cally decided upon by the war depart
ment. Gen. Frederick Funston proba-
bly, will be III command and his chief
lieutenants are likely to be Brigadier
Generals Thomas H. Barry and Will
liam H. Duvall. These officers have
recently completed an inspection OF
the German maneuvers in Europe and
have notified the war department that
they intend to sail for this country
Sept. 20. They have been advised
that their presence in this country at
an earlier date will be desirable. Not
withstanding the presence of Secreta-
ry Taft and Assistant Secretary Ba-
con in the Cuban capital, preparations
are going forward to meet any emer-
gency that may arise.
No News From Cuba.
No communications Of any note
from Cuba were received during the
day by Acting Secretary of State
Adee.
1t is said that it is unlikely that
either Secretary Taft or Mr.. Bacon
will communicate with the department
on matters relating to their mission.
Whatever they may have to communi.
cate will be sent direct to President
Roosevelt. Neither is information
from the diplomatic representatives
of this government in Cuba concern
ing the progress of negotiations ex-
pected at the department because
those representatives are accredited
to the Palma government, and official

Do you experience fits of depression
