Latent AiUlces From the JVilloiml Capital

Special to Evikinu IIkrai.1i.
Washington, Juno 10,
Tho navy olllclals havo long slnco come to
tlieconeliision that tlio war cannot bo suc
cessfully carried on without a strict secrecy
as to the movements of our ships and land
forces, denora! Greeley, of tho Signal Ser
vice, to-day notified tho cahlo companies that
they must not transmit any moro nows of
our army movements to tho foreign news
papers. It was thought, however, that
soon as tho expedition to Cuba was well
under way tho censorship would bo removed
under certain conditions.
The distance from Tampa to Santiago,
where tho troops aro supposed to make the
first landing on Cuban soil, is about 1,000
miles. Tho transport vessols will not be able
to inako moro than an avengo of eight knots
nn hour, aud at that rato of speed should ar
rlvo at Santiago not later than Mouday next.
There is a rumor in naval circles to-day,
howover, to tho effect that tho expedition to
Santiago has been hold up at Key West to
uwait further convoyB from Sampson's licet.
lhe rumor that four Spanish ships were seen
near Havana may havo caused tho depart
incut to issue this order to Ocn. Shatter when
ho arrived at Key Wost.
It will bo at leaBt two weeks bcfoio the
socond expcdltlou cau got away from Tampa,
aud a part of tlio military forco now om-
barked for Santiago will be used to invade
Porto lileo as soon as tho campaign at tho
former placo will allow of their withdrawal.
Iho administration is anxious to invade
Porto Itico as soon aa possible, at loast beforo
tho anticipated negotiations for peace, on tho
part of Spain.
Sixteen vessols aro new under construction
for tho United States navy. Five xf them
aro battleships, ten aro torpedo boats and the
remaining ono is a submarine torpedo boat.
A long dospatch was received from Ad
miral Sainpsou by tho Navy department, and
hu said nothing about tho reported destruc
tion of a Spanish torpedo boat or tho lauding
of marines. It was mainly devoted to sup.
plies nooded by the Hoot.
Tho appolntmeut of Ocn, John P, S

SEWERAGE
Bailie Imminent Between (he BornuKh
and Properly Owners.
DISCRIMINATION IS ALLEGED I
But the Borough Olllclals Reply Tlwt the
Only Question at Issue Is as to
Whether an Existing rubllc
Nuisance. Is to Be or Not
to Be Abated.
To all appearances the borough is about to
enter upon a litigation that bids fair to rival
tho famous Flynn stoue wall ease in interest
and complication. Tho points Involved will
bo similar to those which wore brought out in
the famous case referred to and, should a
legal battle bo declared, some very interest
ing phases of public and private sewerage
will be placed before the court.
F01 mouths complaints have been made
before tho ISorough Council concerning a
nuisauce created by a seweragu outlet on
West Centre street. The Council has uot
negloctod the matter and mpoatod conferences
havo been held to devise moans to abate tho
nuisance, but all have failed. A few weeks
ago it looked as if the onigma presented was
about to bo solved, a proposition having boon
mado that the propertios contributing to tho
niiisanco bo eonuoctod with tho largo sewor
laid on West Centre street by private tmrties
who roceived a right of way from Council to
construct tho lino. Several of the pruperty
owners wore disposed to act on tho proposi
tion and comply with tlio condition of ten
dollars to bo paid for each lot connected, but
others demurred aud the nuisance continues
to exist.
Asa last resort tho Chief Uurgess and
Health Olllecr have instituted suits against
all tho propel ty owners concerned, number
ing about L'H in all, to recover the penalty
fixed by tho borough ordinance where a
public nuisance is maintained. These suits
aro to bo hoard on thu 11th iust. aud they
will determine whether or uot tho matter is
to go into the courts.
Some of the property owners aro very de
termined in the matter and evidently have
mado up their minds to fight to the bitter
end. From a conversation had with one of
them, it would appear that one of their
claims is that the nuisance is indirectly, if
not ducctly due to discrimination shown
by the borough authorities in tho past.
That several years ago property owners in
the atlccted section of tlio town askod per
mission to lay a joint seworago lino, lint
Council withhold tho license. A few years
later, it is claimed, tho samo privilege which
the old Council refused to grant to people
having properties which tho sower
would have drained was granted
to a syndicato partly, if not almost
wholly, composed of people owning' 110 prop
erty In tho district referred to. Now, it is
alleged, tho defendants ha'0 no alternative
but to pay ten dollars each to tho syndicato
for tho privilege of connection, because
Council will uot grant permits for the laying
or Individual lines, on tho grouud that it
will be inadvisable to sanction a multiplicity
of sewer lines uudef tho public thorough
faros. So far as can bo learucd, the position of tho
Borough Council appears to bo that it lias
nothing to do with private sewerage uutil a
public nuisance is created ; and then there is
only ono courso to pursue an enforcement of
tho ordinance to compel au abatement of tho
nutsanco. in 1110 present case there are
twenty-eight properties contributing to the
nuisance, all located north of Centre street
and west of West street. To give oaeh one
of the property ownors tho right to lay an in
dividual sewer, or even half of them, a bor
ough olhcial maiuiained to-day, would bo un
reasonable as such au event would result in
the streets and alleys being almost constantly
open or out of condition on account of re
pairs to ono or more of tlio linos.
It is understood that the prupcity owners
also maintain that, in view of the fact that a
large quantity of surface water is drained in
to tlio stream which has created tho nuis
ance, tho borough should provide public
sewerage at tho point of outlet, but on this
point it is understood that tho borough olll
cials claim tho decision in the Flynn caso
offsets tho contention.
