RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Management DiscOV-
ers Heavy Losses
In Use of Center Ice Tank Re-
frigeratOr Cars.
ND TANKS THE BEST.
Two Hundred Cars Will Be Re-
modelled at Once.
Claim Attorney Hamilton the
Subject of Resolutions.

The Santa Fe management has made
the costly discovery that center ice
tank refrigerator box cars are failure.
The discovery is costly for two reasons
The first is that during the three
years the cars have been in service on
the road there has been a loss in the
amount of ice used on the basis of the
amount used in the ordinary refrigera-
tor cars. The second is that to save
further loss in this way the cars are to
be remodeIed at a cost of several hum
dred dollars each.
Two hundred and fifty of the center
ice box refrigerator cars were purchas-
ed by the Santa Fe about three years
ago. The ice box was built in the center
of the car with space for produce at
either side, and it was claimed that the
arrangement was economical in the use
of ice.
But the Santa Fe management has
found out differently Instead of being
economical the arrangement has been
costly, as it required more ice to keep
produce than in the ordinary cars with
the ice boxes built at either end. The
center ice box is now to be torn out
and new ice boxes built at each end.
The cars have now two doors, one at
either side of the ice boxes, and this
space will have to be filed in and an
other door cut in the center of the car.
This work, together with the building
of the new ice boxes will make the
work of remodeling the cars expensive.
The $50 cars have been shipped to
Wells & French works in Chicago where
the remodeIing will be done.

SKATER COMING HOME.
Command in Cuba to Be Turned Over
to General Lawton.

Washington, Aug. IA new geo
graphical department of the army has
been created by direction of the presi-
dent 1t is to be known as the depart
ment of Santiago and is to consist of all
that part of Cuba which already has or
troll of the United States
Major General H. w. Lawton has
been assigned to the command of the
new department with Brigadier Cen
erals Leonard w. Wood and Ezra P
Ewers as his principal officers. General
Wood will continue to act as military
governor of Santiago city. The assign
ment of Gen. LaWtOn to the command
of the new department does not affect
Gen. Skaters command in the slightest
way The entire Fifth army corps com
manded by Shafter has been ordered to
the United States and Gen. Shafter will
return with it. No part of the troops
constituting the Fifth corps will be
kept in Cuba. Quite naturally, as long
as Gen. Shafter remains at Santiago he
will be in command of the forces there
When he leaves, he will turn over the
command to Gen. Lawton.
The orders issued to Shafter and
LawtOn, with reference to the new de
partment direct them to agree as to the
time when the command shall be
changed.
To the command of Gen. Lawton will
be assigned two brigades of infantry,
which will constitute the permanent
garrison of Santiago city and province.
OF these brigades five regiments have
been selected. They are the First. Sec
