Cabinet Talks It Over.

Washington. october 2.-cuban interven- ton was ;the principal subject at todays meeting, but no definite announcement of the result of the deliberations was given out. The president stated to the cabinet that the action taken by the American government was destined solely for the benefit of tue people of the island with a view to accomplishing the restoration of order there and the protec- ton of all interests.
 He declared that he had no such mo- tive in view as the annexation of the island by the United States What he wanted now was that the cubans shall he given another chance tt self-govern- ment.
 Unless extraordinary conditions arise no extra session of congress will be called to deal with the Cuban situation. as the president considers he has ample authrl- ty to proceed In the matter, It seems to be well settled that Former Governor Charles F. Magoon of the Panama canal zone. who has just returned from Pana- ma. will be appointed governor of the

 It is believed tonight that all the reYo- lutionists in the vicinity of Havana will be peacefully dispersed in three days. Gen. erals Guerra and del Castillo are actively cooperating to this end.

The president however has expressed belief that he can better spare Governor Ma goon from his duties in the Philippines where he has been appointed q member of the Philippine commission, and vice governor general of the island. than he can the services of Governor Winthrop for the several months during which he ex- poets the provisional governorship of Cuba will continue.

Finds Much Restitution on the Coast and Urges Citizens of the State to Be Liberal in Their
 Responses.

Mobile, October 2-(SpeciaD. Governor W. D. Jelks arrived in the city at $50 D. m. He was met at the train by col- leetor of Customs Tebbetts, and at Hotel Cawthorn by Mayor Pat. J. Lyons, Colonel R. B.. Dumont and other citizens As soon as the trouble resulting from the crime of Jack Robertson was imparted b, him he gave orders through Colonel DiImont summonng the militia companies al Fort Deposit, Evergreen and Brewton 10 Mo- bile, and made acquisition on the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad for a special train to bring the three companies of militia here without delay.
 Address to Alabamians.
 Regarding the storm situation, the gov- ernor requests the Age-Herald to print the following:
 "'fo the People of Alabama:
 "I find upon investigation and reports from the leading people of Mobile these facts:
 "The people of Mobile do not regard their loss as serious, and are pursuing their vacations in trade industry and commerce. l am told and believe that the hurricane has rendered homeless 20OO men, women and children on the lower coast of Mobile and Baldwin counties.
 Mobile, since last Saturday. has we'll organized relief committee. The people of the city have placed $15.OO0 in the hands of the committee. The women of the city have given clothing, bedding and food to aid the distress. The merchants, who sub scrbed to the relief fund, instructed the committees to cal again if more were needed.
 ''The people who are homeless and desti- | tute ask the men who are aiding their l immediate wants for tools and nails that they may rebuild their stricken homes, mend or rebuild their sehooners. that they may begin their work without delay.
 Two millions of Alabamians should help their stricken brothers without re- course to outside charity.
 "I earnestly hope the response of Ala l hamians everywhere shall be prompt and i generous w. D. JELKS.

May Postpone Panama Trip.

The president considered the possibility of the necessity of a postponement of his trip to Panama next month because of conditions in Cuba. He does not think at this time. however, that there is like lihood of conditions arising which will prevent his going to Panama 10 make the tour of Inspection of the canal work.
 Should any evidences of unrest in Cuba make their appearance as a result of the American occupation, and the disarma- ment of the revolutionsts, requiring his presence r Washington. the president has expressed the intention of abandoning the trip to Panama set for this fall in which case 1t will be made after the adjourn ment of congress next spring.

Will Welcome Palma.

At Jaurco, Colonel Lima told Senor Palma he had ordered his force to be mustered out. and that this would be his last act as an officer. Continuing, the colonel declared that the people of Ma tanzas were particularly pleased that the ex-President was coming to their peace full city to enjoy that rest and tranquility he so well deserved. He said also that the Cuban people were sure to re-elect Palma to the Presidency at thir first opportunity.
 Senor Palma said to Colonel Lima that he had full confidence in the good faith of the United States, and that he believed the American government intended to re- store Cuban independence. He advised all to be patient and await the outcome, which he felt sure would be entirely ae- eeptable. A great crowd awaited the train at Matanzas, which Is the moderate stronghold of the island. The provincial and municipal officials welcomed the ex President who was escorted to the home of Manuel Florente. The Palmas will re- main in Matanzas for some time going later to the Valmar plantation at Baya- mao, Santiago province.
 To Cope With Yellow Fever.
 Secretary Taft is busy tonight in his quarters going over the plans prepared by his lieutenants for coping with yellow fever These plans include an increase in the sanitary force and equipment, and very much greater expenditures.
 It is not probable that the governor will appoint new cabinet ministers until after affairs In the island are turned over to the provisional governor. It is Gov ernor Taft's desire to place the various departments in the control of the men who were not so active during the revo- lution as to arouse much opposition from eihter liberals or moderates.
 The United States cruiser Denver left here this afternoon for San Juan to bring Governor Winthrop here. She will return in about ten days.
 Tomorrow Governor Taft will occupy the office at the palace. but 1t is uncertain when he will take up his residence there. The question of Cuba is for the moment one of considerable seriousness, as there are obligations outstanding for the pay ment shortly for at least one-half of the $13.000 coo in the treasury at present.
 The income of the government. however. amounts to nearly S2.000,0o0 a month, and loans are not considered necessary.

pecially after travelling that distance

WEAK AFTER SIXTH ROUND
Still Fun of Fight, But Blows Lack
Force-HeTman a Wonder at TAX
ing Punishment.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Kid Sullivan received the decision over
Kid Goodman. of Boston, before Al Her
ford's Eureka \. c.. in Baltimore. last
night. after fifteen rounds of grueliHs
fighting The victory was great heip
TO Sullivan. and he was warmly con-
graduated. for II came upon the heels
of successive defeats by the knockout
route by Andy McGarry and INK Rus
sell.
Sullivan got the long end because he
led the fighting throughout the battle
and in the first six rounds. especially,
hammered Goodman almost into lnSeu-
sibilty. From the seventh session 10
the end Sullivan slowed up 10 a rather
alarming extent. His blows lost their
steam, his jud sment OF distance was
poor, and. while he came 10 life now
and again AMI peppered his riVals oody

was a fusilade OF boy punches rapidly

failing strength OF the Washingtonlan-
Goodman's Great UppeTcut.
Goodman had a particularly nasty up
percut on the breal-away. He refused
10 weigh in, was seven to ten pounds
heavier than Sullivan, had hardy
frame and powerful arms and shoulder
muscles. They were fighting under
straight rules. which compel man 10
protsct himself at all times. When
they broke from cliuch Goodman had
a habit of holding SulltVau's glove until
the Kid was far enough away 10 per

force. In the first round Sullivan was

that sent the Capital scrapper to his
knees for the count OF nine. After
that Kid watched carefully in the
breaks, but could not always prevent
that vicious upward drive and was

Goodman is certainly q nend at assimi-
