TABBYS TABOOED.
City Council Objects to Pay for
Hauling Dead Cats.

A number of important matters
were discussed and action taken on
several of them at the regular month
ly meeting of the city council Mon
day night.
Complaint had been made that the
Haworth coal mine was being ex-
tended across a street and under adj
iacent property. The council voted
to expend SIS to have a survey made.
If it is found Mr.. Haworth is going
beyond his limit he Wilt be enjoined.
The usual batch of bills were.allow-
ed for the month, but two or three
were contested and changed. The
one of drayman Felker for hauling
dead dogs and cats to the scavanger
grounds was so amended as to ex-
clude the cats. The majority of the
members were of the opinion that it
was worth rs cents to haul out dog,
but the tabbys were tabooed.
AS the contract for lighting the
city expires on June 10, the clerk
udu D66h W OloO III
bids. He asked for further advice
before taking action. Several of the
councilmen were of the opinion that
the bid should ask for lighting only,
while Others, including solicitor Pres
ton, thought an electric street car
franchise should be included in the
bids. A special meeting of the coun-
Gil was called for Wednesday evening
to discuss the matter at more length.
The opening up of an alley between
B and G streets in the block between
G and D avenues, called out heated
discussion but no conclusion was
reached other than to further invest
igate the matter and take action at a
future meeting.
There was a great difference of OPP
inion also as to whether the new
Crookham addition on North Second
Street should be accepted or not.
Those who opposed it said they did
not want to stand in the way of the
city's advancement but they were
afraid the grading that would be re-
quired would be too expensive. The
others thought that the addition
should be accepted as all others
heretofore had been promptly, and
that the city should take it's chances
as to expenser. The matter was de-
fered to future meeting.
A new ten-inch sewer was granted
to petitiones, extending from 9th
Street east to 18th Street on High
Avenue. The bill for opening up the
High Avenue sewer was passed over
without action. The property own.
ers there had gone to an expense Of
about $40 to open stoppage when il
was discovered that the main sewe,
was at fault. The bill was then pre-
sented to the city with the above re-
suit.
A number of other minor matters
were discussed and adjournment
taken until Wednesday evening.

miles north Of San Isidro, province OF
New Echida.
Garcia personally directed the guer-

had spent weeks in trying to corner
him, several companies beating the
whole country at nlgh, often the
Americans caught messengers bearing
Garcia orders. The people protected
him and burned signal lights whenever
the American soldiers appeared. he
seldom slept twice in the same town.
Recently General Funston surprised
him and his staff while dining at
Arayat at dusk. The Filipinos leaped
through the windows and escaped, leav-
ing their papers and everything except
the clothing they wore. The strain OF
being hunted finally exhausted their
endurance.

Jael is the last ungarrisoned town III
the province. Spies reported that Gar
cia was sick and had been compelled e
remain there and 40 cavalrymen sur
ronnded the town. The spies led them
