MAYOR MAY CHANGE
HIS MIND AND CANCEL
ANTl-MUSIc ORDER

Moon, music and the mayor-the
chief executive Of the city and county
has changed his mind about the band
maybe. At any rate he is on the
brink of INDIGESTION with the weight OF
probability on the side of the argH
Eent that he is about to cancel his
order regarding the band. This order
was to discontinue hotel concerts as
given by Kappelmeister Berger and
his musical men and women.
The decision of the mayor seems
likely to hinge upon the concert to be
perpetrated at beach hotel this even,
Ing. II everything sails smoothly, IN
Gliding the moon, it Is very probable
that such musicales will not become
a thing of the past, by order Of his
homer, but will continue very much
the same as before with one excep.
ton. And that is the kicking of hotel
managers when they are unable to get
the band to scare away their guests al
some particular time The kicking
feature of the concerts has got to stop
says the mayor. IL hotel serenadine
can be given without kicking, which
has been one of its pre-incidents, then
his honor stands ever willing and
ready to let the band do its worst al
the hostelries.
Hotel managers, demanding the
band ON certain night, complaining
because they could not bet it at the
time desired. led to the announcement
being made by the mayors secretary,
Will Miles, few days ago, that Kap
Epelmeister Berger would be directed
to cut out his concerts at private
places But on the heels of the an
nouncement have come sharp objec
tons from many quarters, and the eff
feet these objections may have had
upon the mayor is probably indicated
in his reconsideration of the order.

JAPAN SENDING :.
 ANOTHER "NOTE'
No Indication of What Message Con tains Received By State
 Department.

Washington, July 29.-The admin istration's hope that the Japanese controversy was ended was shattered today with the announcement that another note from Japan was on the way.
 The officials at the State Depart ment are in the dark, but are inclined to expect that Japan will call Mir. Bryan back to the original proposition of the Japanese note, namely that the United States violated the treaty of 1911 by the act of the State of Cali fornia. Secretary of State Bryan, it is understood, played his last card by offering to take all future cases af- fecting Japanese citizens directly into the federal court. It is believed by her forthcoming reply will put the treaty question squarely up to the Department for answer with the elim- ination of all side issues.

If Report is True, AerOplanes il Naval Warfare Sure to Be Welcomed by all Powers

Washington, July 29.-The Navy confirmation of the report that the federal gunboat Tampico was des- troyed in Guaymas harbor yesterday by bomb dropped from an aero plane of the insurgent army.
 Admiral Cowels telegraphed the Department from Guaymas that an aeroplane was noticed by his officers lowering over the Tampico with a view probably of destroying it with a bomb. The admirals dispatch, however, was apparently only bull letin and will be followed by state- ment of results inasmuch as the des- truction of warship by a bomb dropped on the deck is a very im- portant event in naval warefare. Some navy officials hold the opinion that a bomb would not destroy ves- sed unless by some rare chance it fell into a smokestack or through a hatchway to the interior. If the re- port be fulyy confirmed, navy experts will get complete account of the circumstances.
