In tow, went down Saturday night in
the storm on Lake Erie of Huron, o.

dition.

standing her age, her captain, Charles

TAFT TAKES OVER
CUBAN REPUBLIC
Secretary of War Issues Proc
lamatiOn Declaring Himself
Head of Government
President Palma Expresses Relief at
Shifting the Burden Of Guiding
the Tempestuous Republic,
While the Masses are
Utterly Indifferent

Havana.-With far less ostentation
than accompanies the accession Of a
government of Cuba was formally
taken over on Saturday by William H.
Taft, secretary of war of the United
States, who, in a proclamation cloth
ed in a kindly and diplomatic tone,
indicative of the policy he would pur-
sue, declared himself provisional
governor of the island. Promptly at
noon Governor Taft. Assistant Secre-
tary Of State Bacon and Captain Nc
Cook, Governor Taft's aide-de-camp.
called officially at the palace and paid
their respects to the retiring presi-
dent. Ignoring President Palma's
message to congress on Friday, in
which he wrongly interpretated the
mission of the American mediators,
Governor Taft spoke kindly to Senior
Palma, to whom, he said, the people
Of Cuba owed an unquestionable debt
Of gratitude President Palma's brief
reply was devoted entirely to an ex-
preston of relief for the opportunity
of shifting the burden of guiding the
tempestuous republic to the represen-
tatives of nation strong enough to
enforce control over 1t.
The fact that the government has
changed hands, from position of alb
solyte independence to the restraint
of d temporary protector, etc, was re-
ceived by the masses with utter indif-
ference Most of the refined and
thoughtful Cubans, while they feel a
certain sensativeness over the loss of
the islands sovereignty, are inclined
to hope that the United States pro-
tectorate will be brief
A Cuban returning to Havana on
Saturday after brief absence would
not have recognized from the general
attitude of the, people that the form of
government had been altered. Bust
ness continued the same, except for
the vigor exhibited by the wholesale
merchants, manufacturers and rail-
roads, to regain their former trade
throughout the island, which has been
at a standstill since the beginning of
the revolution six weeks ago.

Iannuana Of AIrshins.

There is a squabble as to the cor
rect name for flying machines. air
ships and balloons. and the Aero club
Of France attempts to set the matter
straight. "Aearonef" describes a fly
ing machine heavier than air; that is,
an apparatus having no gas bag.
"Aeronefs" are divided into several
classes: "Helicoptera," machines de-
pending on screws for fight; aero
planes" machines propelled by the
Tapping Of wings. The expression
aviator very often incorrectly en-
ployed, should be applied only to the
pilot of an "aeronef,' as "aernonaut'
is applied to the pilot of gas balloon
