the piece through perfectly, or part
Of it, I would put one of the peas in
my pocket. That would leave five
peas, and when I had played it
through perfectly a second time l
would put another pea in my pocket.
And so I would go on until ] had
played it through perfectly six times
in succession, and all the peas were
in my pockets. But if I made sin

six peas back on the rack and begin

FARCE NOT NEAR AN ENDING
LATEST NOTICE TO THE WATER
 COMPANY.
City Officials Faithfully Observing the Terms of Contract That Will Never Be En-
 forced.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 LOS ANGELES, June 21-The City Council to-day completed another act of the farce which can properly be termed the carrying out of the terms of a contract which is never going to be enforced. At it's session this morning the Council decided to issue no bonds in advance of learning the price to be fixed for the water company's plant by arbitration. It then proceeded with great deliberation and with apparent earnestness to declare it was ready to arbitrate and invited the water com pany to join in the arbitration. After this had been done an adjournment to Friday was taken.
 While everything that the Council is now doing in this matter for the pur- pose of complying with the contract is known by those who have studied the question to be absolutely useless, no single Councilman seems to have suf- ficient courage to stand up and tell his colleagues and the people that muni- cipal ownership is not going to be ob- tained.
 Mayor Snyder has returned to the city. He says he was not absent on municipal business, but was attending to private matters. He was present at the session of the Council to-day and is closely watching events, but is power less to do anything.

AMERICANS SLAIN BY
 BLANCO'S BLOODY PEN
Official Report of the Repulse of a Landing Force at Punta
 Cabrera.

HAVANA, . June 21-On Friday morning last the United States battle ship Texas, it is announced, endeav- ored to cover the landing of an Ameri- can force at Punta Cabrera, Province of Santiago de Cuba, but, the report adds, the Americans were repulsed by the Spanish troops under Colonel AL dea, with the loss of several men. The firing, 1t is further asserted, lasted a half hour.
 It is announced at the palace that a Spanish guerrilla force had been en- gagged with a body of insurgents near the railroad at Dagame, Province of Havana. The insurgents. it appears, exploded a dynamite bomb and the guerrillas captured another and similar bomb before it could be exploded; after which the insurgents are said to have retired with losses. The Spaniards had three men wounded.
 Another palace announcement sets forth that six Spanish sailors recently surprised an American camp near Cayo Piedra, not far from Cardenas, Prov ince of Matanzas, capturing kitchen utensils and provisions" But it seems "other Americans appeared, fired on the Spaniards and pursued them until they reached the Spanish gunboat Deign, which was struck by a Mauser bullet"

TOWN TRUSTEES CHALLENGED
TEST OF THE ORDINANCE TO

Heads of the Gambling Concern to Be Arrested To-Day-What They Threaten to Do in Re-
 taliation.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAUSALITO. June 21.-Glynn, Broy- CT and Humphrey to-day cast down the gauntlet to the Board of Town Trustees and opened their poolrooms opposite the Buffalo Hotel, in order to test the validity of the ordinance which empowers the Trustees to grant or withhold licenses for poolrooms at wile Up to late hour no arrests had been made, but the board held several con- sultations in regard to the mode of procedure, and finally came to an un- derstanding that tomorrow the various members of the rival concern shall all be placed under arrest. The dealers in question have told Justice Belroot that they intend to swear out warrants for the arrest of both Harrison and Har- vey in case they themselves are molest- ed, though the grounds were not men, toned.
 The general sentiment seems to favor the action of the Trustees. The new bedrooms were busy to-day, the crowd surging back and forth between them and Harrison's rooms, to the disad- vantage of Harvey.

SAILS AMID RINGING CHEERS
DEAFENING WHISTLES AND A
 SEA OF FLAGS.
Monitors Voyage to Manila Will Begin as Soon as Her Consort Is
 Ready.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VALLEJO, June 21.-Amid a din of Bteam whistles, waving of flags and cheers of throngs of people, the moni- tor Monadnock cast off her lines at Mare Island this morning and slowly steamed down the strait and out of sight around Mare Island. The depar- ture was made the occasion of great demonstration, as the vessel was launched in Vallejo fifteen years ago and completed by Vallejo mechanics at Mare Island, going into commission in 1S96
 It was shortly after II o'clock when the ship left the quay wall at Mare Island. As her lines dropped away and her propellers began to churn the water the crews of the Pensacola, Rush and Corwin broke into hearty cheers, which were answered by the crew of the mon- 1tor. The Workmen on Mare Island gathered in groups and added their cheers to the din that bade the fighting vessel farewell. The SeamStreSSeS in the flag loft crowded the windows, way ing bright-hued bunting, and Captain Whiting and his gallant crew acknowl- edged the patriotic display by waving their caps and hearty cheers. Pass ing the Independence the crew of the receiving ship manned the rigging and FOOT or the old vessel ana cheered the Monadnock again and again, the blue jackets on the latter vessel heartily responding.
 On the way down the bay the whis- ties of every steamer, tug, launch and factory sent out a long farewell to the departing vessel.
 The Monadnock will lie at San Fran cisco till the cargo of her consort, the Nero, is completed, when she will sail for Manila via Honolulu.
 The coast defense steamer Monadnock came down from, the navy-yard yester- day. She left Mare Island at 20 a. m. and made a quick run to the city. The Nero is almost ready for sea and the chances are. that she and the Monadnock will get away with the fleet of transports next Monday

 PARIS. June 21.-Germany' repudia- tion of any intention to intervene in the Philippines is received only half heartedly here. The Journal des De- bats Berlin correspondent lets the cat out of the bag. According to him America does not hold the Philippines 1 It is the natives who menace them more than the Americans. This "chop logic" is used to show that Germany may be compelled to step in.
 If Spain loses this colony" says Des Debats, it could only become native ] republic"
 ! You will notice nothing is said about the fact that only Admiral Dewey S victory made Aguinaldo's successes possible. Such a republic must be re- garded by the whole of Europe as com promising the progress of civilization in those regions. If Russia France and England were brought to intervene, then only could Germany break away from her strict neutrality. Frances action would depend upon what Rus sia did. Germany might, therefore. again succeed in swinging France into line for the furtherance of her far Eastern plans.
 It is palpable Germany's Emperor has some hidden line of conduct which
  lay archipelago. Whatever it may be, the mere idea of his interference in the question is regarded here as likely to unite all sections of the United States in favor of annexation pure and sim- pie. A decision of this kind would prob ably bring about a disposition of the powers with Germany, France and Russia on one side and the United States and England on the other.
 It is suggested here that there might be dual protectorate by the United States and the Spanish Governments over the islands. This could be con- tinued until the war indemnity and ex- penses have been paid. In the mean time roads, railways and telegraphs could be constructed, an educational scheme put into operation, freedom for religious customs guaranteed and lib- eral municipal and provincial govern ments organized. Then at the proper time a plebiscite of the inhabitants could decide between one of four des- tinies-to remain under the dual pro- tectorate, become a Federal colony of America, return to Spain, or become independent. This solution would prob ably satisfactorily settle the question in accordance with American ideas of freedom and at the same time nip the German Emperor's ambitious schemes in the bud, or at any rate give him a Roland for his Oliver.
