STOPPED.
Dumping Back of the Presby
Grayeyardshas Been Suspended.

The Spruce street dumping place
will not be used for that purpose At
least that is the claim of the people
who are interested in preventing
that use Of the ravine near their
residences. Yesterday morning a
great deal of garbage was hauled
and dumped into the ravine back of
the old yard
Yesterday afternoon however a
halt was called on this and chief
Bennett stationed himself ut the
mouth of the alley going in to the
place and told all who came along
with the loads Of garbage that they
would have to hunt some other
place. What will be done remains
to be seen.

A GENTLEMAN called the attention

up one of the streets few days ago
and if the women could get similar
view of the subject they would take
their skirts off the ground They
sweep up indescribable filth and dirt

sation of the labors of the ladies ia

Of the province of Laguna and has
population, according to the best avail
able information here. of considerably
more than $4,000 people. 1t is regard
ed as likely that General Lawton has
already gained possession of this
stronghold for it is but short jour
ney over the bay Of Lagoon, a fresh
water sea, which comes almost up
to Manila itself, which is As miles away
from Santa Cruz. The details of the
dispatch show General Lawton is es-
saying the formation of squads of II
men each, who will make a thorough
reconnaissance of the ground before
making a definite attack upon the city.
II Is felt here that there will be only
a show of resistance by the natives,
and whether they actually surrender
the town or abandon it to the south
ward, the campaign against the place
will serve as an object lesson of the
determined policy of our forces in the
island.
Santa Cruz is apparently an opening
wedge for the country beyond. From
it leads highways in all directions, to
Manila by going around the shores of
Bay Lagoon. and to the important
point of Ralangas and the we'll ad-
Vanced province of Tayabaz, whose
capital city is located 81 miles from
Manila. General LawtCn, however,
may not contemplate any material ad-
vance beyond Santa Cruz at this time,
as the region to the south is a very
and the rainy season is coming on, so
that his purpose may be merely to
gain an advantage of our position for
the future.
