Havana. Oct. 1.-The headquar-
ters of the American commissioners
was transferred from the battleship
which brought them TO Cuba to a
house in Marinao soon after their ar
rival.
Both Secretaries Taft aud Bacon
rise at o'clock. and by 8 have An
lshed breakfast, which in this coun-
try is a very light repast of rolls and
coffee.
Nothing connected with the visit OF
these two distinguished gentlemen
has impressed the Cubans so deeply
as the celebrity with which they get
10 business aud the devotion with
which they continue at work hour
after hour.
Their frank cordially to all classes
of visitors has been another agreeable
surprise to the Cubans. They have
been SO accustomed to partlsanship
on the part Of public men that secre-
tsry Tafts friendly attitude to all
persons who can aid him in his task
his candid desire to gather informa-
ton from every source. strikes them
as remarkable novelty. The entire
absence of formality at the Finca de
Hldalgo is In agreeable contrast with
the tedious etiquette in President Pal
mas Official home.
The visitors are ushered into his
presence and dismissed with the
creates, economy OF physical energy
Important, indeed, must be the indi-
vdual whom the portly secretary
honors with his escort beyond the
door There is an automobile always
in attendance. After dinner the sec
rotary sometimes takes an outing
along the "Calzado," but most OF his
evenings are spent In the elaboration
OF data collected during the day 1t
Is not expected In Havana that secre-
tary Taft will make any announce
ment OF the conclusions to which he
comes before his return to Washing
ton. II Is felt that the gravity OF
the situation is such that he will wish
to confer personally with the presi-
dent before publishing his recon-
mendations. There does not seem to
be any reason to doubt that the In
formation which he has obtained so
far shows that the present rebellion
can be satisfactory arranged. The
government is practically Obliged to
do whatever may be desired by the
United states.

play waiting game. This means
that he will simply watch The effect
of Secretary Taft's proclamation
throughout the provinces. That
there will be no serious trouble en-
countered in Havana is not doubted,
but as much cannot be said for the
outlying districts. The province from
which news Is most eagerly awaited
Is that of Santiago. always the hot
bed OF rebellion and turbulence. II
there is to be lighting Santiago is
expected to hoist the banner, but the
fact that no bad advices have come
from there inclines the officials here
to take rather hopeful view Of
matters

THROUGH TREE.
AERONAUT WAS CARRIED But
HE HUNG on.
He Cut Loose Above the Clouds and
Came Down Four Miles Away
From Park.

Dare Devil Dennis" made another
balloon ascension yesterday after
noon at Wallace park and besides the
usual excitement, attending an ascen-
sion, furnished even more than was
bargained for When Dennis tried TO
put the cap on the fire box to prevent
the balloon from catching fire and
ran under the big air bag the wind
caught it and it veered. Dennis was
dragged through the branches of a
walnut tree and was bruised and
scratched by the twigs and sharp
branches, but hung on.
The balloon disappeared in the
clouds and when Dennis cut loose the
earth was hidden from view. He went
a mile in the air and came down four
miles from the park.

SOME RECORDS OF THE BLOW

Mobile, Ala, via. Meridian, Miss,
Oct. L. The number of casual
ties in the great storm of last We'd
nesday is slowly increasing. as mes
sages are received from places which
have heretofore been inaccessible.
The total last night of the known
dead was seventy-fye. This number
was brouSht up to certainty of sew
enty-nine and possibility OF 102 by
the reports which reached Mobile
during the night, and early today.
Captain Wilson, of the Banan re-
ported that the beacons in the bay
and all of the range lights have been
carried away and declared that the
lighthouse on Sand Island has been
destroyed, only the tower remaining.
There was no light burning, he said,
on the approached entrance into the
harbor. Captain Hansen of the Be-
lie, saw the light somewhat earlier.
and 1t must, therefore. have been
destroyed on Wednesday evening.
The government tender Ivy went
down the bay early TO-DAY around the
entrance into the narDor and to
make a careful examination of pos
sible changes made by the storm in
the channels between the entrance
- H. horhAr opd tha oitxv
The situation along the coast to
the west of this city is now fairly
we'll known. At Scranton, Miss, one
church, the Odd Fellows hall and
several buildings were blown down.
At Pascagoula beach not a resi-
dence Is standing. the river front at
that point is completely torn up, ana
the light house there has been de-
stroyed Shipping at this point, how
ever, has not been badly damaged.
The revenue cutter Winona for
which much fear was entertained, Is
now known to be safe. The crew of
the cutter rescued the keeper of the
Pascagoula lighthouse and his fami-
ly during the storm.
The keeper of the Horn Island
light house, Just outside of Scranton,
lost his life. The captain of a tug
which came near the house at the
commencement of the storm urged
him to leave but he refused TO aban-
don his post, and in a short time
was drowned. The entire end of the
island on which the lighthouse was
situated is said to have been carried
away.
At Biloxi the damage has been of
minor character to buildings.
At Pass Christian no lives we're
lost and the damage was slight.
The wrecking of few houses
comprised the damage at Gulfport,
and no lives were lost there.
Five out of eight vessels at Ship
Island at the time of the storm we're
beached, and two will be total
wrecks. i
Several vessels. = the names of
which are unknown, are ashore off
Horn island, and the small islands
marking the passage between Daus
phin island and the mainland have
been destroyed. The beacon lights on
fthis part of the coast are not greatly
damaged.
It is now believed that the loss Ia
the lumber interests alone by the
storm will aggregate s10,000,000.

Cuba's Annexation Forcsbadowcd.
Washington, Oct. H. Secretary
Taft's proclamation declaring him
self military governor OF Cuba Is
regarded here as foreshadowing with
almost certainty the formal annexa-

months. High military and naval au-
thorltles express this view with re-
