HAVANA, April 14.-The bubonic plague is spreading in this city de spite the efforts of the health auth critics to check the ravages of the disease. Several new cases were dis covered this morning in a part of the city which had been immune up to the present.

PARK VIEW WANTS

Citizens Association Decides to
Urge Public Utilities Com
panieS to Remove Danger.

pecision to urge public utilities COM
panies to put their wires underground
was reached at a meeting of the Park
View Citizens Association. at the Whit
Tiey Avenue Christian Church, Park
road and Georgia avenue, last night
An amendment was proposed increas-
ing the area covered by the organiZa-
Jion by about one-fourth. This went
over until the next meeting.
The movement for underground wires
was directed particularly against cleo
1lic power and telephone wires, but be-
fore the discussion closed the matter of
'.rging its overhead wires was included
The danger Of the crossing Of telephone
wires with high voltage electric wires
was the main consideration urged by
members for the elimination of over
head wires. The unsightly condition of
such wires was an added consideration
in inducing members to urge the
change.
In bringing the underground traction
question into the discussion, it was
stated that overhead trolley wires eX-
tend farther into town on the Georgia
avenue line than any other. The Four
Ieenth and Eleventh street lines, ii was
aointed out, have underground power
systems to the north end of their lines.
The Georgia avenue line, however, has
the underground system extended only
north of the baseball park at Seventh
and Florida avenue, and poles in the
center OF the street through Georgia
avenue business district have brought
many protests from residents.
Secretary J. Frank Culverwell WAS
directed to communicate to Postmaster
Praeger protests of citizens against late
mall delivery in the neighborhood, es-
pecially against the delay in the first
morning delivery which members said
is now between 10 and 1890 o'clock
Protests against present baggage trans
fer rate of so cents. which in the Dis
trict just west, which is farther from

The association discussed the need of
an additional entrance TO the Soldiers
Home grounds. At present there is no
entrance between the Park road gate
and the Ivy gate at Shepherd street
An entrance between these two points
is urged.
George H. Russell and John G. Nc
';rath were elected delegate and alter
rate, respectively. to the Federation of
