JUST imagine Detective McPar-
land and Steve Adams di gging
with pick and shovel to locate
and 1cover that terrible explo-
sive known as "hell fire" which
Adams says he buried but had
forgotten the exact spot. Sup
pose they had struck these bottles
with the pick or shovel and been
blown to a million pieces. We
shudder to think of it. These are
two very brave men,-Denver
Democrat.
If the stuff in question is as
stated in many papers, Greek hre'
a substance that stinks go bad
that no one can approach it, we
imagine that the parties who
made the search would not be in
danger of harm. 1t would be a
waste of energy to attempt to
make Mcfarland stink any worse
than he does now.

GEN. FUNSTON TO LEAVE CUBA
Governor Taft Will Place Gen. Bell in
Charge Of Troops There

HAVANA, Oct l0.-GeneraI Fred
erick Funston will not continue in COM
mand of the American forces in Cuba.
Governor Taft announced tonight that
he and General Funston will leave Ha-
vana for the United States on Satur-
day on the battleship Louisiana. With
them will 90 Assistant Secretary of
State Bacon, and the affairs of Cube
will be left in the hands of Governor
Magoon and General ]. Franklin Bell.
Explaining the change Of plans, Gov
ernor Taft said:
"Geneyal Funston was summoned on
hurry call from the Pacific coast be-
cause he was we'll acquainted with
many Of the iusurgcnt chiefs here and
it was thought he could aid us, as he
did greatly, in bringing the men In
arms to an agreement. General Fun
ston was put temporarily In command
of the troops in Cuba merely as a
convenience until General Bell should
arrive. General Funston, Mr.. Bacon
and myself, with Mrs. Taft and Mrs.
Bacon and our secretaries are return
ing to our permanent duties
Governor Taft's especial confidence
in the chief of the general staff s abIl-
ity to carry out the programme the
governor has initiated resulted in tho
decision TO continue him in the island
Many Cubans Of the faction to which
Mendez Capote and others who organ
lied the Moderate party belong, were
outspoken against General Funston, al"
leging that he had deserted them IN
the war to throw off the yoke of Spain.
Governor Taft did not take cognizance
Of tins bitterness, as he was familiar
with the circumstances under which
General Funston at that time returned
TO the United States. Funston Was
taken i'll, and he had the consent 10
return of General Garcia and other
leaders, who appreciated the long scrv-
ice he had given their cause
Had the proposal to send three ex-
petitions to Cuba been carried out. Gen
eral Funston would have remained aj
Camp Columbia as the commander of a
brigade The close association between
Governor Taft and General Bell IN the
Philippines decided the Provisional gov
ernor TO make a request on President
Roosevelt that General Bell be placed
in charge in Cuba. The party sailing
on the Louisiana will touch at Key
West. where Secretary Taft desires 10
stop III connection with right of way
across the Military reservation for the
railroad which is being constructed

ators are anxious that Secretary Taft
should facilitate this work by dispos.
ing of the Government s interests and
the Secretary now sees the Importance
of the work, which will practically con
meet the United States and Cuba by a
