PROGRESS OF BATTLE SHIPS
Arrival of the Iowa and Oregon Mt
Bahia, Brazil.

cablegram received at the Navy De-
partment last evening announced the ar
rival at Bahia, Brazil, of the battle ships
Oregon and Iowa. They are nineteen days
from Tompkinsville, making an exception
al smooth and rapid run down the coast
The collier Abarenda, now lying at Bahia,
consumed thirty-fcur days in making the
same trip Because of her lack of speed
she probably will be allowed to return to
the United States instead of going along
to Honolulu, as was intended.
The battle ships will stop at Bahia for
few days, replenishing their coal bunk
ers from the Abarenda and the Celtic and
then will proceed to Rio where they are
to take part in the great demonstra ton
there on November 15 to commemorate
the anniversary of the birth of the republic

CUBA AND PORTO RICO
Important Matters Considered by the
Cabinet.
The Collection of Revenues and Gov
ernment of the Islands Discuss
ed at Length.

The cabinet today devoted most of its at
tention to consideration of questions con-
nected with the administration of affairs in
Cuba and Porto Rico. The administrative
feature of the Philippine question also re-
ceived some attention.
So far as the cabinet discussion touched
upon Cuba and Porto Rico, it was the pur-
pose to develop the views of the different
members of the cabinet as to the best
means of collecting the revenues and GUS
toms, providing some means of equalizing
the duties which will be collected locally
upon imports from the United States as
we'll as from other countries, and providing
for the peaceful and satisfactory govern
ment of the cities and towns until such
time as Congress shall have ordered other
wise.
A Military Government.
1t is the intention of the President to
naintain a military government in both
Cuba and Porto Rico for the time being.
but his purpose is also to mitigate the
harsher features of such form of govern
ment so far as lies within his power. For
II stance, there was taken into serious con-
sfderatlon view put forth by Secretary
Afger, that it would be well in Cuba to
use the Cuban soldiers. who seemed to be
ntted for such work, as local police force
or gendarmerie possessed in a measure of
both the power of the police and the SOL
der.
There are several strong arguments which
the War Department has put forth suf-
ficiant to justify the adoption of this
course. In the first place, honorable and
profitable employment would be given to
a &C nsiderable proportion of the Cuban sol
diers. who might otherwise, in the absence
of individual employment. drift into evil
courses or become dissatisfied and dan
gerc US element in the community.
In the second place, these men, being
thoroughly acquainted locally with places,
the habits of the Spanish-Americans and
the language. would be much more service
able as police than American soldiers. AL
ready some of the evils attending the en-
p.oyment of the latter have been eXre-
rienced al Manila and Santiago, the results
being someti times comical and at others Sc
rious iE the misunderstanding that arose
between the soldiers ard the people.
