MACY STREET RESIDENTS
Protest Against the High Speed Of the
Pasadena Line

Property holders and residents of Macy
street are up in arms against the Los An
geles and Pasadena railway company. They
fear for their very lives and the lives Of
rate Of speed at which the cars Of the line line
in question are won't to pass. They want
something done to prevent future accidents,
and have therefore appealed to the city
council as a source Of possible relief. The
petition filed yesterday in the matter con-
tanned long list Of signatures, and as
serted that the company runs its cars along
Macy street at the rate of twenty-five or
thirty miles an hour, apparently having no
regard whatever for the existing ordinance
regulating the speed at which cars shall pass
through the city. The petitioners further
state that they have protested to the COM
pany in vain.
There is said to be flaw in the law which
ia supposed to control the speed Of vehicles,
and although this fact has been known for
several years, it has never been corrected.

THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
Authorities Well Pleased With the
First Days Work.

Washington, July 1.-The suspense
which followed the receipt of General
Skaters dispatch early yesterday
morning announcing a battle had be-
this morning when the preliminary re-
port of his operations was received by
General Corbin from General Shafter.
The president and war officials were
Immensely pleased at the information
conveyed in Skaters message. While
they learned with sincere regret that
so many of the American troops had
fallen in the fight, the ground gained
by the days conflict was regarded as a
great victory. Adjutant General Cor
bin puts the situation strongly and
picturesquely this morning while
speaking briefly of the aggressiveness
and ~tenacity of General Shafter:
THE old bulldog" said he, referring
thus half affectionate!y to the distin-
guished commander of the Fifth corps,
lis lying right there with his teeth in
their neck only waiting the coming OF
daylight to finish the work he has so
magnificently begun. The engagement
yesterday was very heavy for prelim>
mary fighting. but it scores a decided
victory for us. I regret to know Shat
ter has sustained so heavy a loss, but
we may hope there is not, as he says,
many killed. 1t is, however, pretty
certain to be true that the loss of an
army in an engagement like that Of
yesterday, where the battle line ex>
tended over several miles. will be much
heavier than is indicated by the first
reports. 1t is manifestly impossible in
cases where the battle ragged all day
and until dark, to ascertain with def
%niteness the loss sustained"
