BALTIMORE FOR DEMOCRATS.
]. Barry MahOoI Chosen For Next Mayor Of
The Monumental City.

yesterdays election in Baltimore
was of more or less interest through
out the State, and of more than usual
interest in Annapolis. The telegraph
and telephone wires were kept hum
ming with messages and inquiries
last night about the election returns.
The Capital was informed of the
returns through the courtesy of the
Baltimore News, and the many friends
and patrons of the Capital, who call
ed up the phone of this Office through
out the evening for the Baltimore
election returns were able to get them
satisfactorily in this manner. The re-
suit of the election yesterday was to
put the control of the municipal gov
ernment for the next four years COM
pletely in the hands of the Democratic
party through the election of its can
didates for Mayor, President of the
Second Branch of City Council and
Comptroller, together with n majority
in both branches of the Council.
Although this is in the nature Of a
sweeping victory, carrying with ii all
the substantial fruits of big party
triumph, the overwhelming confidence
of the Democratic leaders and party
men generally, based upon the har-
monious condition of their forces
and the excellence of their ticket,
was such that the majority for the
Mayoralty candidate surprised them
by its comparative smallness.
Mr.. j. Barry Mahool, Democrat,
will be the next mayor of Baltimore.
lie defeated Mayor II. Clay Timanus
by 4,63S majority. He received as, 234
votes. Mayor Timanus received
43, 500. Mr.. George N. Numsen,
Democrat, will be president of the
Second Branch City Conncil. He de-
feated Samuel I'll. Tattersall, Repub-
lican. Mr.. Harry f. Hooper, Demo-
crat, will be the next comptroller.
He defeated George X. Heffner, Re
publican. Mayor Timanus led his
colleagues ON the ticket.
Both branches of the City Council
will be controlled by the Democrats.

Denies Claim to Leadership

Editor of Evening Capital:
was amused to read in your valu-
able paper of yesterday about my try
ing to take the leadership of the Re-
publican party in Annapolis out of the
hands of n Mr.. Randall and w. c..
Tuck. Now someone has made n mis-
take, as / do not want the aforemen-
toned leadership. Then the 'Mr.
Randall" mentioned in your paper
should be mentioned more distinctive
ly. Which "Mr. Randall do you
refer to? There are some persons who
leave home in time of war but make
it convenient to return after the
smoke of battle has cleared.
Now we have never done this.
We believe in staying at home and if
necessary going down to defeat with
our party while working for her.
would advise the gentleman to take n
dose of medicine. In reference TO w.
q. Tuck, he has been so long in the
'lead'' that apparently none need
ever try to succeed him.
Let the majority of my party NOM
mate those they see fit and then we
will do al INCUR power 10 elect the
same.
Respectfully,

BRILLIANT SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
HEADQUARTERS.

AlarianaO, Of which we have spoken
So often in these letters, is the head
quarters on the Island of the Ameri-
can Army Of Cuban Pacification. II
Is reached from Havana either by
electric cars which pass Camp Column
bia. or by rail and steam cars from
the COncha station. II is one. of the
many places near Havana TO which ex-
cursion parties are taken by hote !
guides and interpreters.
Narianao is situated on an elevated
ridge ten miles west of Havana, and
il Is favorite residential section in
tine summer months for many aristo-
cratic Cuban families. 1t has many
handsome residences and villas, and
one Of its objects of interest is the
stately palace which was occupied by
General Fitzhugh Lee when lie was
military Governor here. One of the
streets is named for him and is called
General Lee.
The Army officers club at Mariana
is q very attractive building, strictly
spanish i'm architectural design and
construction. Here many social fune-
tions are given, one of which is la
dies day. Every Wednesday after
noon, tea is given, at which
the army women. their guests and
friends, are invited. These are very
pleasant little affairs, and it was
our pleasure To be a guest at one of
these Wednesday afte ernoon teas at the
officers Club at Marianao.
Another social function we attended
here was large ball and reception
given in honor of Captain Boyer, U.
$. ~, then the commanding officer OF
the T.. S. $. Columbia, stationed III
Havana harbor. This was a very
elaborate social event. The decora
tions were handsome, and garden an0
patio were beautifully lighted with
numerous Japanese lanterns. In the
receiving party was lady well
known in Annapolis-or rather two o
them Mrs. Scales, wife of Lieut..
Commander Scales, u. 5. NJ, at tha
time the second officer in command
on the 4. $. 5. Columbia. formerly
stationed at the Naval Academy, and
Mrs. Moses, wife of MAJOR Moses. L.,

to the Marine Barracks, Naval Acad-

Both of these ladies were in the re

PROFESSOR VALDEZ DISMISSED.
Persons In Philippines Charged lie Skipped
Bond In Pending Libel Suit.

In the absence OF Superintendent
Sands, who is in Washington on official
business, the authorities at the Naval
Academy this morning declined in any
way TO discuss the recent dismissal OF
Professor Vincente Garcia Valdez
from the department sof modern lam
guages. The matter is now in the
nands OF the authorities at the Navy
Department. in Washington, and Pro-
fessor Valdez is now in that city, hay-
ing Appealed 10 Secretary Metcalf for
Reinstatement.
Mr.. Garcia Valdez. who is of Span
ish birth, lived for many years in
the Philippines and married into one
Of the wealthiest families there. lie
also started small newspaper, bear
ing the suggestive name of "Meow.
which soon created a sensation in the
archipelago and brought the editor
into trouble with the authorities.
Mr.. Valdez was convicted of libel
and, it is charged, left the islands
abruptly while under bond for n new
trial, and, coming TO this country,
was engaged as a Spanish instructor
at the Naval Academy. Ills enemies,
however, pursued him, and when the
conditions under which he left the
Philippines became known the author
tiles at the Academy felt Obliged to
recommend his dismissal. although it
was admitted that he was very eff
eient teacher. Valdez, it is under
stood, claims TO be able TO show that
he is victim of persecution at the
hands of his father-in-law and his in.
huential Filipino friends, and that he
was obligehd to flee the islands be-
cause he knew he could notexpeet JUS
tIce.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Valdez recently came into prominence
in this, country when he offered to
give a quart of his blood for infusion

him, but who was dying i'm a Newark,

nations from the public and charitable
subscription and finally the amount
was sufficient 10 purchase lot 40

TO be worth fully $500. The trustees
of the original school were Mrs. Flora
Johnson Todd, Miss Lucy Harwood.

proposed to make an attempt to again
secure the old lot and build an indus
trial school and To appoint new trus-
tees and leading women of Annapolis

industrial school here. Pendleton,
who is a graduate of Hampton Indus
trial School, Virginia, will enlist
the interest Of DR.. Frizell, head of
that school, and a classmate of PEN
dleton, and also appeal to Booker L.

An Opportunity For The Citizens Of An.
naPoIiS TO Visit The Exposition And
See Much at Small Cost.
THE STUDENTS ANTICIPATE A
PLEASANT OUTING.

Arrangements have been made with
the authorities of st. Johns College,
and those of the jamestown Exposi-
tion for the battalion of st. Johns
College cadets TO encamp at the James
town Exposition grounds the week OF
June 3.
Heretofore the ST. Johns College
battalion has held its annual eucamp-
ment at Tolchester, but this year, i'm
order To give the college cadets an
oportunity TO SEQ the Exposition and
because of inducements held out, the
annual college encampment will be
held at Jamestown. The battalion
will leave here ON Monday, June 3,
on the steamer Susquehanna, of the
Tolchester Steamboat Company's
line, and will make day trip to
jamestown, going direct TO the docks
at the Exposition grounds.
Major w. A. Thompson has arranged
all preliminaries for the college
cadets, and the battalion will occupy
the tents on the Exposition grounds
of which there are thousand for use
of military companies who will en-
camp there the next few months.
Quartermaster Hecht, of the college
battalion, is arranging details In his
department for the trip. The oppor-
tunity is offered for Annapolitans to
see the Exposition for a very little
money. The trip from Annapolis will
cost 81 80, and there will probably not
be another opportunity offered this
summer To visit the Exposition at
Jamestown for such little money.
Everybody from Annapolis and
Anne Arundel county who desires To
take the trip to jamestown this sum
mer will do we'll to consider the ad-
vantages this opportunity affords to
go direct from Annapolis To James
town for Sl.50. Any one contemplate

The Direct System of Nominating.

Messrs. Editors:
A great number of arguments have
been adduced to induce the democracy
of Annapolis and Anne Arundel coun-
ty to adopt the direct voting system
of nominating candidates in this city
and county; but the strongest and
most convincing reason was given by
the election in Baltimore yesterday.
Had not the healing balm of the di-
rect system of nominating been ap-
piled to the sore dissensions in the
Democracy of the Monumental City,
the slender majority of Mr.. Mahool
would have been wiped out and Mr..
Timanus would again be Mayor : OF
Baltimore. The democracy of Annap-
oils and Anne Arundel will do well
to take heed to this object lesson.
The strong independent vote all
through Maryland requires to be sat
isfied now mot only in men, but in
methods. ELIHU S. .sRILEY.

Upon such occasions the Governor
