HAVANA, July 26.-General
Monteagudo and 100 men started
today for Santiago province, to
suppress a revolution begun by

trace for the laying of the sub

BURNING
ISSUES
MONROE BRIDGE, CHARTER
ELECTION, CITY PRINTING
UP TO COUNCIL.

There is strong probability that
the air will be blue around the
council chamber tonight when the
city fathers get actively to work
Three or four matters are pending
which, like the volcano, give rum
blings of hot times to follow.
Chief among these is the issue of
the city printing. Yesterday after
noon bids were opened for the city
legal advertising for one year, and
the Chronicle was found a few
cents lower than the Inland Herald,
but the Hehald was given the
work. The Chronicle management
has entered a vigorous kick, and
backed by one or two Of the coun-
cilmen, propose to fight it out on
the floor of the council, where the
action of the committee will come
up for approval The Chronicle
has for years had the business, and
was awarded the contract a year
ago in spite of the fact that The
Press presented lower bid.
How to proceed in the further
construction of the Monroe street
bridge is another burning issue.
Some of the councilmen say that
there must either be new men
placed in charge of the bridge con-
struction by the engineers office
or else they will vote to complete
the bridge by contract. Almost the
full membershi poi the bridge
mems union will be on hand to
urge that a change of some kind
be made on the job.
Another question that bids fair
to stir up strife is the suggestion
of a water commission, by Coun-
Gilman Funk and endorsed by
Mayor Pratt.
The last water commission the
city had was legislated out of of
flee for perniciOus Interference.
What the city council will do in
carrying out the order of Judge
Sullivan to call a charter election
will be determined tonight.

medicine calmly, but some of then
