TROOPS OFF FOR CUBA.
Mobilization OF Forces at Newport
News Where Transports Are
Ready

Washington, Oct L. American
troops are now moving toward Cubf
Mobilization of the forces will be a
Newport News, Va, for the most part
although part of the expedtonary
force to Cuba will be sent from New
York and Tampa, Fla. Advices re
ceived at the departments of the mill
tary today indicate that all is quiet in
Cuba and that the insurgents intend
to lay down their arms.
The probability is the United States
forces in the island will be landed only
as precautionary measure So far as
officials are advised no trouble of a
serious kind is anticipated, but in ac-
cordance with instructions from Pres
ident Roosevelt hurried preparations
are being made for the sending of an
expeditionary force of the army to
Cuba.
The first American troops will be
landed at Havana next Saturday.
Meantime the marines and bluejackets
from the American fleet in Cuban
waters will protect American interests
and support Secretary Taft, the Pro-
visional Governor of Cuba, in the
preservation of order and the protec-
ton of life and property.
In official circles here American in
tervention was regarded as inevitable.
How long it may continue it is i'm
possible to foretell. The nature of the
intervention and the preparations for
it indicate supervision of Cuban af-
fairs on the part of the American gov
rangements have been concluded not
only for the eXpedtionary force to
Cuba of about $500 men. but for a
second force of equal numbers.
No orders for the mobilization of the
second force, of course, have been is
sued, but if the men are needed all
have been completed for
hurying them to Cuba at the earliest
possible moment. Whether more troops
than are included in the first eXpedi-
ton will be sent to Cuba will depend
upon the developments in the island
during the next ten days.
1t is certain, however, that sufti'
rient force of American troops will be
in Cuba to support the
government and to insure
security to life and property pending |
he establishment of a stable govern |
nent by the Cubans.

Work of the Hurricane,

Mobile, Ala, Sept. 29.-Between rs
end 100 lives lost, fully two score ves-
sells driven ashore or wrecked in vari-
Gus parts OF the Gulf of Mexico, dam
age amounting to 81, 500 900 in the citv
OF Mobile, and two millions more at
outside points, is the record OF the
storm which swept Mobile Wednesday
and Wednesday night. No accurate es-
innate of the casualties can be made
as yet, and it is doubtful, if exact fguree
will be known for a week or more.
Pensacola suffered as much as Mo-
bile. The loss of life is known to be
heavy and damage to property will
reach $5, 900, 900. The smaller towns
and country throughout the district felt
the hurricane equally as much as the
two cities.

'CUBANS GIVE
UP CONTROL
Secretary of War Taft Assumes Gov.
ernment of Islands.

Warrant Civil Government, When
Governor Winthrop, Now Of Porto
Rico, Will Step In Result Was
Expected.

Havana, Sept. 29.-American inter-
vention in Cuba will be an accomplish
ed fact today.
President Roosevelt's peace commits.
sioners, although clothed with the full
est authority from him to take such ac-
tion whenever it became obvious that
the securing of peace by harmonizing
the warning Cubans was impossible,
patiently withheld their hands from
thus setting aside Cuban sovereignty
until the last hope disappeared. This
stage was reached at late hour last
night, when majority of all parties
refused to attend the E sion of congress
called to at upon the resignation OF
mem bers of the government and declar-
ed definitely that they would have
nothing more to do with the govern.
ment of Cuba.
AS was expected, there has been
much rah id denuncia,ion of the course
pursued by the American commission
ers, who, it has been alleged, have act
ed unfairly towards the government,
but the great mass of the residents of
Cuba, Cubans, Spaniards, Americans
and all other foreigners, welcome inter-
vention as something for which they
have longed throughout six weeks of
unrest, disorder and il-feelng.
The proclamation will be Issued to-
day. 1t will be einged by Mr.. Taft, by
virtue o. the authority vested in him
by President Roosevelt. II viii create
Mr.. Taft provisional military governor
Of Cuba until he deems the country
pacified for civil govern
ment, whereupon he will call Beckham
Winthrop, governor OF Porto Rico, to
act as civil governor.

DROWNED AT HIS POST.
Keeper of Lighthouse on Gulf Declines
to Take Refuge on Tug.

| 10 dHe hc1uSC VII IVY
Mobile, Ala, Oct 2.-The number OF
casualties in the great storm of last
/ Wednesday is slowly increasing, as
messages arrive from places which
have heretofore been inaccessible. The
total last night of the known dead was
rs. This number was brought up to
a certainty of 10, and a possibility OF
102, by the reports which reached Mo
bile during the night and early today
Four bodies not before counted have
been found at Coden. and it is esti
mated that 90 lives have been lost
from the oyster fleet around Cedar
Point This last estimate is not known
to be accurate, and is probably some
what exaggerated. for the reason that
lit includes among the dead every man
aboard a fishing boat who has not been
heard of since the storm.
1t is known that some of the boats
on which these men were have beer
driven ashore, and it is entirely pos
sible that some of the crews managed
to reach the shore. 1t does not seem
likely at present that the death roll
will amount in this vicinity to more
than 125.
Mobile itself is rapidly emerging
from the confusion caused by the
storm. Large gangs were kept work
ing all of Sunday in clearing the
streets of debris, three of the street
car lines have commenced to run, for
the first time since Wednesday, the
confusion at the docks is rapidly be-
ing repaired and business will be at
normal action as soon as the railroads
are able to run trains.
The keeper of the Horn Island light
house. just outside of Scranton, lost
his life. The captain of tug which
came near the house at the commence
ment of the storm urged him to leave,
but he refused to abandon his post,
and in a short time was drowned. The
entire end of the island on which the
lighthouse was situated is said to have
been carried away by the waves.
Five out of eight vessels at Ship
Island at the time of the storm were
beached and two will be total wrecks.
Several vessels, the names of which
are unknown, are ashore off Horn Is
land and the small islands marking
the passage between Dauphin Island
and the mainland have been destroyed.
The beacon lights on this part of the
coast are not greatly damaged.
The schooner Alice Graham, of Mo-
lle, is known to have been lost. with
Ter crew of six men. This boat has
1een pursued by an evil fate, and, be-
sides having various mishaps from
ime to time, was wrecked in the great
storm of 1898, when several people
we're lost from her.
Four bodies have been picked up in !
he water near Dauphin Island and
AVE been buried there. Two were |
vidently sailors and two were boys.
he people on Dauphin Island suffered
reat hardships during the storm, and
Or "a hours were in great danger. The
oldiers of Fort Gaines made dan
erous trip of two miles to the resi-
ences on the island, offering to give
shelter within the fort, but
ne offer was in all cases refused. the
eople preferring to remain in their
wn houses.

Chittam Bark in Demand,

Eugene-Chittam bark is going up in
price rapidly. All the past winter
Eugene dealers have been paying 81
and cents for the bark, but at present
the price offered is cents. Light peel
for the past two seasons is given as the
cause for the rise. Manu- acturers'
stocks are running low. There are
about seven carloads OF the bark in Eu-
gene warehouses, come of which was
purchased two and three years ago at a
price about the same as is now offered.

Honeymoon Trips to Avoid.

"There are two pieces Of advice fs
like to give about honeymoons," said
the man who has had two OF them.
zone Of them is, never so on.a long
sea voyage with your new wife. The
other is, never take long automobile
trip with her. I've tried both, and
both have been miserable failures. 7
would not. be guilty OF such an u11-
chivalrous comment had both Of my
wives not agreed with me in both In
stances.
Just think Of having knocked down
all the barriers of conventionality,
which practically shielded you during
the courtship to find yourself for eight
or ten days in such close companion
ship with your better half as is offered
on an automobile honeymoon! It's ave-
full to think Of it.
"When was on my last honey noon,
which was the automobile one; we
were only three days on the road when
I was reminded of the man who turned
to his wife during their honeymoon
and said: Don't you wish some friend
would come along" oh, yes. dear,
she sighed, or an enemy even. =
