Secretary Taft declared him
self provisional governor of
Cuba.
He retained the present of
ficeholders and Judiciary of
tbe iBlnnd and the Cuban flag.
The occupation will last only
until a new government is In
stalled. Fearing a collision between
the Insurgents and the rural
guards, Secretary Taft sent
450 marines by rail from Ha
vana to Clenfuegos.
A hundred marines will be
put ashore near Sancti Splrl
tus, owing to troubles reported
there.
The Army nnd Navy Depart
ments at Washington are on a
war basis, and were open all

The Army has completed
plans for a second military ex- I
pedltion to Cuba. ! I
Cubans are discussing the '
organization of an annexation 1 I
party. j
The Insurgent forces will ! j
disband, return all stolen I I
horses and keep their personal !
arms. !
Havana (Special). Cuba U ttn-!
der American control. Tbe prophecy i
of Senator Dolz that l!s Inhabitants j
would retire as Cubans and awaken j
Americans has come true. Marines
were landed to guard the treasury j
and rural guards patrolled the
streets under orders of the American
commissioners. Every movement now
awaits the nod of approval of the
American War Secretary.
Havana (Special). Four hundred
and fifty marines were sent to Clen
fuegos Sunday night by rail as a
precaution, news having been re
ceived by Governor Taft that fight
ing was liable to occur between the
Insurgents and the rural guards and
militia. The marines will reinforce
those already there, who were landed
from the Marietta and Dixie. The
111 feeling between the Cubans at
Clenfuegos is very strong. That is
the city where the disturbances tool:
place last year.
Some excitement is reported at
Sancti Spiritus. An order has been
given to land 1 Of) marines from the
Tacoma Monday at Tunas de Zaya,
the nearest port to Sancti Spiritus.
A thousand men will be landed at

Columbia.. The forces which are now
coming will be landed at different
places on the Island.
The first landing of any consider
able number of Americans took place
Sunday night, when 4Tft marines
came ashore from the squadron in
the harbor. This force proceeded
for Clenfuegos at 9 o'clock on a spec
ial train. It was explained that this
movement was not made on account
of any actual trouble in Clenfuegos.
but for the purpose of exerting a
calming , influence on the local situ
ation, which contains some possibili
ty of a conflict by reason of the tense
feeling existing between the govern
ment volunteers and the insurgents.
The battleship Kentucky arrived.
The Indiana, with two colliers, Is
expected. The Texas, Prairie and
Brooklyn are expected in a few days.
The negotiations between the
Funston Commission and the com
mission appointed by the Insurgents
for the delivery of the rebels' arms
are progressing. General Castillo,
although he expects, the necessity for
the delivery of arms, is touchy about
some of the details. He desires the
Americans to take some measures
against the Moderates, which would
he unwise in the circumstances.
There Is po danger that General
CaBtillo will do anything to put ob
stacles In the way of peace. Pino
Ouerra and Asbert are doing their
best to facilitate matters. General
Guzman, from Santa Clara, Is ex
pected here Monday. No trouble is
feared in that province, except at
Clenfuegos. The governor of Santa
Clara, General Alaman, who is a
rabid partisau of ex-President Pal
ma, tendered his resignation . but
Governor Taft has asked him to
withdraw It. The provisional, gov
ernment considers his services nec
essary in re-establishing order.

Chicago, under sentence for embez
zlement. Ein Francisco bankers say that
up to date (100,000.000 of fire loss-
e have been actually paid by the In
surance companies. They expect to
'collect at least (15,000, 000 more.
at Washington, to withdraw his
resignation. He has also Instructed
the Cuban department of state to
cable to all the Cuban representa
tives abroad to retain their offices
until further notice.
A strong annexationists feeling Is
growing. There Is talk of organis
ing an annexationist party, which
has never been done before. Some
Moderates are taking a prominent
part 1u this movement.
The day at the palace passed quiet
ly and rather gloomily.
There are as yet no signs of Sec
retary Taft's actual occupancy of
that edifice, which Sunday was the
scene of a number of farewells to
er-Presidont Palma and his family.
The members of the diplomatic corps
and the foreign consuls called in a
body to say good-by.
The Funston commission and the
revolutionary commission have
agreed that the horses captured or
seized by the rebels might be kept,
but the Cubans raised a point about
the arms, which General Funston re
fused to concede, i tiey wish to keep
the arms, v hich are the private prop
erty of some of their men, arguing
that they bought these arms with
their own money and have always
kept them in their hou es. The arms
were used for hunting deer nnd other
purposes.
A largely attended meeting of
rebels was held Sunday at General
Ashbert'8 camp, near San Francis
co de Paula. Senor Zayas made an
appeal to the men to lay down their
arms. Juan Gualberto Gomez and
General Ashbert also spoke. They
said that in a few hours they would
all go to their homes, for now there
was no further necessity for their
services In behalf of liberty. They
declared that the new elections prom
ised by Governor Taft would be
fairly conducted.
General Funston expects to remain
in Havana in general charge of the
work of disarmament. When this is
completed he will take command of
all the United States troops in Cuba.
Itclx-l Generals Happy.
Gen. Pino Guerra, speaking Sun
day of the new situation in Ihe Is
land, said all the men of bis forces
were eminently satisfied with tbe ar
rangements. He expressed the be
lief that the s'nblllty of the govern
ment was now assured and predicted
that nver n;:4i:t would there lie n
revolution in Cuba, thanks largely
to the fnlted States government for
the hand it hnd taken in the settle
ment of the difficulty.
While many of Ms men wanted to
parade In Havana before dispersing,
their commanders regarded this as
unnecessary, and General Guerra
said there would bo no demonstra
tion that would permit of the possi
bility of a renewal of the previous ill
feeling. Asked whether his men
shared his contentment, General
Guerra said:
"The men under our commands
will obey us. Those who do not cer
tainly never were with us. The
revolution Is ended and we have
won, so we are supremely content."

Pensacola, Fla. (Special). The
worst hurricane to visit this city in
Its history raged here furiously all
Thursday night and Friday morning
nnd with a gale still blowing, the city
presents a wrecked appearance and
the damage Is estimated at (5,000,
000. The loss of life will bo heavy
among the mariners, but so far only
one body has been recovered, a man
named George Morgan, a fisherman.
Other bodies nre reported along the
shore, but have not been recovered.
Commencing at 7 o'clock, the wind
blew at fiO miles for three hours,
then increased to 65 miles. From
that time until 5 o'clock A. M.. it re
mained about SO and 90 miles an
hour. The tides from the bay backed
into the city for blocks, destroyed
homes and making rivers out of
streets.
When the gale was at Its highest,
women and children were running
frantically about the streets in dark
ness, the alarm of fire was sounded
and this added to the confusion.
The fire started in the Pitt Mill,
near the business district, and 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 scene,
and after hours of work controlled
the blaze.
War Vessels Mny lie Lost.
No communication can be had with
the navy yard, but it Is believed that
the yard has been badly damaged. A
number of warships were there.
The vessels there undergoing re
pairs were the gunboats Vixen, Ma
chine, Isla de Luzon and Gloucester,
besides several smaller craft and the
quartermaster's steamer Poe. They
were in an exposed position, and it
Is feared they may have been
beached.
Of the .'0 or 60 big steamers and
sailing vessels lying In the harbor
only 5 or fi are there now. They
have been driven ashore, and along

age of steamers, tow boats, launches
and sailing craft of all descriptions.

road are badly damaged.
Great Iron ships of 2,000 and 3,000
tons have been driven not only
ashore, but have gone through houses
a block from the water front.
Thieves Busy Amid Wreckage.
Every house along the water front
for a distance of 10 miles has been
destroyed, and the wonder is that the
loss of life is not greater.
Every business house from the
wharf, on Palafox Street, to the
Union Depot, has been unroofed,
many plate-glass windows broken,
stocks badly damaged and wires and
poles all mixed up together. There
are no electric-light, car, telegraph
or telephone service.
Added to the horror of the situa
tion Is the thieves, who are breaking
open trunks all along the beach, en
tering unoccupied houses and steal
lug everything in sight. Several ar
rests have been made, but It is im
possible to protect property under
such conditions.

Winsted, Ct. (Special) The Medal
of Honor Legion put itself on record
as opposed to the movement to take

the sole right to pass upon the cases
of applicants who have been recom

To Vote On Dispensary Law.
Raleigh, N. C. (Special) The Ra
leigh dispensary, which produces an
annual net profit of (60,000, Is to
run the gauntlet of a popular elec
tion in the near future. In a decis

A ' GREAT FEAT
111 ENGINEERING
The Pennsylvania Railroad's Tunnel
in Washington.
STATIONS AT THE OFFICE BUILDINGS.
Completion of an Important Fea
ture Connected With the Con
struction of Terminals There
Separate Bores for Trains Going
in Each Direction.
Washington, D. C. (Special). Tho
great, tunnel of the Pennsylvania
Railroad that runs under Capitol
Hill, between the Cnpltol and the
Congressional Library, was finished
Thursday. It was intended that
President Cassatt. of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, and some of the of
ficials of the company, should be
taken through the tunnel. But, ow
ing to Mr. Cassatt's Illness, the plan
was abandoned. The tunnel is about
four-fifths of a milo long, and Is
about SO feet below the surface of
the street on Capitol Hill. Of all tho
many engineering feats involved In
Ihe construction of the new terminals
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the
building of this tunnel was regnrd-
ert with most apprehension. Con
gress cheerfully gave its consent to
the building of miles of solid mason
ry walls and steel bridges over the
streets, and all the other details of
the great work, but. committees of
the House nnd Senate were in ses
sion more than a year hearing the
engineers of the Pennsylvania Rail
road and other expert testimony be
fore they were finally convinced that
a tunnel could bo built, under the
plaza between the Capitol and the
Library without endangering either
of those massive buildings.
The work was begun in December,
1903, at New Jersey Avenue and D.
Streets, Southeast. from which point to
B Street the work was done in open
rut. Here the actual tunneling 'com
menced. Four drifts, two upper and
two lower levels, just large enough for
two men to work, were pushed forward
and the timbering omplaced. As the
timber arch was formd great shovels,
operated by compressed air, dug out
the core, the material being battled
nway oi; cars.
The tunnel is known as a "twin"
tunnel, so called because it consists
of two pn.-allel tubes, separated by a
masonery wall, thus making each
tube an Individual tunnel, contain
ing a singl" track. This not only
eliminates the danger of collisions
since trains In the west tube are
southbound a:id those In the east
tube are northbound, but It will make
traveling far more comfortable Binco
the trains In each tube, going only
one way, will clear the tunnel of
the gases and the smoke by the cur
rent created by the train's motion.
The work of building the parallel
tubes was hindered by many serious
difficulties, first of which was the
presence of water and quicksand, but
by the exercise of care and engineer
ing skill, nil these difficulties were
finally surmounted and today tho
tunnel men turned .Hie tunnel over to
the track layers for their work.
The tunnel rest (2.000,000. Where
It npproaches tpe corner of B Street
and North Capitol a tunnel wffj be
bui't to a station In the subcellar of
the office building of the House of
Representatives, so that representa
tives coming from New York or other
cities on the Pennsylvania can go dl-'
rertly to their ofilces in the buildirg
from their train. A similar tunnel will
be built to the building that is now
being constructed for suites of of
fice rooms for the Senate at the other
end of the Capitol plaze.

HE WOULD KILL JEWS
Kaulbara Thinks It "I'ndeslrable"
To Stop Massacres.
Odessa (By Cable). Replying to
a deputation of municipal officials,
who complained of tho violences dally
committed by members of the League
of the Russian People against peace
ful citizens, Jews and Christiana
alike, Governor-Genera) Kaulbara raid
that the preservation of order was a
matter concerning the police, but
he personally doubted whether It wag
possible or even desirable to attempt
to suppress the exasperation of the
loyal elements against the revolu
tionary students, who were guided
exclusively by Jews. These loyal ele
ments Included the Emperor's best
sons, whom the Government esteem
ed Its most dutiful citizens.
Dismayed at these exnresslons of
the Governor-General, the municipal
officials suggested that the victims
were mostly defenseless inhabitants,
who were not concerned in the revo
lution, to which General Kaulbars re
plied that he regretted that this was
the case, but. ! must say that tho
population was thus punished for tol
erating revolutionists among them
instead of delivering them to Justice.
"I do not think there will be fresh
outbreaks," said Governor - General
Kaulbara, "but In the event of the
