Yellow Fever Outbreak.
1.-THE yellow fever has not spread and
there appears no danger Of a general cpl

the present time. The conspiracy was a
very ridiculous one, and even II it had sue

The Mayari band Of outlaws cannot be con-
sidered Of more Importance than many other
previous bands of guerrillas which have &C.
casonally appeared in Cuba.
There is no reason therefore for extraor-
binary alarm, or for believing Cuba Is on
the brink Of an abyss.
Even the strikers have not as yet COM
mitted any act of violence. If their disa-
greement with the railway companies Is not
settled other men Will be found shortly to
run the trains. In this case any attempts
on the part of the strikers to resort to force
will be prevented and punished according to
law. The situation. for all these reasons, Ia
not so grave and the government has am

trouble than the threatened revolution. The

days.
