TAT 7 TAKES OVER
CUBAN REPUBLIC
Secretary of War Issues Proc

Head of Government
President Palma Expresses Relief at
Shifting the Burden of Guiding
the Tempestuous Republic,
While the Masses are
Utterly Indifferent

Havana.-With far less ostentation
than accompanies the accession of
government of Cuba was formally
taken over on Saturday by William H.
Taft, secretary of war of the United
States, who. in a proclamation cloth
ed in a kindly and diplomatic tone,
indicative of the policy he would pur-
sue, declared himself provisional
governor of the island. Promptly at
noon Governor Taft, Assistant Secre-
tary of State Bacon and Captain Nc
Cook, Governor Taft's aide-de-camp,
called officially at the palace and paid
their respects to the retiring prea-
dent. Ignoring President Palma's
message to congress on Friday, In
which he wrongly interpretated the
mission of the American mediators,
Governor Taft spoke kindly to Senior
Palma, to whom. he said, the people
of Cuba owed an unquestionable debt
of gratitude. President Palma's brief
reply was devoted entirely to an ex-
preston of relief for the opportunity
of shifting the burden of guiding the
tempestuous republic to the represen-
tatives of nation strong enough to
enforce control over it.
The fact that the government has
changed hands, from position of alb
solute independence to the restraint
of temporary protector, etc, was re-
ceived by the masses with utter indif-
ference. Most of the refined and
thoughtful Cubans, while they feel a
certain sensativeness over the loss of
the islands sovereignty, are inclined
to hope that the United States pro-
tectorate will be brief
A Cuban returning to Havana on
Saturday after brief absence would
not have recognized from the general
attitude of the people that the form Of
government had been altered. Bust
ness continued the same, except for
the vigor exhibited by the wholesale
merchants, manufacturers and rail-
roads, to regain their former trade
throughout the island, which has been
at staA&still since the beginning of
the revolution six weeks ago.

difficult to hunt than larger game.

Baseball
Managers
Officials and O1Unery WAo
Combine to "CoUer vi
Minor League Players
WiW Be Penai&sd.
Willie Keeler,s Seasa-
tiOnal Bnnt Hitting. -

The movement announced by the Ma
tional commission for the future pun
ishnient of baseball managers and own
ers who engage in the practice of Cow
ering up" players probably will meet
the approval of all the major leagues
and some OF the minors. This practice
consists of an agreement between the
managers of a minor league club and Q
major whereby the latter ostensibly
purchases certain players whom he
knows he viii not need, but whom the
minor club wants to retain. This Is
done in advance of the drafting sea-
son and exempts such players from be-
Ing drafted.
Before the following season these
players are sold back to the minor club
for the same price that was paid for
them, thereby working a hardship on
the players.
This hardship is more marked In the
case of players covered up for the
smaller clubs of the minor leagues
than in the case of Glass A. clubs, be-
cause it is necessary to secure the con-
sent of the other major league clubs
before a player can be turned back to
the minor leagues, and a player Of ma
jor league caliber is likely to be claim
ed by some other club. But when q
player in a small league Is covered
up it is}likely to prevent his being ad-
vanced to a minor league OF higher
class.
The practice Is general, but not al
ways voluntary on the part Of the ma
jor league clubs which are guilty Of
evading the law in this way. Some
times a club owner is compelled to
"cover up" players in order to secure
favorable Training grounds; sometimes
1t is done to create friendly relations
with a minor club and secure reliable
tips on good material in other clubs ot
the same league suitable for future
purchase or draft. 4
