and the American provisional govern
ment is now taking over the govern
ment The proclamation vas printed

Following is the text OF Secretary
Taft's proclamation:
The failure of Congress to act on
the irrev Jcable resignation of the
President OF the republic of Cuba, or
to elect a successor leaves this coun-
try without government at time
when grea, disorder prevails and re-
quires that. pursuant to request OF
President Palma the necessary steps
be taken in the name Of and by the
auNhority of the President of the
United States. to restore order and
protect life and property in the island
of Cuba, and in the islani5 and keys
adjacent thereto. and for this
purpose to establish herein a
provisional government. The pro-
visional government hereby es.
tablished by direction and in the
name of tie President of the United
States. will be maintained only long
enough to restore order and peace and
the republic may then hold such cleo
tions as many determine The persons
upon whom the permanent govern
ment of ths republic shall be devolved.
In SO far as is consistent with the
nature of the provisional government
established under the authority OF the
United States. this Will Je a Cuban
government. conforming as far as may
be with the constitution of Cuba. The
Cuban flag will be hoisied as usual
over all the government buildings OF
the island: all of the executive de-
partments and the provincial and mu'
nicipal governments. including that of
he city Of Havana. will continue to be
administered as under the Cuban re.
public: the courts will continue to ad.
minister Justice and all laws. not in
their nature inapplicable by reason
OF the temporary and emergent nature
of the government. will Dc in force.
President Roosevelt has been most
anxious to bring about peace under the
constitutional government of Cuba
and has made every endea .or TO avoid
the prcselr step. Longer delay. how
ever. would be dangerous. in view OF
the resignation of the Cabinet.
Until further notice the heads OF
all departments of the central govern
ment will report to me for instructions
including Gen. Alexandra Rodriguez, in
command of the rural guard. and the
other regular forces. and Gen. Carlos
Roloff. the treasurer of Cuba. Until
further notice the civil governors ant
alcaldes will also report 10 me for in
structions.
Il ask all citizens OF Cuba to assis,
in the work OF restoring order. tran
