The city controller will finish pruning the
estimates by Monday, and Monday night,
estimates will be submitted to the Council
in the form of the appropriation ordinance.
The ordinance will go into the hands Of the
finance committee. The Council may cut
the figures further, but it has no right TO
enlarge them.
1t is believed the city administration will
be able to scrape through next year with
possibly a 100000 loan if it is decided TO buy
the water works on the 81 100000 income:
Next fall there is a reappraisement OF real
estate, which, 1t is expected Will bring the
city large returns in the assessment. CITY

for this tidal wave, even If loans had TO be
made instead of raising the tax levy. 1T
is much easier to raise the tax levy than to
lower it again" saws Mr.. Johnson.

LOOKING FOR
 SPEEDY SHIPS Prompt Decision of the Gov ernment to Re-enfOrce
 Dewey.
Indication That the Australia and Gaelic Will Be Char
 tered.

Events of worldwide importance which must immediately follow Commodore Deweys magnificent conquest at Manila are destined to bring San Francisco into prominence as the base of operations on the Pacific Coal for the cruisers and supplies of all kinds for the squadron in Asiatic waters will be shipped from this port Already San Francisco is dividing honors with New York and Key West as a point of prominence from a naval and military reckoning.
 Yesterday and last night the wire con- meeting the Navy Department in Wash ington and navy headquarters in this city were busy transmitting important messages concerning the employment of a swift expedition to convey to Commo- dore Dewey supplies of fuel, food and ammunition.
 George H. Griff1ng. pay inspector United States navy, was directed by the Secre- tary of the Navy to charter two of the speediest steamships at this port for inn mediate dispatch to Hongkong. This mes sage signifies that the President and Cab inet have resolved to sustain Commodore Dewey in holding the advantages gained by the valor and nerve of his gallant squadron. At this time no one can fore shadow the complications that may arise in the occupation of the Philippine Islands, but the fact is obvious that naval opera tions on the Pacific are to cut a much larger figure in the calculations of the campaign than many of the commanders first imagined.
 The swiftest steamers of large class in this port at present are the Australia and the Gaelic. It Is highly probable that the Government will demand the services of both. Negotiations for the charter of the Australia were entered into yesterday between John D. Spreckels Bros 6, Go. and Pay Inspector Griffing. The points at issue necessarily involved free interchange of ideas and figures over the wires
 The Gaelic is owned by English parties and is chartered by the o. and O. Com pany.

 Although various plans were dis cussed, it seemed to be the general opinion that the Red Cross League and Sanitary. Commission of California owes it's first duty to California's sons.
