sioners Today.

The engineers of the Washington Ter
minal Company today submitted to the Dis
trict ommissionersd detailed plans for the
construction of the subways In connection
with the new, unfoR railroad terminal pro-
ject, concerning which there has been so
much discussion within the past few
months. The plans have been placed in
the office of Col. John Biddle, Engineer
Commissionap snd Aths officials of the en-
gineer department Of the District have been
btfsify engaged. today in studying the draw

road lengineers}
Col Biddle declined to give a description
Of the piafl, Of subway construction as pro-
posed by the railroad engineers, and said
that no action will he taken on the plans
by the Commissioners until after the draw
ings have been gone over In conference
with the railroad engineers. Although the
plsns submitted today are not open for in
spectiong to the public, yet it Is understood
that the drawings embody the railroad en-
g1neers IDEAS of subway construction
which have been made known to the Com
missioners In previous discussions Of the
subject, and which have not been favor
ably received by the District authorities.
1t Is understood the plans submitted today

that the terminal company will begin pro-

berIng 10000 men, left Chinampo on
eighty-three transports May L. The sol
diers were crowded on board the vessels IN
the closest manner. one ship having 3,soo
men on board. So closely were they packed
between decks that exercise was impossible
and very little air was obtainable. but in
spite of these discomforts there was no
grumblIng.
Every precaution was taken to prevent
news of the departure of the army from
leaking out. The residents of Chinampo
were strictly disciplined and no one was al
lowed to enter or leave the town. Three
Americans, however, succeeded in escaping
from Chnampo on board junk. Twelve
days later they reached Chemulpo.
