to the statement that the insurgents
are threatening trouble in the south.
The American line in this direction is
under command of General Ovenshine
and stretches across a narrow neck of
land a few miles south of Manila be-
tween the seacoast and Laguna de Bay.
1t is position which the Filipinos
could not force under any conceivable
conditions, while the tin-clad fleet of
the lagoon and the warships off the
coast would be able to make the mar

Two Chicago Boy Matadors Were
Easily Vanquished.
FIGHT WAS ALIVELY ONE
THE ENRAGED HEREFORD SCAT
TERED THE WHOLE CROWD.
Left the Youthful Imitators of the
Heroic Spanish Bull fighter
Bruised and Bleeding Upon the
Field of Battle-Timely Rescue
By Men Who Were Passing.

Chicago, May 22-Englewood had a
real bullfight Sunday, and the mata-
doris, two boys, Willie Reinig and
their lives.
For some time the two boys have
been reading Spanish literature telling
of bullfights, and they concluded they
wanted to be matadors and receive the
plaudits of their friends. Reinig s
father is the owner of number of cat
tie, and among them is big black
have been capped with brass knobs.
The animals are kept in a pasture near
Seventy-eighth and Wood streets.
Saturday Reinig and Jessup met by
appointment and laid their plans for the
bullfight. The first thing they did was
to swear to each other to silence, as TO
telling their parents as to what they
proposed to do. This done, they talked
over the matter as to who among the
boy friends should be allowed to wit
ness the real thing" which Reinig said
the fight was sure to be. 1t was finally
decided that twenty of their boy friends
should be let into the secret, and they
were told that the contest would take
place on Sunday.
Ready For the Fight.
Promptly the invited guests and the
two principals put in an appearance at
the pasture, where the fight was TO take
place. Reinig was armed with an old
sword, while Jessup had manufactured
a sword out of an old cornknife with
handle of wood. With these weapons
the boys proposed to vanquish the bull
Reinig, having the best weapon
claimed the right to the first tilt with
the beast. At a given signal from
to act as referee, Reinig advanced into
the field, dotted his hat and started to-
ward the bull. He had gone but a lit
tie way when the animal charged upon
him. He jumped aside and made
thrust with his sword. The point stuck
into the ribs of the animal, and with
roar it turned and dashed back upon
the boy matador. The onslaught was
too much for Reinig's prowess. and he
was picked up on the horns of the an
imal and tossed high into the air. When
he came down he landed in a corner by
the fence. more dead than alive. His
shoulder blade was broken and one of
the horns had gagged hole in his arm.
Placed Hors du Combat.
Jessup saw the predicament of his |
companion and ran to his assistance. |
The bull met his onslaught with low
cred head, and before the boy had time |
to realize what had happened, he. too, |
was tossed high over the fence and into
a ditch.
The boys who had come to witness
the fight ran screaming down the road. |
At the corner they met young Reinigs /
father, Henry Savage and George Nc
Clellan, who were coming to inspect the
herd. To them the boys told what had !
happened. The three men ran pellmell
to the field, and after some difficulty
succeeded in rescuing Reinig.
Both boys We're taken home and a
doctor was called. He said the injur-
les were serious. but not necessarily
fatal Jessup's body was badly bruised,
but it is thought no bones were
broken.

these amounts still standing against them,
the lists having been made up several days

even on the day Of election, but il is not
safe to decay so long. over 200 Of those
whose names were on the city default list
furnished to the tax collector by the city
treasurer and marshal have paid up the
amounts against them and it is likely that
number more win do so tomorrow and
Tuesday. Most of those who have paid
were IN default for small amounts.

ever, that there is so far very little bet

The talk that Capt NJ. J. Doyle is not
eligible to vote in the city, not having Letn
a resident for six months as required by
the law and therefore is not qualified TO
be candidate for alderman, appears to
be set at rest by the fact that Capt Doyle

In prefacing his remarks, Mayor Mel
drim said he had hoped not TO take part
in the campaign. He said when he was
called two years ago to lead the opposi-
ton to a movement which had for its OBJ
iect the ostracsm of a large number or
his fellow citizens, he felt it his duty to
respond and accept at the hands of the
people the office he had not sought. He
did not think it improper. now that his
term of Office was drawing to close, to
give the people an account of his stew
ardship.
When the present administration went
into office, Mayor Meldrim said the first
thing he did was to direct attention to the
public health He first desired to see that
the quarantine station was got in condition
for service, so that disease from the West
Indies and other places might be effectively

in condition for service. This policy of
letting the city's property run down was
not wise. he said, and had Always tried
TO avoid allowing It.
When the boat had been repaired atten-
ton was next directed to the quarantine
station itself Mayor Meldrim said it's con
dition was a disgrace to the city. on the
runs over which ballast was hauled he said
planks had been removed, and poor devils
were working there with great danger be-
fore them. lie could not account for the
reason this property was allowed to run
down unless it was to save money and
have surplus at the end Of the year II

to be put in proper condition and repair -
said Mayor Meldrim, and within a reason
able time this was done"
The next problem that presented itself
was the citys water supply. Mayor Mel
drim said he had been told il was decreas-
ing at the rate of 100000 gallons a day.
Mr.. Cam had his attention called to Mr..
Johnson, who was at Memphis about this
time, and in order to have the imminent
danger TO the water supply investigated he
had him come to savannah. 1t was at first
