IN MODERATE TERMS
TAFTS PROCLAMATION ON AS.
SUMING CONTROL OF CUBAN
GOVERNMENT.

Havana, Sept 29.-An 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
1ses 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-
items 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.

# Pensacola, Fla. .: :5s,s. s...e'. Il ,
= Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 29.-Ad-
vices received from Mobile Indicate
that, earlier accounts of the great
storm and the havoc wrought were
not exaggerated. The complete death
list has not been made up because
many small towns along the coast
have not been heard from, but from
what is known it is believed that 1t
will range close to 100. Only four
houses are left standing at Alabama
Port, while Coden, another coast re-
sort, has been almost wiped out. Train
master Bowen of the Bay Shore rail-
road, who has reached Mobile from a
trip along that line, said that if the
missing persons did not turn up the
number of deaths along the Bay
Shore road alone would reach fifty.
He said that fifteen dead bodies had
been recovered. Thomas Mcdonald,
who came in from Coden, said that
that place was in the direct path of
the storm and was almost completely
destroyed. He said that help was
needed by the people along the shore
and special train with provisions
has started from Mobile.
The worst suffering and desolatiou
is said to be at Alabama Port, where
many persons lost all they possessed.
Every House in Town Wrecked.
Navy Cove, near Fort Morgan, was
wiped out by the storm. Pilot Frank
Midget, who has come in from that
place, says that every house in Navy
Cove was wrecked. Seven persons are
known to be dead at that place. Ad-
vices from along the eastern shore of
Mobile bay are that the entire shore
has been wrecked. The wharves at
Fairhope, Battle Point, Clear, NARROW
and other places were destroyed. Con
ductor David Rice of the Mobile and
Bay Shore railroad reports that a
large number of dead bodies had float
ed ashore from the direction of Dau-
phin island, which leads to the belief
that the settlement on that island has
been swept away. One boat from
Dauphin containing thirteen members
OF a family is reported lost. :: I =
Reports from along the line Of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad show
great destruction. At Bayou Sara
Bridge the driftwood was piled so high
that it formed walkaway 1000 feet
long. At Magazine Point houseboat,
two fishing boats and two other craft
were piled up in one wreck and
three-masted schooner was resting
easily across the railroad tracks.

THE STATE TICKET.

West St. Paul Times, Sept. %: The
Democratic papers seem to be taking
a great deal of comfort out of the fact
that apparently the Republican com
mittee has been making almost its
entire effort in behalf of Mr.. Cole, the
nominee for governor. IL they don't
like this perhaps it won't help their
feelings any to remind them that they
are themselves to blame for it by in
timating that Mr. Cole is not any too
we'll known in some parts of the state.
It has been the desire of the commit
tee, we presume, to see that Mr.. Cole
shall at least get acquainted and their
plan seems to be working pretty we'll
apparently from the disquietude which
it is awakening in the opposition.
However, our friends need not have
any anxiety as to the rest of the
ticket. In personnel it is made up of
men many OF whom have rendered
distinguished service to the state. In
order to show our friends that there
Is really no partiality we will COM
mence at the bottom. Hon. Charles
F.. Staples of Mendoza is the Repub
lican candidate for railroad commits
sioner. Where is there a man on the
Democratic ticket, from the gentle
man named for governor down, who
has a legislative record the equal tc
To bo
state in the legislature is marked by
beneficial legislation which is written
all over the statutes of the state. Nc
man ever retired from the Legislative
halls of this state more thoroughly,
1mbedded in the confidence of the pee
pie than did Mr.. Staples. His RECORD
as a railroad commissioner is not s.
thoroughly understood, because tn
questions are. more intricate and to:
difficult for the ordinary layman tt
grasp, but there is every reason tt
believe that in this work it will bt
found that Mr.. Staples has been as
fully devoted to the interests of the
people as he was as legislator. Othei
names on the Republican ticket and
the Democratic opponent are Senator
Eberhart and Mr.. L. G. Pendergast for
lieutenant governor. Mr.. Eberhart ic
4 state senator who did good work, as
a glance at the recent volumes Of
state laws will easily verify Julius
Schmahl is opposed by P. M. Mag
nusson of st. Cloud. Julius has had a
training as chief clerk of the house Of
representatives which admirably fits
him for the position of seer retary OF
state, There is S. g. Iverson, against
whom A. Aarnes has been nominated.
Mr. Iverson's services to the state are
known from one end Of the state to
the other. For treasurer the Repub-
licans have named G. c. Dinehart and
the Democrats D. H. Evans, and for
clerk Of the supreme court G. A.
Pidgeon is pitted against. F. e. Whea-
ton. OF the Republican candidates

Havana, Sept. Ex-Governor Taft
proceeded to the palace at noon to
take over the government of Cuba.
The act was not accompanied by any
formal ceremony.
The city is quiet and the only Amer
lean forces now ashore consist Of the
detail of marines guarding the treas
nry.
During the morning Brigadier Cen
eral Funston conferred with Mr.. Taft
regarding the location of the camps
for the first division of the American
troops to be landed here. The sites
have not been selected. Funston will
command all the troops in Cuba, but
II they exceed the dimensions of a
brigade an officer of higher rank will
be sent here from the United States.
1t is practically certain, however, that
no such contingency will arise, as it
is apparent that the maintenance of
the provisional government will not
require large number of troops.
Consul General Steinhart received
orders early in the day to telegraph to
the rebel commanders throughout the
island informing them of Governor
Watts proclamation and the establish
ment of the provisional government.
Political Prisoners Released.
General Joseph Miguel Gomez and
other conspiracy prisoners will be re-
leased from custody in order that, as
members of a committee representing
the insurgents, they may sign an
agreement with Governor Taft that
tho rebels will lay down their arms
Immediately.
A commission headed by General
Funston will be appointed to superin-
tend the actual laying down of arms
On the part Of the rebels. This CON-
mission will visit all the rebel camps
throughout the island and will be COM
posed of Americans only in order to
avoid creating any bad feeling or COM
nlicatiOns. The commission also will
disarm the volunteer forces Of the
government, leaving the Cuban forces
as they existed prior to the rebellion.
The commission will be accompanied
by A disbursing officer, who will pay
the expenses of the return home of the
rebels and thus avoid dissatisfaction.
Jose Miguel Gomez and others, rep
resenting the insurgent forces in the
field, have written to Governor Taft
agreeing to lay down their arms at
once.
