IRISH LANDOWNERS MEET.
Serious Condition Has Resulted From
Act of 1908.

Special Cahlegram TO The Star.
DUBLIN, September 16.-At the recent
convention of the Irish landowners the
Duke Of Abercorn presided The chairman
referred to the report of the executive COM
mittee, in which it was pointed out that
the most pressing matter for consideration
was to try and ascertain what could be
done to solve or improve the situation Gre
ated by the great disparity between the APP
plications for advances under the land act
of 1903 and the funds which had been pro-
yided for meeting these advances. That,
he said was most serious problem, and it
was upsetting the calculation and estl-
mates upon which many hundreds of es-
tates had been practically sold.
The necessity for dealing with ii had long
been recognized by the government, but
their proposals were unfortunately of a
character which would have entaiIed a con-
siderable loss of capital upon any vendors
who accepted them, and consequently a
great majority of vendors naturally viewed
them with disfavor
Worst of all, the government ultima tely
found itself obliged to let the session come
to an end without dealing with the subject
at all. Central financial arrangements
though not publicly embodied in the act
were fully and publicly explained by Mr..
Wyndham in the house of commons, and
were practically approved and accepted as
sufficient and satisfactory by both land
lords and tenants.
The reason why the arrangements were
practically binding ON the government was
that they were made through the treasury
with third partiesthe big financiers OF
London-whose cooperation was always
sought and was indeed necessary in such
transactions
The present position seemed to be that the
government could not obtain more money
for the purposes of the act before next

The second-class cruiser DogaH OF the
italian royal navy is paying this port a
visit. but owing to the fact that she cannot
come into the harbor, she has anchored in
the stream off Alexandria, and visits Of her
officers and men here are to be made either
by the launches of the ship or by rail- from
Alexandria
The Dogalf is lying off the foot of King

drawn a throng of curious people to the
wharves. AS yet no one has been allowed
to visit the Ship but 1t IS expected she will

The vessel has two masts with military
tops in which are rapid-fire guns and her
two smokestacks are in tandem. Her arm
ament consists of six 6-inch rifles. nine g.
Founders. six machine guns and four tor
pedo tubes.
Painted dull gray color, the ship looks
like war-dog as she tugs at her anchor
chains under the influence of the winds and
tides. The Dogali was built at Elswick,
England, in 1886, and was first named the
Satanvina by her English builders. On be-
ing purchased by the Italian government
soon after being launched. many changes
were made in her to add to her fighting
ability and she was renamed the DogaIi

COMMITTED TO THE ASYLUM.
Mrs Margaret Lochte Becomes Violent.
" Insane and Attacks Nurses.

Mrs Margaret Lochte the young woman
who became suddenly insane last Friday
while at Camp Good WILL as stated in The
Sunday Star, was sent to st. Elizabeth s
Hospital for the Insane yesterday after
noon Drs. Kicking and French examined
her at the Washington Asylum Hospital
yesterday and it was upon the strength OF
their certificate that she was committed
to the asylum.
Mrs. Lochte, as heretofore published. Is
thirry-six years old. She lived with her hus-
band and three children at 433 Sd street
northeast. Early last week one of the WIS.,
iting nurses found the woman and her chill
dren in need of a change and they were
taken to Camp Good VIII Thursday after
noon. The following day the mother be-
came violent and showed signs of having
lost her mind. 1t was with some difficulty
that she was restrained until the arrival of
the charity ambulance to remove her to
the hospital.
At the hospital she became much worse
than she was at the camp in the country
and assaulted several of the nurses. She
was so violent at times that the nurses and
attendants had trouble in preventing her
from harn!ng herself or others about her.
Her mania was of religious type and she
continually imagined she was In converse
ton with the Holy Ghost. She screamed at
the top of her voice and frequently endeav-
ored to entertain those about her with re-
iigious hymns. Her condition is serious,
but the doctors think she may improve and
be able to return to her children later.

SAN JUAN HILL E
After Great Battle, the Field Became
a Smiling Farmland and Is
Prettily Planted.

On July l, seven years ago,
when the American army came
upon it out of the jungle the place
wore a partial disguise. 1t still
was an irregular ridge of smiling,
sunny hills with fat, comfortable
curves, and in some places a steep,
straight front, says Richard Har-
ding Davis, in Scribner's. But
above the steepest, highest front
frowned an aggressive block
house, and on ali the slopes and
along the sky line were rows of vel.
low trenches, and at the base O
cruel cats cradle of barbed wire.
1t was like the face of a pretty
woman behind the bars of a visor.
| find that on the day of the fight
seven years ago I cahled my paper
that San Juan hill reminded the
American of "a sunny orchard in
New England" That was how il
may have looked when the regu.
lars were climbing up the steep
front to capture the block house,
and when the cavalry and Rough
Riders, having taken Kettle hill,
were running down its opposite
slope, past the lake, to take that
crest of San Juan hill, which
lies to the right of the block
house. 1t may then have
looked like a sunny New England
orchard, but before night fell the
intrenching tools had lent those
sunny slopes "a fierce and terrible
aspect" And after that, hour
after hour, and day after day, we
saw the hill eaten up by our
trenches, hidden by a vast laundry
OF shelter tents, and torn apart by
bomb-proofs, their jutting roofs
of logs and broken branches
weighed down by earth and stones
and looking like the pitmOuths to
many mines. That probably is
how most of the American army
last saw San Juan Hill, and that
probably is how it best remembers
it-as a fortified camp. That was
seven years ago, When, a few
weeks since, / revisited it, San
Juan hill was again a sunny, smil.
ing farm land, the trenches plant.
ed with vegetables, the roofs of
the bomb-proOfs fallen in and
buried beneath creeping vines, and
