NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to Pay Cost Of
Intervention.
Havana, Oct. 15.-Charles E. Ma.
goon's first day as governor OF Cuba
passed busily, but quietly. The palace
was singularly still compared with the
eventful days of the past regime.
Governor Masoon said to the Asso.
ciated Press that he was looking for.
ward with confidence to a peaceful
administration. He expressed the
warmest appreciation of the work &C.
complished by Messrs. Taft and Bacon,
both in the pacification of the island
and laying the foundation for smooth
and successful system of provisional
government. The governor sees no
reason to anticipate further sudden
changes in the situation, or any es.
pecially sensational incident. He is
mental matters will be of the common.
place order compared to the exciting
and rapid succession of developments
OF the past two months. Governor
Magoon has announced his decision to
postpone the appointment of cabinet
officers Indefinitely. His intention is
to consider thoroughly the conditions
and needs of each department and
this can be better accomplished at the
outset by having the subordinate
heads report directly to himself. BY
this method the governor believes he
will be better enabled to select the
ministers best fitted for the respective
posts. There will be kept strict ac-
counting of the expenses incurred by
the American army of occupation as
are chargeable to Cuba. These will
include only such expenses as would
not have been incurred but for the
coming of the troops to the island.
The last demonstration of welcome
to returning eX-rebels took place here
upon the arrival of General Betan-
court, who was formerly Guerra's
chief of staff. Betancourt has been
detained in Pinar del Rio collecting
insurgent arms and settling other
matters. He is popular in the cap
ital. A crowd of 1000 persons met
him at the station and greeted him
with roars of delight. Padre Miret,
revolutionary priest, who accompanied
the general, was enthusiastically well
coined. The crowd was composed al
most entirely of negroes. With three
bands of music, they paraded through
several squares, and finally left Betan-
court at his home.
The City of Washington, with the
headquarters and First battalion of
the Eleventh infantry on board, and
the Admiral Schley, with company
of the signal corps and the Seven
teenth and Eighteenth batteries Of
mountain artillery, have arrived here.
General ]. Franklin Bell intends to
distribute battalion of engineers
throughout the island for the purpose
of verifying, correcting and complet-
ing the large army map of Cuba begun
during the former Intervention, but
not completed, except for the prov
inces of Havana and Matanzas.
The twenty-five marines ordered to
the Isle of Pines by Secretary of War
Taft proceeded thither from Batabano
on board a coasting vessel.

The Photographer Advises.

a photographer suggests that when
having photograph taken the lady
dress her hair in a becoming fashion
without regard to the latest mode,
which will certainly change and make
the picture look old fashioned, while
becoming style will not. Do not wear
new dress, and only young people
should be photographed in white.

brakemen of his line. A very fussy.
nervous old woman approached him ON

and asked him II his train stopped ~
Poughkeepsie. He assured her that IL
did. II was a local train, making q
score or more Of stops on its way VI

lions the old lady sought out the
brakeman and repeated her anxious
query. About a score OF times the
brakeman had given the stereotypeo
answer:
Yes, mum, Il does"
At last the anxious traveller got ON
the Trademarks nerves. At about the
twenty-first query he replied:
well, mum, nothing is certain In

train doesn't stop at Poughkeepsis
