 Island Will Receive Another Chance.
 New Administration to Cooperate
 With Moderates and Liberals In
 Holding Elections.
 Washington. Oct. 3.-Charles F.. Ma goon, who has just retired us minister to Panama and governor of the canal zone, was appointed provisional gov ernor of Cuba in place of Secretary Taft. He will start at once for Ha- vana.
 This announcement was made after a meeting of the president and cabinet held to consider the situation in Cuba.
 After the cabinet meeting the presi- dent called in the newspaper men and announced that there was no intention of annexing Cuba, which, he said. would be given another chance. He said he was delighted with the feeling expressed by the Cuban people and hopes to see a new election which will place a stable government in power.
 Won't Stand Another Revolt.
 MT. Roosevelt made it clearly under stood, however, that the United States would not tolerate another outbreak such as the last. He said that might mean permanent intervention. but not annexation. It Is his desire that Gov ernor Magoon cooperate with the Lib erals and Moderates in holding cleo tions which will give everybody conf dence.
 According to Havana dispatches Governor Taft received great applause for striking speech In the opening exercises of the University of Havana.
 cuba's Welfare Desired.
 In his address the governor explained the attitude of the United States to- ward Cuba, making 1t plain that Presi- dent Roosevelt's sole idea was to help the Cubans toward solid prosperity and really representative government
 The sanitary situation is receiving very serious consideration at the hands of the provisional government. In ad- dition to the five cases of yellow fever here there are several suspected cases at CienfuegoS and elsewhere in Santa Clara province.
 The executive committee of the Mod crate party has issued manifesto de- claring that the American commission is to blame for the intervention. It summarizes the attitude of the party, euloGizes former President Palma. his actions and his resignation, reiterates the legality of the last elections and denies all responsibility for the revolu- ton and results thereof.
 Cruiser at Santiago.
 The arrival at Santiago of the Amer ican cruiser Des MoineS relieved a se- rious situation. Fully 4.000 armed rev olutionists were encircling the city within three miles. They were undis- ciplined. badly organized, without shel- ter and hungry.
 The first landing of any considerable number of Americans in Cuba since Secretary Taft by proclamation estab- lished a provisional government of the island, with himself as governor, took place when 1000 marines came ashore from the squadron in the harbor. Some of them have been sent to towns near Havana to check possible disorder.
 It is believed that all the revolution ists in the vicinity of Havana will have been peacefully dispersed in three days.
 Arranging For Disarmament.
 The work of disposing peacefully of the revolutionary forces is already un- der way. Brigadier General Frederick Funston, chairman of the disarmament commission. had two amicable confer ences with Generals Pino Guerra and Del Castillo and arranged a programme perfectly satisfactory to all concerned.
 EX-President Palma left the capital so quietly that the public did not real ize he had gone until the news was given in the papers. Only his cabinet ministers and a few intimate friends accompanied the ex-president and his family to the railroad station. The Palmas are to remain for q time at least at their plantation near Bayamo Santiago province.
 Senor Palma received all his visitors with quiet dignity and seemed entirely reconciled to going, although he still appears dejected at the outcome of the revolution and the action of the Ameri- can commissioners in taking over the government of Cuba when the two con- tending parties. the Moderates and the Liberals. failed to agree in the session of congress called by him.
