 Angeles. WATER FIGHTS NEW PHASE CITY COUNCIL TO MEET THE
 MONOPOLY. Failing to Fix Upon Suitable Price, They Will Next At
 tempt to Decide by
 Arbitration
CITY COUNCIL TO MEET THE
 MONOPOLY.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, June 13.-The City Water Company to-day sent commu- nication to the City Council giving a complete inventory of it's property. The communication was addressed to City Attorney Dunn. The company ex- plained that it did not expect the muni- cipality to take over all property in- cluded in the inventory, as it did not consider that it came within the pro- visions of the contract under the term of improvements. For instance, the corporation declared it did not expect the city to purchase any of the prop erty owned by the Crystal Springs Land and Water Company, which is auxiliary to the City Water Company.
 In explaining why the company had none of the original plant of the city turned over to it thirty years ago. the communication states that time and in- creased service have demanded that the old plant be entirely taken out and later inventions and improvements substi- tuted.
 The communication was not dis cuSSed but was referred to a joint meet ing of the stockholders of the water company and the City Council, to be held tomorrow in the Council chamber. The object of this meeting Is to aScer- tain if the Council and the water com pany cannot come together on an agreed price for the plant. There is not the slightest possibility of this being effected. But the conference must be held under the terms of the water com pany's contract with the city, which United States District Judge Olin Vel born has held to be legal and binding in every particular.
 Mayor M P. Snyder has not been in- yited to participate in this joint meet ing, but he will be there, and, unless elected will, If occasion demands, offer suggestions and talk upon the subject under discussion. If the Council and the company fail to agree, which is practically certain, the next step under the contract is to leave the matter to arbitrators to determine. This is what the water company will demand It also will demand that the results of the arbitration be binding on both parties. Just how this can be done cannot now be foreseen. Before it can be made binding city bonds must be voted. If the voters deem the price agreed upon by the arbitrators too high they will defeat arbitration by defeating the bonds. Then the whole matter will be left in a worse complication than be- fore
 Despite the fact that it is generally believed the consultation tomorrow will not result in any agreement, citizens are manifesting great interest in the outcome. The Council chamber will be crowded during the sessions. President Herman Silver of the City Council will preside. The water company directors claim that in holding this session and entering into it prior to the expiration of their lease they are making a con- cession t(, the city and doing something they are not legally required to do.

BUT CHIEF AGUINALDO MAY

Special Dispatch to The calI.
Call Office, Riggs House.

Washington, June 13.
 Colonel J. F. Evans of San Francisco is in daily conference with Secretary Gage concerning the Philippine tariff. The account published exclusively in The Call last week on the preparations the administration has been making for the Government was accurate in every way. These preparations have gone far and are now reaching the de- tails of tax-reform administration.
 There will be such a reconstruction of methods and such a Tightening of bur dens that with the strong and progress sive and yet lenient rule of America the inhabitants will be far freer than Spanish subjects ever were under the most favorable circumstances. Even they will be far better off for a long time than if they were independent. providing that they have any desire to become independent.
 President Mckinley and his advisers In the Cabinet and in Congress. it is said, have come to no formal and final determination as to the disposition of the islands. It is said by friends of the President, however, that he believes the islands will become the property of the United States and that they will be kept.
 The War Departments reason for dis patching a big force of soldiers to the island is now apparent. There is a possibility that Aguinaldo after show ing his strength, may not desire to lay down his arms peaceably and surrender to the American commander. Ae,1i naldo has not in any of his utterances that have been recorded on this side of the world suggested that he desired to surrender these rights to the American n Government and raise the American flag over the islands. He has talked of ! protectorate of the United States and an independent government under it. In such plan the United States would undertake to defend him from all for eign aggression, but would secure no benefit except coaling rights, perhaps. and probably a large part of the trade of the islands.
 This is not the plan of the United States. The Philippines must become the property of this Government abso- lutely, both for their own good and for that of the United States. America is now determined that a commonwealth on the American plan is to be raised in the Pacific, with American civilization and American progressiveness. Any thing less will be rejected by the ad- l ministration and by the people,
 It is just at this point that the ad ministration fears trouble. It is be lieved that the Philippine insurgents may consider their position identical with that of the Cubans. The United States has waged this war professedly to free the Cubans. Aguinaldo may say when the terms of peace are being de- cided or even before that his men are fighting for independence too and that the United States has helped them in the same way and should not expect to take the islands away from them any more than to annex Cuba

Call Of1ce, R1ggS House,
 Washington, June 13
 To-nights Star and other ultra an- nexationists are persistent in declara- tions that President Mckinley will seize Hawaii as a military necessity in case Congress fails to pass the resolu- tion for annexation. This lie has been exposed time and again. The Call cor respondent can state on the authority of G Senator who favors annexation that the President does not now and has never entertained a thought of op
 posing the will of Congress. He re- alizes that it would be revolutionary for the executive to usurp this legisla- tive function. Neither do these East ern newspapers believe that he will do such a thing. If they felt assured that President Mckinley would arbitrarily seize the islands as a war measure, de- spite the action of Congress, they would not be so anxious concerning the fate of the resolution. Their anxiety and hard fighting gives the lie to their statements of the Presidents policy.
 The Evening Star of Washington Is the chief annexation organ. Its editors have become rich by gas and street railway stock speculations. The Star has in the past been facetiously termed the Evening Trolley" I asked we'll known newspaper editor of Washington tonight if he could explain the Stars overzealous support of annexation, and he replied: "I understand that one of it's editors is related by marriage to President Dole, and secondly, 1t is gen. orally believed here that at least one of it's editors is a holder of Hawaiian sugar bonds. A stockholder in the Ha- waiian Sugar Company, who lost heavily in the recent slump in that company's stock, has been in Washing ton all winter and spring urging an- nexation It is he who has furnished the Evening Star with ammunition to fire at those who oppose annexation"
 The Hawaiian resolution will un- doubtedly pass the House on Wednes- day, and it is expected debate will be- gin in the Senate on Thursday. How long 1t will continue no one can tell. There at least a dozen Senators who are anxious to speak at length and the question is will Senators who are anx- ious to avoid the hot weather be willing to remain? Senator White leaves on Sunday for Los Angeles, whither he will accompany his wife and children, but he will return immediately via San EranciScO

Canvass of the Senate.

WASHINGTON, June 13. = Senators Lodge and Elkins made partial canvass of tho Senate on the Hawaiian question to-day, and they say they are satisfied that a sufficient number of advocates of annexation will be in Washington to make a quorum of the Senate and to insure the passage of the House resolution through that body They count upon prolonged annexationists have received renewed assurance of the earnest support of the administration, and hope on this account the Republican side of the chamber They count upon eight or ten votes from the Democrats.
