 The Governor remarked to the As sociated Press that he was looking with confidence to a peaceful adminis- tration. He expressed the warmest appreciation of the work accomplished by Messrs. Taft and Bacon, both in the pacification of the island and laying the foundation for a smooth and suc- cessful system of provisional govern ment
 The Governor sees no reason to m : ticipate further sudden changes in the situation or any especially sensational incident. He is rather of the opinion that now governmental matters will be of the commonplace order compared to the exciting and rapid succession of developments of the past two months. Governor Magoon has announced his decision to postpone the appointment of cabinet ministers indefinitely. His intention Is to consider thoroughly the needs and conditions of each depart ment and this can be better accom-. plished at the outset by having the
 subordinate heads report direct to him. self By this method the Governor i believes he will be better enabled ts.
