SANITATION CENTRALIZED.

the Yellow Fever situation IN Cuba.

HAVANA, Aug. 28.-Gov. Magoon has
signed decree nationaiizing the sanitary
service This very important measure
takes the municipal sanitary services out
Of the hands Of the local aut horitiss
and places them in the control of the de-
partment of sanitation in Havana, thus
eliminating the chances OF ineficiency
caused by local conflicts OF authority and
prejudices.
1t has been impossible to obtain efficient
service by the municipalities. but under
national control conditions will rapidly
improve. This is shown by the yellow
fever outbreak at Cienfuegos. The health
authorities there did not even know that
the disease existed. Then came the out
break. Without any authority Of law the
national officer took charge and SET
hundreds Of men at work cleaning up the
city, which is now in better condition than
ever before, but the epidemic got such
headwsy that it cannot be checked within
a week or two.
There were five new cases of the disease
in Cienfuegos to-day. making . total OF
ten. All except one OF the victims are
Spaniards. The last soldier attacked was
discharged from the hospital to-day

LIVERPOOL, Aug. 28.-lt IL authori-
tativeIy said here that the Hamburg A Ameri-
can Steamship Company has departed
from the Atlantic agreement.
LONDON. Aug. 2e.-At the London
Offices Of the Hamburg american Steam
ship Company IL 10 said that undoubtedly
there were changes to be made in the present
arrangements, which would continue until
November. As to the reported departure
OF the company from the Atlantic agree
ment, the officers would neither confirm
nor deny the report.
The French line has entered into the
rate cutting war that threatens TO send
down minimum cabin rates 80 low that il
may be possible to have continuous ocean
voyage for about the same amount that ii
costs to board at a good hotel in New York
In a circular to its agents the French line
thus calls their attention to the rate cutting:
Notice the rates. the sailing dates and,
most important OF all the immense reduc-
future sailings from New York
The line announces q reduction Of $40
in the minimum rate by the its crack ship
La Provence. or SIS Tor the trip 10 Havre.
This 10 about SIS less than the recently
reduced rate OF the Cunsrd Line. BY La
Savoie and La Lorraine. which rank in
speed with the Cunarders Lucania and
Campsnia, the minimum first cabin rate
10 go: by La Touraine, which 10 in the I'm
bria class. tho first class rate to the east
ward is t6OI
II Is said the reason the French line has
made its heavy reductions 10 TO counteract
the alleged policy OF the Cunard Line In
selling tickets TO Paris at the same rates
that they sell ticksts to London. The
Cunard Line did this to offset the action of
the White star Line in changing it's ter
minal for the best class OF its ships to Cher
bourg. II was the only way the Cunard
Line could get passengers to the Continent.
The impression OF agents of all the lines
here is that there will be a short and perhaps
bitter rate war and that then the financial
necessities of the competing lines will
cause them to get together and hit upon a
compromise by which all may get along
In other words. there will be a -readjust-
n,ent OF rates. as 1t IL put in the vernacular
Of the steamship men.
