AMERICAN COMPANY
PLACED UNDER BAN
President of Cuba Annuls an
Act of Congress; Bad Faith
Is Charged.

HAVANA, Aug. 4-Foilowing a cabi-
net meeting this afternoon. President
Menocal signed a decree which will nave
an important effect on the Ports Improve
rnent company OF Cuba, which has lone
been the subject OF bitter attack in the
press. The company is composed OF
American capitalists and holds conces-
sions for the dredging OF harbors and
carrying out other improvements in varl-
Gus ports. IN return for which II is per-
mitted to collect a surtaX on the rner-
chandise OF incoming vessels.
Inc decree declares that the company
las not iulnIled all the provisions Of the
law under which * is permitted TO do
business and that therefore the secretary
OF the treasury Immediately will suspend
payment OF tonnage dues and the Sec
retary OF public works take charge OF
the company's works In all Cuban ports
and that the secretary OF justice will be-
gin proceedings based on the charges
that the company has failed to comply
1t, TO annul the concession and recover
the amounts OF money alleged to have
been paid in excess Of the work alleged
actually to have been performed, reserv-
ing the right TO prosecute and punish
any persons guilty of offenses in connec-
ton with the concession granted the
company under the law of February 20,
1911, which was approved by President
Gomez.
The action OF the president Is the cause
Of much excitement here. Friends of
the administration warmly approve Of
the decree. while its opponents declare
that IL was issued with the purpose of
strengthening the administrat ton by
greatly increasing It's patronage under
the public works department
Oihcials or the ports company declare
that they have faithfully carried out all
their obligations and deny the presidents
right to annul an act OF the Cuban con-
gress without submitting the case to
the courts They add tina, the presidents
decree is an act OF bad faith with ul-
terror political designs and that the COM
pany intends Immediately to take action
gainst the government for dana ges and
the restora ton OF all It's rights under
the concession.

F|ND PUMPING PLANT
IS TOO EXPENSIVE
Water Department Decides to
Abandon Pumps and Dig
to Underground Flow.

Because of the excessive cost, the
water department officials have about
abandoned the plan Of pumping water
from the wells bored above the old
sump in Emigration canyon and are
now figuring on constructing a tunnel
lower down the canyon to tap the sub
terranean lakes in such a way as to
produce gravity flow.
-Four wells were dug above the sump
and u good flow of water was obtained
from each of these provided that the
pumps were kept working. No gravity
flow could be produced, however. 1t
was planned to install permanent
pumping plant and lift the water to
the surface whenever emergency de-
manded, 1t was discovered that this
method would cost more than the city
commission was willing to appropriate
for that purpose, and so the water Off
Gals set about planning a new method
OF obtaining the apparently mex
haustible supply that lies beneath the
surface Just above the sump.
1t is planned TO clean out the sump
and then run tunnel from point be-
low, tapping the wells at sufficient
depth to release the water from its
underground dam and bring it to the
surface lower down the canyon. where
it could be piped and connected with
the city's regular distributing system
on gravity alone.
With the pumps going the wells al
ready dug give forth flow of about
625 gallons minute, which is euuiva-
lent to 100000 gallons a day. 1t is
probable that even greater supply
could be obtained by means of the
tunnel and the gravity system.
Superintendent G.. +. Barrett prob
ably will lay the plan before the com
mission in the near future.
The, tunnel dug into the mountain
last spring. and which is still being cx.
tended. is producing daily flow of
more than 100000 gallons day, and
IS gathering more water as it goes
This tunnel taps the same subter-
ranean body of water, apparently.
