Ehgland Withdraws From Samoa. WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—The ~-Brit~ ish government has acted on the agree- ment and treaties for the partition of Samoa and has withdrawn the supervi- sory authority which it has exercised of late years in common with Germany and the United States. This probably ac- counts for the recent report from Samoa that the German flag had been raised, as the withdrawal of British influence leaves the Germans practically alone in author- ity, the United States having withdrawn its sphere of influence to Tutuila, al-_ though-this branch of the agreement has not been ratified - yet by the United States. So far as Germany and Great Britain are .concerned, their interests were settled in a treaty to which the United States was not aparty. Smallpox Epidemic Among Indians.

Cgptain Sigsbee In Charge of the Ceremonies — Chaplain Chidwick Ofllciateséother Survivors of 1..» WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-'—Upon the windy heights of Arlington cemetery the Maine dead, brought ‘ from Havana by the battleship Texas, have been laid away in their final resting place with simple religious services and the impress- ive honors of war in the presence of the president, members of his cabinet, offi- cers of the armya'nd navy and‘ other rep- resentatives of the government. A cabi- net oificer surveying the flag draped cof- fins before the ceremonies began said: “The lives of those men cost Spain her colonies.” But there was no note of triumph in the grim scene yesterday. With a touch of sadness and solemn gravity the nation performed its duty to the dead and gave its: defenders a Christian burial at lrpme ' in soil hallowed by patriotic‘dead. A soft mantle of snow covered the earth, muflling the beat of the horses’ . . ' ‘ *Nsms CHAPLAIN CHIDWICK. hoofs, the slow turning carriage wheels and the tramp of soldiers and sailors as they approached the burial place. The site is a commanding one. In front the broad bosom of the ice fetter-ed Potomac; beyond, the shaft of Washing— ton, the dome of the capitol and the sprawling city; to the right the choked embrasures of old Fort McPherson and betweenthe graves of the heroic dead of Santiago; to the left the stately mansion of Lee and to the rear through the vistas of snow laden pines and cedars the silent army of patriotic dead of the civil war sleeping rank upon rank in their last bivouac. The caskets interred ranged row on row. Over each was .spread an Ameri— can ensign upon which lay a wreath of smilax. Surrounding the inclosure, shoulder to shoulder, the yellow of their coat liningsforming a band of color, were drawn up the cavalry of Fort Myer. To the right was a battalion of marines from' the navy yard, with their spiked helmets and scarlet capes turned back; to the left a detachment of jackies from the Texas in navy blue; in the flag draped stand in the rear the president 'and his cabinet, Admiral Dewey, Major General Miles and a distinguished group of offi- cers of ther‘army and navy in their showy dress uniforms, while all around pressed the throng of people who had braved the snow and biting cold to pay their last tribute to the dead. Among these were many relatives and friends of those who had been lost in the disaster. There was a tender appropriateness in the fact that Captain Sigsbee, who was . in command of the Maine when she was blown up, h (1 charge of the ceremonies in honor of is men and that Father Chidwick, who was. chaplain of the Maine, was there to perform the last rites. Three others who lived through that awful night in Havana harbor were at the side of, the graves of their com— rades, Lieutenant Commander \Vain— wright, who was executivc officer of the Maine and who sunk the Pluton and the Furor at Santiago; Lieutenant 11‘. C. Bowers, who was assistant engineer of the Maine, and Jeremiah Shea, a fireman on the Maine, who was blown out of the stoke hole of the ship through the debris, escaping uninjured most miraculously. And thus, after two years, the dead of the Maine have been brought home and in ground reserved for the nation’s heroes have been buried with full military hon- ors and in the service of their faith. Reprieve For Benham. ALBANY, Dec. 29.———Governor Roose- velt' has granted a respite to Howard Benham, the Batavia wife murderer, un— til Feb. 10.

BOUTELLE'S CONDITION. The Maine Congressman Not In Im- ' mediate Danger. ' BOSTON, Dec. 29.—W'hile the officials of the McLean hospital are extremely reticent in the matter of giving details as to the condition of Congressman Charles A. Boutelle of Maine, it was stated in re- sponse to an inquiry by telephone last night that. Mr. Boutelle had passed a very comfortable day and that he was not considered in any immediate danger. A relative of Mr. Boutelle’s is quoted as saying yesterday afternoon that the latter’s trouble is congestion of the brain, the result of continued strain and over- work in connection with his official du- ties. His condition previous to his re- moval to the hospital was such that at times he became delirious, and it was difficult to keep him under control. It was deemed best under the circumstances to place him in an institution where he could receive the best possible treatment, and the McLean hospital at “’averly was selected as such a place. The relative above mentioned express- ed confidence that with the skillful treat- ment and the rest that are insured at the hospital the patient will quickly recover and be able in the near future torcsume his duties at Washington. Governnlent Depositoriel. WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—The secre- tary of the treasury has designated sev- eral additional national banks as govern- ment depositories to receive internal rev- enue receipts and, it is said, will continue to do so until the total sum so deposited amounts to $30,000,000 or $40,000,000. Deposits, however, will not be made with these additional banks until the banks comprising the first group, desig- nated several days ago, have received de- posits equal to the amount of bonds turn- ed into the treasury by them as security, which approximates $17,000,000. It is expected that deposits will begin to be made under the new designations about Jan. 10. Any national bank owning or controlling United States bonds willing to deposit the same in-the treasury as security, including those now receiving deposits, is entitled to participate in this distribution of internal revenue receipts. Married In Death Chamber. ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 29.—In the presence of death, on Christmas night, Case Burch and Miss Bessie V an Zandt, both of Rensselacr, were united in mar- riage. The groom’s mother. Mrs. Newton Burch, has been dangerously ill from nervous prostration, and on Christmas .niglit. feeling that -she had not many hours to live, she made a request that her son, Case, who was engaged to be married to Miss Van Zandt, be married that evening. It was her dying request, she said, to see the ceremony performed. The minister was summoned, and in the death chamber the words which united the young'couple for life were pronounc- ed. Shortly at‘ter the dying wvoman, happy in the thought of her son’s mar- riage, passed away peacefully. Paid After ‘40 Years. PLAINFIELD, N. J._. Dec. 20,—Henry Augustus Frazec of South avenue, who has been living in retirement since the loss of a leg a few years ago in a runa- way accident, has just received assur- ances that he is heir to $15,000 under the will of the late \V. P. Hedden of- Toledo. In 1858 Mr. Frazee loaned Mr. Hedden $4,000 to invest in 'a‘business in Newark. The money was lost in the venture, and, being discouraged, Hedden went west. Mr. Fraz'ee heard nothing more of him and had given up hope of the repayment of the money. Mail Automobiles In Chicago.

HAVANA, Dec. 28.—Gneral Wood says that one of the first things he looked ,into after his arrival was the manage- ,ment of Cuban prisons. Investigation has (proved that, even among American pris- ,oners alone, there has been an average detention of five months without trial. There are many things calling for imme- diate attention, particularly in the matter of sleeping. accommodations. Reforms (will be promptly instituted in this re- that the prisoners will not be compelled to sleep on the bare floors, as is now the case with those who are without friends or money. Only a few who are able to pay for them have cots. One of the first things taken in hand by General Wood as military governor of Santiago was prison management. It .was his custom then to make a personal ,visit to the local jail once a week and to go through the entire list of these con- fined, summarily disposing of the charges . pgainst those who were obviously unjust- ly detained and releasing those who had been imprisoned for a long period on some trifling ground. ‘ He intends to make weekly visits here also until a majority of the existing abuses are abated, and he is trying to devise means that will insure prompt trials for persons accused. So far as the Havana penitentiary is concerned, this has been found to be in a perfectly satisfactory condition. It is clean, airy, well drained and well venti- lated, and the inmates seem healthy. A lawyer who recently visited several of the island-prisons says the Lewis re- port gives only a portion of the terrible truth. Early last January General Lud- low appointed a military board to inquire into the question. Over 800 priso'iiers were reported upon, and General Ludlow issued orders for the release of more than 100. Before 50 had been discharged, however, General Brooke ordered a halt, and the matter was referred to the cabi- net secretaries, since which time prac- tically nothing has been done. Men whom General Ludlow ordered to be released are still held. after three or four years’ waiting without trial. Gener- al “'ood thinks that when his order goes into eliect calling upon all judicial officers and military commanders to send com— plete lists of prisoners awaiting trial, the congestion of untried prisoners will be re- lieved within 15 days thereafter, and he does not intend that similar conditions shall arise again. Missing Husband Found. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., Dec. 28.— Three months ago James Oliver left his home in Oneida, N. Y. His wife heard nothing from him until last week, when she was notified by the superintendent of the Hudson River State Hospital For the Insane that her husband was a patient in that institution, but was now cured and able to go home. Mrs. Oliver arrived here yesterday and was taken to her hus- band. Hc told her that he went to Troy. where the police found him wandering aroundthc city.‘ He was then committed to an asylum here. A School of Crime. LIMA, 0., Dec. 28.—Jamcs Poorman, arrested here yesterday, has been con- ducting a school of crime, according to the stories of Aggie Scanlan, aged 8, and others to the police. The Scanlan girl said that Poor-man instructed her and several others to mingle with crowds in retail stores and to pick up articles from the counters. How well he schooled them is evidenced that none were detected, but when the police searched Poorman’s room they found two trunkfuls of plun- der—jewelry and small articles of value. Moody Grave Covered With Flowers. EAST NORTHFIELD, Mass, Dec. 28,—Thc mound of earth which marks the grave of the late Dwight L.
