GOOD EFFECT OF TRAINING.
Dominican Revenue Service Guard
Gives an Exhibition of Courage

Maj. Frank Mcintyre, acting chief of the
fnsular bureau, has received a report from
santo Domingo reciting the dangers that
attend the collection OF customs there The
report confirms earlier telegraphic advices
OF an attack along the Haitian borders by
smugglers on three native frontier guards at
place called Hondo Vale, the night of
August 4, at about 10 o'clock. The fol-
lowing is taken from the communication to
Maj Mcintyre and was written by one OF
the Americans In charge of the customs
collection:
The receivership maintains a small
guard house at the remote point in the
interior mentioned. and the guards on
duty challenged party composed of sew
eral persons thought to be smugglers. The
surmise was correct. for the action on
the part of the guards answered by
the smugglers with a vo.ley from both
Carbnes and small arms.
The guards, only three in number stood
their ground well. and returned the fire
of the attacking party, with the result
that one of the latter was MORALLY wound
ed. After the firing there was found lying
beside him a bundle OF contraband mer
had been carrying. The goods. of course
were conhscated, and will be disposed of
in the usual manner provided by law.
AS result of an investigation which was
ordered oil the affair the name of the dead
was ascertained to be Ascension
Quezada. and those of his companions at
Quezada, Simeon Quezada (all brothers),
Raimundo Bocio and Martin Encarnaclon
all OF whom live In the vicinity known as
Juan de la Cruz, where they have been in
hiding since the night OF the happening.
The action of the guard in the case
mentioned was considered quite commend
able, they were outnumbered and first
fired upon In the darkness. AS a com
mentary on previous work in this branch of
the work of the recevership, 1t is stated
with much PLEASURE that only one year
before from the date mentioned. less one
day, seven of the then native guard aban-
doned five cargoes of captured contraband
upon hearing three shots fired into the air
close TO the point where they CHANGED to
be passing.
DOUBTLESS the effect of training and ex-
ample has become manifest and the eff
cheney of the native guard and its real
worth In the way of protecting the Gus
toms revenue increased"

shrubbery and vines. These front garden
spots greatly enhanced the beauty of the
streets through which the judges passed
and gave the residential section most re-
freshng appearance.
After a careful survey of the territory
the committee unanimously decided that
the first prize should go to Mr.. Herman E.
Blau. whose handsome residence at Rhode
Island avenue and North Capitol street had
its front graced by wealth of flowers and
vines and a weIl-kept green lawn, the whole
surrounded by a green wall of California
prvet. Then there is garden of hydran-
geas, a pretty arrangement of August lilies,

A step toward the general Identification
of Washington and its suburban places was
taken when the members of the North Cap
itol and lexington Citizens Association de-
award cash prizes for the best-kept lawn
and parking spaces in it's territory. AL
though the prizes are small in amount,
they proved to be an incentive. and when a
committee of newspaper men, acting as

the association several days ago to make
the awards they found evidences on all
hands of civic pride in the arrangement and
maintenance of the front spaces, with their

Commissioner Morrow Says Eyes"

May Be Suit.

The District Commissioners may have a
lawsuit on their hands in connection with
the construction of the Arizona avenue
sewer. Brandenburg & Brandenburg, at
torneys for William J. Dante, have served
notice on the District heads that the sewer
is being constructed on private property
known as Foundry Branch or the Green
Spring tract, and that unless work Is
stopped at once the District government
will be held liable for damages.
Notwithstanding this Commissioner Nor
row has recommended to his colleagues
that the sewer building continue and that
chances be taken on a suit.
TT would be difficult to establish" says
Mr. Morrow, that any damage in the way
of trespass has been done by the District.
When the charge was first made the mat
ter was referred to the surveyor OF the
District, who reported that, according to
the records. Arizona avenue was dedicated
to the District through the Green Spring
property. There is nothing in this office
to indicate anything wrong with the dedi-
cation" he says in his report. although

so far as the District had such, has been

TO Be CALLED The new YORK
NAME FOR THE NEW 2O,OOO-TON
BATTLEsHIP CHOSEN.
Armored Cruiser Bearing the Same
Designation Will Be Known
as the Saratoga.

The Navy Department has practically de-
cided to christen the great 20,OO0 ton battle
ship No. % sister ship to the Delaware,
the New York. This can be effected by
changing the name of the present armored
cruiser called the New York to the Sara
toga.
No. - has been left unnamed up to this
moment because of the act of Congress re-
quirng battleships to bear the names of
states, and there were but two such names
available. Utah and North Dakota. 1t
was felt at the Navy Department that
neither of these states, by reason of popu-
lation or development could properly lay
claim to the finest ship in the navy.
Secretary Newberry's Decision.
Acting Secretary Newberry in considering
this matter had his attention attracted to
tie fact that the famous old frigate Saratoga
had been condemned and her name had
been ordered stricken from the naval list.
He regarded it as a misfortune that the
American navy should thus lose a name
that had been covered with glory in the
early DAYS of the history of the country, so
it occurred to him that it might be posi-
BILE to keep within the terms OF the act OF
Congress relative to the naming of battle
ships by transferring the name of the Sara
toga to another ship already on the naval
list
1t 80 happened that the people of the
Empire state, while proud of the achieve
ments of the vessel that had served as the
flagship of Admiral Sampson during the
Spanish war, were by no means Satshed
that the name of their state should be
borne by vessel short of the very highest
order of naval architecture. So by trans
ferring the name of the Saratoga to the
present armored cruiser New York the
Navy Department will be able to use the
latter name for the unchristened battle
ship No. - which undoubtedly represents,
in design. size and power, the very highest
development in American naval construc-
ton.
The Original Saratoga.
The original Saratoga won distinction as
a flagship in the famous battle of Lake
Champlain, and naval officers are fond of
recalling the markable resourcefulness
shown by the commander of the ship in
that action, which is taught every midship-
man in the Naval Academy. The battle
was fought in a dead calm, and the Sara
tOga lay at anchor; in fact, the captain
had placed an anchor on each side. So
when it happened that after every gun on
the starboard side had been rendered use
less by the enemy's fire, and the last piece
had been, by violent recoil, dismounted
and thrown clean down the hatchway, the
captain by the use of the capstan swung
the vessel on her anchors and was able
to bring into action the guns on the port
side and thereby win the battle
