While no decision was reached, the sentiment of the commit tee leaned towards a substantial appro- priation in inaugurate the policy of ownership by the United states of em- bassy and legation buildings and resid- enees in the chief capitals of the world
 Members of the committee point to the Hill-Tower incident as peculiarly in point. The salary of the American ambassador to Germany is SI50O, He Is allowed $l.7S5 for embassy rent. It Is understood that Ambassador Tower has been paying $2O,O00 a year rental for his dwcllng house in Berlin, and has been eXpendlng more than SI5,OOO Ia year in hospitality, These calcula- tions create dn apparent deficit in the purse of the ambassador to Germany of SS0000 a year, Members of the committee suggest that some of the friends in Berlin of the United states had these figures in mind when the wisdom of sending Mir.

 One of the matters which Mir. Stev. ems said he thought would aid mater ially in the government of the island whether under American supervision tenn of good roads fast being devel- oped at present under the supervision of Governor Magoon. These roads he thought would materially aid in keep ing the less advanced natives of the interior in the best of order for along them troops could be easily and offec- lively dispatched for quelling any dis turbances almost as soon as they had been started
 The road would be advantageous, he pointed out, in the commercial de- yelopmont of the island, too. Mir. Stevens said he was glad to see so much American capital and energy concentrated upon Cuba, He said he thought it would all pay for the island has great possibilities, There are
  ly raised there and the discovery of this fact about new products is being learned every little while, He said he thought Cuba can and will be of great value to the United States, whether under our direct government or under q protectorate alone. By the Ward Line, he said, it is only four days away from New York city. It will become watering place of in creaslng popularity and . place where tourists will be found in every in- creasing numbers. Havana is a beau tiful as well as healthful city though 1t has a future before 1t.
 Mir stevens spoke of his inspection of the new railroad which is built ou' over the keys of Florida on masonry arches lie said the work was q big and successful undertaking, At pres ent the Foad goes about half way tc < Key Wet, which is It's ultimate des- tinaton. The road follows the islands along through the ocean, and is some feet above high tide. When the road gets as far as Key West Americans will ind themselves within four or five hours by boat from Havana.

Finds Rare Animal Which k Mounted in Metropolitan
 Museum.

A Hyatt yerrll. son of Prof A, F, Verrill of Yale university, and q former resident of this city Is the writer of an interesting article on The Caverns of Bermuda in this months issue of Tropical America.
 Mr, Ncrrill is one of the best known of the younger American naturalists anu has made extensive explorations through the western hemisphere.
 The writer gives geologic history of the Bermudas and states, that con trary to general belief this emi-trOp- ical group of islands Is not of coral formation at all, but of "drifted shore sand, There are strata of loose sand in between layers of hard rock, and in the course of ages water has washed out this sandy layer, the result being Il net work of caves. MT, Nerrill states that the islands are literally honey combel with ocean caverns
 Another article In the same maga- zine, written by Seymour Dunbar, en- titled The Quest of the Lolenodon" is the recital of MT Verll's search for this most ancient type of animal life Tn the western hemisphere. He found the strange creature, known to science as the Lolenodon sparadoXus in San Domingo, after many weeks search, and WAS able to capture thre of them, although none of these amnuts surviv~ ed long Mir Verrill preserved their bodies, and these specimens are now on exhibit al the Metropolitan Museum of Natural History in New York city The only other museum in the world having q specimen, and it is very poor one, being but fragment collect ed perhaps a century ago.
