THE LIGHTING PROBLEM

The merits of the newly suggested plan
considered by the city council. Last
Monday that body, by an almost unani-
nous vote, called for bids on seven
variations of the present plan of lighting,
the majority of which contemplate the
requirement or construction of munich
pal distributing plant and the purchase
Of electricity upon the most favorable
terms possible from a private company
council hopes to be abs to determine
almost to a certainty what the proposed
new plan would cost in operation, and
whether it would be advantageous to
change from the present system.
The city is under obligations to furnish
proper lighting facilities to the annexed
districts, and there is not a ward in the
city where more lights are not needed.
To furnish these at the price at present
paid by the city seems to be out of the
question. If, as expected by the advo-
Gates of the new plan, the proposed
change will result in large increase In
the light service, material reduction
estimated at fifty per cent--in the cost
per lamp per year, together with the
early reimbursement to the city Of the
cost of its distributing plant, it is plain
that the present plan will have to go I'M
less it can meet and overcome the ad-
vantages accruing from the new PROPOSE
ton.
The fight between the pole system
and the street-intersection-lig plan
Is already on. and the former developed
surprising strength at Mondays council
meeting. There are many who believe
that the pole system is better than any
other for sparsely settled districts, and
the other side will have to show an equal
or better distribution of light in such dis
tricts by the street-intersection plan in
order to carry the day. The relative
power and efficiency of lights are perhaps
not so we'll and so generally understood
as they should be. 1t is matter of SCI
entific computation and arrangement.
The Herald wants the council to con-
slider only the best interests of the city
in deciding this important matter.

librarians and other matters more or less
familiar to our readers. While the plan
of giving free access to the books had
been given but brief trial at the time
the report was made it appears to have
been attended with good results. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that six years
ago, when the number of volumes was
only half as large as the present number,
and when the circulation was far less,
the money supply was quite as large as 1t
is now. The report of the rev librarian,
Mrs. Harriet c. Wadleigh, shows prog
ress and promise of better things that
is being realized as fast as possible under
her efficient management The library
should have better public and private,
support. 1t should have a home of its

In the old days troops were safe when held
In reserve 500 yards back of the fighting line.
Now for $500 yards behind this line the
ground Is torn by bullets. Consequently
troops are held 5000 yards back. and even at
this distance there will be occasional casual
ties. To take part in an engagement the re-
serve force must be moved entirely through
this wide and dangerous zone. Infantry
cannot do it In less than twenty-five min
utes, and another ten minutes will be used in
getting them into line. Cavalry can cover
the distance In SIX minutes. The rapid!ty
with which their range alters makes them a
difficult target, and the moral effect of their
laundering and swift advance is great. II
is estimated that the cavalry loss in a
charge should not exceed one-thdrd Of the
infantry loss. American military men Of

The president was urged by some of their friends to appoint them second lieutenants in the army, and he might easily have done so in filling the numerous vacancies in that grade caused by the recent heavy increase in the military strength. He declined, however, to exercise his pre- rogative in this matter in favor of his relatives, and said that inasmuch as they were willing to enlist as privates he would prefer that they do go. And that course was followed. They both applied for enlistment in the Eighth Ohio volunteer infantry, now en- camped near Falls Church, as part of the Second army corps.

Americans Cutting Their Way Through
 Almost Impenetrable Thickets.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 30.-(11 a. m.)-The forces of the American army are being mobilized as rapidly as pos sible in the vicinity of Aguadores four miles from Santiago de Cuba The moment the tedious task is completed an attack on Spa1n's last ditch in east ern Cuba will be begun. When that will begin General Shafter himself cannot say. Troops can be moved without serious delay and are pushing forwardly, but the movement of pack trains, wagons, ambulances and ar tillery is taxing the skill and endur- ance of the officers and men to the ut- most. From Baiquiri, where the ar tillery was landed, to the present point of concentration the road runs through a tangle of tropical underbrush, up and down steep hillsides and over treacherous swamps and bordering streams, for distance of over twelve miles. Through this continuous thicket the rear guard of the army is cutting it's way. Engineers are at work leveling the track and filling pits, while a large force of regulars and volunteers with axes, aided by Cubans with machetes, are hacking down trees and clearing out the brush. A few light guns have already reached port. The siege guns are not yet within five miles of the vanguard.

for the army other than the medical and commissary department, in two or three days.
 A sufficient force to guard the place will be left here, probably from the volunteer force of 5000 men, now com- ing from Tampa, and practically the entire fighting force will swing into Caney or Aguadores, making the base of operations before Santiago at this place. A railroad from here to San tiago is rapidly being pushed by en- gineers and a large force of troops. Its completion will greatly simplify the movement of supplies and pack trains will have no more arduous work.

 According to information which reached the flagship New York today from Col. Rios, who is in command of the Cuban camp, General Pando start ed from Manzanillo on June P and is travelling at the rate of twelve miles a day. The distance to Santiago de Cuba is 127 miles and the roads lead ing there are rough and difficult to travel. The Cubans now opposing General Pando number only about 200 men.
