Of the first expedition were but little
delayed because of the fact that no

It Is known that General Funston

Quesada stated that the step was not

HAVANA, Sept. 5.--with far less
ostentation than usually accompanies
the accession Of n new territorial ad-
ministration, the government OF Cuba
va. formally taken over to-day by Sec
retary Taft, who. In proclamation
clothed In kindly and diplomatic tone,
declared himself the provisional gov
ernor. At noon Taft and his party called
officially upon President Palma.
The fact that the government had
changed hands was received by the
masses with utter indifference. The
most refined and thoughtful Of the Gu
bans, while they feel sensitiveness
over the loss of the islands sovereign
ty. are inclined to hope thes United
States protectorate may be brief. A Gu
ban, returning to Havana today, after
a brief absence, would not have noticed
any change in the form Of government.
Business continued the same, except for
the vigor exhibited by the wholesale
merchants, manufacturers and railroads
to retain their former trade. which had
been at a standstili for six weeks.
Governor Taft, with a true apprecia.
tion Of the sensitiveness OF the Cubans
was careful in taking up his new du-
ties and abstained from any act that
might have been construed as humiliat-
ing. His action in not lowering the
Cuban flag was taken on his own re-
sponsibility, as on Friday night he was
unable to get into communication with
President Roosevelt. He felt certain,
however, the Presidents friendship for
Cuba would prompt him to approve this
concession to the broken Republic.

HEARTY ENDORSEMENT.
There Are Others in Oregon With High
Estimate of the Man,

The Statesmen, Of Salem, is indubit
ably warm friend of Senator c. W.
fulton's, as witness, its amendment to
an A.torian editorial Of recent date.
THE Daily Astorian i, right when it
states that there j. 'wellprizcd inhu-
ence whch emanates from the represen-
tatiyc center OF the nation. inuring to the
great State of Oregon by way of the
| high character. achievement and repute
Of Oregon'> senior senator-Charles W.
Fulton Mr.. Fulton grows in honor,
position and in greatness a. the record
OF the days doing in the senate of the
United States j. written. To use a well
recognized bit OF slang Mr., Fulton has
made good in the senate, and even more
than good. He ha, taken position
among the big men of that body, and
hi, position has come to him a. a direct
reward of merit and of effort properly
applied.
"Nlr Fulton as shown himself able to
represent his state and its people He
has been found not wanting any time
he has been placed in the balance of
public opinion and public thought. His
position on the rate bill has been the
position of the deep thinking people of
the country, and his speech on the
question showed depth of study a
realization of the rights of all concerned
in the proposed legislation. and desire
to act in accordance with the wishes of
the people who he was supposed to rep
resent in the halls of national legisla
tion. His amendments to the bill,
which, through the modesty of Senator
Fulton bear the name of the leader of
the friends of the measure, Senator Alli-
sou. were accepted by the president
and were successful in re-uniting the
divided factions of the republican party
and in making the bill full party
measure.
Senator Fulton will be found steadily
working for the interests of the State
of Oregon in the future as he has in
the past, His success in securing the
appropriation of the sum of 100000 for
the Columbia jetty when that work |
needed the money badly showed his
standing in the senate at that time. He
has grown since then and he will con-
tinue to be successful in the other mat.
ters which will likely come to his atten-
tion in the interests of this state. In
referring to him the Astorian says;
He is a confrere of the president;
he is consulted, quoted and deferred to
by his colleagues on both sides of the
chamber; he is figure of note in the
largest issues confronting the great
legislature, and dspoSes of his allot'
ment in these grave matters with con
spicuouS dignity and perspcuity; in
fact, he Is senator among senators.
"Ihe correspondent of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat also mentions Senator
Fulton In his letter to his paper After
referring TO the efforts of the friend OF

the rate bill to secure its acceptance by
all republicans. it says:
Then one day Senator Fulton
comparatively new senator but one
who has shown much legal learning and
the possession OF strong intellect,
dropped into the committee room Of
Senator Allison and there suggested
how, by the adding OF two phrases to
the court review provision of the Hep
burn bill it could meet the constitu-
tiona objection that had been urged
against il aud at the same time no
point contended for by the administra-
tion would be abandoned
Senator Allison noted the brevity of
the proposed amendments and their
effect. He seized the amendment with
ayidity and began passing it around
among the. administration senators
One by one they began to approve it..
Then one day he showed the amendment
to Senator Aldrich. That same day
Senator Aldrich coniided to a number of
newspaper correspondents that final
agreement had been reached on the part
of all republican senators as to the form
of the court review amendment
A telegram to the Sunday Oegonian
also says President Roosevelt has prais-
ed Oregon's senator for his work, and
taken altogether we feel that our
senator is not without honor"
