THEY WANT Real WATER.
People Living Near Central Park Ask
to Have Lakes Supplied.

petition will be presented to the
city council tonight asking that the
city turn water, from the water main
which passes through Central park, into
the lake which has been excavated in
the park.
A waterless lake is not a pleasing
feature of so slightly a place as Central
park but with from two to four feet OF
water in it the lake would add much to
the attractiveness of the park.
Those who have signed the petition
live close to the park. They are not
only asking but are giving. They have
subscribed about $500 out Of the $3.50
estimated to be necessary, IN extending
the cinder walks through the park from
the north to the south end and from the
east to the west sides.
The fact that the city council made
but a niggardly levy for park support
and improvement has made 1t necessary
for individuals to subscribe IN order
that any extensive improvements can
be made in the park. Most OF those
who have subscribed toward the walks
have donated literally, flrst toward the
purchase of the ground Tor the PARK,
and since for its Improvement: Inc CITY

neighborhood are furnishing money

Taft today cabled Governor Wright at
Manila to inform Admiral Enquist
that in strict pursuance of the interna-

ment he will be allowed TO intern his
ships the Aurora. O1eg and Jemtchug

this course his only alternative, after
the period allowed by international

It is fully expected here that Admiral

tails of internment If the Russian gov
