In addition to this it is reported here from Guantanamo that (100 armed rebels. collected near that town, are seizing horses, cattle and provisions.

Tlio manifesto asserts that the bases presented by President Roosevelt's commissioners were practically the same a those submitted by the Liberals. In justification of their action in deserting congress tbe Moderate leaders say that intervention was then already au accomplished fact. They consider that tbe intimation of the United States commissioner that the retention of the presidency by Sen or Palma was the only possible solution made a result other than armed inter

vention impossible. The document says also that tho United States commissioners", in order to back their erroneous interpretation of the situation, sent a letter to the speaker of the house stating positively certain conditions as essential for the person eligible to the presidency. The Moderate party could not act without liberty of action, and it therefore

Taft Given an Ovation,

The arrival of Taft at the univer

sity was tho signal for enthusiastic cpplause. He entered accompanied by AssJstaut Secretary of State Pacon; Captain McCoy, his personal aide-de-camp: the United States minister,

Morgan, and .ludge Schoenrich. of Porto Hi co. and 'was conducted by Dr. Hevriel. rector of the university, and Lincoln-'' de Zayas. acting secretary of public instruction, between lines of capped and gowned university professov to the presiJ7: seat in the center of the platform. The applause continued throughout the time occupied

by the governor's . entrance, and left

nr. doubt "of the genuineness of his welcome.

Points from His Address. In his address the governor paid

many compliments to the Latin race,

declaring that there were manv things

the Anglo-Saxons could claim from the

Latins, but the old Latin custom of

putting two or three men at the head of all the branches of the state waa

played out. The people, whose money

was invested, he said, were better able to administer their own interests than

any officials, however, intelligent. In this matter the United States had 2(X)

years advantage over the Latins. Con

tinuing tbe governor said: "The United States is now able from her experi

ence to help other nations towards a successful government." This statement was greteod with applause.

obtained entrance into Chicago for the Southern Indiana and the Chicago Southern Railway companies and has

gained the assistance of eastern cap

ital, has been made, according to The Record-Herald. The Chicago Terminal

He declared that:

New York, Oct. 2. Th? United States postal commission, which is investigating the alleged violations of the law by publications which illegally enjoy the ore-cent postage rate met here. The commission is cmipcsed of United States Senators Penrose, of Pennsylvania (chairman); Clay, of Ct-orgin. and Carter, of Montana, and RepresentativesOvevstreet, of Indiana; Gardner, of New Jersey, and Moon, of Tennessee. Third Assistant Postmaster General Edward C. Madden, who represents iVstmaster General Cortelyou. read a long address to the commission, in which he cited the evils, which he said have resulted from de" fective legislation covering the classification of pound rate postal matter. Postal Deficit of $14,000,000. He said that the deficit in postal receipts last year was more than $14.OtXMXX), and that most of this is directly chargeable to publications that

have unlawfully taken advantage of the low rate when they could not fill

the requirements of the postal regula

tions. The admittance of magazines! and other publications to the low rati requires that each must have a bona

fide subscription list, and that each subscription must be paid for by tho subscriber or a friend. Letters which the postoffice authorities sent out to

persons whose names were on some alleged fraudulent lists, said Madden, brought replies to the effect that the

individual in a number of cases was receiving the magazine without paying for it.

Law Deficient in Definition. Madden said that the act does not

define what a newspaper really is. Ho produced a large number of so-calied newspapers which conformed with ev

ery requirement of the law, and yet

are so small that they weigh sixty to

the pound. In appearance they arn

simply nothing more or less thau

pamphlets, and yet on account of the incompleteness of the law they are admitted at the cent a pound rate.

LiMputian "Newspapers." To Illustrate the great abuses to

which the rate act is subjected Mad

den exhibited many publications which

he said were called newspapers. Nearly all of these were western publications. Several of them were oniy threa by two and a half inches, having six pages. He severely criticised the makeup of some of the Sunday papers. Ho declared that although books are excluded from the second class rate many stories are printed in the Sunday papers from book form in weekly cr daily instalments. Other Abuses of the Iaw. Many newspapers, Madden said, issued supplements such as calendars, encyclopedias, picture postal cards and the like, all of which are not legally provided for by the cent a pound rate. In some industrial magazines it was

shown by him that full pages samples of writing paper, wall paper and even woolen suitings are inserted, which if carried in the mails in any other way would be chargeable at 10 cents a

pound. MOBILE IS APPREHENSIVE

Taft and Bacon Still Farther Please the Cubans Thereby. Following the university exercises it became known that Governor Taft and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon had cabled for their wives to join them here, a step which cannot but be most

agreeable to the Cuban people, and which will strongly cement the bonds of affection betweeu them and tho United States provisional administration. Still another act of Governor Taft is warmly commended as illus

With a heavy rain falling that has done additional damage in the business district, and another gale predicted, and due any time within forty-eight hours Mobile is not happy. The merchants are discouraged. Some of them say that any

more elemental disturbance spells' ruin. Few of the business houses are; water-tight, and the rain that has al-j ready fallen has further flooded the goods left by the hurricane and caused j great loss.
