TA Fl" TAKES CHARGE OF THE ISLAND AS PROVISIONAL GOVERNOR. ?. S. MASTER OF THE SITUATION. Negligence of Congress Causes Inconvenience and Large Expenditure ot Money. Troop? Being Rushed to Scone. Havana, Cuba, September SO. - An American provisional government as sumed possession of Cuba yesterday when Secretary Taft's proclamation de olaring himself provisional governor of tho island was formally issued. The forms of the proclamation caused geuerat satisfaction, especially on ac count of the moderate terms in wbioh it is phrased, its statement that the provis ional government of Cuba'is undertaken on account of the necessity of tbo 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 perciauont goveruuiuut >B established. No one appears inclined to doubt the good intentions of President Roosevelt, and his representatives, and there is no apprehension <>f any serious trouble or resistance to the provisional government in any part of Cuba. No disturbance of any kind occurred last night. The business interests here are ? ratified at tho chango of government. A striking feature of the provisional government is the faot that the Cuban flag has n?f been lowered. This estab lishes a precedent in provisional govern ment and protectorates. Governor Taft's proolamation was as follows: . To the People of Cub? : "Trie failure of Congress to act on the irrevocable resignation of the President of the Rej'Ubllc'of t'ntia or toeleota successor, leaves the oountry without a govern ment at a tlnu> when great disorder prevails and i i'<iuiiCK that, pursuant to -the request of Mr. Palma, the; necessary steps be taken In the name and by the authority of 'the President of the United States to restore ordor and protect lifo and property in the Island of Cabs, ?nd In the Islands and keys adjacent thereto and for this purpose to establish therein a provisional government The provisional government hereby estab lished will be maintained only long enough to rostore order, peace and public confidence, by direction of and In tho name of the President of the United states and then, to bold such ner ti ons as may IMJ necessary to determine on those persons upon which the permanent government of the Ropublto should devolve, in so far as ts consistent with the nature of a provisional gov ernment, established under tho authority or the United States, this will be a Cuban government, conforming with tho constitution of Cuba. The Cuban dag will Ins hoisted as usual over the government buildings of tho island; all tba executive departments and provincial and mu nicipal Koverninents will continue; all the exec utive departments administered as under the Cuban Republic; the courts will continue to ad minister justice and all the laws not in their na ture inapplicable by reason of the temporary and emorgent cbaraoter of the government, will be in force. President Roosevelt has lieen most anxious to bring about peaoe under tho constitutional gov ernment of Cuba, and be made every endeavor to avoid the present step. Longer delay, how evor, would bo dangerous in view of the resigna tion of tho cabinet. Until furthor notice the heads of all the de partments of tho central government will report io mo for Instructions, including Qen. Alexan dro Uodrigucs, in command of thc rural guards, and other regular government forces, and Qen. Carlos Roloff, Treasurer of Cuba. Until further notice the 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 public confldonce. (Signed) William H. Taft, Secretary of War of the United 8tates, Provis ional Governor of Cuba. Six Thousand Troops Ordered Sent. Washington, September 29.-The War .Depart ment to-night received from President Roose velt instructions to send 0.000 troops to Cuba im mediately. Tumps are being mobilised at New port News, Va. Troops Begin Movement on Cuba. Newport News, Va., October 1.-Preparations for handling the tumps going to Cuba are being completed here. Thc government has leased 209 ur irs of land on the river above the city as a sito for the commissary and encampment. Ware houses and ci H iel have been constructed. Orders from Washington. Washington, October 1.-The battleship Texas was ordered to proceed to Cuba from Virginia Capes, carrying marines. It has 200 on board. The transport Sumner sailed to-night from Now York for Cuba with the first detaenmont of troop?, having aboard two battalions of infantry and one battalion of engineers Secretary Taft has wired tho Navy Department that ho did not need any more battleships, but wanted more marines. - c -i.. Humphreys has secured tho British Sloan-er Marion, now at Philadelphia, having a Oh, iclty of 10,000 tons and 850 troops, as a trans port in place of tho Missouri, whlon tho United States Steel Corporation refused to releaso.

Another company of the hospital corps ls on its way from dan Francisco. Each of tho seven regiments ordered to Cuba will have 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. Sovoral field guns were also landed. The sight of so many troops passing through the city cre ated considerable Interest, but no excitement. Secretary Taft offered Palina a warship to con vey him to Mant.-.r.zas M elsewhere, but the ox Presldent courteously declined. willi Pslnti'e retirement from the palace Governor Taft moved In. Ho will establish his headquarters there in the futuro. 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 tho Cubans realise, nevertheless, that in the future they will take orders from an American governor from the palace. The annual opening of the University of Havana waa tho occasion of a groat demonstra tion of conlldenoe In the provisional govern ment, and of the high appreciation of Governor Taft and the work President Roosevelt's com missioners have undertaken. Taft made a long speech in which he renewed tho promise of his proclamation of Saturday that American occu pation should not last longer than was necessary to re-establish the Cuban Republic on a firm basis. Confidence ls being rapidly renewed and no further serions trouble ls anticipated. TO CURE A COLO IN ONE OAT Take Laxati ?.? I ?romo Quinine Tablets. Druggists refund money if it fails to onre. K. W.

Thc wind reached a velocity of 00 miles au hour. The loss of life is believed to be mainly among negroes. Muoh apprehension is felt for the suburban towns. It is foarod they have been obliterated. The suffering in Mobfre is severe. The annihilation of transportation facilities has shut off all supplies and unless help rnnchcH Mobile from the outside world soon great distress will result. Every churoh in Mobile was damaged. Numerous saw mills in the northern and marshy regions have been either washed away by the terrific waves or torn to splinters by tho wind. Their lum ber and timbers are to be seen scattered over tho city and floating down the slowly falling river. All saloons were ordered dosed imme diately after the storm.

Fla., October 1.-The vast ness of the destruction wrought by the hurricane on Thursday morning is now being realized. Twenty-five are known to have been dro? ned. searching parties are tearing away the debris strewn along the beach Tn ot der to rescue the buried bodies. Looters fol lowed in the wake of the hurricane and fifty extra policemen are on guard. Calls for charity have been issued to assist the fiour and everything bas been done to re leve the 2,000 homeless. Santa Rosa quarantine station, aoross the bay from the oity, has been demol ished.

Five were washed upon this side, after anight of terror npon the bay. Three were drowned, with two nurses. The United States naval station has been destroyed. Fort Pickens, one of the most modern forts of the country, has been badly damaged. The Fifteenth Company of Artillery deserted barracks and post with their families and sought the batteries, climb ing to tho highest point and lashing themselves to the guns and projecting pieces. Fort MoRae, on the point opposite Fort Pickens, has been wiped out almost oom plotely. The United States naval sta tion, nine m??? from the oity, bas beon greatly damaged, liven lost and naval vessels sunk. The Gloucester is in shore 200 yards. The wash stranded the Isle DeSullen.

The loss of life will be heaviest among the mariners. The wind blew 80 and 00 miles an hour. Great iron ships were rammed through houses a block from tho water front. The tides from the bay backed into the city for blooks, destroying homes and making rivers out of streets. When the gale was at its highest, and women and children were running frantio about the streets io darkness, the alarm of fire was sounded, and this added to the confu sion. The horses of the fire department refused to go out in the weather. With the tin roofs flying about them, trees and wires falling over them, the firemen took their hose wagons by hand and rushed down the streets to the scone, and, after hours of work, controlled the blaze. Only Corpses and Wreckage at Pensacola. Pensaoola, Ootober ?.--It is diffloult to give any adequate idea of the magnitude of the storm devastation here. The en tire water front is a mass of tangled wrookage. The loss of life and the damage result ing from the hurrioane whioh struok this oity Thursday morning is something ter rible to contemplate. Already the list of dead has grown to twenty-six, and it is known that many more have been lost, and others injured, while more than three thousand are homeless.

For ten milos east and west of tho oity are strewn wrecks of homes and vessels of all ciassos. Commencing at Fort Mo Rae, on a point overlooking the gulf, and continuing to K cambia bridge, east of the oity. there is nothing but devastation, ruin aud desolation. Never has suoh a ?ty. tiered probably to .(HM). Many of tho een damaged or de stroyed completely. The floating dook crushed against a stone one and was badly damaged. It is believed that the loss of lives up the sound and on .Santa Rosa island has been appalling. Many families bad sum mer homes there, and in addition there were many who resided along the shores. The waves completely enveloped all that section, and if any of the hundreds of people esoaped, it was by a miracle. Turpentine farms for a radius of 100 miles of the city are completely devas tated. Every tree that was hoxod has been blown down, and the loss in this direction alone will amouut to more than balf a million dollars. List About Mobile Still Grows.
