Mr.. and Mrs. Percy Proctor, of Gin
cinnati, were in Oakland yesterday
en- route to Atlantic City where they
will remain until May when they will
return to Oakland to spend the sum-
mer at their residence on Crooks
Crest. Mr.. Proctor is enthusiastic over
the prospects of Oakland the coming
summer and is very much gratified
that the Oakland Hotel has been
merged into sanitarium. He pre-
diets for the institution a great sue

The prediction of generally fair

the saving clause of cooler Tuesday"
let the weather man out and saved
him from everlasting disgrace. The
blizzard that has been making it in
teresting in the west struck this sec
ton Monday when it began to snow
in real good earnest and got colder.
Yesterday the face of the earth did
not have the same appearance it did
a few days earlier when the weather
was almost spring like. There's no
use to begin getting your garden tools
ready now and it may be well to sug-
gest that you call off the house clean
ing preparations for few days or at
least until there is decided change
in atmospheric conditions. This
morning the snow which fell early in
the week is gradually leaving under
the influence of drilling rain.

Duties That Will Fall Upon the New
War Secretary.
IMPORTANT WORK TO DO
WILL ARRANGE FOR SELF-GoV-
EMINENT IN CUBA.
Probability That the Near Future
Will See Mr.. Root In the Position
of Colonial Secretary and New
Man at the Head of War Depart
ment-Alger Is Their Idol.

New York, July PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: 1t is
not improbable that the near future
will see Mr. Root in the position of
colonial secretary and new man at
the head of the war department. OF
course Mr.. Root will have a voice in
all matters relating to the conduct of
the present war, but the president de-
sires him to give particular attention
to the many complicated legal ques-
tions involved in the change from the
military to the civil control OF depend
encies. The president will continue to
give close personal attention, with the
assistance of Adjutant General Cor
bin, to the purely military work con-
nected with the campaign in the Phil
ippines.
The question of the future of Cuba
will receive the immediate attention of
Mr.. Root. The president considers that
the time has come for doing something
in the direction of establishing a civil
and Independent government in Cuba.
He wants to have a policy well de-
fined so that he will be able to tell
congress in his forthcoming annual
report what the future attitude of this
country toward Cuba should be. He
Charles Garcia, son of the old general,
in regard to holding conventions for
the elections in Cuba preliminary to
the establishment of an Independent
form of government General Garcia
came here to secure authority from
the president for taking proper steps
through the medium of suffrage for
the establishment of an independent
form of government and thus prepare
q
of the island.
Government For Cuba.
The president believes the time has
come to give the Cubans a trial at self
government. and he wants Mr. Root
to take hold of this matter and formu-
late plans whereby the Cubans will
have an opportunity TO establish some
kind of government which this coun-
try can recognize. 1t is this class of
work, involving knowledge of consti-
tutional and international laws, which
influenced the president in the deter
to have a lawyer instead of a
soldier at the head of the war depart
ment.
Eventually it is the presidents ex-
pectation that this will be a new de-
parture of the government, to have di-
rect control of all the affairs pertain
ing to the colonies. Mr.. Root will be
expected to do the work of a colonial
secretary, rather than a war secre-
tary, pending the establishment by
of the proposed new depart
ment. Probably Ill the future he may
be transferred to the control of the
new department, if it is authorized.
Mr.. Root, of course. will have much to
do with the Philippine war, but the
president will naturally depend more
upon his advise for substituting a civil
for military government in the Phil
ippines when the time comes for such
action, than he will upon his assistance
in connection with the military cam
paign.
