TAFT TAKES CHARGE Gr THE ISLAND A8 PROVISIONAL GOVERNOR. ?. S. MASTER OF THE SITUATION. Negligence ?f Congross Cause? Inconvenience and Large Expenditure ot Money. Troops Being Rushed to Seen*. Havana, Cuba, September SO. - An American provisional government ss aumed possession of Cuba yesterday when Secretary Taft's proclamation de omiiug himself provisional governor of tho island was formally issued. The tc . ins of the proclamation caused general satisfaction, especially on ac count of the moderate terms in wbioh it is phrasod, its statement that thc provis ional government of Cuba ' is undertaken on account of the necessity of the situa tion and its promise that the provisional government will be maintained purely for the purpose of restoring peace order and public confidence until a permauont govemnu-ut is established. No one appears inolined to doubt the good lutontious of President Roosevelt and his representatives, and there is no apprehension <>f any serious trouble or resistance to the provisional government in any pun of Cuba. No disturbance of any kind occurred last night. The business interests here are gratified at the ohange of government. A Btriking feature of the provisional government is the faot that the Cuban flag has nut been lowered. This estab lishes n precedent in provisional govern ment and protectorates. Governor Taft's proclamation was as follows: To the People of Cuba : The failure of Congress to oct on the Irrevocable resignation of. the President of the RepubHo'of ('nba or to elect a successor, leaven the country without a govern ment at a time when great disorder prevails and requires that, pursuant to-the request of Mr. Palma, the' necessary steps be taken in the nama and liv the authority of "the President of the United states to restorttvorder and proteot lifo and property in tho island of Cnba and in the Islands i nd keys adjacent thereto and for this purpose to establish therein a provisional government. Tim provisional government hereby estab Hafted will be maintained only lpng enough tn restore order, peace and public Confidence, by direction of and in tho name of the President or the United States and then, to hold auch elec tions as may ne necessary to determine on those j persons up<m which the permanent government of tho Ropublio should devolve. In so far as ls consistent with tho nature of a provisional gov ernment, established under the authority of the United Mat,*, this will be a Cuban government, conforming with tho constitution or Cuba. The Cuban Hag will l>o hoisted as usual over the government buildings of the island; all the executive departments and provincial and mu nicipal <:ot*ernmenta will continue; all the exec utive departments administered as under the Cuban rfcpunllc; tho courts will continue to ad ministm'JiUtfoe and all the laws not in their na ture inapp'icable by reason of the temporary and emerge .it character of the government, will be in fore. Freslri -nt Roosevolt has been most anxious to bring shout peace under tho constitutional gov ernment of Cuba, and he made every endeavor to avoid the present step. Longer delay, how ever, would bo dangerous in view of tho resigna tion of thc chblnet. Until further notice the heads of all the de partments of tho central government will report to me foi Instructions. Including Qen. Alexan dro Rodriguez, in command of the rural guards, and ot ' er regular government forces, and Gen. Carlos Rnloff, Treasurer of Cuba. Until further notice tho civil governors and alcaldes will also report to me for instructions. I ask all citizens and residents of Cuba to as sist me in the work of restoring order, tranquil lity and publlo confidence. (Signed) William H. Taft, Secretary of War of tho United States, Provis ional Governor of Cuba. Six Thousand Troops Ordered Sont. Washington, September 29.-The War Depart ment to-night received from President Roose velt instructions to send 6.000 troops to Cuba im mediately. Troops are being mobilised at New port News, Va. Troops Begin Movement on Cuba. Newport News, Va., October 1.-Preparations for handling tho troops going to Cuba aro being completed here. The government has leased 200 acres of land on the river above the city os a site for t he commissary and encampment. Ware hon s< i, and correl havo been constructed. Orders from Washington. Washington, October t.-The battleship Texan ? - as ordered to proceed to Cuba from Virginia Capes, carrying marines. It has 200 on board. 'i o, t:?:.jport Sumner sailed to-night from Now York for Cuba with the first detachment of troops, having aboard two battalions of Infantry and one battalion of engineer? Secretary Taft has wired tho Navy Department that ho did not need any moro battleships, but wanted more marines. ? Gen. Humphreys lue secured tho Itritish steamer Marion, now at Philadelphia, having a capacity of 10,000 tons a: d 850 troops, as a trans port in place of tho M'..J on ri, whlon tho United States Steel Corporation i et tined to release. The Marion ls ordered to report immediately at New port Nows. Two complete field hospital outfit* will go to Cuba, sailing on the first transport leaving New port News. Another compony of the hospital corps is on Its way from san Francisco. Bach pf tho seven regiment? ordered to Cuba will havo a regimental hospital and full quota of medical officers. Increased Confidence at Havana. Havana, October 1.- Seven hundred and fifty marines landed from the Kentucky, Indiana and Minneapolis and proceeded by trolley to camp Columbia. There was no demonstration. Sevoral held guns were also landed. The sight of so many troops passing through tho city cre ated considerable interest, but no oxcltomont. Secretary Taft offered Palma n warship to con vey him to Mantanzas or elsewhere, hut the ex president courteously declined. ' With Palma'? retirement from the palace Governor Taf: moved in. Ho will establish bia headquarters there in the future. Taft's remo val from the American legation to the palace was made with the same lack of display that has marked all his actions since coming to Cuba. Rut the Cubans realise, nevertheless, that in tho future they will take orders from an American govornor from the palace, The annual opening of the University of Havana was the occasion of a great demonstra tion of confidence In tho provisional govern ment, and of tho high appreciation of Governor Taft and tho work l*resldont Roosevelt's com missioners have undertaken. Taft made a long apeooh in which ho renewed the promise of hla proclamation of Saturday that American occu pation should not laat longer than was necessary to re-establish the Cuban Republic on a Arm baals. Confidence ls being rapidly renewed and no further serions trouble is anticipated. TO CUBE A COLO IN UNK DAT Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablet*. Druggists refund money If lt fails to oure. K. W.

In Path of the Hurricane -Roalroads Washed Away-Volephone Line? aro Down. No Reports from Rural Districts. Mobile, Alabama, October 1,-lode-! scribable ?cenes attended the hurrioane Thursday. Whole blocks of buildings were swept away, 5,000 homes were wreoked and their inmates are wander ing through the streets breadless and roofless. The property loan is enormous while the loss of lite' is considerable. The oity was almost totally inundated. Looters ransaoked residences and mar tial law was declared Friday. The wind reaohed a velocity of 00 miles au hour. The IOBS of life is believed to bo mainly among negroes. Muoh apprehension is felt for the suburban towns. It is feared they have been obliterated. Tue suffering in MobfTe is severe. The annihilation of transportation facilities bas shut off all supplies and unless help reaches Mobile from tbe outside world soon groat distress will result. Every ohuroh in Mobile was damagod. Numerous saw mills in the northern and marshy regions have been either washed away by the terrille waves or torn to splinters by the wind. Their lum ber and timbers are to be seen scattered over the city and floating down the slowly falling river. All saloons were ordered dosed imme diately after the storm.

In portions of the cotton belt visil by the hurricane, reports say the cotton orop has been totally destroyed. Things are settling down and busi ness was partially resumed here Satur day. The city is clearing the streets of 1 the debris. Street oars, on a few lines, were started up yesterday afternoon. Tho Postal and Western Union telegraph Hues are gradually being put tn shape. Coden, Ala . and Bayou LaBatre have been wiped oft' the map, and only one house ia left Btauriing at Coden. Among tho dead are som?' of the most prominent people of the coa-r. Tue entire west, shore below Mobile is completely devastated, tidal waves bav- j ing been driven far into the interior, wrecking every hut and building in its way." Many bodies have been recovered. It j is estimated that 100 baye been killed or j drowned in Mobile and Buburba. Terrible Disaster at Pensacola. Pensacola. Fla., October 1.-The vast ness of the destruction wrought by the hurricane on Thursday morning is now being realized. Twenty-live are known to have been drow ned. .searching parties are tearing away the debris strewn along the beaoh in order to rescue the buried bodies. Looters fol lowed in the wake of the hurrioane and Hf ty extra policemen are on guard. Calls for oharity have beeu issued to assist the f>oor and everything bas been done to re leve the 2,000 homeless. Santa Rosa quarantine station, across the bay from the city, has been demol ished. There were eight seamen in the hospital there from a British steamer. The hospital building was oarried away. The eight men clung to the roof. Five were washed upon this side, after a night of terror upon the bay. Three were drowned, with two nurses. Tbe United States naval station has been destroyed. Fort Piokens, one of the most modern forts of the country, bas been badly damaged. The Fifteenth Company of Artillery deserted barracks ana post with their families and sought the batteries, climb ing to tho highest point and lashing | themselves to the guns and projecting pieces. Fort Me [fae, on tho point opposite Fort I Mckees, bas been wiped out almost com pletely. The United States naval sta tion, nine miles from the oity, has been greatly damaged, lives lost and naval vessels sunk. The Gloucester is in shore 200 yards. The wash stranded the Isle DeSullen. Tho tug Accomac is a com plote wreck. Fourteen foreign vessels are beached. Twenty-five tug boats are beached. Several sunk. The fishing loss will number at least 25 boats, while the lighter launohes, plea sure craft and others will number fully one hundred. The estimated loss of property is five ! million dollars. The loss of life will be heaviest among the msriners. The wind blew 80 and PO miles an hour. Great iron sin ps were rammed through horses a j blook from the water front. The tides from the bay backed into the oity for blocks, destroying homes and making rivers out of streets. When the gale was at its highest, and women and children were running frantic ahout thc i streets in darkness, the alarm of fire was sounded, and this added to the oonfu- ? sion. The horses of the Are department refused to go out in the weather. With the tin roofs flying about them, trees and rires falling over them, the firemen took their hose wagons by hand and rushed down the streets' to the sonne, and, after hours of work, controlled the blaze. Only Corpses and Wreckago al Pensacola. Pensacola, October 2.-It is diflloult to give any adequate idea of the magnitude of the storm devastation hero. The en tire water front is a mass of tangled wreckage. The loss of life and the damage result ing from the hurrioane which struck this oity Thursday morning is something ter ? rlble to contemplate. Already the Hst of dead has grown to twenty-six, and lt is known that many more have been lost, |and others injured, while more than three thousand are homeless. For four days resoulng parties hare ?

For ten miles east and west of tho oity aro strewn wrecks of homes and vessel? of all classes. Commencing at Fort Mc Rae, on a point overlooking the gulf, and continuing to E>cambia bridge, east of the city, there is nothing but devastation, ruin and desolation.

The ftoating dock crushed against a stone one and was ?udly damaged. vIt is believed that the loss of lives up the sound and on Santa Rosa island bas beeu appalling. Mnny families had sum mer homes there, and in addition there were many who resided along tho shores. The waves completely enveloped all that section, and if any of the hundreds of people escaped, it was by a miracle. Turpentine farms for a radius of 100 miles of the city are completely devas tated. Every tree that waa hoxod has been blown down, and the loss in this direotion alone will amount to more than half a million dollars. List About Mobile BIMI Grows. Mobile, October 2.-The loss in Mobile will reach $8,000,000 damage to property, steamboats, ocean-going vessels and to the river front. The death list bas readied so far 120, and more dead bodies are being brought here, a tug boat dumping its ghastly oargo on a broken wharf at a remote point from the business section nearly every eight hours. The greatest number of lives lost is at a place known as Sans Souci beach, a summer resort near here, where thirty-nine bodies have been re covered. The loss of life in Mobile is small, but there is no telling what the reports will bring In from interior points. As the dead are coming ashore on the South beach below here they are being buried.
