IS SUPPLIEND WITH WATER TROUBLES OF THE SEVENTH CALIFORNIA REGIMENT, Another Emphatic Denial of an Epidemic of Typhoid Fever Is Made by the Officers, Just before his departure for Honolulu General Merriam received a letter from Colonel Barber stating that it was a dif- cult matter to find suitable camping | grounds there for the troops that were to | be sent to the islands. A day or two later there came Instructions from Washington revoking the order to forward troops to Honolulu until the return of General Mer- riam, who would report upon a camp site. When General Merriam comes back from the islands, in about two weeks, whether or not he has discoverea any camping ground in or near Honolulu, he will fin waiting him here an offer of a suitable site. The offer is made by C. L. Wilcox, @ prominent business man of Honolulu and a member of the Hawalian Mr. Wilcox, who is indorsed by Senator Perkins, consulted with Colonel Berry of the Seventh Callfornia in regard to the matter and at the Colonel’s sugges- tion he put his proposition in writing and addressed it to General Merriam. It is as follow Underst: ng that the forwarding of troops to Honolulu, as contemplated, has been inter- i with because doubts have been created as to securing a sultable camp ground, I would respectzully submit that I am the owner of a t center of Honolulu, it being the unoccupied porticn of @ block,” and containing about 500 1 feet of land adjacent to and bounded and King streets, along one of ent water pipe is laid, which or use as a temporary camp , from one to six months, at the option for any troops the United may "desire to focward 3 ition being that when the ud is vacated by the troops it be placed as good condition as when they took pos- sesston of 1t Sl NO EPIDEMIC OF TYPHOID. Officers of the Seventh Califor- nia Again Make an Em-~ phatic Denial. Regarding the article published in yes- terday’s Chronicle in relation to the in- | crease of typhoid fever in the Seventh California Regiment, and the statement that Major Choate and his assistants wers diagnosing the cases as measles, when they were fever, in order to su-nress the seriousness of the malady, Major Mat- thews, surgeon in charge of the division | spital, makes the following statement: “I want to say once and for the last time that no epidemic of typhold fever exists in the Seventh California Regiment. The percentage of sickness in the regi- ment is small. We have here the healthi- est army corps in the United States ser- vice, There is no reason for the daily pubiieation -of the wensational that have been appearing, for there is no truth in them. JTue statement published by the Chronicle that the medical officers of this hospital sald that the surgeons of th Regiment were diagnosing cas measles when they were fever is not true, as that statement was not made £ or any of my officers.

Knowing that The Call has been reliable in all of its statements and that it has taken no notice of the yellow sensations of the camp, but has simply told the truth, I make this statement because I want the public to know the facts. “The percentage of sickness in the regi- ment is very small. At present it is less than 10 per cent, while frequently it has been the case that regiments have had over 30 per cent of sickness, and not much was thought of it.”" sadEepie THE “HOODOO” REGIMENT. Little Chance of the Seventh Seeing Active Service. It looks as though fate was against the Seventh Regiment of California Volun- teers and that it is destined to pass into history as the *“Hoodoo Regiment.” Its members were among the first to enlist in response to the call of their country, but so far they have only had the oppor- tunity of fighting measles and typhold fever in the most unhealthful place on the peninsula. The Chamber of Commerce urged the President of the United States to do what he could to give the boys a chance at the front and the answer re- ‘cived yesterday indicates that the sol- diers u? the Seventh are to become r- | manent residents of this city, the follow- ing dispatch coming from the War De- partment, which gives little or no encour- agement of active service: Hugh Craig—Sir: Acknowledging the reccipt of your letter to the President of the 29| ultimo, in_which you say that the Seventh California_Regiment of Infantry was the first to leave their homes for the volunteer service of the United States and are greatly disap- pointed_at being held in California so long, while Eastern regiments are being’ sent to the front, the Secretary of War desires me to in- form you that the Department does not at present contemplate the sending of any troops further West than Honolulu, Sandwich Isl- Very respectully, ands, .

STORY TOLD BY A METER Twenty-Three Prices Is Paid for Watenr. DISCOVERY OF A CHURCH WATER COMPANY NOT IN A HURRY TO SHOW FIGURES, From Three Dollars and a Half the Bill Was Reduced to Fifteen Cents, b B N Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Aug. 29. The Church of the Advent has enjoyed an experience with the Contra Costa Water Company that throws more than | a shadow on the methods ‘in vogue for taxing property according to schedule. For a long time the church has been taxed $3 40 a month for its supply of wa- ter. The trustees discussed the matter and concluded that no such amount of water could possibly be used. A commit- tee was appointed to visit the company to see if better terms could not be z ranged. There was a good deal of di cussion, but nothing satisfactory -'wa done until the c the church put in a meter an thousand gallons. Not knowing but er, but anxious to make the experi Treasurer A. J. Read accepted the meter proposition. The machine was put in and the first month under the new method of measuring has passed. To the suprise of all concerned the bill amiounted to §1. As this is the minimum rate allowed under pay by the ment, | the ordinance for places where a meter 18 used. the committes suspected that it had not used even the amount of water repre- sentel by the dollar. They went to the company’s office to satisfy their curiosit and the-following story of ‘the interviey was told to-day by one of the church offi- cers: “On going Into the office the clerk sald that as the blll was for the minimum amount allowed on meter rates it should be satisfactory. We told him it was emi- nently satis ory, but that we were a little_curious. We wanted to know the exact amount of water the church had used. The clerk fumbled hastily through a lot of tags and finally told us that we hadn’t used quite a dollar’s worth. “If it is not against your rules,’ sald one of the party, ‘would you mind letting us know the exact amount? We are sat- isfled to pay a dollar a month, but after all the interest that has been manifested in our water bill we would like definite figures.’ “The clerk fumbled among some. more tags and finally imparted the information that the church during the hottest month of summer had used 750 gallons of water, which, at the schedule rates, is of the value of fifteen cents.” When making a plea before the Council for the establishment of a minimum rate for mete: the water company's officials it was necessary and just be- cause certain partles, notably Chinese laundrymen, had been detected allowing thelr faucets to trickle continually, thus gaining a large amount of water, but in such a manner that it did not register on the meter. The church officers, however, deny that they have descended to any such subterfuge and are much amused to find that three nickels is thelr just rate instead of $340. e e — ?

Prior to his death deceased deeded to Thomas White, his intimate friend, his home on Railroad avenue, Alameda, with a lot 100x200 feet, worth about $4000, and over this there will probably be some litigation.

The necessity for this action was so urgent that the committee met yesterday and arranged | to receive the convalescent soldiers to- day.

Oakland City Council Appropriates Eighty Thousand Dollars for the Purpose. OAKLAND, Aug. 2—The ordinance appropriating $30,000 for the improve- ment of Lake Merritt and its surround- ing sanitary conditions was passed unan- imously by the City Council to-night. A very Influential delegation of citizens at- tended, but the rfatter needed no dis- cussion, as the details had been amply set forth at previous meetings. Messrs. Girard and Earl entered into a very ungentlemanly discussion over the purchase of an engine house siie some vears ago, and a quarrel’ followed In which the word “liar” was comparatively tame. This was renewed several times during the evening, and on more than one occasion the_ two - representatives from the Second Ward shot the word liar across the chamber. This called forth a protest from Brosmahan, who said that if the two gentlemen wished to do politics they should hire & hall and pre- pare for the election whers they would not interfere with business. A resolution to rent- quarters for the poundmaster was laid over. Another resolution to provide a horse and buggy for one of the sanitary inspectors was to be a covert move to in- . Iarl denfed it, and the vote being against it the matter was laid over. The ordinance imposing a license on many kinds of businesses and reducing the liquor license to $50 from $100 per quar- ter was laid over for a week. | B. C. Cuvellier introduced the following resolution: *“That the Board of Public | Works be and it is hereby directed to | make an investigation into the causes for the large monthly water bills for use of water in the City Hall, and make a report to this Council at its next regular meet- ing.
