FUNSTON TOLEAVE CUBA
The Kansas Man Will Be Sent
Home at Once.
Secretary Taft Feels Called Upon to
Explain Why-Gen. Bell VIII
Command Troops.

Havana, Cuba. Gen. Frederick
Funston will not continue in com
mand of the American forces in Cuba
Gov. Taft announced Wednesday night
that he and Gen Funston will leave
Havana for the United States on Sat
urday on the battleship Louisiana.
With them will go Assistant Secreta-
ry of State Bacon, and the affairs of
Cuba will be left in the hands of Gov.
Magoon and Gen. ]. Franklin Bell.
In explaining this change of plans, Gov.
Taft said:
Gen. Funston was summoned on Ia
hurry call from the Pacific coast be-
cause he was well acquainted with
many of the insurgent chiefs here
and it was thought he could aid us,
as he did greatly in bringing the men
in arms to an agreement. General
Funston was put temporarily in COM
mand of the troops in Cuba merely as
a convenience until Gen. Bel should
arrive. Gen. Funston, Mr.. Bacon and
myself, with Mrs Taft and Mrs. Ba-
con and our secretaries, are return
ing to our permanent: duties
Had the proposal to send three ex-
petitions to Cuba been carried out,
Gen. Funston would have remained
at Camp Columbia as the commander
of a brigade. The close association
between Gov. Taft and Gen. Bell in
the Philippines influenced the provis-
ional governor to make a requisition
upon President Roosevelt that Gen.
Bell be placed in charge in Cuba.
