture.
On Monday, Wednesday. and Friday
mornings. from to 10 o'clock, ladies'
alone or accompanied by an escort, have
the exclusive use of the beach. Ladies'
have a separate row of bath houses.
which are better, as matter OF fact.
than most of those to be found at Allan
tic City or other seaside resorts. At 10
O'Clock the beach is thrown open to the
general public The ladies are not
obliged to come out at that hour; they
may remain in all day if they wish. But
ii Is then that the men and boys put Il
their appearance, and make things live
ly for the rest of the day.
Three life guards are always in at
tendance to give aid tc any person who
appears to be in danger. They also keep
a close lookout on the ladies' part Of
the beach, TO make sure that they are
not molested in the slightest respect.
Whenever guard is not otherwise en-
gagged, he is always willing to aid
girl or lady to learn to swim.

last night. President Palma said: my
commissioners, Zaldo and Monies, will
sign the reciprocity treaty with Gener-

signed by Secretary Hay and the Gu

to the house of representatives, be-
cause the executive has, with the ap-
prevail of the senate, the right, ac-
cording to the constitution, to make
a treaty which does not affect the tar

tain reductions in the duties from I'M
ports from the United States, but the
tariff on these articles is not chans-

intend to send a message to the SEN

the matter was practically lost and

should be forced into the house it is

ship Leicester Castle from San Fran
cisco arrived here yesterday Her
commander reported that on Sept. 9
three American seamen mutinied ard
Captain Petite and his second officer
were shot, the latter fatally, after an
encounter with the mutineers who left
the ship on raft in mldocean
The captain gave the names of the
mutineers as w. A. Hobbs Earnest
Sears and Turner They @ere all
shipped in San Franclsco
The second officer, Nix, was shot
while attempting to rescuK the cap
tain In the darkness the& mutineers
got few planks and coopA formed a
raft and launched it fror the ship,
which was then about sOOeN niles north
of Pitcairn Islands. The captain
searched for the raft the next day, but
1t was not sighted, andA was sur
missed that it went to pieces,
Captain Pettus added that Hobbs
was the actual murderer of Nixon,
whom he shot through theeheart.
The captain himself was shot twice,
but he had quite recovered when he
arrived here.
When the chief officer discovered
that the three men had snutinied he
mustered the rest of the crew on the
poop, intending to await daylight and
capture the mutineers, but the latter
escaped in the interum.
The captain is unable to account for
the mutiny. He supposes it was the
intention of the mutineers TO murder
the officers and the men who refused
to join them and take the ship to Pit
cairn islands 1t is said Hobbs came
from Illinois, Sears from Idaho and
James Turner from Portland, Ore.
