Fruit Crop On WaIIa WaIIa-Lee w.
Roberts who has returned from a trip
to the Walla Walla river reports that
there will be an abundance of all vari-
cites of fruit harvested in that section
this year. Apples seem to be the only
fruit that suffered from the March
freeze. although the frost did not seem
to touch the trees a few miles above
the forks of the river. Mr.. Roberts
says all varieties of fruit on his place
are looking fine and he expects to har-
vest a big crop. There is very little
:'cale in evidence at any point along
the river and farmers are expecting to
harvest a clean crop Of fruit this year.

WHERE is ANDREW YOUNG?
lie Suddenly Disappears. Leaving His
Father Dead Apparently from
Natural Causes.

Versailles, Ind, Oct. 1. = When
Lorenzo Wear, who lives three miles
from here, went to his mail box he
found a note stating that Amazia
Young was dead. The note was writ
ten by Andrew Young. the 20-year-old
son of Amazia. A postscript was add
ed bidding Wear goodbye, and saying
he would never be seen around here
any more. Wear lives 200 yards from
Young's house. He Immediately went
there and found the old mans body
in a rocking chair with the head tied
to the back of the chair The body
was nude. with the exception of a
blanket over the knees.
Young was a widower, sc years old
and lived with his only son Andrew.
He had been an invalid for some years.
There is no evidence Of foul play and
death was probably due to natural
causes The son cannot now be found.
Young owned the farm on which he
lived. and though he was supposed to
have a great deal of money about the
house, only $65 was found. 1t was in
an old pocketbook on the table in the
room where the body was found.

TAFT ASSUMES CONTROL
All Parties in the Island Seem To Be
Content Herewith.

All this military activity is the re-
suit of the action Saturday Of Secrc-
tary Taft In assuming control of the
government of Cuba. The direction
of the islands affairs by a provisional
government was taken over by Taft
at noon. the secretary at that time is
suing a proclamation in which he
gives as the reasons for his action the
failure of congress to elect successor
to Palma as president at a time when
great disorder prevails. and the neces-
sity of protecting life and property in
the island
The most significant clause of the
proclamation declares that = The
provisional government hereby es-
tabhshed will be maintained only
long enough to restore order. peace and
public confidence by direction of and in
the name OF the president OF the Uni
ted States, and then 10 hold such cleo
tons as may be necessary to determine
on those persons upon whom the
permanent government Of the republic
should be deyolved"
The proclamation states that as far
as possible under the circumstances the

Havana. Oct. There is absolutely
no excitement here-or elsewhere In
Cuba so far as has been heard-over
the change of control The Moderates
are not talkative. but General Pine"
Guerra. speaking Of the new situation,
said all the men OF his forces were
eminently satisfied with the arrange
ments He expressed the belief that
the stability of the government was
now assured. and predicted that never
again would there be a revolution in
Cuba.
Asked whether his men shared his
contentment with the proposition to re
turn quietly TO their homes, General
Guerra said: THE men under our
commands will obey us. Those who
do not certainly never were with us.
The revolution is ended and we have
won, so we are supremely content"
General del Castillo, another rebel
officer, said: 1--WE would have pre-
ferred a peaceful solution arranged, if
possible, between the Cubans them
selves. instead of Intervention: but we
are satisfied because the corrupt adj
ministration has fallen and an honest
election can be depended on next year.
We consider our fight has not been in
vain We have faith that the indie
pendence of Cuba is not endangered
by American Intervention and together
with General Funston we have drunk
toast to President Roosevelt and the
independence of Cuba"
The work of disposing peacefully OF
the revolutionary forces is already
practically under way. Brig Gen. Funs-
| ton. chairman of the disarmament
commission. had two conferences with
Generals Pine Guerra and del Castillo
and arranged a programme perfectly
satisfactory to all concerned.
The first landing Of any considerable
number of United States forces took
place when 40 marines came ashore
from the squadron in the harbor. This
force proceeded to Cienfuegos.

The day at the palace passed quietly
and rather gloomily. There were no
signs of Secretary Taft's actual occu-
pancy of that office, which was the
scene of a number of farewells to ex
President Palma and his family The
members of the diplomatic corps and
the foreign consuls called in body TO
say goodbye They gave expression to
many sincere words of friendship and
appreciation of the character and
kindness of the late head of the re
public. Senior Palma received all his
visitors with quiet dignity and seemed
entirely reconciled to going, although
he still appeared detected at the out
come Of the revolution. Towards even
ing the private reception room of the
palace was thrown open and scores of
personal friends called. Palma is be-
sieged with requests for interviews,
but refuses them all.
Secretary Taft sent letter to Senior
Palma saying he desired TO escort him
to the railroad station-when he
leaves here for his home-and show
him every courtesy due his exalted posi-
ton. Senior Palma thanked Secretary
Taft cordially, but said he wished to
leave quietly and without public GER
emony.
