traordinary copy OF the Gazette, the
government of Cuba was transferred

Taft jocularly remarked to the re-
porters that he had been unjustIy
characterized as the biggest man in
Cuba and he wanted them to observe
that Mr.. Magoon was bigger than he.
fact he had been posing for caricatures
of Mr.. Taft. The newspaper men of
Havana thereupon presented Mr.. Taft
with several pictures of the Cuban
capitol, including one of the American
feet as it appeared during the mo-
mentous three weeks of Messrs. Taft
and Bacon's visit and voiced their APP
probation of the franknesS and con-
sideration with which the press and
public had been treated throughout
their brief regime.
The battleships with Messrs. Taft
and Bacon and Brigadier General
Funston and their parties on board,
proceeded northward at 4 o'clock this
