attacks by the Cubans aro feared on important
cities and towns in western Cuba.
Tho Spanish Generals In Santiago do Cubn do
not like to carry out Weylcr's orders to attack

The insurgents control the province, and the
Spanish Generals fear that II they fail In tho
effort to roconquer It for Spain Wcyler will lay
the blame wholly at their doors. They want him
In Santiago de Cuba to share with them the re.
sponsibility for the campaign.
The destruction of Catalina do Guines, in Ha-
vsns province. which 1 previously reported to
THE Sun, was q great victory for the Cubans.
In spite Of the wire fences and deep bitches sur
rounding the town. the fifteen forts which shell
tered the garrison, and the church and railroad
depot, which were also fortified, the Cubans en-
tered the place, after n fight of nine hours. The

1t is said that Leader Sheehnn has determined

EXTRA FARES ON LIMITED TRAINS.
Complaint That tho Central Charges Them Only
on Through Travel.

1t Is probable that the question Of extra fares
on fast trains will again be brought up before
the Arbitration Board of the Joint Traffic Asso-
citation. The Board of Managers ruled last
spring that on all trains making the time be-
tween New York and Chicago less than twenty
eight hours extra fare, at the rate OF n dollar for
each hour less than that time, should be charged.
The Pennsylvania and the New York Central
both have trains that make the distance in
twenty.four hours. The former road put on tho
new schedule of fares between New YORK and
Chicago on May III. and charged proportionato
fares between intermediate points. The New
York Central put on the extra charge between
New York and Chicago on its fast trains on
June /. but did not advance its charges bot tween
intermediate points. Some OF the other trunk
lines assert that in order TO conform to the
opinion expressed by the arbitrators in n case
decided last February regarding passenger rates
TO Southwestern points, the New York Central
and its connections must charge proportionnte
rates between intermediate points for travel on
trains making the whole distance in less than
twenty-eight hours.
