AGED RESIDENT DEAD
CAPT. WIN. E. STUART SUCCUMBs
TO DRoPsY.

Capt. VIM. E. Stuart, one of the oldest
and best known business men of the city,
died at the George Washington University
Hospital yesterday evening of dropsy, after
an illness of several months. The funeral
services will be held in the chapel at Lees
undertaking rooms on Pennsylvania avenue
tomorrow afternoon at O'Clock, and the
fnterment will be in Mt. Olivet cemetery.
Capt, Stuart was a native of this city,
having been born in the southwest section
in March, 1881. His long life was spent
in Washington and he numbered his ac-
quaintances and friends by the hundred,
Early in life he entered the fish-handling
business on the Potomac, and for over half
century was actively engaged in the trade,
and, with one exception, was the oldest man
in the business in Washington. Until about
four months ago Capt. Stuart was ac-
lively employed and was a familiar figure
about the fish and oyster docks.
During the past winter he became i'll, and
1t was at first thought he would recover,
but about two weeks ago the disease,
dropsy, from which he was suffering took
an unfavorable turn and, as stated, the end
came last night.

FINE ARMY RECORD IN CUBA.
Ranks as Crack Corps After Only Six
Months Experience.

HAVANA, Cuba, May go - After six
months constant practice in every depart-
ment OF military experience except actual
battle, the army Of Cuban pacihcation may
falriy take rank as the crack corps OF tho
United States military forces. Without
having had to fire shot or make a single
hostile demonstration, 1t has to its credit
a list of achievements of which officers
and men are proud. The army's trumphs
have been the maintenance of a standard of
discipline and sanitation of more than jap
anese excellence and the preservation Of
perfect self-control while in contact with
an unsympathetic population.
Its greatest military achievement has been
the production Of a chart of the Island of
Cuba. declared the most perfect military
map In existence. Should the United States
troops ever be called upon to take the field
In Cuba, they will begin the campaign with
the advantage of perfect familiarity with
the topography of the whole island, includ-
Ing every trail and by-path and every
mountain fastness in which Gomez Garcia.
Maceo and other heroes of the war of inde-
pendence were wont to bid defiance to
Spanish pursuit.
The army of Cuban pacification, which
originally numbered $500 men, without in
Guiding marines, has dwindled by the nat
ural process of discharges on expiration of
enlistments to about $500 men. There are
also under Gen. Barry's command about
LOCO marines.
Nearly 1000 soldiers quartered in Camp
Columbia form the garrison of Havana.
The others are scattered over the island in
thirty posts, eleven of which are occupied
by marines.
Gen. Barry's latest contribution to the
comfort of the men is the establishment of
bathing quarters at Marianao beach, with
in short walk of the camp. Attend
ance at the bathing station is compulsory,
and every man Is compelled to practice,
unQer the direction of bathing master
until he can swim continuously for at least
ten minutes. --s.

he said, on the fishing shores like cord
wood for the people residing in the vicinity
of the shore to take away as they de-
sired.
1t was largely due to the efforts of Capt
Stuart that the present fish laws of the
District We're adopted. Realizing that the
indiscriminate catching of fish during the
spawning season was rapidly depicting the
stock in the Potomac, and knowing that
the waters about this city were the spawn
ing grounds of the fish, he interested the
late Senator Blackburn, and the measure
as he had mapped 1t out, was finally passed
by Congress and became a law. The wis
dom of the measure is now generally ac-
knowledged.
Early in life Capt Stuart married Miss
Sarah Faunce of this eity. His wife died

Secrc sary Weller called attention to the
social problems arising from the~fact that
different classes of people tend naturally to
