POLK STREETS FUTURE.
The Merchants Looking for Progress When the Thoroughfare Is
 Cut Through.

Daylight has at last been let in through the hogs back at the northern end of Polk street. The contractors have worked with will to such an extent that before the expiration of two months the street will be so far extended as to permit the passage of teams through what has been. since the pioneers first crossed the Rocky Mountains. an ungainly obstacle to the progress of that portion of the city and the opening of the streets running east and west. It was not until the Polk-street merchants took hold of the matter that any steps in the work were taken Now that there is a prospect to extend the street to the waters of the bay the ner- chants feel jubilant that brighter era is about to dawn on the commerce of the dividing line between the older and newer portions of the city.
 The completion of Lombard street from Van Ness avenue to the Presidio has given the northwest a sudden boom, so to speak. When Polk street is eventually cut through and paved, not only the Pre- sidio but Bay street will be made access sible to the business men for the hauling of their stock to and from the commer- cial center of the downtown portion of the city.
 In addition to this the Polk-street mer- chants will urge the Sutter-street Rail- way Company to extend the transfer privilege to the Union-street line This. they consider, is no more than proper in view of the fact that the business done on Polk street goes long way to SUD- port the travel on the Sutter-street and Pacific avenue lines. Tc. catch the trade. or at least portion of it, from the Pre- sidio and northern section of the city. they consider that the Sutter-street Com pany should do something. Bush street, with its many drawbacks, has been an eyesore for a number of years. The travelling ghost cars have left kind of double gutter left by the removal of the rails of the old track still remains as a reminder of the unhappy period when the crawling cars made their lone visit a day" over the road This street the mer- chants claim should be put in proper con ditiOn.

4 MATERIAL CURTAIL
MENT OF THE SUPPLY
OFINFORMATION.

Washington, May l6 6-An order
posted this morning and signed by
Secretary Long relative to the publi-
cation of news emanating from the
navy department had the effect to.
day of considerably curtailing the
supply of information that heretofore
has been rather freely given out.
As an Offset, it was ordered that
bulletins of such facts as have actual
" occurred and are proper for pnbli-
cation, and are not connected with
existing or projected movements,
ehall be prepared ard posted on the
bulletin board. The sum tota! of the
Information published by the bulletin
board to day under this rule was
notice of the intention to start the
Philippine relief expedition and of
the permission given to some foreign
neutral vessels to pass the blockade
at Havana In explanation of the
issue Of the order, the naval authori-
ties say that some Of the leading
American newspapers have been 80
far lacking in patriotism as to print
plans of campaign and projected
movements of nava: ships, with the
result that the war board has been
obliged to completely revise it's plans
in the knowledge that the Spaniards
had promptly taken notice of the
publications and were prepared to
profit by them Complaint was made
to Secretary Long that the news
papers were working injury to the
government in such cases 1t is not
the purpose of the secretary to pre-
vent the prses having any informa-
tion that is not calculated to cause
miscarriage of the plans of the
department
The opening of the blockade at ia
vana to certain vessels Is rather
curious proceeding, that may lead to
very considerable widening OF the
blockade itself, SO that in the end
neutral vessels not loaded with cont
raband or supplies, the carrying OF
which into Havana would interfere
with the naval and military opera
tions of our government, may pass the
blockade under suitable regulations
laid down BY the United States.

Governor Ellerbe says their mode of
