NEED OF GORDIAN
KNOT AT THE ALTAR
Census Bureau Will Report Divorce
and Marriage Run About
Even Race.

Washington. Oct. 1.-The forthcoming
report of the census bureau on marriage
and divorce VIII not reflect any credit on
the people of the United States. Govern
ment officials connected with the work
of gathering the statistics will be surprised
il the report does not shock the country.
While the statistics are far from COM
plete the work of gathering them has gone
far enough to convince the bureau that the
complete showing will reveal a startling
condition of affairs. In some cities the
agents of the bureau are finding that for
certain periods The courts have been di-
vorcing men and women about as rapidly
as the preachers united them in marriage.
No information is available at this time as
to what localities VIII make the most DIS
tressing showing, but it is evident that
nearly all the northern cities will show
that Their divorce mills have been working
overtime. According to agents of the bu-
reau the south will present a much more
favorable record than the north. In most
sections of the south the marriage VOW -
still held sacred. Even in the southern
cites the agents are finding that divorce
proceedings are seldom restorted to.

Precedent in Pro-
tectorates.

Havana, Oct 2-The American
provisional government assumed pos
session of Cuba Saturday when Sec
rotary Taft's proclamation declaring
himself provisional governor Of the ISL
and was formally issued.
The terms of the proclamation have
caused general satisfaction, especially
on account of the moderate terms in
which it is phrased, it's statement that
the provisional government Of Cuba is
undertaken only on account of the
necessities of the situation and it's prom
Use that the provisional government will
be maintained purely for the purpose of
restoring peace and order and public
confidence until a permanent govern
ment is established.
No one appears inclined to doubt the
good intentions of Roosevelt. and his
representatives and there is no appre-
hension of any serious trouble or re-
sistance to the provisional government
In any part of Cuba.
Palma Still in Palace.
While Taft has not yet taken possess
sion of the castle, this is only because
Palma will not be ready to vacate the
official residence until Monday. Taft
desires to do whatever he can to suit
the ex-president's convenience.
No disturbance of any kin occurred
las. night and business interests here
hre gratiied at the change of govern
ment. A striking feature of the pro-
visionaf government is the fact that the
cuban flag has not been lowered. This
establishes a precedent in provisional
governments and protectorates.

Geneva, Oct. 3.-Although the Esperant-
lists ave returned to their homes, to the
-four corners of this Babel EARTH" the
stores are still decorated with the neat
little sign, "Kag Esperanto indicating
that the new language is spoken there. The
little sign is a relic of the International
Esperanto congress in which delegates
from twenty nations took part.
The congress, attended by 1,5N PERSONS
was enthusiastic and the delegates be-
came easily acquainted with each other
because they could speak a ommon
tongue. The Japanese and the Russian,
the Chinese and the German, the English
man and the .Frenchman met and spoke
with as much ease as if they had attended
the same grammar school.
DR.. Ianenhof. the Warsaw physician
who invented the language during fifteen
years political imprisonment. was the cen
trail figure N the congress. All addresses
were made in Esperanto. Theatricals were
given in the new language and among the
recitations in Esperanto was Poe's 1.-The
Raven which was much applauded.
The editor Of the Esperanto Review
read a letter from the pope in which the
head of the Catholic church expressed his
approval of the new language.
Among the English delegates was Rich
ard Lloyd, reader in phonetics at the L.v-
erpool university. TIL delegates from oth-
er countries were mon and women of cul-
ture. France was well represented. In.
that country several private schools in4

cided that the rebels shall not receive

gram of disarmament is simply that

of the revolution will visit each COM

the mover to the commission. The
rebels will take their horses home, the

THE PROCLAMATION.
Taft's proclamation follows:

IaIts proclamation follows:
the People of Cuba: The
failure of congress to act on the
l~rrevocable resignation of the
president of the republic of Cuba
OR elect a successor leaves the
country without government at a
time when great disorder pre-
walls and requires that, pursuant
to the request Of Palma. neces-
sary steps be taken in the name
and by authority of the presi-
dent OF the United States to re-
store order, protect life and prop
erty in the island Of Cuba and
islands and keys adjacent there
to, and for this purpose to estab-
fish therein a provisional govern
ment.
The provisional government
hereby established will be MAIN
tanned only long enough to re-
store order, peace and public
confidence by direction of and in
the name of the president Of the
United States, and then to hold
such elections as may be neces-
Sary to determine on whose per-
sons and upon whom the perma-
nent government of the republic
should be devolved.
Insofar as is consistent with
the nature of the provisional gov
eminent established under au-
thority of the United States this
will be q Cuban government con-
forming with the constitution of
Cuba. The Cuban flag will be
hoiSted as usual over the gov
eminent buildings on the island;
all executive departments of the
provincial and municipal gov
ernments, including that of the
city of. Havana, will continue to
be administered as under the
Cuban republic; the courts will
continue to administer justice,
and all laws not in their nature
in~applfcable by reason of the
temporary and emergent char
acter of the government will be
in force.
president Roosevelt has been
most anxious to bring about
peace under the constitutional
government of Cuba. He made
every endeavor to avoid the pres
ent step. Longer delay. how
ever. would be dangerous in view
of the resignation of the cabinet.
Until further notice heads of
all departments of the central
government Will report to Inc for
instructions, including General
Alexandra Rodriguez, in com
:. mand of the rural guards, and
other regular government forces,
and General Carlos Roloff, treas
urer of Cuba.
Until further notice civil gov
srnors and alcades will also re-
port to me for instructions.
81 ask all citizens residents of
Cuba to assist me in the work of
restoring order, tranquility and
public confidence.

Havana, Oct. 3.-The annual meeting

the OCCASION OF a great demonstration,
Of confidence in the provisional govern
n1ent and of high appreciation of Taft
and the work Roosevelt's commission
ers have undertaken.
Those present included the flower Of
Hayana's most intellectual and refined
society, and their outbursts of applause
were significant indication of apprecia-
ton of he provisional government by
the most thoughtful element of the
capital.
Every seat in the big university audi
forum was filled. Taft presented the
diplomas TO the successful students and
then made Il most notable address. the
spirit of which was that intervention
by the United States was undertaken
solely to assist Cuba and the Cubans
and that her future was dependent
upon her u men.

Bryan, in closing his speech Saturday
night in Convention hall here, said of the
CUBAN situation:
Some people say that because there was
an insurrection in Cuba it is evidence that.
the Cubans are not capable of self govern
ment. Forty years ago we had a war in
this country. Because of that war no dem
ocrat or republican will say we are in
capable Of self government. There is no
more reason for saying a Cuban insurrec-
ton means Cuba is not capable of self
government.
