WE TAKE CUBA ON DEC. /.
Assume Full Military and Gov
ernmental Control.
SPAIN is NOTIFIED.
Same Conditions to Go Into Effect OH
the Island of Porto Rico on
October IS.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 11.-The
American commissioners have notified the
Spanish authorities in Havana that the
military and governmental, of the island
of Cuba December !. The same control
will be exercised in Porto Rico Octo-
Der Is.
Instructions have been sent to the Unit
ed States Military commission in Cuba
fixing December 1 as the date when Span
ish control over the island must cease.
The commissioners, acting upon these III
structions have notified the Spaniards
that all ports and customs receipts and
the management of municipal affairs Will
pass into the hands of the American mill
tary commander in the Island.
This order was not intended to work
hardship TO the Spanish troops or govern
ment, but it was thought best 10 fix Il
definite time to end Spanish rule and to
begin operations under the United States.
1t is probable that United States troops
will go to Cuba before that time. BY De
cember i it is expected to have troops so
stationed that there will be no need of
Spanish troops TO preserve order. Ihe
proclamations that have been issued by
the President. establishing custom rates
and defining the manner in which the Gu
ban territory shall be governed will pre-
vail until it becomes apparent that new
regulations are needed.
On October IS Maj. j.-Gen. Brooke will
assume absolute control of the island of
Porto Rico. 1t is possible that all the
Spanish troops will not have left Porto
Rico at that time; if so they will he quar-
tered in barracks until they can he taken
away. In the language of Secretary Al
ger. the United States will be the host
and the Spaniards the guests after Octo-
Der Is. The United States will not ship
the remaining troops to Spain at its own
expense. That was no part of the proto-
col The customhouses, the money re-
of the island will pass completely from
Spanish control on the date set. The
present custom regulations under procla-
nation of the President will prevail

Beloit Cuardsmen Incensed Over
Capt. Rogers Charge Against
Regiment.

Beloit, Wis, Oct. 11.-ISpecial. l-Lo-
cal military circles are greatly stirred over
a letter written by Capt. Tom j. Rogers
of Co. +, First Wisconsin volunteers to
his parents, and given to the public
Rogers expresses disappointment at the
lack of patriotism shown by his regiment
in asking to be taken out of the service
while i'll camp at Jacksonville. Capt.
Rogers said he could not face his home
people with the charge of cold feet" and
so he got transferred to the Second Di-
vision Hospital corps and expects to go to
Cuba with Gen. Lee. Capt. Rogers said
he considered it as much the duty OF the
soldier to stand ready for work with the
army of occupation in Cuba as it was to
face Spanish bullets. Many members of
Co. + met last night and expressed their
disapproval of Capt. Rogers letter by
groans and Kisses. They say his charge
against the regiment is a fling at them.
