CITY MEETING.
The Gerry Policemen Again Heard
From-Bs..s Audited.


The full board was present at the reg
ular monthly meeting OF the aldermen
Monday evening. The meeting was a
record breaker In shortness, adjourn
ment being reached before 8 O'Clock. But
little business outside the dull routine Of
auditing accounts was transacted.
The ghost OF the Gerry police bills
again staiked abroad, but was promptly
laid by Mayor Higgins. The matter was
brought up by ID. Il. Hurley, who sr-
peared before he board MS counsel for the
Gerry policemen. His plea In behalf OF
the policemen had a familiar sound. In
effect 1t was threat to sue the city II the
bills were not paid.
Mayor Higgins said that he would OPP
pose the payment OF one cent unless the
city was ordered to do so by the courts.
Aid. Whitney, Lord and Staples echoed
the sentiments OF the mayor.
The bills being contracted by the board
OF health were the subject OF some dis
cussion, and resulted in a vote instruct
ing the clerk to notify the board of
health that the city will pay no more bills
for flushing sewers unless work Is
ordered by the mayor.

FOOTBALL.
Season Opened in Ellsworth with VIC
/ tory for High School.

Season Opened In Ellsworth with Vic
tory for High School.
The football season opened IN Ellis
worth Saturday, when Brewer and Ellis
worth high SC hools met at Wyman park.
The game was played without much pre-
!iminary announcement or practice. The
manager of the Brewer team telephoned
to Manager Campbell of Ellsworth to
know II he could accommodate him with
game. Manager Campbell lowed he
could, and then hustled around to get the
boys together. The score was ITO in
favor OF Ellsworth.
The day was warm for football, and
neither team was in form, so that good
game was not anticipated. The result
was a surprise to the players as we'll as to
the spectators. The Ellsworth team is
composed almost entirely of green men,
and though they have practiced but
little, they put up game which was
marked by good team play in formation
and interference, and by good individual
work.
The team was coached by r. E. Mason,
who Will handle the team this year. He
has reason to feel fattered by the work 80
far done.
The lineup OF the Ellsworth team was
as follows: Cox, left end; Fernald, left
tackle; Whitmore, left guard; Shute,
centre; Blaisdell, right guard; Albert
Stockbridge, right tackle; II. Campbell,
right end; James Stock bridge, quarter
back; Perkins, left half back; Robinson,
right half back c. Campbell, full back.
Ellsworth scored a touchdown in the
first five minutes play. The touchdown
was made by Robinson. Campbell
kicked goal. In the second half two
more tonchdowns were made, one by c.
Campbell, one by Robinson. Campbell
kicked goal on first, but failed on the
second.
Eugene Hale, jr., was umpire, A. K.
Cushman, referee, Hoyt A. Moore, timer
The Ellsworth high school team has
three dates fixed as follows: Oldtown at
Ellsworth October Is; Brewer at Brewer
October %; Odtown Mt Oldtown Novem-
Der 8. II game is not arranged for next
Saturday it is probable that the boys will
get out for practice on points with the
Dirigo team.
The Dirigo team has its suits, and will
soon buckle down to work. 1t is probable
that good coach will be employed The
Drgos are nothing if not ambitious;
they have designs already on some of the
big college teams.
c. L. Bellatty, the Ellsworth boy who
helped to make last years high school
football team, is in fair way to win
foot ball laurels at Bowdoin. He was
chosen this week one of the substitutes
on the Bowdoin college team which plays
Harvard to-day. Bellatty's football
friends in Ellsworth could wish for him
i no better luck than the privilege of be-
ing trampled upon by the crimson. With
such early recognition OF his ability,
Belatty bids fair to be near the top Of the
scrimmage by the time he reaches his
senior wear in BOWdOin.

ground on Warm Spring creek, of which
they have considerable faith of yielding

VIII Join the Fourth Expedition
to the Philippines.

San Francisco. July 1l-This week
will see another exodus OF the Manila
forces. Thursday morning the Peru,
carrying Major General Z. S. Otis and
staff. six troops of the 4th u. S. cav
airy, under command of Colonel KEEL
logg, and two batteries of the 9Th U.
s. artillery. under command of Major
Grugan, and the City of Puebla with
the 18th infantry detachment, will
steam out of the harbor
Major General Otis has decided not to
wait for the New York volunteers. but
will proceed at once to Honolulu ID
assist, according to his orders, in the
ceremonies of occupying the city. The
4th cavalry. 9Th artillery and 14th in
fantry will AVE the privilege of TAX
ing part in the ceremonies. They will
remain in Honolulu until the other
three vessels of the fleet of five des-
tined for the fourth expedition come
on. then the Whole force of troops, with
Major General E. S. Otis and Brigadier
General II. G.. Otis, will proceed to Ma
Mia.
The troops for the st. Paul and the
Rio Janeiro have not yet been selected.
the NTH and probably last expedition
to the Philippines will await the re-
turning transports of the first expedi-
ton. the Australia, City of Sydney and
Picking.
The question of transports is still
somewhat of a vexed one. Some means
of transporting the LIST New York VOL
unteers which have been ordered to
garrison Honolulu will have to be Sc
cured within h next few days. and
the problem is now before the quarter
masters department. None of the
vessels of the Manila expedition will be
detached for this purpose, and 1t is
thought that one or more small vessels
adaptable for the short trip can be
chartered. The question will probably
be settled before the New York regi-
ment arrives OF Thursday.
Second Lieutenant Burdick of Com
pany H, South Dakota volunteers, has
been made first lieutenant and Ser
geant Buerdick of the same company
has been elevated to the rank of Sec

GOOD ADVICE.
FL impartial Says the Time for Peace
Has Arrived.

Fl impartial says the Time Tor Peace
Has Arrived.
New York, July ia copy Of Ell
impartial. issued June rs. has been re-
ceived here from Madrid. Discussing
the probability of peace negotiations,
Senior Romero Robledo addressed
his last speech to Senior Sagasta, saying
that since the government considers
peace as a necessity 1t should negotiate
for IL directly.
"Of all the factors of the problem OF
peace the most serious and decisive is
that of the fitness of time and circum-
stances on which peace Is TO be made.
Next in Importance is the factor point
ed out by Senior Robledo. Senior Sa-
gssta will have to think seriously over
this matter. One more mistake of this
kind would bring down on the head of
his excellency tremendous responsible
tiles.
I'VE have tried in vain for three
years to point out hat war with the
United States was the only possible
outcome of the war of insurrection.
We have worked hard and without any
result to induce the government 20
prepare for this struggle. SO futile
have been our efforts toward having
prompt assistance sent to the Philip
pines that now his new question con-
fronts us, we cannot overcome our bit
terness and encouragement.
1T is aid hat the present minister
of state is in constant conference with
the foreign ambassadors The infer
ence is that the subject of these con-
ference is peace. but inconsiderable as
yet and marked by inexperience.
Peace with the United States must
follow at once or 1t means civil war.
Peace with the United States must
either be reached with that country d.
rect or Spain will be in the lowest class
of European nations.
What will be the opportune m
for peace? The very moment when the
army and the people become convinced
that there is no other remedy but to
sue for it. Before that the army
would consider itself Inundated and
the people dissatisfied. Peace must
not be sued for through the interview
ton of mediators. for hat would make
the brokerage come high for us.
1.-The United States would feel more
inclined to negotiate in due time a peace
that would be honorable for us If We
sue for it directly than IL we leave it
to the Intervention of the powers of
Europe, whom the United States has
already learned not to fear, and on
account of whose intervention she
would take pleasure in making harder
the terms.
LET us give up what we may have
to give, but let us still maintain u
dignity"

For the first time In the history of placer

reports very unsatisfactory as TO the
years results, but IL Is not the fault OF
