WARSHIP CONNECTICUT.
Put Into Commission at BROOKLYN
Navy Yard Today.


Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, September 2o-Amid tho
cheering of jackies and the pIayine of
bands the tirst-class battleship Connecticut.
one of the largest of the United States
navy, went into commission at the Brook
Ign navy yard today. The ceremonies were
Slightly restricted on account of the small
number OF ships now at the yard and by
the fact that the new ship has not yet got a
full crew. But there were enough people on
hand to give the big boat a good send off
Capt. William Smith officially put the
battleship into service. He assembled
what officers and crew there were along
the quarter deck and in the after gun tur-
rets and read to them the department or
der commissioning the ship. .'Old Glory
was unfurled at the stern staff and the
captains pennant broke from the main
truck as the marines saluted and the ships
band struck up "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." All the sailors and marines in the
navy yard, and especially those on board
the receiving ship Hancock, crowded the
rails and sent up repeated cheers Even
the workmen at the yard threw aside their
tools and helped in the celebration
Rear Admiral Joseph B. Coghlan did not
participate In the ceremonies, as he is on
his vacation in the White mountains. No
orders have been received and the ship
will probably remain at the navy yard for
some time.
She is $50 feet long, 76 feet o inches wide
and has a loaded draught Of 26A feet.
When loaded with a full complement Of
coal her tonnage is 1866.

HAVANA. September 29.-An American
provisional government assumed possession
OF Cuba today when War Secretary Taft's
proclamation declaring himself provisional
governor of the island was formally issued.
The proclamation was published in the
Official Gazette and thousands of printed
copies of the document were distributed in
Havana and elsewhere.
The terms of the proclamation caused
general satisfaction, especially on account
of the moderate terms in which 1t is
phrased. it's statement that the provisional
government of Cuba is undertaken only on
account OF the necessities of the situation
and its promise that the provisional gov
eminent Will be maintained purely for the
purpose of restoring peace, order and pub
lie confidence until permanent govern
ment is established.
No disturbance of any kind occurred last
night. The business interests are gratified
at the change of government. A striking
feature OF the provisional government is
the fact that the Cuban flag has not been
lowered.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-09-29

The military occupation Of the Island Of
Cuba has been decided upon. Orders to
that effect were issued by Acting Secretary
Oliver, today in conformity with Geographic
instructions received from Secretary Taft
this morning An effort was made to get
in communication with President Roosevelt
by wireless telegraph before actually issu-
ing the orders to the troops to move, but it
was decided to act at once under author
ity previously given by the President. 1t
is anticipated that the President will be
heard from during the afternoon.
A full copy of the proclamation issued by
Secretary Taft was received at the State
Department this morning from Assistant
Secretary Bacon, and was taken to Gen.
Oliver acting secretary Of war, by whom
its contents were communicated to Gen.
Bell, chief Of staff, and other officers, ar
ranging for the movement of troops to
Cuba.
The First Expedition.
The first expedition, consisting of $500
troops, is ordered to sail from Newport
News as soon as possible. 1t will probably
start in about six or seven days. The
quartermaster general has been instructed
to obtain transports soon possible
and contracts are being entered into with
steamship companies.
Full plans for the expedition were made
weeks ago by the War Department which
will provide for the sending of only two
battalions from each regiment to be drawn
upon, leaving a skeleton battalion of each
of the regiments in this country.
The organizations ordered to participate
in the expedition are as follows
Infantry-5th Regiment, Plattsburg bar
racks: 18th Infantry, Fort D. A. Russell,
Wyo.; 7th Infantry. Fort Mcpherson. Ga.
9th Infantry, Fort Sheridan, Ill.,; 2Sth In
| fantry, Fort Smelling, MINI.
Cavalry-11th Cavalry. Fort Des Moines,
| Ia. 10Th Cavalry, Fort Ethan Allen. VT;
| the 18th and 18th Mountain Batteries, now
at Vancouver, Wash, and two companies
of Engineers from the Washington barracks
also will participate in the expedition.
Capt. Butt Ordered to Havana.
Capt. A. w. Butt, depot quartermaster at
Washington was ordered to proceed at once
| to Cuba to prepare for the arrival of the
| troops, such shelter tents. etc. Capt

MINISTER QUEsADA ILL.
Has Received No Advices From the
Cuban Government.

Senior Don Gonzalo De Quesada, the Cuban
minister is i'll today, and as a result he Is
unable to look into the troubles in his coun-
try, although Senior Pardo, the first secre-
tary, is keeping the minister acquainted
with all that happens.
Senior Quesada sent word through his
secretary at noon to a Star representative
to the effect that he had received no COM
munication from his government whatso-
ever 1t was also learned that Senior Que
sada will see President Roosevelt after the
latter's arrival from Oyster Bay Monday
afternoon.
The situation caused by Secretary Taft's
proclamation of today, declaring a provi-
sonal government for Cuba, is said to be
without precedent in this country, in that
the Cuban legation is and has been for
some days without any advices other than
those contained in the press dispa tcheS In
fact the legation is in chaotic state. Min
lister Quesada before sailing from Europe
was informed by President Palma that
proper instructions would be sent him by
mail. These have not yet come to hand,
but in the meantime the Cuban government
is thing of the past and they may not
be effective
1t is taken for granted here that proper
notification will be sent the governments
OF the world of the peaceable Intervention
Of the United States.

LABOR MEN IN POLITICS.
San Francisco Trade Council Endorsed
Bell for Governor.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 2s.-The
San Francisco labor council last night, after
formally indorsing the democratic candidate
Theodore A. Bell, for governor, adopted the
following resolutions:
First, that the executive committee
should telegraph Samuel Gompers to use
his best endeavors with William R. Hearst
to have William H. Langdon, the candidate
of the Independence League for governor,
withdraw; second, that the executive COM
mittee of the council call upon the demo-
cratic campaign committee and have the
latter wire the democratic committee of New
York to use it's influence with Hearst to
have Langdon withdraw; third, that the
executive committee wire Hearst direct to
have Langdon withdraw.
The resolution indorsing Bell was adopted
after two hours debate, in which some Of
the members of the council stood for Lang
don and others for Austin Lewis, the social
list candidate for governor. The motion to
make Bells MISREPRESENTATION was
lost through opposition Of the socialists.

WILL RETURN TO NEW YORK.
Commissioner Cooley to Resume the
Practice of Law.

Civil Service Commissioner A. w. Cooley
Will resign from the commission next sum-
mer and return to New York to resume law
practice. This decision has not been taken
suddenly, Mr.. Cooley having talked over the
matter with the President some time ago.
Inc move Is prompted chiefly by financial
reasons. The salary of civil service COM
missioner is not large one, and Mr..
Cooley knows that the legal field in New
York Is much more lucrative, having prac-
Hced there up to 1903, when he came to
washington as member of the commits
sion.
/, The date of his resignation has not vet
peen definitely fixed, and it is not even
known whether the President has consid-
cred the question of his successor.

;HORTLY AFTER NINE TODAY
Frightful Rear-End Collision of Ex-
press Trains.
CAR CUT IN TWAIN
The Impact Smashed the Two Coaches
Ahead Into Kindling Wood
Bodies Frightfully Mangled.

PHILADELPHIA, September 29.-Seven
persons were killed. several more may die
and twenty-five or more injured in fright
full rear-end collision Of passenger trains
on the New York division of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad at Eddington, nineteen
miles north of this city, shortly after 8
o'clock today. Following it's customary
policy of silence, the Pennsylvania railroad
declines absolutely to furnish information
regarding the cause of the wreck or the
number of killed Or injured.
1t is stated by passengers, however, that
the Long Branch express. bound for Phila-
delphia, had stopped to cool a hot journal.
While the train crew were at work on the
journal. the express which left New York
at 1870 am. Numbered around the curve
and crashed into the Long Branch train.
1t Is declared that the express from
New York disregarded signals and thus
caused the accident. Most Of those killed
and injured were in Pullman car on the
rear of the Long Branch train. 1t was cut
in two as with a knife and the impact
smashed the two coaches ahead of it.
Because Of lack of facilities it was some
time before the work Of rescue began. A
train was quickly made up, and most OF
the injured were brought to this city,
though some were sent to Bristol and
neighboring farm houses.
The dead were extricated from the mass
Of wreckage and stretched out alongside
the track. Two hours later northbound
passenger train was stopped at the scene
Of the wreck, and the bodies of seven dead
were sent to morgue at Bristol, Pa, seven
miles from Eddington.
District Man Among Those Injured
On the train which arrived at the West
Philadelphia station at 11:05 were twelve
injured persons. They were distributed
among the hospitals.
Among those hurt was J. H. Caswell, TWEEN
ty-five years old, of Washington, ID. c., a
travelling man from the Pittsburg Steel
Company. He was suffering from con-
tusions all over his body. He got on the
Long Branch train at Trenton en- route to
Philadelphia. Mr.. Caswell said:
"A short distance north Of Eddington
the airbrakes of our train went wrong and
we stopped for repairs. AS is usual when
train stops many passengers got out and
stood along the track. 1 sat in my car
and was suddenly Mortified to see those
outside waving their arms and shouting

York express rushing toward our train and
I jumped out OF the window. Just as
leaped the crash came: The carnage was
