GEN. FUNSTON LEAVES CU0A
GEN. BELL WILL COMMAND AMER.
IcAN TROOPS IN ISLAND.
PIans-cubans Were Opposed
to Funston.

Havana 49, The recall of Gen.
Frederick Funston was announced
Wednesday night by Provisional Gov.
ernor Taft. Gen. j. Franklin Bell will
succeed him in command of the
American forces in Cuba, and Gen.
Funston will accompany Mr.. Taft and
Mr.. Bacon back to America.
In explaining this change of plans,
Gov. Taft said
Gen. Funston was summoned on a
hurry call from the Pacific coast be.
cause he was well acquainted with
many of the insurgent chiefs here and
it was thought he could aid us, as
he did greatly, in bringing the men in
arms to an agreement. Gen. Funston
was put temporarily in command Of
the troops in Cuba merely as a con-
venience until Gen. Bell should ar
rive. Gen. Funston, Mr.. Bacon and
myself, with Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Ba-
con and our secretaries are returning
to our permanent duties"
Gov. Taft's especial confidence in
the chief of the general STATS ability
to carry out the programme the gov
ornor has initiated resulted in the de-
cision to continue him in the island
Many Cubans of the faction to
which Mendez Capote and others who
organized the moderate party belong,
were outspoken against Gen. Funston,
alleging that he had deserted them
in the war to throw off the yoke Of
Spain. Gov. Taft did not take cog
nizance of this bitterness, as he was
familiar with the circumstances under
which Gen. Funston, at that time re
turned to the United States. Funston
was tlNh i'll and he had the consent
to return of Gen. Garcia and other
leaders, who appreciated the long
service he had given their cause.
Havana.-Charles Il. Magoon, the
newly appointed provisional governor
of Cuba, arrived here Tuesday after.
noon. Coincident with his coming
Gov. Taft gave out a general decree
proclaiming amnesty not only to the
rebels, but to all persons charged
with political offenses or crimes in any
way connected with the revolution
He also issued orders covering the at.
titude of the American marines and
soldiers toward the people of Cuba.

ST. PETERSBURG-Further expul-

daily.
Among the latest is that of Count
Tolstoi, a moderate member of parlia-

Attacks on the police similar to
those which have occurred at Warsaw,
have commenced at st. Petersburg,
but are less successful, owing to the in

Formal Transfer of Control Accom-.
plished at Annual Meeting.

Milwaukee.-The Wisconsin Central
Railway company was formally trans.
ferred into the control of new inter.
ests at Tuesdays annual meeting of
the stockholders, which was held at
the general offices of the corporation
in this city. The new board of direc-
tors is headed by George NJ. Cum
ming, of New York. The new names
in the list of directors are: 7. l.. Chad
bourne, Jr., John +. Hill, F. E. Dewey,
Harry G. Starr, G. c. Rasmus, and
Mark T. Cox These take the places
of William L. Bull, H. F. Whitcomb,
Howard Morris, John Crosby Brown,
James c. Colgate and Gerald l.. Hoyt,
resigned.
Mr.. Bradford made the following
statement: There is no intention
whatever of consolidation or combina-
ton between the Wisconsin Central
and the other roads; and all reports
to the effect that this property is to be
absorbed consolidated with, or in
any manner placed in a position by
which it loses it's identity and indi-
viduality, as separate and distinct
railway system, are without the least
foundation. The new owners, who are
now in control of the property have
no idea of any such change. The fact
that | happen to be president of the
Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville
road has no significance whatever, in
the changes in the Wisconsin Cen
trail"

ROOSEVELT MAY BE SENATOR.
1t Is Rumored He Wants to Succeed
Plat.

Washington. - Reports that Pres
ldent Roosevelt wants to be sen.
ator from New York, to succeed Sen.
ator Thomas C. Plat, are revived
here. The president, on the authority
of men intimate with him, not only
desires to be senator from New York
after he ends his present term, but
frankly admits that ambition. More.
over, he considers the trend of things
in New York politics at this time dis.
tinctly favorable to his ambition and
so do his friends. He is being looked
to more and more as the leader of
New York Republican politics and is
being consulted by State Chairman
Woodruff and other leaders almost
daily.

| Of the trial, was then called to the
stand. Mrs. Butts said she was the
stepdaughter of the late George M
Rice, an independent oil refiner OF
Marietta, o. She had also acted as
Mr.. Rice's private secretary and was
the cXccutriX of his estate. She pro-
duced, at the request Of Attorney
Phelps, the certificates of original
trust stock owned by Mr.. Rice, the
certificates of legal title" into which
these were later transferred and scrip
showing title to fractional shares of
stock in all of the 20 subsidiary com.
panies OF the original trust. The text
of these certificates was read into the
record and Mrs. Butts excused, the de.
Tense not caring to cross-eXamine her.
The objection of the defense to the
character of evidence brought forward
was mainly on the ground that the
prosecution was going entirely outside
of the case as set forth in the informa.
ton filed by County Prosecutor David.
Besides this, the authenticity of the
evidence in all cases was questioned.
The general answer to these objec.
tions was made by Attorney General
Ellis, who made his first appearance as
an active participant in the prosecu.
ton, and by Attorney Phelps. The de.
Tense was taken care of by Attorneys
Elliott, Kline, Troup and Tolles, Mr..
Kline and Mr.. Troup doing the great.
er part of the talking.

Answering the objection of Mr..
Kline that the prosecution was going

which the suit was brought, was as

| ments or naming the parties in any

| However, it was the intention of the
prosecution to show that the nine men
who formed originally the Standard

the state; that they abandoned the

Findlay, O-The suit of the state
of Ohio against the Standard Oil COM
pany of Ohio, in which the company
is charged with conspiracy against
trade, began here Tuesday and pro
crossed at a rapid pace.
A jury, composed mostly of farmers,
was secured in less than two hours !;
County Prosecutor w. l.. David pre-
scented his case; Virgil p. Kline, attor-
ney for the Defense made answer;
Attorney G. II. Phelps, of the prosecu-
ton, then read documentary evidence
until the court adjourned 20 minutes
before five o'clock. He promised to
continue the reading during the great
er part of Wednesday.
In brief, Mr.. David stated to the
jury that the Standard Oil company
became a trust in 1882, and although
1t had several times since changed the
form OF its organization, had not
! ceased to commit the offenses of a
trust.
RockefeIler's Evidence Admitted.
Findlay, o. - Every point in an
endless series of clashes between
Standard OILS attorney and the
prosecution during the trial Wednes-
| day was won by the Ohio lawyers.
The session was one long struggle be-
| tween the defense and the county at
torney, aided occasionally by Attor.
ney General Wade Ellis, over the ad.
instability of evidence. But in every
tilt the shining legal lights of the cor.
poration went down in defeat before
the arguments of Prosecutor David
Judge Bankers rulings were given
only after careful consideration.
The result was that the testimony OF
John ID. Rockefeller given in 1898 in
the litigation against the Standard Oil
trust before the supreme court of the
state was admitted and carefully read
to the jury by Attorney Phelps fol
the prosecution. This consumed the
morning session and part of the after
| noon.
