Firing continued throughout tho
nlcht, with an occasional cessation of
from half to an hour at a time.
At daybreak the wurshlps Charles

! north aide of tho city. Their lire was
followed later by that ot tho Monad

ents positions having been previously
i accurately located.

The Americans began a vigorous
i advance all along the lino this morn
ing (.Sunday), unl were soon pressing
back tho Insurgents In every dlrcc
t inn maintaining steadily their ad
vanced positions. They captured the
villages of Ban Juan Del Monte, Santa
Ana, San Pedro, Macatl. Santa Mesa
and Lorain.
Tho police system prevented a

Editoii Jeuhnal: The citizens of Salem, through Its representatives hi
the common council, aro asking tho legislature for charter power to reduce
their lutercst ueut ou per cent, per annum, irom o per cent, uiicrcsu wuiruuut
to 1 per cent Interest, home bond". This will effect an annual saving ot
over $1100.
The proposed new city charter which Is now bororo the legislature for
passage, was prepared by tho present members of tho city council, aided by a
number of tax naylng citizens unpointed by tho mayor for that purpose.
This measure wus prepared with a vlow of providing means of rilnlug
revenues In addition to thrjn now received by tho city and to grant such
power to tho city council as will enable them to handle, in a business like
manner, tho warrant Indebtedness now out standing against tho city; It has
also been the endeavor of the framers of tho charter to provldo as many sufo
guards as possible against tho incurring of Indebtedness against the city In
tho future.
Notwithstanding tho evident honest desire of the present city council to
meet und urraugc tho difficulties which confront our municipality, they aro
met by opposition and that from a sourco which leaves no room to aoubt tho
motives which prompt the opposition.
The provision of the new charter at which tho opposition direct their
principal attack, Is that which provides for an Issuoof bonds, due on or before
ten years, bearing not to exceed 41 per cont Interest. Thoy contend that tho
taxpayers of the city do not desire an Issuo of bonds to tldo them over their
present or any dlillcultlcs, and say that. n issuoof bonds has always Iwon
pernicious In Its effects upon the city.
There aro no taxpayers In this city who do not want the city to pay Its
dobts and they desire to havo tho city do this In tho easiest and best manner,
consonant with good conseryatlvo business methods. These inon who nuw
parado the evil elTcctH of bonds are tho vory men who foisted our entire
present bonded and lloatlnv Indebtedness upon us. It is true that under
their administration of tlie city government bond Issues havo not been a
success In as much as there has never )een an effort to pay them or to curtail
expenses of the city or to koep It out of debt; but they should not presume,
that others would manlfost tho same propensities as themselves, for looting
the city treasury and running the city Into debt. Because they totally
