NO GROVE STREET TROLLEY
Mayor Refuses to Sign Ordi-
nance and 1t Dies
Today.

The ordinance now before the Street
and Water Board allowing the North
Hudson County Railroad to substitute
electricity for horse power on its Grove
street line will die today. Mayor Hoos
has refused to approve the ordinance un-
less the company agrees to pay five per
cent. of it's gross receipts. The company
will not submit to such a proposition.
William D. Edwards, counsel for the COM
pany, waited on Mayor Hoos again this
morning and appealed to him to forego
his demand for the live per cent. of the
gross receipts. Mr. Edwards declared that
property owners all along the street want
trolley cars to replace the horse cars.
For half an hour Mr.. Edwards argued
with the Mayor in his characteristic way.
His Honor remained firm, however, and
declared Five per cent. of the gross re-
ceiptS on the ordinance will not be ap-
proved by me- Mr. Edwards departed.
There are three votes for the ordinance
in the Street and Water Board
Neither Commissioner Heintze nor Bolt
wood will vote for the ordinance if the
Mayor proposes vetoing it. Neither will
they vote to override the Mayors veto.
Commissioner Nolan will pigeonhole the
ordinance.
I Counsel Edwards says the company will
never again make an effort to establish
a trolley line in Grove streN.

CERVERA BOTTLED UP..


KEY WEST, Fla, May 25, 1S9S.-Q1 A.
M.)-There is nothing definitely known
here about the possible operations in
Eastern Cuba, but the view is accepted
at this place as fact that the Spanish
tieet is blockaded In Santiago harbor. in
which event the naval opinion here is
that the Spanish fleet has committed
suicide"
1t is now no breach of confidence to
say that Commodore Schley and Rear
Admiral Sampson are believed to have
Admiral Cervera in their reach, and, If
the Spaniards are in Santiago harbor,
they can be bleckaded and starved out.
A single. heavy American vessel can hold
the harbor's narrow exit, through which
the Spaniards could emerge only singly.
not composed of heavily armored vessels.
Indeed, any of Admiral Simpsons S battle
ships could, in the opinion of naval ex-
perls, engage the entire Spanish fleet
with a fair chance of coming off vic
torious. The American Commander has
not only ships for battle but for. the
chase as well. This is the view here,
where the movements of the American
fleet are approximately well KNOWN
Among naval officers and people at Key
West generally there is the most thor
ough confidence in the skill and energy
of both the American Commanders and
it is believed their triumph in West In
dian waters is assured

LONDON RUBBISH.
Latent Enmity to America
Breaks OUT Al
lance Snare.


LONDON, May 25, ls9S.-In the news
papers today there aer several striking
instances of American and anti-American
feeling. While the majority of the papers
allude with pleasure to the reference to
the Queen in yesterdays celbrations at
New York and Tampa and in the prayer
of the Chaplain of the Senate. the Morn
ing Post" has allowed to appear in its
columns a violent denunciation OF America
from the Hon. Stuart Erskine, a brother
of Baron Erskine, who alludeS TO Amer
ica's present immoral warfare against
Spain," and asserts that the sentiment
OF the country which is worth having is
for Spain.
Gazette which has hitherto been bitterly
anti-Americaii, seems to be becoming
much more friendly. 1t says, regarding
the disposition to blame America for the
slow progress of the war:-.Sailors who
know the Pacific and the Caribbean Seas
are we'll aware that delay is the essence
of naval war. They remember that
Nelson found difficulty to discover the
Spanish fleet somewhere between Ja-
naica and Cadiz. and they realize that
this slow procession is not interesting.
But the presence of the gunboatS around
the sullen island means that the Ameri-
cans are getting the range of every gun
of the batteries that will later on oppose
the landing of the troops, just as Nelson
did on a similar occasion
The .sW estminster Gazette strongly adj
vocates distinct understanding between
the the United States and Great Britain
1t says:-"The Americans are not going
to step out of their Continent without
raising a variety of questions which will
involve them with the European powers.
Their Monroeism, insofar as it relates to
South America, is likely to be questioned
anew, and a European squeeze is likely to
be applied to them from many parts.
Therefore it is highly desirable for them.
as well as for US, that there should be
a. British American understanding, and it
behooyes both countries to consider be-
times some of the essential business as
poets of the matter.
The fund being raised by the Countess
Valencia, wife of the former Spanish
Ambassador here, for the relief of the
Spanish wounded, has received several
important aristocratic additions, including
Lady Clanwilliam and the Duke of Wei
lington, who sent $500

THOSE WATER FIGURES.
Board of Trade Smelling Conn
mittee Still Poking About
the City Hall.

Mr.. Samuel Mount of the Board of Trade
Committee, appointed to investigate the
water account of the Street and Water
Board, was at City Hall again today. Mr..
Mount had with him all the reports from
which Mayor Hoos made up his state
ment of the accounts condition. The
other members Of the committee Dr.
Gordon and Joseph A. Dear, have begun
an investigation of the papers which were
given them by Mayor Hoos.
Mr. Mount spent a half hour in the Wa
ter Assessors office looking over various
accounts, and then went to Comptroller
Hough's office. For an hour the gentle
men were in consultation. Comptroller
Hough showed Mr. Mount the manner in
which the water accounts are kept, and
also pointed out the fact that the Mayor $
statement relative to the water depart-
ment was practically copied from the
books as they appear in his (the Comp
troller's) office.
Mr. Mount was satisfied before he left
the Comptroller's office that the Mayor $
report is correct, notwithstanding the
fact that the Journal thinks otherwise.
The Board of Trade Committee will fin
ish its investigation before the end OF the
week

PAvoNlA AVENUE TO BE PAVED.
Street and Water Board Will Prob.
ably Act This Afternoon.

The Street and Water Commissioners,
at their meeting this afternoon, will
doubtless order the improvement of Pa
vonia avenue, from the ferry to Grove
street, in the same manner Montgomery
street has been paved between Hudson
and Washington streets. Chief Engineer
Van Keuren has prepared specifications
for the work. Commissioner Nolan had
a talk with the Mayor on the subject at
noon today. 1t is proposed to utilize the
old paving blocks which were removed
from Montgomery street, and which will
be taken out of Pavonia avenue in repav-
ing short streets in the lower section of
the city.
Mayor Hoos has mapped out great
quantity of. public work. If the Street
and Water Commissioners show a dis
position to do pretty nearly as the May
or wishes, they may be given control of
the special street fund.

John j. Broderick, to recover 81. .4S5.50, for
suppers furnished for the guests at the

and that the extra portions he claimed to

responsibility.
