Details Of the recent engagement between
Col 1nclan's forces and the insurgents
under Maceo near Candelaria, in Pinar del
Rio, are meaSer, but the losses incurred by
the spanish troops are admitted to be Sc
nous, the engagement being more in the
nature of a pitched battle than any prev
ious one during the Instruction, and the
attack made by the Insurgents was bold
and effec tive.
A telegram from Gen. Linares at Cav
a1abos admits this much. He says the
Spanish troops are worthy of the highest
praise, as they had to attack in the open an
enemy barricaded behind stone walls. Gen.
Linares also reports that the column under
Lieut.. Col. Frances had taken the IT,
surgent position after stubborn defense
directed by Maceo, Banderas and DeIgado.

When the charges against Market In
spector Davis were taken up E. @. Ham
mond, president of the Butchers Board of
Trade, took the floor, and in long speech
intimated that the trouble had arisen
more out of faulty ordinance than any
criminal intent on the part of .theiinspec-
tor in passing immature veal.
He said that after killing it was almost
impossible to tell the age of calves. He
thought the ordinances relating to the
matter should be amended to provide that
calves should be of certain weight-ffty-
i've pounds or oVer-before being per-
mitted to be sold.
Then Mr.. Hammond made some state
ments that drew startled glances from the
members.
In former administrations, said Ham
mond, 81 have known calves condemned
by the meat inspector taken from one
man and sold to another. l can quote In
stances where condemned meat has been
taken right out of the slaughter-houses
and sold. l should like to have embodied
IN the ordinance the rule that the duties

cally defined. There shall be limit
placed upon their powers. For instance,
myself have had calves weighing eighty
pounds condemned by the inspectors, and
l think l know enough about meat to
know that an eighty-pound calf is o pretty
healthy animal.
I've called the attention of inspectors
to oversights myself. and they've come to
my place and condemned calves I've
pointed out to them. But the system has
been pretty lax, and I want the inspectors
duties SO construed as to be fair to US and
fair to the City"
A majority of the board was in favor of
finding that Davis had merely acted rashly
and hurriedly in passing the veal ,ano by a
vote OF 3 to l it was decided to censure
Davis for that and nothing more.
DR.. We'll of the Receiving Hospital de-
manded an investigation of certain charges
made against him by members of an or
ganization composed of ladies, but the
board decided that the accusations had
been exploded and that the best way of
obviating the recurrence of such trouble
was to pass an order requiring those of an
investigating turn of mind to get permits
before beginning operations. The motion
was carried unanimously, and in future
committees bent on such errands will have
to get the signatures of the Mayor and
mem bers of the board before venturing
into institutions under the control of the
board.

SAT the city of Everett, at the mouth OF
the Snohonish River, Puget Sound, where

mills running steadily, and over the Sound
in all directions are many other mills. I

The Site by Mayor Suro Wilmerding School,
The shaded portion indicates the block

which it is supposed will be located in San
Francisco, and has offered the trustees of
the Wilmerding bequest free git of the
property.
The site comprises an entire block on
Thirty-second avenue, in Richmond,
known as block 315, and is admirably stu
ated for such a purpose, being on rising
ground that overlooks Golden Gate Park
on the south and the Preside reservation
on the north.
1t is within one block of Point Lobos
avenue, the main driveway to the ocean
through the Richmond District, and also
within one block OF the electric line that
runs along Thirty-third avenue on its way
TO the City, thus insuring an easy method
of transportation for pupils, instructors
and visitors.
1t is understood that the trustees of the
Wilmerding bequest, while not knowing
what the Mayor would do in the matter,
favored such location, and it is believed
that should the school be built on this side
of the bay the site will be accepted.
AS large and substantial buildings will
be erected at a heavy outlay of money the
school will be of much benefit to Rich
mond, and the residents and property
over the prospect of the school being To-
Gated on block 315. The school will be
under the control of the regents of the
State University, and all has'e will be
made to erect the buildings when the site
question is settled.
Mayor sutro said yesterday that he had
selected the site after long and careful
consideration, and that in his estimation
there was no more suitable location for
such an institution on the San Francisco
peninsula. At first he had an idea of Sc
Letting block south of the park, but the
residents of the north side were so earnest
in their desire to have the school buildings
located in Richmond that he acceded to
their requests and decided on a north-side
block. In case the site is accepted, build
ing will be begun in short time.
E. A. Denicke, chairman of the joint COM
mittees appointed for the purpose of select
ing site for the Wilmerding School was
interviewed last night in relation to the
offer of Mayor Sutro.
81 received communication from the
Mayor to-day said he, sslnforming me
that he had presented the Wilmerdine
trust with large block of land in Rich.
mond district for a site. 1t is located in
block 315 on Thlrty-second avenue, be-
tween and B streets, on high ground-a
very satisfactory place for the proposed
institution. The Sutro electric road to the
Cliff House is two blocks to the north and
Golden Gate Park two blecks to the south
ward of block 315. Point Lobos avenue.
the big thoroughfare ofthe district, leading
from the terminus of Geary street to the
ocean, passes near the place selected for the
site.
~ don't think a better locality could
have been found, as Richmond district is
coming to the front as choice residence
portion of the City. l cannot now saw lust
what the trustees or executors of the
Wilmerding trust will do, but doubtless
they will hasten to accept the Mayors
offer.

Northern Forests.

T. FL Folsom, lumberman of Maine
and Minnesota, who not long ago located at
Everett, Wash, and who has been ship
ping large quantities of lumber and poles
for electric roads to Southern California, is

Mr.. Folsom has forwarded three ship
loads of poles to San Pedro for use by Los
Angeles, Pasadena and Redlands electric
lines and for electro lighting, and has a
contract for large quantity in addition,
which will be sent down at an early date.
The poles are very heavy, being the best to
be obtained from the northern woods.
They are from thirty to fifty feet long.

DR.. Morse started the discussion by
stating that he believed the unused slots
were a menace to the health of the public.
He said that as long as they were used
they were kept clean, but that when
abandoned they were neglected and ac-
cumulated all manner of filth and refuse,
that, by rotting, poisoned the air and bred
disease. He moved that the company be
instructed by the Health Officer to fill up
the Objectionable cavities at once or that
the work would be done by the board at
the expense of the corporation.

The question of illuminating certain
