Washington, Oct. 3.--After il talk
at the White House with Governor

view of the fact that Secretary Taft
had already taken up the subject with
Beekman Winthrop, the present gov
ernor of Puerto Rico, he would not
interfere with the programme.
Later it was announced that upon
further consideration Of the subject
the president had decided to adhere
to his plan formed yesterday and send
Charles T.. Ma"oon to Cuba to relieve
Secretary Taft as provisional COVER
nor of Cuba, allowin" Governor Win
throp to remain in Puerto Rico, where
his services are needed.
1t was stated today that the prcsi-

put the matter in different light
and indicated that the secretary was
willing that the governor should rc-
main in Puerto Rico. President
Roosevelt, who has all along been an
Nious to have Mr.. Magoon go to Cuba,
acted promptly on the secretary's dis
patch and Immediately announced
the appointment Of Mr.. Maeoor,.
