EDITOR COURIER:
There seems to be some misunder
standing about the controversy over
the sewer before the council. Last
September an appropriation OF about
5000 was made to put in storm
water sewer from Twenty-seventh and
Vine street west two blocks to the
draw which runs thence northwest
to the Missouri Pacific railway, and
further appropriation Of about 81, 200
was made to extend the n street sewer
by an open channel straight west to
the new channel Of Salt creek. Mayor
Graham vetoed 10th and they were
passed over his veto, Webster and
Schroeder alone voting to sustain the
mayors veto. The water has made a
regular channel from the end Of the
N street sewer to the old channel OF
Salt creek and from there has unre-
stricted flow to Salt creeks new chan
mel, so there is no pressing need for
the N street extension.
When Twenty-seventh street was
graded and paved the engineers I'M
dertOOk to make the grade so that all
water south Of r street would turn
west on r street to the Antelope. This
did not do the work very we'll and the
people complained and the sixth and
seventh ward cOuncilmen said il
large storm water sewer was put in at
Twenty-seventh and r with proper
catch basins that it would carry of all
the water east and south that comes
in at that point, but no sooner was
this completed than new cry was
raised by the Seventh ward council
men that we must have storm water
sewer at Twenty-seventh and Vine
street. Now to fully understand this
we must remember that when that
portion of Twenty seventh street was
paved the grade north OF Vine on
Twenty-seventh was raised and a low
place or dip was made clear across
Twenty-seventh street so as to turn
the water west on Vine street to the
draw two blocks west that drained
this territory before Twenty-seventh
street was paved. The people Of that
part still complained Of the water at
this point and wanted something done.
Hence their councilman succeeded
last year in getting the appropriation
mentioned before. Now they want
the sewer built clear through to the
Antelope at a cost Of 81 800 more than
was appropriated for that purpose and
to get this money they propose to
use money that was appropriated for
other purposes, which is in plain viO-
latiOn of the charter. That the people
suffer some Inconvenience at thes
points do not doubt and so do they
all over the city at time Of very
heavy rainfall, but until the property
owners in this district bring their lots
up to grade they ought not to expect
the city TO impOverish itself for their
especial benefit.

Washington, June Is, 2:30 a. m.-Up to 2
O'Clock this morning neither the President
nor Secretary Alger had received official
news concerning the land engagement near
Santiago, which occurred yesterday morn
ing.
The Associated Press conveyed to both
the President and Secretary Alger the only
information concerning the battle which
they have received as yet.
Shortly before o'clock the story
of the engagement was read to
Secretary Alger through a tele-
phone by a representative of the Associat-
ed Press.
While the secre tary expressed the deep
est regret for the loss of the officers and
men he was greatly gratifed to learn that
the american forces had achieved what
appears to be a decisive victory and had
gained so excellent position for the heavy
enga cement which is confidently expected
to take place in day or two.
No Information concerning the officers
and men killed in the engagement could he
obtained at the war department as no
officers having charge of the muster rolls
were on duty
Capt Allyn X Capron, of Troop L.,
Roosevelt's Rough Riders, who is among
the killed, was a son of Capt. Allyn Cap
ron, FRS: Artillery, and was well known
in Washington. He was second lieuten-
ant of the Seventh Cavalry and recently
promoted to be a captain in the volunteer
service and was given command of Troop
L, of the Rough Riders. He was a young
and dashing officer and was regarded by
his superiors as one ofsthe most pronis-
ing cavalry officers in the service.

Madrid. June "a, 8 n. m.-The debate in

disorder.
Senor Romero Robiedo, the Conserva-

former minister of war, for treating with

interrupted with shouts of THAT is un-

A scene of the greatest confusion fol-
lowed, and the sitting was suspended.
When business was resumed, senor Rob-
ledo continued his remarks.
He asked IL the government desired
peace or war.
If peace, he added, Spain had better me-
gouato directly with the United States, as
-
mission in case they lntervened.
In the course Of his speech Senior Roble-
do censured the minister of marine Capt.
Aunon, and Admiral Cervera, accusing
the minister of having granted unpa-
triotic interviews
Capt. Aunon defended the navy He
said senor Robledos remarks were insult

patches received from the scene of action

Other persons not so well informed were
in a state of excitement all day. in antiei-
patton of an immediate attack upon San

Although the troops have been landed
there is still much 10 be done in the way
of preparation for the heavy work of
overcoming the fortifcations surrounding

Experienced officers appreciate the fact
that the task before Gen. shafter is not
childs play.
The best evidence of the seriousness Of
the situation IS established by the fact
that 10000 additional troops are to be sent
to Santiago.
AS previously stated, Porto Rico is tenn
porarily lost sight of, and the whole force
of Gen. Skaters army is to be thrown
against Santiago.
1t Is not generally known that such
large addition is 10 be made. to Gen. shaf-
ter's command, but it is a fact neverthe-
less that the transports which conveyed
the first expedition to Santiago have been
ordered back TO Tampa to get 10000 troops

GERMANY TO DE GOOD.
Has No Intention of MeddIinE With
Our Plans at Manila.

Washington, June A-The only impor-
tant development at to-day's cabinet meet
ing was the positive settlement of the ques-
ton of the attitude of Germany with res
pect to the Philippines
The Secretary of State has received as
surances which settles beyond question all
doubts on this point.
Germany has no intention, present or
prospective. of interfering in any way with
the policy or plans of the United States in
regard to the occupation of Abe islands.
It's attitude has been and will continue to
he one of strict neutrality.
This statement. coming from high official
sources. is accepted by this goyernment in
perfect good faith and is regarded as final
and conclusive.
No further attention viii be paid by this
government to any reports to the contrary,
which are constantly being sent out, IL is
believed in the interest of Spain.
In the official reports received from Ad-
miral Dewey at Manila there never has
been any intimation that Germany or any
other nation, by its naval representative,
has ever shown the least disposition to
overstep the line of strict neutrality, nor
has there been any reason to believe that
their sympathies were strongly with the
Spaniards in the present struggle.
1t can be stated positively that since
the arrival of Admiral Diederich with
German warships at Manila no instruo-
tions whatever relating to the Manila sit
uation have been sent from the German
foreign office to the German ambassador
at Washington, nor has the subject reach
ed a phase where Instructions of any kind
have passed during the last three weeks
This disposes of various reports, based
on the fact that DR.. Won Hollehen, the
German ambassador called on the Secre-
tary of State yesterday, that being the
regular diplomatic day
This statement is made from authortta-
tive sources to show that no basis exists
for the story that DR.. Won Holleben re-
quested and secured permission for the
landing of German marines at Manila, to
protect the German consulate.
1t is said at the navy department that
Admiral Dewey is the supreme authority
at Manila. If troops. marines or sailors
are landed at that place from any neutral
man-ofwar, 1t will be with his permis-
sion
1t is not questioned here that nation
may properly seek such permission when
it is deemed essential to protect its citi-
zens, it's consulate and its interests, but it
is usual in such cases for the neutral COM
mander to seek the permission of the in
vesting admiral, If it is possible, to prefer
the request.
No such landing by any possibility could
be properly construed into the acquire
ment of a right to remain in possession
of any territory in the Philippines, and
our government does not for a moment
contemplate that any of the European
Powers would attempt to set any such
claim which would be resisted to the full
extent of our military and naval power.
