Washington, Aug. 27.-Despairing Of
the ability of the Cuban municipalities
70 keep the cities clean and free from
yellow fever, the central government
has at last formally undertaken that
task. Chief Surgeon Kean cabled the
war department Monday upon his re-
turn from Cienfuegos. which he says
is at present the only place where
yellow fever prevails, that Governor
Magoon had just signed the decree
Matchmaking the sanitation. From
this time on the work of disinfection
and the determination of the yellow
fever mosquito will proceed under
the direction of officers appointed by
Governor Magoon. in most cases sur
geons Of the army or marine hospital
service.
In the opinion OF Governor Magoon,
as set out in cablegram received at
the war department, the yellow fever
will be eradicated within six weeks.
There may be a few sporadic cases
during the period. but there is no
danger OF an epidemic. Surgeon Kean
reports five new cases I'm Cienfuegos,
making ten in all, but these were
among civilians. All Of the soldiers
who were at first affected, with one
exception. have been discharged as
cured, and that one is convalescent.

port Telegraphers in Strike.

In anticipation of general STRIKE of the

pairing to make requests of the Electrical
Workers Union with view of entering
into a reciprocal agreement. This matter

step express the opinion that the linemen
and other electrical workers will throw
their support against the telegraph COM
panies should a walk-out result from the
conference,
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Beattie of this
city, vice president of the Photographers
Association, that everything at this time
points to a peaceful adjustment of the
present difficulties. He said that should a
strike be ordered it would hardly be gen.
eral. New York and Chicago would be
the first cities to be affected, ana then, If
necessary, other cities would be called upon,

SLOWER TRAINS IN WEST.
Railroads Reach an Agreement to
Lengthen Schedule Of Through Trains.

Lengthen Schedule OF Through Trains.
CHICAGO, May 24.-After discussing the
question for several weeks the western
railroads have reached an agreement to
lengthen the schedules Of their through
passenger trains. All the roads will put
into effect on June new schedules under
which the minimum time of passenger
trains between here and Omaha will be
fourteen hours and thirty minutes which
Is two hours more than the running time
now OF the fastest trains to and from
Omaha. The minimum time between Chi
cago and Kansas City will also be fourteen
hours and thirty minutes. The average
running time now OF the fastest trains is
thirteen hours. and thirty minutes
The minimum time of passenger trains
between here and Denver, now twenty
seven hours and thirty minutes, will be
thiEty-two hours on and after June g. the
increase in time being four hours and
thirty minutes. The greatest stumbling
block encountered by the railway officials
trying to reach an agreement for slower
train schedules has been as to the mini
mum time Of passenger trains between
tied by adopting a minimum standard of
twenty-nine hours. which is one hour more
than the present schedules of the Burling-
toms fastest trains between st. Louis and
Denver.
The only schedules to be adjusted are
between Chicago and San Francisco It is
probable they win be heightened at least
four hours. The western railway officials
declare that the present schedules are not
too fast for safety, but are too rapid for
economical operations.
