DUST OBSCURES CHARGE

HALLE. Sept. 10.-The cavalry charge
during today's army manevvers was a
furious one. and it is thought that sew
Kaiser saw that the Saxons were out
maneuvering the Prussians. he took all
the cavalry from the Saxons over to the
Prussians.
The Saxon advance was thus stopped
by their own cavalry. led by the Kaiser.
The result was that the Saxon officers
became enraged at his majesty. and
elegant.
During the Kaiser's charge many were
unhorsed, and the ambulances were kept
busy.
Blinded by the Dust.
No details have as yet been obtained,
as the immense force threw up such
clouds of dust that it was impossible for
the troops to see even the direction
In which they were going. AS result
of this one of the-attacks was delivered
at a point where no enemy was present.
The umpires, nevertheless, declared the

II is known that inspectors have been

1t has been admitted by Mr.. Payne
and others that two OF the indictments
are against men who have already been

Beavers and Machen. The subjects OF
the other four indictments have given
rise to any number of rumors. Fully a

WATER RENT EQUITY"
AGAIN ILLUSTRATED
FlagrantCase Showing How
Present System Works.
LOSS EXCEEDS JUST RENT
Tenant Compelled to Pay Full Years
Rate for Two Houses, Though Only
Few Months in Either.
LOSS EXCEEDS JUST RENT

A complaint regarding the water rent
west presents an apparent absence Of
equity and seems to involve a principle
which. il adopted and commended. pre-
cludes anything like justice in the mat
ter of water rents
The house IN question IS FIVE stories
high. and the water rent demanded by
the District is si4.50 per annum. payable
in advance. The tenant who occupied
the premises on July 1, when the rent
became due for the ensuing year. an
noHnced his intention of vacating Sep
tenber Is, and declined TO pay rent for
the entire year
Deaf Ear to His Plea.
The tenant maintained that as his oe-
cupancy would be only OF two and
half months duration, he should not be
made to pay for twelve months. Thu
water Office turned deaf ear 10 this
argument. and threatened TO cut of the
supply. With this alternative. the rent
was paid.
Now the tenant finds that the prem
ises he is about to occupy have been
vacant since July. and that he must pay
IS. so. the full rent. or be denied water
from the District in his new home. In
brief. he must pay S23 water rent for
two premises. when he will use. accord
ing to the Districts estimate. .65 worth.
Two months and a half in one house
represents about So. and nine and a haIf
months in the other house represents
about 1855. The loss represented is
s13.35. which must be paid before any
water will be furnished.
Owner Should Pay Rent.
The Commissioners have repeatedly
asserted that the system is as equitabIr
as any human Institution can be, but
this particular case has caused much
con ment. A complete remedy has been
charged to the premises. in fact. aud
not in theory. and that the owner and
not the tenant be made to pay the rent
when IL becomes due. The tenant can
then make whatever arrangements are
suitable with the landlord. the District
we'll get its money promptly. and there
will be no ground for criticising the ad-
ministration of public affairs.
Under such an arrangement a tenant
would be required TO pay. say s75 per
month rent for his house. and 1925 per
month water rent. Should he decide
10 move from one house 10 another, he
would have to pay for the portion of the
time he occupied either house, and not
the full annual rental for both houses.
as seems TO be the case al present.

deem such legislation demanded, not
only by our interest, but by our honor.
We cannot, with proprlety, abandon the
course upon which we have so wisely
embarked. When the acceptance OF
the Platt amendment was required
from Cuba by the action OF the con-
gress OF the United States. this govern
ment thereby definitely committed It.
self TO the policy OF treating Cuba as
occupying a unique position as regards
this country.
II was provided that when the island
became a free and independent repub-
lie she should stand In such close re-
lations with us as in certain respects
to come within our system Of inter-
national policy; and It necessarily fol-
lowed that she must also, to certain
degree, become included within the
lines of our economic policy.
Situated as Cuba is, II would not be
wise for this country to permit the
strategic abuse of the island by any
foreign military powers, 1t is for this
reason that certain limitations have
been imposed upon her financial policy,
and that naval stations have been con-
ceded by her to the United States. The
negotiations as to the details Of these
naval stations are on the eve OF COM
pletion. They are so situated as to
prevent any idea that there is the in
tention ever to use them against Cuba,
or otherwise than for the protection
OF Cuba from the assault of foreign
foes and for The better safeguard of
American interests in the water south
of us.
These interests have been largely In
creased in consequence of the war with
Spain, and will be still further increas-
ed by the building of the lsthmian
canal. They are both military and
economic,
The granting to us by Cuba of the
naval stations, above alluded to, is OF
the utmost Importance, from military
standpoint, and Is proof of the good
faith with which Cuba is treating us.
Cuba has made great progress since
her independence was established. She
has advanced steadily In every way.
She already stands high among her
sister republics of the new world, she
Is Loyalty observing her obligations TO
us; she is entitled TO like treatment
by us.
