As thoy lay at anchor in Manila hay tonight several thousand people cann on as the searchlights of tho fleet played on the waters of the bay and the strainso f music were wafted across the waters. The sailors who had look ed forward to this visit to Manila, tlx first home port since, we left Honolulu. July 23, were sorely disappointed. They crowded the rails of the ships ami looked longingly at the lights of tin city, which will be denied them, as thero is thought to he danger of cholera. The fleet steamed past Corrogidor is land a little after noon and anchored in the bay at 3 o'clock. A number of small vessels went out to meet th fleet and accompanied it to the anchor age place, but the reception, such as it was, was reserved for tonight. The sailors were eager to hear from tbeir countrymen ami the bands on each ship played as the little launches circled about the fleet with the occu pants shouting, waving flags and cry ing out welcome to their fleet for which they had waited so long. The ships were, nil illuminated. No Shore Liberty. Almtral Hperry had received word from Secretary of the Navy Metcalf that under no circumstances are the mon of the fleet to bo permitted to go ashore until nil dnnger of the cholera is nbosl'ito'y over. There is no fear that the disense will spread but chances are to be taken. The fleet will remain off the break water milil October 10, when the ships at pit for Yokohama. Tie health of the men is perfect and ivory pffc.rt is to bo made to keep it so. The epidemic nt Manila has been a s.'vero blow to business interests on the islands. Governor Oeneral Smith says tho situation ;o w II in hand and report that tho cholera will be entirely undei control soon. PORTLAND LINKED TO HILLSBORO BY STEEL HILLRBOKO, Or., Oct. 2.

The bond election ealted for the selec tion of a gravity system, and why Nm veen & company should bo ho interested is lo which direction the water wns lo eoiiio from and tho insistence upon a c.eilniii bidder securing tho work has given rise to the rumor that the bond buyers are interested In the contracting firm and that tho bonds will not be taken unless this firm secures the work. Roberts Can Out Price. Kngineor Roberts confidently experts to bring tho cost of water from Little But tee under the Fish lake proposal within tho amount of money available by tho bond issue, It 15, 000, including tho city distributing system. This he figures can be done by letting the eon tracts for the various classes of work in Meet ions. Taking the lowest prices made by vnrious bidders on various classes of work, the engineer has made a complete estimate of cost nt $.V4,287 as against ;t72,O0O under the unit bid of the American Light & Water com pany. This estimate includes prices made by the Jacobnon Bade and other contractors, and with Ihe more accurate data now available, might be lowered sfill more by new bids. Tn detail, tho estimate is as follows: , Head works $ Regulations Fxcnvation and back fill . . . Pipeline Cast iron extension Reservoir Clearing Fugineering Right of way anl Innds Telephone . . . .
