great part OF the weight of the whole struo-

TO GET RID OF TWO TRUssES
RUNDLETvs PLANS FOR WIDEN
ING WABASHA STREET BRIDGE
Earth Fill VIII Take the Place of
the Present Two Southern
Spans in the Future.

City Engineer Rundlett is now pre-
pairing plans for the widening Of the
south end of the Wabasha street
bridge. The plan proposed by the city
engineer reduces the length of the
present south end of the structure
something like $50 feet, and this will.
rs a matter Of course, reduce material
ly the expense of the new half of the
structure.
It is the intention to use a fill from
the present end of the bridge on the
West side for a distance of ESQ feet
and this will do away with the last
two spans and part of the third one,
counting from the south end.
II the plans being prepared are car
ried out, a roadway of fifty feet will
be left open under the south end of the
bridge for travel and also for any rail-
road tracks which may be needed
The only trouble expected in car
rying out the plans is as to the fund
from which the money is to be paid.
When the budget was made up last
year, 100000 was appropriated toward
the widening of the south end Of the
bridge. 1t was stated at the time that
it would cost about $4,000 to make
the south end of the structure as wide
as the present north end. This esti-
mate was on the theory that new
the bridge made the same length as
now. The plan Of the engineer in US
ing fill instead of trusses, it is esti-
mated, will reduce the expense to not
to exceed 100000. With the 10000
now in the bridge repair fund for this
specific purpose, it is urged that, with
the amount now in the Broadway
bridge fund.- some $67, 900, there would
be enough money to cEhnge over the
bridge.
The matter will no doubt be consid-
cred at the next meeting Of the board
and assembly, when the detailed plans
will be submitted by the engineer.
The plans provide for the widening
of the new part of the bridge so as to
provide a roadway thirty-six feet wide
and sidewalks on each side ten feet
wide.
The north end of the bridge is now
being replanked. and the work Of re-
paving with brick will be commenced
this week. City Engineer RundIett ex-
poets the rnving will be completed
within two weeks.

in that. The men want to get home as
soon as possible.
Lieut.. Bunker said that Capt. Bjorn-
stad, who was twice shot in the back
during the battle of Manila. accompa-
MED him as far as Nagasaki, Japan.
Capt. Bjornstad, in spite Of his wounds,
was feeling very well, and, except for
slight weakness. did not appear to
have been injured by the bullets,
though one passed through the lobe of
one lung. The other bullet ripped his
shoulder. Capt. Seebach was shot in
the breast, but was convalescent.
A statement by Private Overmire, Of
Company 1, OF Minneapolis, complain
ing that the regimental fund was not
expended in Manila for the purpose
for which 1t was intended was shown
to Lieut.. Bunker. Lieut.. Bunker said
he could not speak with authority on
the subject OveTmire charged gross
mis- management Of the hospital at Ca
vite, and said sick men were allowed
to remain there without care or atten-
ton. In one instance a surgeon was
unable to perform an amputa ton after
he had commenced to operate on a
wounded soldier, end hospital stew
ard was obliged to complete it. For
tUnately for the soldier. the steward
knew his business and the operation
was a success.
L DeHeVe that statement, said
Lieut.. Bunker, "to be true I heard
OF that case and Of others like it, and
I guess the Cavite hospital was badly
managed. There was one doctor there
who did not know much about medi-
cine, and who continually prescribed
wrong medicines for PATIENTS
Private Overmire also charged that q
DR.. DayWalt, one Of the contract sur
geons. who came lack to this country
with the sick men, extorted money
from him for the use Of stateroom to
which he was entitled. OVermire had
to pay SIS for the stateroom.
That is true said Lieut.. Bunker.
'Daywalt tried to make me pay for my
stateroom, but I would not have it.
complained to the captain, who said
he wns powerless as long as they were
aboard ship, but. as soon as the boat
arrived at San Francisco. he would
make complaint against Daywalt
Daywalt should have treated my
wound on the passage but he did not
look at it after the first day out. The
only treatment I received on the way
back was from Private William Murk-
land, of Company d, and hospital
steward.

landed we had a view of battle. We
could trace the course Of Spanish shells
over the American lines and the re-
turn fire and the scene was wonderfully
exciting, though some of us were not
as anxious as we had been to partici-
pate in hostilities. Then Dewey noti-
fed the Spanish that if any more
Smelling was INDUCED in he would bonn
bard the city, and the fighting ceased.
The Spanish knew the city would be
taken and that there was no hope of
successful resistance, but they declared
some blood must be spilled for the sake
OF Spanish honor, and Dewey told them
they would have to supply most of the
blood. And so they did. AS we We're
landing Dewey's fleet took position to
lombard the city and the fleets of other
powers took stations where they would
not interfere with Dewey But the
British fleet moved over near us and
stripped for action, while the Monterey
trained her guns directly upon the Ger
man ships and kept them so during
the entire battle. The Monterey did
not have occasion to fire a shell, no
doubt to the disappointment of the gun
ners.
las soon as the city surrendered our
troops moved in and planted the flags
on all the principal buildings. The
Thirteenth was designated as the regi-
ment to raise the American flag ON that
portion OF the city to which it was de-
tailed.
IN THE HOSPITAL.
THE hospital to which I was taken
was formerly an arsenal or barracks.
The nccommoda tons there were very
good. 1 was we'll treated and I heard
of no complaints from others. The hos
pital corps was engaged In nursing the
sick and did as we'll as men can under
such circumstances. I was in the hos
pital all the time while in Manila and
Eod no opportunity to view the city.
The hospital is on the bank of the
Pasig river, and, when I was brought
away, [ was transported to the steam
er in boat
81 did not see any Spanish in the
hospital, but there were three or four
natives. They were victims Of curios-
ity. A group Of ten were examining
a shell that had not been used, and
they tested it to see If 1t was loaded.
Six suddenly disappeared and the 9TH
ers were brought to the hospital.
The natives are dininutive people.
The men grow to the height Of five
feet four or five inches. Everyone
smokes cigarettes. Children in arms
smoke. A mother will take a Whit at
a cigarette and then stick it in her
child's mouth. The little ones take as
naturally to cigarettes as our children
take to bottles.

porter for The G / o b how it was that
he did not get good shot at the
Spanish. He was deeply disappointed
that he did not have a chance to show
his Workmanship, for he was sure that
had he not first been shot, the Spanfard
up the tree would have had cause to
admire it.
There were many Spaniards con-
cealed In trees behind the wall" said
Lieut.. Bunker. 'They were supposed to
be sharpshooters, but they could not
hit anything. They all fired wild. NV

horseshoe with the open end of the shoe to
lace the wharf or landing. In the center of
the car is the cabin for foot passengers
ntted with every convenience necessary for
their comfort.
The platform Of this car will be sufficient
Iy roomy to also accommodate horses and
carriages, as we'll electric cars. They will
drive on the right hand side and around the
platform until they face the landing when
the driver will be confronted with a closed
gate, compelling him to remain in the posi-
ton taken until he is carried across the
river.
For conveying electric cars across the
stream trolley wire circles the horseshoe
shaped platform. This wire is to be run from
the hanging cars on to the pier on the arms
and pass through the platform, which COW
ers the pier, and there connects with troll
ley wire, which is hung from the inside
of the platform, the latter as you will un-
derstand, forming a ceiling for the room
within the pier. This wire will be hung from
the ceiling and forms a circle around the
same: A trolley is to rest against the wire
so when the platform moves the trolley will
run on the wire and transmit power to the
hanging cars. The power is to be used to
lght and heat the hanging cabins and for
operating the electric cars.

a MERRY=0o=RoUND FERRY

/ Invented by an Ingenious New Brunswicker and Is
Considered Success

A merry go-round ferry is the lat
est product of tie inventive genius.
This device has been contrived and per-
fected by Edward Ryan. of Midtown,
N. B. AS an inventor Mr.. Ryan is well
known, as he has invented a novel
wave motor and dozens of minor ap-
planes, many of which are now in
use. Asked to describe his latest and
most unique patent, he said:
In the first place, for the erection of my
merry-go-round ferry a great substantial
pier IS constructed in the middle of the river
on firm foundation built up from the river
bed. This pier will be hollow, with heavy
brlck walls. On the top Of the pier will rest
an immense steel track, which will be cir
cular in form. On this track run large rollers.
On these rollers will rest a round steel plat
form which covers the pier. An immense
tube or cylinder is attached to the platform
ana thence runs down the center of the pier
AT the bottom this tube is provided with
bau-bearing grooves, which will run large
steel balls, the cylinder also being provided
near its top with other ball bearings
'On the platform tall steel tower. quite
ornamental in design and conspicuous for a
great steel arms will be attached to the base
of this tower. A large steel cable is de-
signed to pass over the top of the tower and
will be securely attached to the arm ends
