proposition to the people of issuing sewer and high school bonds, 1 shall faVor including sufficient amount to enable us to provide the city with clear water. The sentiment of the people on the clear-Water proposition was dem onstrated when the vote on it was taken few years ago, and now that this plan will in no manner affect the city's ownership, but as a matter of 1act Will Increase her revenue, 1 am sure that 1t will pass by an over whelming vote. I have lived fin Sacra- mento a good many years, and if dur ing my present term of office I can contribute my mite to the end of fur n1shlng this city with clear water shall be satisfied with my work as a public servant. The time is ripe for this movement and I shall not stop until every stone is turned in this step of progress, advancement, health, pride and luxury. Our river water purified Is the best water in the world, to the homes of Sacramento a supply that is clear, cool and sparkling. that day will mark new epoch in our progress"
 Henry F. Brown, in speaking of the project advanced by pr. Tebbetts, said:
 'fI am in favor of obtaining a clear WdlcI Supply, dIQ II lHe uOClOI pldIl is reasonable and certain l shall do all in my power to secure its adoption. If for the expenditure of S30.000 we can provide Sacramento with clear water, and still maintain the city's proprie- torship, l think we would be recreant to our trusts not to do it. Why, at this time the poor people of Sacramento are paying out enough money every month for the rental of filters to pay the interest on $30,000 and provide for a sinking fund as well. Take the prop osition of providing our public schools with filters: Their original cost added to the expense of maintaining them in proper repair would itself pay the in terest on $30000. On the other hand, if we were, to raise this amount by the issuance of bonds the tax would fall evenly, and where a hundred families now rent filters at s1 per month, their pro rata in providing for the interest on the bonds would be so small that they would not appreciate it. I am in favor of clear water for Sacramento, and as long as I am a member of the Board of Trustees I shall do all in my power to bring.it about. Now that the principal source of our river defiie- ment will be suspended, our people have taken new hope, and will not be satisfied until the full limit of our pos abilities In the matter of pure drink ing water has been reached"

FILTRATION OF
 RIVER WATER Plan Suggested by City Trustee TebbettS of
 Sacramento. Has Been Proved a Success in Other Cities and Costs
 but $9O,OOO. Favors the Use of . Warren Filter in Connection With the Pump
 ing Plant
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

SACRAMENTO, May 13.-The Calls triumph, in bringing about the means by which the practice of polluting the drinking water of Sacramento will be stopped, will not end with this signal achievement. So thoroughly have the people been aroused to the dangers of present conditions that nothing will satisfy them short of a pure water supply. Trustee F. F. Tebbets, chair man of the Water Committee of the City Council, in speaking of the situa- | tion, said this evening:
 Good for The Call for stirring this matter up. No better service could be extended to our people than this one, which has resulted in not only eradi- eating an evil we have contended with for years. but, in my opinion, has so aroused the people that they will not stop until pure. clear water flows through the mains of Sacramento City. I have made a study of the various plans and suggestions offered for the treatment of Sacramento River water and have come to the conclusion that the Warren filter will best answer the purpose and meet the requirements of our people. The Warren filter plant usually consists of @ settling basin, one or more filters, a weir for control ling the head, together with necessary pipe connections. This system could be applied to the present pumping plant and in no manner alter the pres ent system, save an alteration which everybody will favor-that is, clear, wholesome water. The plan I am In favor of will be no experiment, as thete are over 100 of these filters now in use in as many different cities throughout the United States. I be- lieve that for $30,000 we could erect a Altering plant in connection with our present water works that would furnish us with over 100000 gallons of pure, clear water a day.

WILL DECIDE FUSION'S FATE Delegates En Route to the Conference in San
 Francisco. POpuliSts Intend to Force the Nomip ation of Lane for
 Congress.
Silver Republicans Willing to Con- code Anything to Effect Union
 of Forces.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, May 13-To-mor- row delegations of Democrats, Popu- lists and Silver Republicans will leave here for San Francisco to attend the meeting of the fusion committee of the three parties which is called to meet at the Palace Hotel on Monday at 2 p. m.
 The Populists at this end of the State are thoroughly alive to the fact that their State convention has been called too early, and that this fact may materially interfere with fusion arrangements. The Populist city and county committees have both met and requested that the State committee postpone the date from July 12 to some later time.
 Among the Democrats here consid- erable dissatisfaction was caused by the appointment of John w. Mitchell as chairman of the Democratic end of the fusion committee. Mitchell has al- ways been opposed to fusion, and his pretended friendship for fusion now is regarded with suspicion by those who really favor 1t. His appointment has caused great dissatisfaction among the leaders here.
 One thing Is certain: If the Popu- lists do not agree to change the date or their convention the motive of hold ing 1t so early will soon become appar- ent It is believed that by pursuing the policy they have the Populists in tend to force the nomination of Charles D. Lane and renomination of Charles A. Barlow for Congress in the Sixth District. Silver Republicans here seem to be willing to concede anything that is reasonable to bring about a union of forces. They have no particular can d Ia fn- fAy~ nffr <fz expect several places on the State ticket if a union is effected.

. NEW YORK, May 19.-General o Wesley Merritt, commander of . the Department of the East, who . has been appointed military gov . ernor of the Philippines, return 1 ed from Washington to his home
 q on Governors Island late on o Thursday night. When seen to-
 . day he said he probably would

 ! General Merritt said he would ] not sail with the first expedition for the Philippines. That will be | commanded by General Otis, l who will be in command at Ma | nila until General Merritt ar ] rives. He will stay in San Fran : cisco to see that the second ex- l petition is properly equipped and : organized.
 ' During the conference with . the President on Thursday after ' noon, General Merritt expressed . the opinion that the army of oc-
 . cupation should consist of at
 ' least 10000 men, and he thinks . that this suggestion will be fol- . lowed. General Merritt does not . know who his successor in com . mand of the Department of the
 ' East will be. He recommended . Brigadier General John I. Rogers

that while Sampson's slow moving fleet might be unable to catch up with the Span iards should they cut across for Havana Commodore Schley's ocean-going grey hounds can stop them. Should the Spaniards conclude to try to reach Havana without go- ing through the WindWard Passage, but steam instead round Cape San Antonio, the western extremity of the lsl- and of Cuba, Schley's flyers would still be able to get there before them, the dis tance from Port au Prince to Havana along the northern coast being considerably less than via the southern coast around Cape San Antonio.
 The conclusion is, there fore, that the Spaniards can not escape us and that their fleet will be destroyed within the next few days. Realizing this, it was decided by the President to postpone the in vasion of Cuba by our land forces until the Spanish yes vels are disposed of. The combined American fleets, reinforced by the powerful battle-ship Oregon, will then lombard the Havana batteries and shell the city, while Co., GOO American soldiers and the insurgent army will march on the city from the rear. Alto gether the prospects are that the Spanish-American war will have ended within a few weeks and passed into history. This is the belief of army and navy officers and it is shared by Washington peo- pie generally.
 Among members of the Cabinet the news of the Spanish fleet was received with great satisfaction. None of them doubted the ability or purpose of Sampson to de- stroy 1t. His fleet is superior at nearly all points, and the result is the test of naval strength will be awaited with perfect confidence.
 The admiraPs instructions give him a wide range of discretion, the Governmentre- lying implicitly upon his good judgment. He has been kept constantly advised so far as practicable as to events since he sailed, but he has not been hampered in his movements to any degree.

mlfdl 1nlgnt change ms course and either sail south to meet the Oregon and Marietta or else seek to eVade Sampson by making for Havana via the WindWard Passage, the chan neI between Hayti and Cuba. It was decided that Sampson had enough coal to last him for a two days trip and plen- ty of ammunition, and that 1t was wiser to meet the enemy and give battle rather than take the chances of again losing sight of them. Ac- cordingly Sampson was ca bled to sail immediately for Martinique and keep a sharp lookout for the Spaniards. The scouting cruisers Yale and Harvard were assigned to duty to the northwest of the WindWard Islands, the Yale on the regular steamer track between Martinique and Havana and the Harvard to keep the>enemy constantly in sight. The fast newspaper boats now with Sampson will also be of invaluable service to him in this emergency.
 So, all in all, any chance of the Spaniards eluding us is hardly worth consideration, but to guard against any pos sible mischance the flying squadron at Hampton Roads was ordered to intercept the Spanish fleet should it sail northWesterly for Havana via the WindWard Passage. The Navy Department officials did not admit that this is Com modore Schley's destination, but there is hardly a doubt of it. It is 425 miles from San Juan to Fort de France. If it shall be decided by the Span ish to remain there for several days to coal Simpsons fleet will give them battle when they emerge from the harbor. Our squadron, sailing at a speed of ten knots an hour, would cover the distance in about forty hours, but if this Spanish fleet is north bound a battle on the high seas may be expected tomorrow.
 It is believed that the Span iards will be able to obtain coal at Martinique. alleging that they are steaming for one. of their home ports and, therefore, exempt from the operation of the neutrality law, and that the French sym pathiZers with the Spanish cause will readily furnish both coal and other supplies. At 10 o'clock tonight a dispatch from Martinique says that one torpedo-boat is in the harbor, the other six boats outside.
 At this mornings brief ses- sion of the Cabinet the inter- esting and important question was discussed as to what Sampson should do in case the Spaniards enter and re- main in the French harbor. He would be short of coal, probably, and could not stand o lo~, xy;cY;I D01;I~- f L.
