CUBAN NATION
BECOMES FREE
Gov. Magoon Formally Places
Government in Hands of
President Gomez.
CAPITAL IN GALA ATTIRE
Inauguration Of First President Of Re-
organized Republic Simple but I'M
pressive-American Warships
Start Tor Home.

Havana, Jan. 29-Major General
Jose Miguel Gomez was inaugurated
president of the restored Cuban re-
public yesterday at noon and within
an hour after he had taken the sol
emn oath of office, administered by
the chief justice of the supreme
court, the American officials who
lad been in control of affairs since
the autumn of 1906, had departed
from the island on battleships and
army transports.
The American provisional COVER
nor, Charles E. Magoon, who escort
ed General Gomez to the palace and
there turned over to him the reins
of government, sailed on the new
Maine.
This feature of the program was
entirely impromptu, as it had been
expected up to the last moment that
the scout cruiser Birmingham would
call for the departing executive. The
Maine was followed out of the har-
Dor by the battleship Mississippi and
the army transport Mcclellan. An
immense crowd gathered along the
sea walls to witness the spectacle
and a perfect swarm of yachts, tugs
and small boats accompanied the
vessels to the open sea, where full
speed ahead was signaled and the
gray fighting vessels and white trans
port soon left the little flotilla be-
hind with a chorus of whistles
screeching farewell salutes.

FRAUD pRACTICEn.
Farmers Have Way of Raising Tenn
pcraturC of Cattle.

Chicago. Jan. 29.-Investigation
has been begun by milk inspectors
into what are termed wholesale
frauds perpetrated by veterinary
surgeons and farmers who supply
milk to Chicago citizens. Plans are
being made to revise the system of
inspection Of COWS and a law to
change the present system will be
sought.
I'VE have Just discovered that
gross frauds are beibS practiced,'
said one of the inspectors. Under
the law every COW must undergo the
tuberculin test The dairyman has
the right to call in any veterinary
surgeon he wishes and he pays for
the test himself. If the COW proves
to have tuberculosis 1t is dead loss
TO the farmer
1--WE Lave found that in some
cases the farmer chases the cows
around a field several times to raise
the temperature just before the vet

ARE IMPROVING.
B. F.. Yoakum Likes Business Con-
ditions in Southwest.

ditions in Southwest.
New York, Jan. 29.-B. F. Yoa-
KUN, chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the st. Louis and San
Francisco, on his return today from
three weeks trip over the Frisco
lines, said that general business con-
ditions in the southwest were good,
though the Improvement had been as
great as he and many others had
expected two months ago. The pres
ent he characterized as period of
waiting, and he believed that trade
would not reach the volume of the
ante-panic days until congress got
through with tariff revision.
by good business conditions,
Mr.. Yoakum said, Il mean substan-
tial business conditions. Improve
ment in railroading and manufactur-
ing is retarded by the uncertainties
over the contemplated tariff revis-
ion. / met many manufacturers who
were delaying an increase of output
for future sale and delivery until
the question is settled. But the stu
alton in manufacturing presents the
element of substance in that there
are no surplus stocks on hand, and
plants have a fair business in sup
plying the demand from day to day.
''The farmers are as prosperous
as before the panic, and the outlook
for winter wheat is good. The lum-
ber business is the most backward
in the southwest, and this Is attri-
butabIe to the disinclination OF man
ufacturers and railroad men to un-
dertake new construction until the
tariff is settled"
Southwestern bankers, Mr.. Yoa-
KUN added, had plenty of money
and were bewailing the fact that they
have no place to put it where they
can secure good return. He
thought that in Texas and all the
other states in the southwest and
middle west, there was marked
abatement of the anti-corporat1on
agitation and a decided inclination
on the part Of the general public to
CO operate with the corporation
managers.
