YELLOW FEVER IS ABATING
Gov. MagoOn Gables Status Of Dis
ease in Cuba.
Soldiers Afflicted Infected while on
Duty I'm Private HOspitaI-Sani-
tary Conditions Need Change.

Before leaving Washington last Sunday,
Secretary Taft. who is much concerned
over the outbreak Of yellow fever among
the troops In Cuba. cabled Gov. Magoon
asking him for fun report regarding the
situation.
IN response 10 the inquiry, the War
Department yesterday received long
cablegram from Gov. Magoon giving a
ful account Of the status Of the disease,
its origin among the troops, and the con
dition OF the patients.
Gov. Magoon states that L soldiers con-
tracted the disease in Cienfuegos, and
that Of them belong 10 the Hospital
Corps. Three have died. 8 have been dis
charged, l Is practically convalescent. and
3 are still sick There have been 3 cases
in the town. exclusive OF the soldiers.
Gov. Magoon explains that the hospital
corps men were on duty at a private
hospital. a part Of which had been segre-
gated and rented by the military author
tiles for the use Of the troops 1t is be-
lieved that a case Of yellow fever so mild
as to be unrecognizable. was admitted to
the private hospital. and that the steg-
omya became infected, and afterward got
10 the screened quarters occupied by the
soldiers hospital
The existence Of the disease in Glen
fuegos is accounted for by the fact tha,
# was prevalent in Cuba last summer and
fall. and that Infected mosquitoes may
have remained dormant during COO
weather. and become active when warm
weather returned.
He believes from the report Of the ply
sicians that the cases in the towns were
either SO mild as 10 escape detection oI
that the local physicians neglected TO re-
port them.
The last report Of disease in that Vi
cinity prior 10 the present outbreak was
on December % Of last year. He says it i:
his opinion that it is practically impos
sible to eliminate the stegomya from
Cienfuegos until the completion Of IN,
waterworks. sewers, pavement. complete
drainage Of the city. and the discontin
uance Of the use Of water containers.
Cienfuegos, he says. is in bad shap,
from the standpoint of cleanliness, al
though that condition does not indue,
yellow fever, except an opportunity i
Afforded for the propagation of stegomya
Gov. Magoon includes in his cablegran
a report from Mai. J. r. Kean, at Glen
fuegos. I'm which he SAYS:
I regard the epidemic among troop
as under control and no cause for furthe
unea asiness.
Gov Magoon states that he is designat
ing army engineers as members Of sani
tary boards, and is endeavoring TO ma
tionallZe the sanitary service

New York, Aug 20-Yice-President
Percy Thomas. Of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' Union, was the authority to-
day for a statement that National Presi-
dent small is coming here 10 take charge
of the telegraphers' strike. and that he
is expected in this city Saturday.
Vice President Thomas said that Small
was coming al the request Of the local
leader. No word on the subject. however,
had been heard directly from Small, and
since the strike started all the official
news from Chicago or other Western
cities comes from Wesley Russell, in
cluding movements Of Small
Supt. Brooks, Of the Western Union
Company. said to-day that whether Small
came here or not made no difference in
the situation. The company would not
see Small, or treat with him on any
terms.
I want to say" he added, that the
oft-repeated statements OF the strike
leaders that We have dummies in our op-
Grating rooms are false. The strike lead
ers have been saying that We have been
sending messages by mail. Not a single
message has been sent by mail since the
strike began. Compared with the strike
of 1883. this strike is easy. II is only q
baby 10 the strike Of 1885,
There was some excitement in the main
Office Of the Western Union early to-day,
when an operator named Henry T. Beh-
nocker had 20 be taken from the building
10 the hospital, suffering from mental
alteration.
Vice President and General Manager =.
J. Nally of the Postal said that reports
from Offices everywhere showed gains over
Monday in force and traffic. He gave out
a statement Of Chief Operator Swain as
10 trouble at Ashf0Tk, Ariz., one Of the
overland repeater points Of the company,
where expert operators are stationed 70
look after the s-Itomatic repeaters on the
through wires. The station, Mr.. Nally
SAYS. is the only Postal repeater Office
affected by the strike.
SWANS statement. which is embodied
IN report from General Superintendent
L. W. StOrer, tells Of repeated attacks on
the station. the exchange of shots, and
the repulse of the assailants. No casual
ties occurred
4 meeting of the Wall street chapel o;
the strikers was held in the Astor House
Chairman Hall said that negotiations
with the Wan street brokers We're in
progress over the new scale. The ques-
tion Of raising a strike fund was referred
to a committee.
