SHIFTS TO BE- REARRANGED
r. p. o. CLERKS MAY BE RE-
LIEVED OF LONG HOURS.
Supt. West and Chief Clerk Flanders
OF the Sixth Division Make
investigation.

Des Moines, May 29.-SpeCial: The
work shifts of various mail crews will
be rearranged SO that the men can
work less hours as the result of an
investigation made yesterday by Supt.
e. L. West and Chief Clerk c. b..
Flanders of the sixth division of the
railway mail service. This will mean
a revolution in the service as far as
Des Moines is concerned, no investi-
cation of the kind ever having been
made before.
West and Flanders spent the after
noon in conference with the mail men
at the office of the local chief clerk in
the postoffice building. None but the
mail men were admitted.
1t is believed that the men, some of
whom are said to have been working
eighteen hours at a stretch. told of
their grievances and discussed the sit
nation with the officials. The men are
believed to have demanded a revision
of shifts so that they will not be COM
PEELED to put in extra long hours.
West and Flanders left Immediate
ly after the hearing without making
any public statement. 1t will proba-
bly, be some weeks before it officially
is announced just what will be done,
as the plans of the western men must
meet with the approval of the Wash.
ington officials.
The railway mail situation has been
growing more serious year by year.
Many men have quit and many others
are said to have planned to do the
same, all being disguised with the
conduct of the service.

Havana, Cuba, May 29.-Special:
Since the beginning of the insurrec:

tions of the boldness on the part of
the insurgents as evidenced by their
successful attacks on the villages of
Ramon De Las Yaguas and Yerba
Guinea, where they slew rural guards
and captured sergeant, together with
arms and ammunition.
Rebel movements seem to indicate
a desire to continue guerilla tactics
rather than engage in close combat
The government forces apparently
intend to await reinforcements before
beginning general movement. II
is now unquestioned that Estonez and
lvonet have under them 1000 mount
ed negroes to oppose the concentrated
government forces.
Recruiting continues active in Ha-
vana. Nearly 1000 men have been
enrolled as home guard for the de-
