FIRE HELLs WILL RING.
viii Announce the Anniversary of
Dewey's Great Victory.

Dewey's Great Victory.
There will probably be no further cele-
bration in Savannah to-day of Dewey s
victory at Manila than the ringing OF fire
bells at O'Clock this morning. The mil
itary viii probably not commemorate the
victory in any way. many of the leaders
seeing no reason why there should be any
demonstration at this time
II has been suggested that an appropr-
ate recognition of Dewey's victory would
be the firing OF a national salute az u
O'Clock by the Chatham Artillery As the
national salute consists of one gun for
each state Of the union, it will be seen
the firing would continue several minutes.
Ihis, IN connection with the fire depart
ment's tribute, would save Savannah from
allowing the anniversary 10 go by default
Though these exercises would be simple
they would nevertheless remind the peo-
pie OF the great struggle in Manila har-
Dor, and OF the victory, which has prob
ably served more than any other to bring
the American navy to the front
Col A r. Lawton, of the First Req
ment, Georgia Volunteers said that he
knew of no appropriate action for the mil
itary TO take in honor of Dewey's victory,
ana had not heard any suggestions as to
what action il would be proper to take

throb to-day with a feeling of gratitude
over what has been accomplished on the

REMOVING LOOSE SOIL.
Contractors Have job Clearing
Streets of Surplus Dirt.

StfeetS OF surplus DlrI.
Now that all the underground work in
the heart of the city has been completed
the street gangs have begun cleaning up.
In many of the streets there are large
piles of dust and sand to remove, which
it will take several days to get out of
the way. The contractors are required to
remove all distractions, which includes
the surplus soil left in the streets.
As a result of the large amount of dig
ging, there are several hundred wagon
loads of soil to be hauled away. The
large space taken up by the conduit con-
struction made it impossible to get the
removed earth back into the ditch. not
withstanding it was tightly packed by the
laborers. Some of the conduits take up
a space three feet square, and
where the ground had been previously
packed it was found impossible to replace
the earth.
Several wagons were at work on Whita-
ker street yesterday, removing loose soil.
The dust from the overflow is such that
il will be a great advantage to pedes-
trians and others to clean the streets as
soon as possible. On Bryan street the
conditions are about the same as on Whit
aker, but on Bryan the surnlus is to be
removed by the house drainage contrac-
tors.
Not only will soil have to be removed.
but the road roller will probably have
to visit some streets particularly where
cobble-stone paving has been torn IN and
replaced. The stones in some places were
not put on a level with the balance of
the paving, so that more tamplng will be
necessary or the roller will have to be
run over the loose stones. The citv,s roiler

some for this purpose, and as a lighter
roller is needed by the city, the chances
are trade may be made for the one be-
