OPPORTUNITY TO GOVERN
THEMSELVES.

Washington. Oct. 3.-President
Roosevelt discussed freely with his
cabinet and with individual callers.
among whom were Senators Knox and
Foraker, the present situation In Cuba
and its temporary occupation by the
American forces. The matter was
talked over at the cabinet meeting but
no definite announcement Of the result
OF the elaboration was given out. The
president related to the cabinet and
to the other callers with whom he
talked that the action taken by the
American government was destined
solely for the benefit of the people of
the island with a view to the complete
restoration of order there and the pro-
lection of all interests. He declared
that he had no such motive In view as
the possible annexation of the govern.
ment of the island by the United
States. What he wanted now was
that the Cubans should be given an
other chance at self-government.

vices received from Mobile indicate
that earlier accounts of the great
storm and the havoc wrought were
not exaggerated. The complete death
list has o been made up because
many small towns along the coast
have not been heard from, but fror
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

road, who has reached Mobile from a

missing persons did not turn up the
number of deaths along the Bay
Shore road alone would reach fifty

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 a special train with provisions
has started from Mobile.
The worst suffering and desolation
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 put 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
