Money Appropriated as Donaticn When
Paid Loses Character as
Public Money.

An appropriation by Congress as a
contribution or donation when once
paid to the person or persons designated
N the act loses its character as public
money and the Government has nothing
more to do with it.
This was the substance of the decision
rendered today by the Comptroller of
the Treasury in connection with the
appropriation for the purpose Of assist
ing in the erection of a monument in
Brooklyn, N Y, TO the memory of the
soldiers and sailors. OF the Colonial
armies who perished upon British prison
ships in New York harbor during the
revolutionary war.
Monument to Cost 100000.
Congress made an appropriation Of
100000 TO this end under the public
resolution of June. 80, 1902, upon condi-
tion that $4,000 additional should be
raised by private subscription and pub
lie appropriation in New York STATE and
New York city. The monument was to
be erected in Fort Green Park, Brook
l.n, at a cost Of 100000, under the
supervision of a commission composed
Of the Secretary OF War, the governor
of New York, and the mayor OF New
AoAh City OOA- w L. -ldA SIlellls VI t4AI
Corps of Engineers, was made disburs-
ing officer of the commission, which
was duly organized and Incorporated.
The conditional 100000 to be raised in
fsew York was obtained after some hard
work On the part OF the persons inter-
eSted in the movement. The Govern
ment appropriation then became avail
able and was turned over To Colonel
Marshall. AS Colonel Marshall vas an
army officer, General Mackenzie, chief
of engineers, asked the Comptroller for
a decision upon the question as TO
whether or not "the accounts of the
Prison Ship Martyrs Commission must
be audited by the United States"
Comptroller TraceweH dismissed the
ease in the following language:
No Longer Public Money.
'The amount was appropriated as a
contribution or a donation, and when
once paid to the persons set out loses
its character as public money"
Under this ruling disbursing officers
of all enterprises which are assisted by
appropriations from the United States.

provides for Treasury supervision, may

CUBAN REBELS BADLY BEATEN.
Guerra Defeated by Avalos and Paez
Force by Armored Train.

Camp of Government Forces,

Sept. 10.-The hottest fights of the
revolution occurred last night and
this morning between the forces of
Colonel Pine Guerra and General

General Diaz, says a special cable to
the New York Herald.
In this double battle the rebels
were signally defeated. General
Avalos captured Consolation del Sur
and rescued General Diaz's forces In
the armored train, who were sur
rounded, thus effecting a juncture
with them and driving the rebels to
the hills.
One guard was killed and six
wounded The rebels lost many
killed and wounded by the Ameri-
cans, under Captain Webster. They
saved the train, moving down
many of the Paez forces that, after
three fierce charges, the latter kept
at a distance, but surrounded the
cars, firing Intellectually all night.
The men on the train feared being
starved out.
Wires were cut and road fighting
was begun on Saturday afternoon.
An attack was made on General
Diazs train, the train being am
bushed.
There were three hundred Rural
Guards in the train, with a battery
In an armored car at each end. The
batteries consisted of two automatic
quick firing guns. They made it i'm
possible to reinforce the Paez
troops, which were estimated at sew
eral hundred
In the meantime General Avalos,
approaching from the west with four
hundred men, was engaged by Colo
mel Guerra in a severe conflict at
Consolation at seven o'clock, and
soon routed the rebels. The PaeZ
forces then retired from the train
and bolted The rebel forces escaped
to the hills. Senior Monte visited the
train in the afternoon. The Ameri-

Scientist Strongly Commends Mrs
Decker's Views on Race Suicde

Denver, Sept. 11.-Mrs. Sarah

who recently took issue with Presi-
dent Roosevelt's demand for more
children, is receiving letters COM
mending her claim, that it is Of
greater Importance to a nation aim.
Ing at mental, moral and physical
progress to have a thoroughbred
progeny than to have the highest
possible number born without regard
to their parentage. All these letters
so far are from men.
One writer, evidently a physician
and scientific student, rejoices at the
prospects that the question of race
suicide and race progress will now
be more generally discussed. He saws
there has been quiet discussion for
some time among scientific men who
believe that imbeciles, degenerates
and sick persons should be weeded
out and forbidden to marry, and that
a movement is on foot to bring the
matter before Legislatures and Con-
gress. He indorses Mrs. Decker's
view that there should be a sufficient
period of courtship before marriage.
so that the parties might determine
satisfactorily whether they really
love each other and are properly
mated.
One letter is from a young man
who says he has determined he will
not marry, even should he fall in
love, till he is sure his marriage will
aid in the progress of the race. He
says he has not yet found a partner
of that kind.
