THE DEBATE AND VOTE.
The resolution was taken up as an or
dinance, and put through to it's third
reading under a suspension of the
rules, over the protest of lie Prohon
| Stewart ard Mulvey, the latter OF
whom desired a postponement of final
action for two weeks.
Dale and Diehl explained the advan-
tages to accrue to consumers by the
enactment OF the new schedule. They
in fact contended that many conces-
sions were obtained.
Mulvey wished that action on such
an important matter be deferred. He
did not like the idea of passing upor
the schedule at such a, late date, and he
expressed his fear of the lighting mo-
nopoly, which he termed an octopus
| getting such a hold on the people thai
no relief could be obtained.
Callister contended that the new
] schedule gives the consumers a reduc-
ton on incandescent service of SO cents
a month, the cut being from $1.50 to 81
a matter of no small advantage.
The resolution ordinance passed b1
a vote of Is to l. Mulvey voted in the
negative, and Morris had left the coun.
! ell chamber.

Says That "Wnr Is Convenient for
SPAIN"
Havana, October 20.--La Licha, in an
energetic leading editorial entitled War
is Convenient for Spain" says:
The sensational American press is re-
newing the campaign in favor of Amerl-
can Intervention, which it says will meet
the approval Of congress. Rather than that
we should continue enduring this sort OF
thing. it is preferable that our American
friends should decide to interfere. Spain
has nothing to lose. Her case Is the same
as that Of a poor man suing rich ore.
The rich man is always the lcser. More
over II Spain were TO go To war with the
American Union II would be proof positive
that in our national character Sill exists
the traditional Spanish hanor, which We
would defend even more carefully than our
lives.

Havana, October 2O.tVia Key West.)-A
body of insurgents in the province OF
Pinar del Rio came upon five guerillas who
had an ox-cart filled with groceries. They
macheted the guerillas and seized the
cart.
Many army officers who consider that
Sagasta's policy of autonomy for Cuba Is
dangerous to Spanish sovereignty have
applied for leave Of absence to return to
Spain. weyler has invariably refused these
applications.
The word treason" has been heard OF
late in several quarters. 1t is believed the
government intends to deliver the public
offices into the hands OF the insurgents,
which, 1t is the general opinion, would be
equivalent to granting the Cubans indie
