upon whom the permanent government ofther republic should be- evoNed.
In so far as is consistent with the nature of a provisional government esmb-
hshed under the authority Of the United States this will be a Cuban government
conforming with the constitution of Cuba. The Cuban flag will be hGted as usml
over the government buildings of the island; all the executive departments and
provincial and municipal governments, including that of the city Of Havana, will
continue to be administered as under the Cuban republic; the courts will continue
to administer justice, an all the laws not in their nature inappicabe by reason
of the temporary and emerpnt character 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 very endeavor to avoid the prsent

Secretary Tafts proclamation declaring American inter
ventiOn is as follows:
ITO THE PEOPLE OF CUBA The failure of Congress
to act on the irrevocable resignation of the President of the
republic of Cuba or to elect a successor leaves the country
without a government at a time when great disorder prevails
and requires that, pursuant to the request of Mr.. Palma, the
necessary steps be taken in the name and by the authority of
the President of the United States to restore order and pro
tect life and property in the island of Cuba and the islands
and keys adjacent thereto, and for this purpose to establish
therein a provisional government.

absolute fairness at the polls. Then,
too, the different parties will have to
be given time to agree upon their can
didates for the various offices, and fol-
lowing that will be the campaign. All
this will require time and infinite pa
thence.
One hard problem will be to conduct
the polling so as to prevent dissatis-
faction after the votes are counted. 1t
is likely that it will be found necessary
to place American officers at the ballot
boxes and insist that their decisions be
respected.
It would seem that Secretary Taft
does not believe that it will be safe to
get out much before next spring.
The insurgents profess to be delight
ed with the situation as it has devel-
'oped, and while the liberal followers
of eX-Prcsident Palma are sullen 1t Is
not likely that they will commit any
overt act.
Secretary Taft believes the rural
guard can be absolutely relied upon to
uphold him, and that with them and
the marines already in Cuban waters
he can crush any mischief makers in
quick order.

The troops in Cuba will be commanded
BY Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston, whose
| military career began with his service in
the Cuban army Of liberation, before the
| Spanish-American war. When that was
| begun he was commissioned colonel Of the
| famous Twentieth Kansas volunteers. He
| participated in all the heaviest fighting OF
| the Philippine Instruction. His capture
of Aguinaldo practically ended the rebel
lion. President Mckinley promoted him
to be brigadier general, and he has served
since in the United States. He was sta
toned at San Francisco at the time of
the earthquake last May and practically
ruled the city under military law for
weeks after that disaster. Gen. Funston
will retain the command of the army in
| Cuba unless it should be necessary to
send more than one brigade, in which
event a superior officer would assume COM
mand.

KAISER TO MAKE CONCESSIONS
Prefers to Grant Some ciairns Rather
Than Go to War

Berlin.-The German government
has decided to make further con-
cession to the French views on the
Moroccan question provided France
will also yield something. The ex-
tent of Germany's proposals will be-
come known only at Algeciras, where
they will be communicated to the
French delegates. Emperor William
Chancellor Won Beulow, it is under
stood, would rather make another ef-
fort to reconcile the French aims and
Germany's interests than allow the
serious situation to drift.
Some effort has been made here by
certain. small financiers to create a
war scare out of the emperor's reply
to the congratulatory address Of the
generals yesterday on the occasion OF
his majesty's silver wedding, in which
the emperor remarked that he prayed
God that war would not come, but If
it came he was convinced that the
army woul dacquit itself as efficiently
as it did thirty-five years ago.
The tone of the bourse was not af-
fected by these efforts although the
market was weaker, owing to the un-
certainty over the effect of the new
German tariff and the commercial
treaties going itno effect March l.

of the Order Of the Annuziata and
to few court officials, under-secretar-
les of state who are not members of
parliament, the president and the sec
tional presidents of the councils Of
public works, railway functionaries
and ex-functionaries above a certain
rank and to the first secretaries of the
prime minister and minister OF public
works. 1t should be remembered that
the railway pass of senator or dep
uty carries with it the rights to re-
served carriage. Free passes upon
particular railways or portions of rail-
ways are given to officials and func-
tiOnaries connected with them or with
other railways apart from actual men,
bers of the railway administration; al
SO to orphans of railway agents for
the purpose of instruction.
In addition, Italian Journalists and
correspondents of the chief foreign
newspapers have a right to three rail
way tickets at reduced rates in the
course of the year, and to one free
ticket in the same period which will
also be available for their families
The minister of public works has in
addition the right to issue every
month sixty gratuitous tickets-each
available for five people-for single
journey, and 100 tickets every month
at reduced rate, which may be given
to persons who have deserved such
privileges by reason Of services rem
dered to the state or the railway. This
order, if enforced as it stands, will
greatly restrict the number of gratui-
tous travellers.

developments need be expected in
Union Pacific affairs are technically
correct, for the reason that this plan
Is being considered informally and is
yet in an unfinished state.
The principal stockholders of the
company, it is asserted, favor the
distribution of preferred stock rather
than cash for the reason that the
Union Pacific will require an expendi-
ture of about $75,000,000 of cash to
carry on new construction and to pay
for it's share of the expense of build
ing the Los Angeles Salt Lake and
Pacific railroad.
1t is understood that the Union Pa
cific company has sold almost all of
its holdings of Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. A profit Of nearly
$80,000,000 was realized on the original
purchase Of Northern Pacific stock
made during the memorable May cor
ner four years ago.

Gambling and Liquor Elements In

There is an interesting fight going
on in San Diego, California, on the
constitutionality of the referendum
system for cities in that state and the
legal controversy has been appealed
to the supreme court. The wide
open" element are endeavoring to in
corporate in the laws of the munich
pality provision legalizing gambling
and another provision to overcome the
referendum vote approving the regu-
lation of the liquor traffic.
The opponents of the referendum
system nearly always have axes to

RAILROAD PASSES IN ITALY
Free Transportation and Reduced

Italy, like the United States, is in
the throes of a free pass agitation.
Only what makes the situation so diff
cult to deal with here is the fact that
the railroads are in many instances
owned by the government.
According to the latest decisions of
the officials in charge of the state
railways, many changes in the free
pass system have already been made.
The privileges of free passes will be
given to all senators, deputies and
their families. The term family in

SENATOR TiLLMAN LEADS IN
BATTLE FOR REGULATION.
Unprecedented Honor Conferred Upon
the Aggressive Southerncr is Re-
gardcd curiously in View of his
Recent Attack on the President.

Washington, D. C.,-(Special)-If
there was any irresolution on the part
OF democratic members of the senate
interstate commerce commission it
did not appear when the vote was
taken on the rate regulation bill
passed by the house. All the demo-
cratic members voted solidly to re-
port the Hepburn bill and were sup
ported by three republican members,
Dolliver Clapp and Cullom. Elkins,
Aldrich, Kean, Foraker and Crane,
as was expected, cast their votes
against the house measure. The
minority were able to add to the
resolution recommending the Hepburn
bill clause which gives all the men,
bers of the interstate commerce COM
mittee freedom of action on the floor
of the senate.
Sensitive to Public Opinion
After the committee meeting four
of the minority senators sought TO
forestall criticism by announcing
that had the bill contained provision
for review by the courts of the COM
missions findings they would have
voted with the majority. This sensi-
tiveness has created no little amuse-
ment among those who understand
the essence" of rate legislation. No
+~1r hn roi
the constitutional right to enJoln
unreasonable rates and to appeal to
the courts. So great Is this power
that the friends OF rate regulation
fear that it will render even the
Hepburn measure, il it becomes q
law. too weak to cope adequately
with rate abuses. A special provision
for review by the courts, such as was
advocated by the minority, would, IN
the opinion of many, make the new
law less effective than the present in
terstate commerce law. Therefore
the announcement by the minority IS
considered by democrats fatuous ef-
fore to hoodwink the public.
Foraker Unshaken
Senator Foraker remained consist
ent to the last. He did not join with
the sensitive four in trying to cover
up his trail. He stoutly opposes any
rate regulation and will favor no COM
promise. While his corporation ten
dencies are not admired by demo-
Gratis, or for that matter by the re-
publicans who stand with the presi-
dent, he is given the credit OF not
adding hypocrisy to the list OF his
offenses.

bill to the senate. 1t Is an unpre-

RAILROADS FIX RATES TO SUIT

Action Intended to Affect Disastrously
the independent interests Which
Have no Pipe Lines and to Help
the Rockefeller Monopoly.

Kansas City, Mo-Representatives
of all the railroads of Kansas met
here and fixed new schedule of oil
freight rates in Kansas in defiance of
the maximum freight rate law passed
by the last Kansas legislature. The
schedule agreed upon amounts to an
increase Of so per cent of the present
schedule, which has 5een in effect
since the passage Of the maximum
freight rate law.
Will Help Standard
The new rate will be about the
same as the one in effect before the
maximum rate law was passed. 1t
is said that the action of the Kansas
railway traffic officials will affect the
independent oil shippers of Kansas
more disastrously than any of the 9TH
er patrons of Kansas railroads. The
Standard Oil company, having mo-
nopoly on oil tanks and pipe lines
will not suffer from the new schedule
of freight rates as will the independ-
ent oil men who are forced to ship
