Philadelphia, Oct 1.-Seven per-

jured in a rearend collision Of passen-
ger trains on the Pennsylvania rail-
road at Eddington, Pa. Information
as to the cause of the wreck or the
number of the killed or injured was
refused by the railroad 1t is stated
by passengers, however, that the Long
Branch express, bound for Philadel
phia, had stopped to cool a hot jour
nal. While the train crew were at
work on the journal the express train
which left New York at 1880 a. m.
thundered around curve and crashed
into the Long Branch train. 1t is de-
clared that the express disregarded
signals and thus caused the accident.
Most of those killed and injured were
in the Pullman car in the rear of the
Long Branch train II was cut In two
as with knife and the impact
smashed the two coaches ahead OF 1t.
Because of lack of facilities 1t was

masses of wreckage and stretched out
alongside the track. Two hours later
a northbound passenger train was
stopped at the scene Of the wreck and
the bodies of the seven dead were

TAFT CALLS FOR TROOPS.
Force of Over 5000 Men to Sail a:
Soon as Possible.

Washington, Oct. l. Secretary
Taft has cabled from Havana to Act
ing Secretary Oliver at the war de-
partment to send the American troops
to Cuba In accordance with the pro-
gramme already arranged. Imme
diately on receipt OF the dispatch Mr.
Oliver issued orders for the departure
of $500 troops from Newport News as
soon as possible.
Quartermaster General Humphrey

to prepare to entrain the troops imme

The first exuedition Of $500 troops
ordered to sail from Newport News as

TAFT GOVERNOR OF CUBA
AMERICAN SECRETARY OF WAR
ASSUMES CONTROL OF ISL
AND GOVERNMENT.

Havana, Oct IAN American
provisional government assumed pos
session of Cuba when War Secretary
Taft's proclamation declaring himself
provisional governor of the island was
formally issued. The proclamation
was published in the Official Gazette
and thousands of printed copies of the
document were distributed in Havana
and elsewhere.
The terms of the proclamation
caused general satisfaction, especially
on account of the moderate terms in
which it is phrased. The statement is
plainly made that the provisional gov
ernment of Cuba is undertaken only
on account of the necessities OF the
situation and the proclamation prom
ises that the provisional government
will be maintained purely for the pur-
pose of restoring peace, order and pub
lie confidence until permanent gov
ernment Is established. No one ap-
pears inclined to doubt the good inten-
tions of President Roosevelt and his
representatives and there Is no appre-
hension of any serious trouble or re-
sistance to the provisional government
IN any part of Cuba,
While Governor Taft has not yet
taken possession of the palace this is
only because ex-PresideIt Palma will
not be ready to vacate the official res
idence for a day or two and Mr.. Taft
desires to do whatever he can to suit
the ex-president's convenience.
No disturbance of any kind occurred
during the night. The business inter
ests here are gratified at the change
of government. A striking feature OF
the provisional government is the fact
that the Cuban flag has not been low
cred This establishes a precedent In
provisional governments and protec'
torates.

TEXT OF PROCLAMATION
PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT WILL
CONTINUE UNTIL ElEC-
TIONS ARE HELD.

Havana Oct. 1.-Governor Taft's
proclamation in assuming control OF
Cuba is as follows:
ITO the People of Cuba: The fail
ure of congress to act on the irrevoca.
BILE resignation of the president of the
republic of Cuba or to elect success.
sor leaves the country without gov
ernment at time when great disorder
prevails and requires that, pursuant
to the request of Mr.. Palma, the neces-
sarv steps be taken in the name and
by the authority of the president of
the United States to restore order and
protect life and property in the island
of Cuba and the islands and keys ad-
iacent thereto, and for this purpose to
establish therein a provisional govern
ment. The provisional government
hereby established will be maintained
only long enough to restore order
peace and public confidence by direc-
ton of and in the name of the presi-
dent of the United States, and then
to hold such elections as may be nee
essary to determine on persons upon
whom the permanent government OF
the republic should be devolved In.
sofar as is consistent with the nature
of a provisional government estab.
lished under the authority of the Unit
ed States this will be a Cuban govern
ment, conforming with the constitu-
ton of Cuba. The Cuban flag will be
hoisted as usual
Over the Government Buildings
of the island; all the executive de.
partments and provincial and munic.
ipal governments, including that of the
CITY of Havana, will continue to be
administered as under the Cuban re.
public; the courts will continue to ad'
minister justice and all the laws not
In their nature inapplicable by reason
of the temporary and emergent char
acter of the government will be In
force.
President Roosevelt has been most
anxious to bring about peace under
the constitutional government of Cuba
and he made every endeavor to avoid
the present step. Longer delay, how
ever, would be dangerous in view OF
the resignation Of the cabinet.
Until further notice the heads OF all
departments of the central govern
ment will report to me for instruc
tions. including General AleXandro
Rodriguez, in command of the rura
guards and other regular government
forces, and General Carlos Roloff
treasurer of Cuba.
Until further notice the civil gov
ernors and alcaldes will also report to
me for instructions.
Il ask all citizens and residents OF
Cuba to assist me in the work OF re-
storing order, tranquility and public
confidence
