Havana, Cuba.-With far less os-

tration, the Government of Cuba was
formally taken over by William H.
! Taft, Secretary of War Of the United
States, who, in proclamation,
couched in a kindly and diplomatic
tone, indicative of the policy he would
pursue, declared himself Provisional
Governor of the island.
Mr.. Taft's announcement of the in
;tentions Of the United States is re-
garded as masterpiece. 1t declared
that as the Cuban Congress had failed
to elect a successor to President
Palma, whose decision to resign was
irreyocable, the country was withouta
government and that the United
States would Professionally take
charge Of its affairs until its people
could form constitutionally another
republic. Without accusation, threat
or reproach, in a few brief words he
stated the necessity for the assump-

A feeling OF relief Is everywhere
manifested over what Is regarded as
the end of the strife in Cuba. The Gu
ban Government officials and politi-
clans were not much in evidence,
but even among them expressions of
satisfaction were not uncommon
over the fact that a reliable Govern
ment had control of the islands af-
fairs. Everybody seems inclined to
agree that the future is much bright
er than it would have been under
other conditions. Implicit confidence
is expressed in the good faith of the
United States, and while no one is
willing to predict the duration of the
American occupation, the Cubans as
a rule are hopeful that the sovereign
ty of the republic will eventually be
be restored to them.

ARMY OF OCCUPATION.
Force of 5852 Men Started For Cuba
at Once.

Washington, D. C.-The President,
acting on the request of Secretary
Taft, ordered the troops, 5652 in
number, which had received pre-
paratory ORDERS" to sail for Cuba.
The necessary orders were imme-
diately telegraphed to commanding
officers of organizations and to staff
officers. Special trains were in readi-
ness at nearly every point and these
started as soon as the troops got
aboard. The troops were taken by
rail to Newport News, Va, the point
of embarkation. The transport Sum-
ner will carry the first organization.
With the troops which are to go
forward and the marines and blue
jackets already in Cuba, the United
States force will somewhat exceed
10000 men, and it is hoped that this
number will prove sufficient to gar
rison the island. Already there are
1000 sailors and 1000 marines in Gu
ban waters.

Staff of the army, authorized the an

tablish peace, and the intention OF
continuing the country's constitu-
tional course with its own citizens up
to and after the new elections, which
shall determine the future permanent
native government OF the island. No
one was menaced; all were reassured.
The favorable reception Of the procla-
nation was universal and pro-
ncunced.
No troops were landed. The Cuban
! flag remains flying In its accustomed
place, its courts are unchanged and
there is no disturbance Of the usual
order of things. It had been planned
to land 5000 marines and jackies
from the fleet in the harbor as soon
as it was learned that the Cuban Con-
gress would not meet to elect sue
cessor to President Palma. These
were to be camped in various open
places in the city for its protection.
But this plan was abandoned.
At President Palma's request thirty
marines were sent from the Newark
to guard the Treasury, and this is
an the force that has been landed.
The sight of a large body Of foreign
troops occupying their city was thus
saved the Cubans, and they appreciat-
ed the fact and remained perfectly or
derly. The feelings of some were
ready to be hurt, but the sight of
their own flags all day and the alb
sence of uniformed invader under
the circumstances made them, happy.
The liberation of sixty-odd political
prisoners added to the general salts
faction over the peaceful ending of
an intolerable situation. In the
change not the slightest friction &C.
Cured anywhere, and II in the hearts
of few politicians who brought on
the downfall OF the first republic
there Is soreness, the great mass Of
the people feel only joy at the pros
pect of second more completely
safeguarded by their powerful friend
on the north.
The commission to superintend the
laying down of arms by the rebels
will visit all the rebel camps through
out the island. It will also disarm
the volunteer forces Of the Govern
ment, leaving the Cuban forces as
they existed prior to the rebellion.
The commission will be accompanied
by disbursing officer who will pay
the expenses of the return home Of
the rebels and thus avoid any dissat-
I isfaction.
Governor Taft received many
prominent Cubans. including the
Mayor and municipal officers and su-
gar growers and cattle breeders of
Camaguey. The latter complained
to him that anarchy was rampant in
the Province of Puerto Principe, that
many of their cattle and horses had
been stolen, and that some women
had been assaulted. Captain Mccoy
assured them that American soldiers
would be there within week.
* General Funston conferred with
Mr.. Taft regarding the location of
the camps for the first division OF
the American troops to be landed
here. General Funston will COM
mand all the troops in Cuba, but If
they exceed the dimensions Of bri-
gade an officer Of higher rank will be
sent from the United States. 1t Is
practically certain, however, that no
such contingency will arise, as it is
apparent that the maintenance of the
Provisional Government will not re-
quire q large number Of troops.
