ning-Refsrred to sub.c Committee.
Last night, the council committee on
health, together with many councilmen
and city officials, and representatives Of
the United States Fertilizer Company,
which has the city garbage contract
met to discuss the situation. 1t seems
that the company's plant, on the side
of Wheeling hill, near the city crema-
tory, is not yet prepared to take on all
the garbage, and in addition the COM
pany has been threatened with injunc-
lions by citizens who object to the To-
cation of the plant. on account Of the
odorsahat arise, or rather descend from
the hillside.
Those present included Chairman
John X List. Of the health committee:

gal representative, Mr.. Henry NJ. Rus
sell.
The committee first took up the mat
ter of the Nelbergall slaughter house in
the Eighth ward, and the sentiment. APP
peared to be that 1t is a nuisance and
should be done away with. The COM
mittee, 1t was decided, would meet this
afternoon at o'clock, and take q look
at the house in question.
Then came the garbage problem. A
petition from First ward residents, ask
ing the removal of the plant. was read.
Mr.. Russell was confident the company
would be able to take care of all the
city garbage when its plant is complete.
A change Of location was suggested,
and DR.. Jepson said the Peninsula, OPP
posite the Schenk plant In Fulton,
would not be Objectionable as a site.
This would also be more easily reach
ed. Mr.. Russell said the company
would undertake to complete a new
plant on the Peninsula before next
summer
On motion of Mr.. Weisgerber. the
matter was referred for action to n
subcommittee, composed Of Messrs.
Waterhouse, Beckett, Weisgerber,

Squadron of Evolution May Come to
Honolulu.
WASHINGTON, August 27.-The
cruiser Newark is due to arrive at San
Francisco within a week. The cruiser
Narbehead, which like the Newark,
went around into the Pacific by the
Straits of Magellan, is expected also TO
reach San Francisco shortly. Botn
these vessels will probably need some
slight repairs, and it is the intention OF
the department to assign them, upon
the conclusion of this work, to the
squadron of evolution to be formed for
exercises in the Pacific. Other vessels
in the squadron will be the cruiser
Philadelphia and the battle-ship Iowa.
Rear Admiral Kautz, commander-in-
chief of the Pacific naval station, will
command the squadron, and the Phila-
delphia will probably be maintained as
his flagship. The squadron will prob
ably spend the late fall and winter in
eyolutiOns off the southern coast OF
California, and it is not unlikely that
they will go as far as Honolulu. There
has never been. a squadron Of evolution
in the Pacific and the Navy Depart
ment is anxious to have the four YES
sells begin their tactical exercises as
soon as possible.

OTIS HAS GAINED AN ALLY

MANILA, August 2S.-A report re-
celved here from Cebu says Dato Mum
di, with his tribesmen, has taken the
warpath against the insurgents at
Zamboanga and has given them a
hard battle.
Mundi welcomed General Bates, say
ing he was anxious to become an
American citizen, and asked permission
to fight the insurgents. He was given
an American flag. General Bates will
return to the Sulu archipelago to ar
range for establishing American garri-
sons there.
WASHINGTON, August 2S.-A dis
patch has been received at the War
Department from General Otis under
date of August 26, stating that Dato
Mundi of Zamboanga attacked and de-
feated the insurgents there on that
date, killing thirty of them. The dis
patch, as given out at the War Depart
cials have been unable to ascertain
who Dato Mundi is. 1t is thought,
however, that he is one of the smaller
chiefs. The text of the dispatch is as
follows:
MANILA, August 26.-Adjutant
General, Washington: Dato Mundi at
tackled and defeated the insurgents,
killing thirty up to this date. Under
the Spaniards he governed the entire
southwestern part of Mindanao Island.
He visited General Bates at Jolo to
give adhesion to the United States
Bates returned him to a small island
near Zamboanga, when he requested
permission to drive out the insurgents,
but was told that troops would be sent
to Zamboanga soon. The insurgents
there offered several weeks ago to
turn over the city on promise Of sur
render in case AguinaldO is successful
in Luzon. The proposition was de-
clined. Dato Mundi is an able man,
educated abroad, thoroughly loyal to
American interests. Bates leaves on
August 30th to place troops in Sulu
Islands; will soon place troops at Zam-
boanga and Isabella, the naval station
