ing in hay loft. This is the second

ALTHOUGH an expensive, it was n
wise move made by the Alexandra
Water Company in securing the land in
Fairfax county along Holiness run from
which stream a large part of the water
supply of this city is obtained. The OBJ
iects of the company were not only to
meet the increasing demand for water,
but to preserve its purity, for as the
country along the stream is becoming
rapidly settled the danger of cOntamina-
ton is apparent. The company is ever
mindful of the necessity of full and
pure water supply for the city and will
use every endeavor to maintain both.
1t is the intention of the company, it is
understood, to strip the land which
drains to the stream to remove anything
Objectionable upon it and to prevent as
far as possible anything deleteriOus from
washing into the water course. A dam
Is to be co. ,ructed at tue old Bancroft
mill site where a storage reservoir will
be constructed and if necessary water
can be piped by the gravity system
from that site to the company's reser-
voirs west OF the city. With such RE-
serve supply and with the present power
plant and reservoirs, the people of Alex
andria need give themselves no concern
as to their water supply. 1t is under
stood that the proposed extension and
improvements to the water system will
ultimately cost the company in the
neighborhood of $3.50, 600.

MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. 7, 1903.
4 FEW YEARS ago the United States

A FEW YEARS ago the United States
was convuIsed by news ofterrible crueltIes
inflicted upon the Cubans by Spaniards,
and the newspapers contained pictures
Of pyramids of human bones, camps OF
emaciated women and children, indigni-
ties to females and other revolting scenes
ALLEGED to have been the result OF
Castilian rule. The flames were fed IN
iii this country was forced into sense
less war. Spanish rule in Cuba was
broken and another republic set up on
This side of the Atlantic. Human
tarians, phfanthropists, enthusiasts and
others are now inhaming the world with
ALLEGED Turkish atrocities for the pur-
nose of forcing the Moslems out OF
Europe. The movement is destined TO
succeed sooner or later, although mort
nations of Europe are endeavoring to
delay the event as long as possible. Ihe
most extravagant stories of Turkish bar
barities are being circulated throughout
the civilized world. Bulgarians are said
to he the victims. According to the
stories of correspondents published in
Yesterdays papers, the Bulgarian inhabi'
tants of Macedonia, whoit is claimed are
now being slaughtered with nameless ac'
commandments OF barbarity by the Sui
tan's soldiers, are in hundreds OF cases
nupils of the American missionary
schools, just as were those Armeman'
who suffered death at the same hands.
Every effort is being made to drag the
limited States into the vortex which Is
forming in and near the Bosphorus, bnI
it is hoped by all sobersided people Oh
this side of the Atlantic that this country
will keen on the edge ofthe storm centre
until the tempest has blown out VIVA
i known as the Pro-Armenian alliance
which Aourished during the Armenian
massacres of nearly 10 years ago is to be
revived through the efforts of Mr.. X. ;.
Tharin. of Washington, who is now cor
responding with former leaders of the
crusade with a view to the formation OF
branches of the alliance throughout this
country. A bill will be introduced in
the next Congress providing for inter
vention in the Balkan question by the
United States.
