Washington, August l4.-Under date

ter Bowen at Caracas, reports TO the
state department that the situation
there is very critical At the time or
filing his dispatch he had heard moth
ing from the Cincinnati or the Mariei-
ia. He says the sacking OF Barcelona
continues and that much valuable prop
erty is being destroyed.
Minister Bowen in his dispatch says
he lis advised by the United Safes
consul at Barcelona that the reNolu-
tionists are sacking that town, ana
searching private houses. They are
demanding money from foreign resi-
dents in exchange for guarantee OF
safety of lives and property"
At the navy department a cablegram
has been received from Commander
Mclean reporting the arrival OF the
Cincinnati at Barcelona. The Marietta
is at Port of Spain, Trinidad. and is
subject TO the order of Commander

cials) and military officers are in pos
session of entire districts. Some pill
Laying done, but everything now quiet.
Twenty nine business houses sacked.

weeds that Ought to be Cut Down

Wilmington, n. c., August is.
Editor Messenger:
This is not written in a spirit OF cap
tious criticism, nor with d desire TO
stick a peg in anyone's political aspoIa-
tions. It's facts, and being very visi-
BILE facts, it is surprising that the mat
ter should be so entirely overlooked by
those whose business it is TO remedy
the neglect.
Since weeds began to grow, the gutter
on Market, north side, between Third
and Fourth streets, has been obstruCted
by .ank growth. In addition to tneS-,
a brilge in front of Mr.. William H.
Chadbourn's residence, forms perfect
dam when it rains, and causes the wa
ter To seek an out let, either in the mid
die CT the street or on the side wall,
washing out gullieS.
Attention might be given TO the con
ditioI of cutters on the same street,
north side, between Second and Third
streets. The gutter there is obliter1 ed
by sand.
The rank growth of weeds, all over
the streets of the city, suggests the
neglect that is often observed in tho
smallest village that does not boast Or
a sanitary or scavenger system. Such
neglect is the subject of unfavora Die
criticism on the part of our summer
visitors, whose eyes are open to defecrS
as well as to attractions.
There may be a question OF neaith
involved in this condition. OF that,
however, 1 am incompetent to writ.
Respectfully,

Imperial Moustachcs saved.

Usually Mrs. StuyveSant Fish has the
other charter-members of the Four
Hundred at her beck and call Until a
few days ago she had but to announce
an entertainment at her Newport villa
and all the quality would oil up their
autos and rush to the scene
1t made no difference what were the
conditions of attendance. That these
were sometimes peculiar, bizarre, or
even groteSque did not disturb the plu-
tocratic nobility. If MIR. Harry Lehr
suggested that a dance be given in the
Fish barnyard among the chickens and
the cattle, the idea was hailed as an
ingenious relief from the ennui of con-
ventional social functions in high finan-
cial life. If Mrs Fish wished the beau
teouS damSelS in her train to give an
imitation of barefooted French peas
ants pressing grapes by executing a
skirt-dance over the juicy fruit, peals of
acquiescent laughter greeted the an
nouncement. Her great success in ca
tering to the tastes of the select and
critical few must have made her over
confident for the other day she commit
ted a great mistake. She served notice
Of a colonial ball On August 22nd, and
requested that all the gentlemen who
took part in the function go through the
little formality of removing their mus
tacheS before the day mentioned so that
the scene might be realistic as possible.
Now. the lovely men who have their
summer huts at Newport are obliging in
many ways. They will associate with
monkeys if necessary TO please their
hostesses, and they will dance with the
barnyard fowl, but they are much at
tached to such mustaches as they have
cultivated and are not disposed to sac
rifice these hirsute labial decorations TO
please even Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish. So,
the announcemnt of the conditions of
her colonial ball caused the mustache-
owners to lift their facial foliage and
show their pretty teeth in a threaten
manner. Several of the boldest spirits
among them actually asserted that
would not come out on August 22nd il
they had to do so with sheared physiog-
Monies.
If Mrs. Fish thought OF any sarcas-
tic remark in the line Of "all cry and
no WOOL" she had discretion enough to
suppress it. Her ball would never sue
ceed without the presence of Reginald
Van Keenefeller and the Allrichs and
other world-famous posSessors of I'M
derbush on the lip or chin. Finding
that she was boarding the lion in his
den, Mrs. Fish decided to tell the gen.
tleHen who had a horror Of the razor
that she hoped they would not permit
their cherished bristles to keep them
away Peace reignS once more. but
there will probably be a nervous CULVER
ing Of frightened plutocratic whiskers
until after the ball-Norfolk Landmark.

Fourteen thousand two hundred and
fifty dollars is the price the government
offers for the Parsley property in VIII
mington. Congress appropriated S1b.COG
for the purchase of this property to h:
used for wharfage and custom house
purposes. In compliance with this act
the treasury department sent Speciai
Agent Chapman to Wilmington few
days ago to make investigation as TO
the title and value. His report ADVISED
that tht government should only ofsr
$12, ,250 for the Parsley site. This recon-
mendation was made after consioer:nS
the assessed valuation of the pr 'Oerty
and affidavits of citizens with reference
TO its value. Saturday Assistant Secre-
tary Taylor took the matter up and ne
gave a hearing to the local attorneys
representing the Parsley estate. Sec
retary Taylor announced after the
hearing that he would split the differ
ence and make a straight offer Of S14.25O
for the property. The attorney tSe1 o,,sate are
waiting to consult with tnelr cnents
before accepting the eoffer.-WashlngtoE
