meRt's Intention Plain.

(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. g.
President Roosevelt discussed freely
today with his cabinet and with indi.
vidual callers, among them Senators
Knox and Foraker, the present stu.
alton in Cuba and its temporary oc-
cupation by the American forces.
The President reiterated to the CAP.
met and the other callers with whom
he talked that the action taken by the
American government was destined
solely for the benefia of the people or
the island. with view to the com.
plete restoration of order and the
protection of all interests.
He declared that he had no such
motive i'll view as the possible annex.
alton Of the island by the United
States. What he wanted now was
that the Cubans should be given an.
other chance at self-government.
Unless extraordinary conditions
arise, no extra session of Congress
will be called TO deal with the Cuban
situation, as the president considers
he has ample authority to proceed in
the matter.
1t seems to be well settled that
former Governor Charles T.. Magoon,
OF the Panama canal zone, who has
Just returned from Panama, will be
appointed governor of the provisional
government of Cuba. Governor Ma
COON is anxious to go to Cuba. and
his selection for the place is expect.
ed to be announced SOON The Presi
dent expects Mr. Taft to return t.,

here and Governor Taft will take up

The disarmament proceedings are
going on without hitch In the vi.

have not begun.
The news from Cienfncgos, prov,
nce of Santn Clara, Is that the $50
marines from Havana arrived thera
none too soon, as the situation was
threatening caused partly by the dis
satisfaction of the volunteers over the
prospect Of being disbanded with pay
only for the actual time served, and
pnrtly by the uneasincss OF the revo.
lutionists surrounding the city.
The disarmament commission sent
from Havana began work today IN

Inspection Bill - The
Two Sides.

Washington, June 1.-THE contro-
yersy between the president and the
chairman of the house committee on
agriculture on meat inspection pro-
vision that the latters committee has
agreed upon, or substitute for the
more drastic Beveridge amendment
adopted by the senate to the Agricul-
tural bill will likely be fought out
upon the floor of the house.
The formally announced disapprov-
al by the president of the substitute
following conference at the White
Hause has raised public opinion
to the boiling point in con-
gress. Things have been at a stand
still all day with frowns and i'll humor
on tap insofar as definite action is
concerned along the line of the presi-
dents wishes.
ROOSEVELT QUESTIONED.
The members of the house who have
strongly fought the Beveridge amend
ment take no pains to conceal their
feeling of resentment at the action of
the president interfering with the
progress of legislation. They declare
that the executive is not only over
Jealous but that he has based his OBJ
lection upon a false promise. In sup
port Of their contention they point
TO his declaration that the substitute
abolishes the right of night inspection
of packing houses. They say they
are unable to understand the presi-
dents attitude because the substitute
among other things plainly provides
that inspectors ''shall have access at
all time to every part OF the said es-
tablishment."
Chairman Wadsworth did not for
mally lay before his committee today
the presidents letter OF disapproval
He consulted. however, with number
Of the members, with the speaker and
with the house leaders. The present
determination fayors the policy of
standing pat on the committees ac-
ton. There is absolutely no dispo-
sition as yet among the members of
the committee who voted for the sub
stitute 10 retreat from their position
but rather to let the house put itself
on record.
