eraI Funston to Return saturday.
HAVANA, Oct IL General Freder-
lex Funston will not continue In com
mand of the American forces in Cuba.
Governor Taft announces that General
Funston will return home on Satur-
day on the battleship Louisiana in
company with himself and Assistant
Secretary Of State Bacon and that the
affairs Of Cuba would be left in the
hands Of Governor Magoon and Cen
eral ]. Franklin Bell
In explaining this change of plans
Governor Taft said:
General Funston was summoned on
hurry call from the Pacific coast be
cause he was well acquainted with
many of the insurgent chiefs here, and
1t was thought he could aid rs, as he
did greatly, in bringing the men In
arms to an agreement General Fun
ston was put temporarily in command
of the troops in Cuba merely as con-
yenence until General Bell should ar
rive General Funston, Mr.. Bacon and
myself, with Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Ba-
con and our secretaries, are returning
to our permanent duties"
Many Cubans of the faction to which
Mendez Capote and others who organ
lied the Moderate party belong were
outspoken against General Funston, al
legng that he bad deserted them in
the war to throw off the yoke Of Spain.
