Palma and Mr.. Steinhart being Vice
President Mendez Capote. Secretary Of
State O'Fsrrcll and Acting Minister Of
the Interior Montalvo. As none Of the
moderate leaders was consulted the
moderates are much nettled and dis
gruntled.
The fact that Intervention was so
desired by the more
thoughtful element while II mitigates
to some degree the feeling over what
is alleged to be Palma's duplicity, does
not deter general expression OF the
opinion that Palma, despite his previ-
ous good record, will no longer retain

MACON STARTS FOR ISLAND
Powers as Provisional Governor VIII
Be Like Gen. Leonard Woods
II. A..oolnAnd Larnnn

BE Like GEN. Leonard Wood's
BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, oct 6.-Governor
Charles e. Magoon, who, with Gen.
Bell. Mrs. Taft and Mrs Bacon left
Washington today for Havana, Will
exercise in Cuba all the power which
was vested in Gen. Leonard Wood
when he ruledA Cuba under the title
of military governor.
Governor Magoon will be known as
the provisional governor but his au-
thority will be plenary and he win be
subject only to the orders of the pres
ident and secretary Of war.
Cuba will have the semblance of an
autonomous government and the
United States will continue to be rep
resented in Havana by an American
minister and the consuls will continue
at their posts.
It is officially stated that there has
not been and will be no subversion of
the Cuban constitution. BY incorpor-
ating 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
Cuba is still to be governed by con-
stitutional means and by machinery
such as Is provided in any community
when martial law is necessary.
During the occupancy of Cuba it is
not expected that the Cuban congress
will exercise any power. In fact there
is no method by which 1t can be as
sembled unless Governor Magoon shall
deem such action necessary to prepare
the way for another election. Such
a meeting is not necessary, for the
provisional governor by decree may
perform all functions looking to the
re-establishment of the civil govern
ment of Cuba.

DIVERTED TO PUGET SOUND
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 6.-Convinced
that strike will be declared at this
port early next week by the longshore-
men engag ged In loading the lumber
ships, the owners are ordering all of
their tonnage sent to Puget Sound,
where they will be supplied with car
goes.
If the move is rot counteracted it will
be necessary for the several big saw
mill plants in this city to close down,
which would mean an approximate
daily loss to Portland of something over
100000 in the way of pay roll and other
disbursements.
Members of the organization are de-
manding 90 cents instead of 40 cents for
loading at Portland, and only an in
crease from 35 to 40 cents for doing the

RUSSIANS PLAN
THEIR CAMPAIGN
BY Associate Press.

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 6.-With
the publication today of the draft of
the program of the peaceful regenera-
tionists, who are midway in their be-
lief between the Octoberists and the
constitutional democrats, the lines of
the coming electoral campaign are
clearly drawn.
The constitutional democrats, several
hundred of whom left tonight for their
congress at Helsingfors, intend to
stand on their victorious platform of
the last election which demands
general measure of land appropriation,
abolition of the council of the empire
or it's limitation to purely advisory
functions and the fullest ministerial
responsibility before the representa-
tives of the people elected by universal
direct suffrage.
The deliberations at Helsingfors will
be confined to questions of tactics,
particularly concerning the attitude to
be taken without regard to the Viborg
manifesto
The Octoberists, standing on the inn
perial manifesto of October 30 of last
year, subordinate land, labor and other
issues to the main problem of estab-
fishing order in the country and are
Wiling TO cooperate with the admin
istration in it's efforts to institute re-
forms and pacify their empire.
The New Party
The new party of regeneration,
though it is now smallest, is steadily
making inroads into the constitutional
Democrats and has attracted a large
faction from the Octoberists, but its
capture of the Octoberist organizatio
and full amalgamation now is impos-
sible.
The platform of the regenerationists
advocates, bicameral legislature,
lower house elected by universal man.
hood suffrage and an upper house
elected by the zemStvos to replace the
present council of the empire; parlia-
mentary control of the budget and
loans; gradual change from indirect
to direct taxation; installation of
progressive income property taxes
and the reduction of the tariff, es-
pecially on agricultural machinery.
On all important agrarian questions
the regenerationists take the middle
ground advocating the surrender of
crown and church lands and the linn
itation of great estates. but compul-
sorry expectation only in necessary
cases.

Commissioners Ask Corporation Coun-
sci for Opinion.
Taking cognizance of point raised by
John E. McLeran and others interested
in securing the laying OF a water main
in Wesley Heights. near the American
University grounds. the Commissioners
today asked Corporation Counsel Thomas
whether they have authority to lay q
public main In a right-of way and levy
an assessment therefor, the right-of-
way being in the line OF a street pro-
posed under the highway plans; also
whether IL 1t is laid and the street
afterward becomes public street. an
assessment for water main could be lew
led after subdivision Of abut.ing prop
erty or before subdivision, when a con-
nection Is made with the main.
The request for an extension OF the water
main in Nebraska avenue and in 18Th street
Heights. was made some time ago by Mr..
McLeran. and only recently 1t was renewed.
with the supplemental statement that John
8. Larcombe would grant permission to
private property, known as "Grassiands."
Though this removed one Of the objections
which had been made to having the main
laid. Engineer Commissioner Biddle called
attention to the fact that Mr.. McI.eran rep
resented only So. 50 Of q total assessment
Of $1.115. which would necessarily be made
in connection with the improvement, and
he suggested that larger percentage Of
property be represented In the petition for
the main. Col. Btddfe also stated that the
law authorizing the Commissioners to lay
water mains specified that they must be
laid in streets. roads avenues or alleys"
and It was in connection with this statement

point regarding the status. Of right OF
