 IS TO BE PLENARY
NEW CUBAN GOVERNOR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE ONLY TO THE PRESIDENT AND THE SECRE- TARY OF WAR.

Washington, October 6. = Governor Charles E. Magoon. who. with General Bell, Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Bacon, left Washington today for Havana will exer- else in Cuba all the power which was vested in General Leonard Wood when he ruled Cuba under the title of military governor
 Governor Magoon will be known as the provisional governor. but his authority will be plenary and he has been subject only to the orders of the President and secretary of war. Cuba will have the semblance of an autonomous government. and the United States will continue to be represented in Havana by an American minister and the consuls will be at their posts.
 The Cubans will be represented in Wash ington by a minister.
 It is officially stated that there has been and will be no subversion of the Gu ban constitution. Incorporating the Platt amendment into the constitution Cuba provided for just such an emergency as has arisen, and for the United States to intervene and restore order consequently 1t is said that Cuba is still to be govern ed by constitutional means and by ma chlnery such as Is provided In any com munity when martial law is necessary.
 During the occupancy of Cuba it is not expected that the Cuban congress will ex- ercise any power. In fact there Is no method by which 1t can be assembled un- less Governor Magoon should deem such action necessary to prepare the way for another election. Such a meeting is not recessary for the provisional governor by decree may perform all functions looking to the re-establishment of the civil gov- ernment of Cuba

MOST DISASTROUS FLOOD
IN HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA
Losses Are Expected to Mount Up Into
the Millions.

Stockton, CAL, July S.-The waters
of the San Joaquin and Middle rivers
are now pouring out through three new
breaks over the immense reclamation
districts of West Stockton. 1t is be-
lieved the most disastrous flood in the
history of California is now on. Since
the levee of Middle river broke that
water has been sweeping over the lower
division of Roberts Island. It is feared
that the middle and upper divisions,
never before known to have been flooded,
will go under. Dredges are unable to
cope with the situation and the break is
rapidly widening. Venice Island, on
the north side of San Joaquin, contain
ing $50, acres, is being flooded from
the breaks of yesterday. Witchell and
Andres Islands are now under eight
feet of water. Three thousand acres
of dairy farms are inundated. The up
per San Joaquin and Mercer rivers are
still rising. The Sacramento is also
high.
Dredging crews are exhausted from
fighting the waters day and night for
weeks. The losses viii probably reach
into the millions.

IMPORTANT ORDER.
Internal Revenue to Be Included Ia the
Civil Service.

Washington, July 9.-The Civil Ser
vice Commission has decided to recon-
mend the inclusion of the internal revs-
nue. service in the classified service,
and it is expected that an order carry
ing the plan into effect will be issued
within the next few weeks. This
branch of the public service is one of
the few remaining in which the civil
service regulations do not apply. The
law was extended to it by President
Cleveland, but there were so many
complaints against the political effect
of the order, that President Mckinley
revoked it soon after he went into Office,
except so far as it applied to store
keepers and gaugers receiving salaries
higher than $500 year. If the change
is made, it will affect several thousand
persons.
