THE CUBAN TREATY SIGNED.
1t Provisions, SuccinctIy Stated,
Cover the PIatt Amendment.
TWO SUBJECTS YET REMAIN.

Washington, May 25 - Minister
Squiers has been at work for several
months in the negotiations with the
Cuban government which were con-
cluded by the signing of the permanent
treaty, which includes, word for word,
the provisions of the Platt amendment.
This amendment was made part of
the army appropriation act of the sec
ond session of the Fifty-sixth congress.
1t, therefore, became law of the Uni
ted States.
Later it was added by the Cubans as
an appendix to the constitution
adopted by them. Its incorporation
into the form of a treaty is in accord
ance with provision s of the amend
ment which specifies that "by way of
further assurance, the government OF
Cuba will embody the foregoing pro-
visions into permanent treaty with
the United States"
These provisions, succinctly stated,
are as follows:
'Cuba is never to enter into any
treaty or other compact with any for
eign power which will impair or tend
to impair it's independence.
''The government is not to assume or
contract any public debt to pay the
interest upon which and to make rea-
sonable sinking fund provision for the
ultimate payment of which the reve-
nues of the island, after paying the
government expenses, shall be made
quate.
"Cuba consents that the United
States may intervene for the preserva-
ton of Cuban independence.
Cuba ratifies all acts of the United
States in Cuba done during the mill
tary occupation.
Cuba will make provision for the
sanitation of the cities of the island, to
the end that a recurrence of epidemic
and infectious diseases may be pre-
vented"
While the permanent treaty mem
toned by Minister Squiers contains
the provisions of the Platt amendment
regarding the Isle of Pines, the ac-
quisition of coaling stations by the
United States, the final settlement of
these questions, which will involve the
ownership of the Isle of Pines, and the
specific location of the coaling station,
will be made the subject of special
treaty or treaties between the United
States and Cuba.

The original order establishing Me-
mortal day is as follows:
Headquarters Grand Army OF the Re
public, Adjutant Generals Office, 44b
Fourteenth Street.
Washington, D. c., May 5, 1868.
General Order No. IL:
l. The 30th day Of May, 1858, IS
designated for the purpose of strewing
flowers or otherwise decorating the
graves of comrades who died in de-
tense of their country during the late
rebellion, and whose bodies now lie
in almost every city, village and ham,
let churchyard in the land. In this OBJ
seryance no form or ceremony is pre-
scribed, but posts and comrades Will
in their own way arrange such hitting
services and testimonials OF respect as
circumstances may permit.
We are organized, comrades, as our
regulations tell us, for the purpose,
among other things, "of preserving
and strengthening those kind and fra
ternal feelings which have bound to-
gether the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines who united to suppress the late
rebellion" What can aid more to as
sure this result than cherishing ten
derby the memory of our heroic dead,
who made their breasts barricade
between our country and its foes!
Their soldier lives were the reveille OF
freedom of race in chains, and their
deaths the tattoo of rebellious tyranny
in arms. We should guard their graves
with sacred vigilance. All that the
consecrated wealth and taste OF the
nation can add to their adornment ana
security is but fitting tribute to the
memory of her slain defenders. Let
no wanton foot tread on such hallowed

Two Proposals.

The ruling idea of any mind as
sumes the foreground of thought, and
after Arenta's marriage the dominant
desire of George Hyde was to have his
betrothal to Cornelia recognized and
assured He was in haste to light his
own nuptial torch, and afraid every
day of that summons to England which
would delay the event.

He opened his secretary and sitting
resolutely down, began letter to DR..
Moran. He poured out his heart and
desires, and then he read what he had
written. 1t would not do at all. 1t
was a love letter and not business
letter. He wrote another, and then
another. When he had finished read

with himself.

the company, the attest being by Mr.. Nc"
Kenzie, as secretary.

square yard. and three-inch asphalt block
on five-inch concrete base at $50
square yard. It is stipulated that not over
base at this figure. The estimated amount
of work to be done during the year is 25,O0O
square yards, making the contract worth
about $45, 600.
1t Is stated that Mr.. Mckenzie in the
office of auditor will not have as much time
to attend to his outside interests as hereto
fore and that he has been arranging his
personal affairs with that idea in view dur
ing the past few days prior to taking the

NOT AN EIoPEMENr.
Denial Of Certain Published Statements
Regarding q Marriage,

Mr.. and Mrs. William Hellmuth, an &C
count of whose marriage in Baltimore was
published yesterdays in The Star. have re-
turned to their home in this city. Mrs. He'll
muth declared today that their marriage in
the monumental city was not the result of
an elopement. Further. the bride and groom
are indignant because of the publication OF
what they charge to be erroneous state
ments emanating from Baltimore concern
ing the event Mrs. Hellmuth states that
there was no objection on the part of their
relatives and friends to the wedding. They
arranged that the ceremony should be per-
formed in Baltimore, she explained, merely
because they desired the wedding to be
quiet one and free from display. Certain OF
the published statements relative to their
visit to Baltimore she considered to be re-
fecting upon their intelligence. She declares
the wedding was quiet one. and that the
numerous incidents recited in the publica-
ton were drawn altogether from the fmagi-
nation Of the Baltimore party who orgl-
mated the story.

Charles Jones, colored. appeared before

several slashes about the face, which, he
said, were inflicted yesterday evening with
a razor in the hands of Mrs Matilda Gun
NELL colored woman, living on Virginia
avenue southwest Mrs Gunnel was ac-
companied to court by her husband. a
white man.
In telling his story of the ARRAY Jones
swung his hands like a campaign orator
and pounded upon the bar of justice with
his fist so strenuously that the court was
obliged to request him to give his testi-
mony minus the gymnastics.
Jones said he endeavored to prevent a
fight between the Gunnell woman and his
sister-in-law, whereupon, he said. the pris-
oner proceeded to shave him up in an I'M
ceremonious manner with the razor. Sew
eral other witnesses corroborated Jones'
testimony. and the court held Mrs. Gunnell

SAILOR ACQUITTED.
The Evidence Against Him Was Large
" Circumstantial.

Bostwick Whitman. alias Ernest Will
liams a colored sailor on the Topeka, which
came here in order that her crew might
participate in the Fourth Of July parade,
was before Judge Scott in the Police Court
yesterday to answer to a charge of lar
ceny.
John G. Lewis, proprietor of a saloon on
Pennsylvania avenue. told the court that
Williams came into his establishment about
9:3O o'clock the night of July 2, and got two
dozen bottles of beer. Lewis alleged that
Williams gave him new one-cent piece
for s. gold piece in payment for the beer,
and that he took the money by mistake,
giving the colored man $3.50 in change.
1t was stated on the stand that Williams
had been paid off few days before the
date of the occurrence, and that he had
been given s. gold piece by the paymas-
ter.
The evidence of the prosecution partook
much of the circumstantial that the
court declined to be convinced that Will
liams was the guilty party, and he was dis
missed.

Public Ice Water.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

The torrid heat of the past week, combined
with the unfiltered lukewarm water trick
ling from the cities public fountains, have
suggested reform which seems to be
practical and certainly would prove beneti-
cent. To particularize: The establishment
Of public Ice water fountains. AS an exper-
iment. let the idea be put into practical
operation at the corner of 7th street and
Pennsylvania avenue, or even more proper
ly In the south, east and southwest por-
lions of the city, where humanity suffers
most during the heated portions of the year.
The machinery requisite would be SIM
pie In construction and easily within the
comprehension of an army of artisans; the
Ice by contract Tin the gross) could be OBJ
tanned for fraction of it's present proper
tional cost; and the charge and supervision
of the undertaking could be assigned to
either the Salvation Army, or a committee
designated by the local w. C. T. U.
The establishment of such fountains
would prove a wholesome check upon the
corner saloon, where beer is frequently pur-
chased for it's mere refreshing GOODNESS, and
would reach a class who have neither ice
nor the means of keeping same when con-
tributed. Again, there are thousands OF
Self-reSpecting people who shun publicity
and decline to make their necessities
known. Even organized charity does not
reach them. They seke out forlorn exist
ence. explemplifying the words of the poet;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives Of the poor
A pitcher of ice water taken to their
abode as frequently as necessity required
would soothe many a parched throat or
cool fevered brow. It would do more in
reminding those who enjoyed the privilege,
of the humanity of their more fortunate
fellows than all the sermons ever preached
or the temperance tracts ever published.
To be quite frank, it is fact known to
those who come in actual contact with the
poor that they are not very deeply i'm
pressed with general reform methods in
vogue They are prone to speak bitterly
OF the wines which grace the club and the
tables OF the rich; the officers mess and
the private purchase of liquors and liquids
for individual and private consumption in
army quarters, while upon Them and the
private IN the ranks. falls the heavy hand
of restrictive law. Let us be sane. To
grant to others the rights we claim for
ourselves is only reasonable; to do less is
TO write ourselves down mental weaklings
or self-convicted hypocrites.
