president of the board of city trustees an
nounced that the ordinances in regard to
fast riding of the bicycle in the city limits

a bell would be enforced there was
rush for the cycle merchants for the
purchase of bells, and the trade was enor-
nous; but still. many kept right on with
out bell and at any old speed they might
wish to take. AS a sample, there were al
one time last evening fifteen wheels stand
ing in front of the store of the president of
the board and only four of them had bells.
While the speed allowed is only six miles
per hour, the president himself went home
to dinner yesterday noon at a twelve-mile
gait and came back at fifteen stride. One
young lady, who went as slow as she pos
sibly could" made ten miles an hour
speed on a trial trip, while another young
lady came down E street at an eighteen
mile gait. while a business man scorched
down the street easily at a twenty-two-
mile gait-and there were no arrests; the
police thought the Job too big a one to
tackle Those who purchased bells now
have them for sale ,as they have mo use for
the old thing" as young lady remarked

placed yesterday morning with a view
Of taking part in the bombardment of

the Spanish siege guns, which are
mounted OH the outskirts of the town
and which have shown they possess
good gunners and accurate range find
ers.
Pits have been dug for the men and
the horses have been removed to a place
of safety, where it is thought the Span
ish guns will not be able to reach them.
Capt. Capron's battery was withdrawn
from the hill last night and sent behind
Gen. Lawton's position, from which
place it will have cross fire with the
batteries on FL Pazo ridge and at the
same time be able to shell the north
end of the town.
The artillery officers are confident
they will be able, when the lombard
ment begins, to silence the Spanish
guns and to reduce the entire position
of the enemy, so that the forward rush
of our troops will meet with little or
nothing beyond rifle fire, and they are
confident the city can be taken as soon
as they are permitted to open fire and
to take a hand in the battle.
