TAFT TAKES CUBA!
AS PROVISIONAL GOVERNOR AND
PEACE NOW REIGNS.
His Proclamation in Official Gazette
Widely Distributed and Caused
General Satisfaction
Havana —An American provision
al government assumed possession of
Cuba when War Secretary Taft's proc
lamation declaring himself provlslon
aKgovernor of the island was formally
issued. The proclamation was pub
lished in the Official Gazette, and
thousands of the printed copies of the
document were distributed in Havana
and elsewhere.
The terms of the proclamation
caused general satisfaction.
Clear, blue skies and a fresh, cool
breeze were the weather conditions
harmonious to the general aspect ac
companying the turning over ot the
government of Cuba. The bright at
mospheric conditions after a week of
drenching rain were In consonance
with the relief everywhere manifest
over what Is regarded as the end of
strife in Cuba. Cuban government
politicians are not much in evidence
today, but even among them expres
sions of satisfaction are not uncom
mon over the fact that a government
of reliability has taken control of af
fairs. All seem Inclined to agree that
danger is past, and that the future is
much brighter. All express confidence
in the good faith of the United States
and while none venture to predict the
length of time American occupation
will continue, this class has more or
less hope that the full sovereignty of
the republic eventually will be re
stored. It Is different with the business
element. Merchants, bankers and
planters of all nationalities are en
thusiastically glad to welcome Ameri
can government.
Secretary Taft went in an automo
bile 'to the palace for the purpose ot
greeting and arranging to succeed
Senor Palma. His going was practic
ally unnoticed. No crowd gathered,
and the incident passed off quietly.
On his arrival, Taft was greeted by
Mr. Belt, the president’s secretary,
and was ushered into the president’s
private office. Formal greetings were
exchanged. Mr. Taft highly compli
mented Senor Palma on the progress
in Cuba's development under his ad
ministration and on the condition of
her finances and resources. He said
to Senor Palma that his course in re
signing was in its way a species of
heroism. Senor Palma replied simply
that he was glad that the burden of
the presidency had been lifted from
his shoulders.
Secretary Taft had expected to go
over the financial affairs of the govern
ment with Senor Palma, especially re
garding bonds and other indebtedness,
etc., but Senor Palma said Fonts y
Sterling was much better able than
incoming government. The interview
he to explain all such matters to the
accordingly termninated in friendly
fashion, and Secretary Taft and party
returned to the legation.
Secretary Taft has received a letter
signed by Jose Miguel Gomez and
other conspiracy prisoners, as follows:
“We understand that the provision
al government just established in Cuba
intends to carry out, so far as the
same may be applicable to the chang
ed conditions, the basis of settlement
which the peace commissioners recom
mended to both the Moderate and the
Liberal parties, including general am
nesty for all political offenders. The
undersigned, representing the insur
gent forces in the field, by proper
declaration hereby' agree, on behalf
of such insurgent forces, that they
will at once lay down their arms, re
turn to their homes and restore prop
erty taken by them for military pur
poses, which is now in their posses
sion. We request the appointment of
a commission by the provisional gov
ernment to meet a similar commission
appointed by us, to arrange the details
of the surrender of arms and proper
ties, after which we shr.ll return to
our homes.’’
Mr. Taft has ordered the release of
all conspiracy prisoners and appoint
ed a commission as requested in the
appointed, consists of Gen. Funston,
foregoing letter. The commission, as
(president), Gen. Menocal, Gen. Ag
ramonte and Col. Carlos Fernandez,
co represent the Cuban government,
aided by Maj. Ladd, U. S. A., and
Lieut. Mitchell, Gen. Funston's aide,
as recorder. It is understood the in
surgent commission will consist ot the
same men who served the Liberals re
cently as peace cimmissioners.
When the prisoners' were released
they went direct from the Presidio to
the American legation. They immedi
ately began a conference with Mr. Taft
regarding the details of laying down
of arms and the manner of conducting
that operation.

left Mobile at 8:30 a. m, September
29, say that the city will suffer a loss
of *5,000,000 in damage to buildings,
shipping, railroads and commercial
houses. The famous shell road is de
stroyed, and will probably not be re
built. Fifty-nine are known to have
lost their lives at points near the city,
the loss being heaviest at Coden.
Meridian, Miss. —Advices reveived
from Mobile state that the only out
let is via the Mobile and Ohio Rail

ARKANSAS
INSTATE NEWS
Good For Fort Smith.
H. L. Remmel of Little-Rock, who
accompanied Leslie M. Shaw to that
city recently from Mena, said while
there that the surveys for the project
ed line from Fort Smith to Prairie
View, a distance of 65 miles, to de
velop the large quantity of coal land
owned by the syndicate represented
by himself, George B. Rose and other
Little Rock parties, had been complet
ed, and as soon as the estimates
were made he and George B. Rose
would go to New York to make ar
rangements for the necessary money.
The road will run south of the origin
al route, because the danger from over
flow would make extensive trestle
building necessary. The accepted route,
however, would also be north of the
Arkansas Central. Work, he said,
would commence simultaneously out
of Fort Smith north, and from Prairie
View South and all of the material
for the construction would be assem
bled in Fort Smith. Mr. Remmel de
clined to either affirm or deny the
truth of the rumor that Hetty Green’s
money was to build the road, and an
swered the query with a laugh, and
said that he did not care to discuss
the identity of the Eastern capitalists
who are to finance the enterprise.
Stock Law is Valid.
In the case of the city of Ozark
against Fay Townsend, appealed by
the defendant from the mayor’s
court and tried in the Circuit Court
recently, the jury affirmed the decis
ion of the lower court and reduced
the fine assessed from *ls to *5. This
was practically a test case of the
Ozark stock ordinance. The city had
impounded some hogs belonging to
Townsend, which were found running
at large, contrary to the ordinance,
and Townsend had gone to the pound
and recovered the stock, without the
permission ot the marshal. He was
subsequently arrested and fined in
the sum of *ls. An appeal to the
Circuit Court was taken, which re
sulted as stated above.
They Seek Relief.
Arkansas lumbermen, and especial
ly maufacturers of short leaf yellow
pine in this state, are greatly interest
ed in the organization of the Southern
Lumber Operators’ Association, which
was effected at a meeting held in St.
Louis recently. A number of the
leading manufacturers of Arkansas
were present at the St. Louis meeting,
and became members of the new asso
ciation. The principal object of the
new association is said to be to devise
some method of securing relief from
the car shortage, which has prevailed
throughout the South to an unusual
extent during the past few months.
Hospital at Pine Bluff.
The contract for building the found
ation of the hospital which ’ the
Ladies’ Hospital Association will
erect in Pine Bluff has been let to the
Prather Construction Company, and
work will begin at once. An effort
will be made to get the county to ap
propriate *5,000 in consideration of
the privilege of using several wards in
the hospital, as the county has no hos
pital at present.
A Good Rule.
Two apprentice boys at the Rock
Island shops were recently seen whil
ing away the noon hour at Little Rock,
by indulging in a game of cards. As
a result one was discharged and the
other warned against future amuse
ments of this kind. The rules of the
shop positively forbid cigarette smok
ing and card playing among the em
ployes, even during the rest hour, and
it is stated that the rule will be rigid
ly enforced.
Will Buy Steamboat.
At a meeting of the Board of Trade
at Batesville recently, it was decided
to purchase a steamboat, to be run
on White river between Batesville
and Jacksonport, there to connect
with the Rock Island system. A
committee composed ot D. D. Adams,
I. N. Barnett and C. T. Rosenthal was
appointed to solicit subscriptions for
this purpose. The sum of S9OO was
subscribed at this meeting.
After the Thieves.
Jonesboro officers have recently
been very active on account of a re
port to the effect that car thieves are
operating in the vicinity of Jonesboro,
and the Cotton Belt and Frisco officials
are very busy in prosecuting a search
after the depredators. The theft of
goods from freight cars has been go
ing on for some time past, and the
officers have been keeping a strict
watch upon the brains that pass
through Jonesboro. One man has
been arrested and it is thought that
others are connected with the theft.

tion has received a request from the
Department of Education of Indian
Territory, asking for the booklet is

wood timber belonging to W. L. Con
nery of Lewisville. The tract lies

And Now the Trouble Begins.
Mrs. Andy Mace of Hot Springs has
brought suits for the recovery of the
property in Pike county upon which
the two big diamonds were recently
found by Sam Huddleston. Mrs.
Mace’s father, C. R. Kennedy, owned a
section or two of land on Hickory
creek during his lifetime, where the
important and valuable discovery was
made. After his death the administra
tor, W. T. Corley, sold all the proper
ty, so it is alleged in the petition, in
an unlawful manner, and Mrs. Mace
asks for restitution of the land to the
rightful heirs. The suits are brought
against C. T. Corley, as administrator
of her father’s estate, Sam Huddle
ston, who made the diamond discov
ery, and nearly a hundred others who
have purchased land from Adminis
trator Corley.
May Establish Union Market.
M. E. Davis, president of the District
Farmers’ Union comprising Garland,
Montgomery, Pike Saline, Clark and
Hot Spring counties, was in Hot
Springs recently looking over the
local situation relative to the market
ing of the present crop. He is more
especially concerned just now about
the beef market there. The farmers
feel that they have not always receiv
ed a fair price for beef marketed at
that place, and have plans under ad
visement to remedy their causes of
complaint. In this regard he stated
that unless the farmers were able to
secure a fair price for their native
beef they would establish a market
of their own, and thus eliminate the
middle buyers, until prices are paid
that are considered reasonable to

sion that other volumes will follow
this first one and that a complete
history will be authorized by the
state.
After Darkness, Light.

September 24 at the gospel tent in Ar
genta the electric lights went out,'
and for five minutes the evangelist,
Mike Cassidy, preached to the audi
ence in the dark. The effect of his
pleading for men to save themselves
was heightened considerably by the
darkness, through which the clear
voice of the evangelist rang out. The
crowd of about five hundred men list
ened attentively, and when the lights
flashed up again just as the evangelist
had concluded a prayer, a large num
ber responded to his invitation to ac
cept religion.
Lonke County’s Rice Crop.
Lonke county’s rice crop this seas
on promises to be the banner crop of
the series. A large crop—about 5,000
acres—was put in this year, and as
conditions have been favorable from

Bird Breding Islands.
During the last year the Audubon
Society of Louisiana has rented some
17 bird breeding islands, located in the
waters of the gulf. Last year the
islands were watched by two wardens,
whose wages were paid by the na
tional committee of Audubon societies,
and although they were not wholly
able to prevent trespassing and egg
stealing nevertheless the results at
tained were wellnigh marvellous. On
their own and the neighboring islands
of Breton reservation, owned by the
federal government, by these simple
preventive measures, there were
hatched and raised all of 40,000 birds,
composed of the following species:
Common terns, foresters, terns, royal
terns, laughing gulls, black skimmers.

A KENTUCKY WOMAN
How She Gained Fifteen Pounds In
Weight and Became Well by Taking
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
Women at forty, or thereabouts, have
their future in their own hands. There
will be a change for the better or worse,
for the better if the system is purified by
such a tonicasDr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
Mrs. D. C. Wedding, of Hartford, Ky.,
writes as follows concerning the diffl.
cutties which afflicted her:
“ I was seriously ill and was confined,
to my bed for six or eight months in all,
during two years. I had chills, fever,
rheumatism. My stomach seemed al.
ways too full, my kidneys did not act
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak and I had dizziness
or swimming in my head and nervous
troubles.
"Iwas under the treatment of several
different physicians but they all failed
to do me any good. After suffering for
two years I learned from an Arkansas
friend abont the merits of Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills and I decided that I would
try them. The very first box I took
made me feel better and when I had
taken four boxes more I was well,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when
I began, resumed my household duties,
and have since continued in the best of
health. I have recommended Dr. Wil.
Hams' Pink Pills to many people on ac>
count of what they did for me, and I feel
that I cannot praise them too strongly.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills restored Mrs.
Wedding to health because they actually
make new blood and when the blood is
in full vigor every function of the body
is restored, because the blood carries to
every organ, every muscle, every nerve,
the necessary nourishment. Any woman
who is interested in the enre of Mrs. Wed
ding will want our book, “Plain Talks to
Women,” which is free on request.
All druggists sell Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills, or they will be sent by mail post
paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box,
six boxes for *2.50, by the Dr. Williama
