cut on from the rest OF the world so far

severe damage are feared when commu-
nication is restored.
This. together with the isolation OF
Havana. causes some anxiety as 10 the
safety or the American warshlps which

began. No word has been received from
them.

heated and set fire to a partition. The

EDISON co. WILL WAIT.
Franchise Will Not Be Pressed at To-
nights Council Meeting.

The Edison company will not make
any attempt to get a further hearing
for their franchise at the council meet
ing this evening. L. E. Myers is out
of the city and viii not return for the
meeting, and T. F. Doran, attorney for
the street railway company and the
Edison company, stated that he con-
sidered it would be best to bring up the
franchise in the council at another
time. The council does not exactly
understand the situation and what is
wanted" said MI. Doran- Il think
we can get the matter presented before
them better at another time"
The East Sixth avenue viaduct situa-
ton has marked time and at this even
fng's session Of the council there is no
indication that anything of a decisive
step can be taken beyond the mere an
nouncement of the lowest bidder for
the reconstruction of the viaduct.
Members of the city council favor
an adjournment of the session this
evening until the latter part of the
week
The idea in calling for an adjourn
rnent is to secure a further conference
from General Manager Hurley of the
santa Fe who is out of the city, and
with whom the council has not been
able to have any conference since the
first of last week.
