but will fill all interclses and bind the
bricks together, thus forming a smooth
surface and compact mass.
The curb along the straight, will
be four inches thick and two feet deep,
projecting above the pave level on an
average of six inches. This curb Will
cost forty-two cents per lineal foot
Its outside edge ledge facing toward
street, Is bevelled, thus adding beauty
to the curb face and preventing any
chipping whore wagon wheels might
rub. AT all street and court corners
the circular curb will be placed. This
curb will be six inches thick and two
feet deep. This will cost nlnety-five
cents per lineal foot. TO give one an
idea how much better this style OF cor
ner curbng Is over the square corner
you have but to draw a part circle
with a ten-foot radius and note the
four feet and two inches saved from
square corner ten foot TO the side,
for, turning purposes Of traffic. Besides
the corner always looks nice and needs
little repairing after the scraping OF
heavy wagons turning on corner.
Twenty-six circular curbs will be put
in. this number being required.
Now. at all street intersections, the
pave will be so laid that it will nearly
reach the sidewalk level, thus doing
away with Jump offs" or gratings.
City Engineer Phillips is preparing
such an arrangement for the runway
leading from the Franklin Fire engine
quarters, corner of Hyde Park avenue
and Wymbs court. Two new sewer
basins will be put in along the street,
and will be the Pierce Duplex catch
basin style. one of these was recent
ly placed at the corner of wyoming
avenue and Spruce street. The pres
ent basins will all be remodelled. The
cost of this work being included in the
paving price.
The trouble of pave repairs which Is
very evident now, concerning the as
phalt paves, will be almost entirely
avoided in connection with this pave.
City Engineer Phillips had this very
feature properly cared for in the spec
itications. After the work is fully COM
pleted an examination will be made
under conditions favorable to all con-
Cerned. Should the work prove per-
feCtly satisfactory ii will be accepted.
From this date of formal acceptance
the work will be covered by a five
year guarantee, no matter how long
the day of acceptance follows after
the completion of the work. Then at
the end of this five-year term another
! examination will be made. Should the
! work have deteriorated in any man
/ ner whatsoever to the extent of 10
| per cent more than the usual wear and
! tear, proper repairs must be made by
| or at the expense of the contracting
| company. Thus in every reasonable
sense the city engineer has protected
| the city and abutting property owners
| with fair play to the contractors.
The company which was awarded the
| cO.Stract upon their own bid is Tho Al
| catraz Paving company, of Philadel-
| phia. and will he represented here by
| j. r. DiXey, of Philadelphia. 1t is eX-
pected that they will procure most OF
! their labor right here. The city en-
| gineer's force have had the lines and
| grades ready for sometime awaiting
the beginning of the work.

PANDO Makes A FAILURE
Cannot Re-enforce the Spanish
Army at Santiago.
MOVES FROM MANZANILL0
His Battalions, fastening to Sup
port Linnres, After an Earnest
Attempt to Comply With Blnnco's
Orders. Turn Back-His Troops In
equal to the Difficult Task.

Kingston, Jamaica, June s.-Advices
| from Juragua state that information has
| been received at Army headquarters at
| that point to the effect that the re-en-
| forcements Gen. Linares. commanding
at Santiago. expected to receive from
Pando's forces in Eastern Cuba. have
| not been able to reach Santiago.
Five battalions. aggregating 10000 men,
under Pando. were ordered by Captain
General Blanco to proceed with all posi-
bic haste from ManzaniIlo toward Santi-
ago. and the Spaniards based their only
| hope of repelling the invasion on the
prompt arrival of Pando's forces about
Santiago.
Gen. Garcia, the moment he heard u.
Gen. Pandos advance. grasped the i'm
portance of the movement. and bent all
his energies to intercept the Spanish
troops. He sent out his most trusted
scouts, and gave explicit instructions that
they should report to him al the earliest
moment.
These scouts made hazardous journeys
| to the west and north of Santiago. They
secured every route over which Gen.
Pando might advance. but they were
able to get no trace of the Spanish re-
endorsements. Gen. Garcia would allow
no relaxation in the search, however.
and had his mind bent on intercepting
Pando when Gen. Shafter arrived with
| his army OFF Santiago.
One of the first matters Gen. Garcia
brought to Gen. Skaters attention was
the question of preventing Pando from
| joining Linares in Santiago. Gen. Gar
cia had not at his command a force
strong enough to face Pando's ten thou
sand troops, but he felt confident that
the Cubans could hold the Spanish re-
endorsements in check until Gen. Shat
ter could send troops to aid in driving
them back from the beleaguered city.
Gen. Garcias scouts, although they ap-
parently displayed unceasing vigilance
were unable to get any news of Pando's
movements. As day after day passed
the Cuban general became more uneasy.
and Gen. Shafter was much perplexed
as to Pando's whereabouts.
The information which comes from
Manzanillo has set at rest the fears of
both the American and Cuban command
ers. They. b3leve that Pando's men
either were unequal to the difficult march
from ManzaniI1o TO Santiago. or else that
Gen. Linares. realizing the hopelessness
of his position. sent word that it was
useless to send these additional troops to
that point.
If Gen. Pando succeeded in forming a
junction with Gen. Linares it would be
of but temporary benefit. Gen. Shafter,
having obtained a desirable landing place
and established permanent headquarters
within commanding distance of Santiago.
the fall of the city would be but a ques-
ton of time. Additional American forces
would be rushed to Santiago. and when
the Spanish defeat came it would mean
the surrender of that many more Span
ish troops.
