WASHINGTON March Sit is the
belief of well-posted authorities In Wash

direction of affairs In the war depart
ment and his absence In Cuba at this
critical juncture gives plausibility to the
report that he will not much longer be

The secretary Is in Cuba on what Is

the fact that he is touring through Cuba,
where there is no prospect of a fight,
and that he left here at a time when
the situation at Manila was the absorb

roaring fire in the furnace and the water

1t is said that Michler, who had domes-

Since the new coal tipple has been
put up at this point the main railroad
crossing In the town has become a
dangerous place. The tipple hides
the track on one side, and the many
cars on the house TRACK hide it on the
other side. Besides the trains that
come along the yard engine passes
this crossing many times a day. On
this engine there is only the engineer,
no fireman. The engineer is kept
very busy, as he has TO fire the engine,
and cannot keep the outlook that he
should, and when he is looking out he
can only see one side of the track.
The company ought to put another
man on the yard engine, if not to help
do the work he should be there as q
lookout. A serious accident is likely
to happen at this crossing any day.

The fireman on this division are feel
lhg good. They have had a material
advance in wages. The freight IRE
men bad been working at the rate Of
1898 for iring an hundred miles, and
the passenger fireman had been re-
ceiving 1874 for the same distance.
Recently John Paul went up to San
Francisco and had a talk with Mr..
Kruttschnitt about this matter, and
he telegraphs that a new scale has
been adopted for this division, aud
hereafter the freight men will receive
81. 60 and the passenger men s2.10 for
each hundred miles. These rates are
understood to apply only TO the divis-
ion between Yuma and II Paso. 1t
has been the rule for 1remen to re-
ceiye lfty-seyen per cent of the wages
paid to engineers. This advance gives
them more than that proportion, and
the engineers are wondering where
they get off, AS they bad no represen-
tatives at the conference at San Fran
cisco it is not probable that the COM
papy has advanced their wages to cor
respond with the advance given the
iremen, and they do not like it to
have the old proportion changed.
When their grievance committee
meets, its regular annual meeting be-
ing in September, it is probable it will
ask for a corresponding raise.
