TAFTREGIME IS HIDED

Magoon Is Now the Provisional Governor of the Pearl of the Antilles. SECRETARY AND PARTY LEAVE Kcdaratea Sulk in Their Tents and Say No Farewell. Ex-Rebels Giro the Party a Hearty Send - Off and Follow the Squadron to Sea with Cheer. Havana, Oct. 13. Charles E. Magoon's first day as governor of Cuba passed busily, but quietly. Governor Ma goon said to the Associated Press that he was looking forward with confidence to a peaceful administration. The governor sees no reason to anticipate further sudden changes in the situation or any especially sensational A .. ft-1 W BATTLESHIP NEW JERSEY. incident; he is rather of the opinion that now governmental matters will be of the commonplace order compared to the exciting and rapid succession of developments of the past two months. Governor Magoon has announced his decision to postpone the appointment of cabinet ollicers indefinitely. As to Partisan Influence. Asked whether he was likely to permit partisan political expediency to influence cabinet or ether appointments the governor replied that such considerations might rule to some extent, since it certainly would be impolitic to appoint to high office men to whom a considerable portion of the people was opposed. Efficiently and suitability, however, would be the main considerations. Transfer Devoid of Frills. The only formality connected with the transfer of the governorship to Magoon was the issuing of a proclamation announcing the same, and the announcement in an extraordinary copy of The Gazette by Taft of the fact that "by direction and with the authority of the president of the United States I hereby lay down the office of provisional governor." which he turned over to Magoon. While waiting for the hour of noon, which ended the Taft regime. Taft iocularly remark ed to the reporters that he bad been unjustly characterized as the "biggest man in Cuba," and he wanted them to observe that Magoon was bigger than he. Magoon replied that as a matter of fact he had been posing for pictures of Taft. Moderates Sulked in Their Tents. At 4 p. m. the peace commissioners and their party, and General Funstou sailed from Havana, the commissioners going on the battleship Louisiana and General Funston on the battleship Virginia. The battleship NewJersey was another of the fleet that left Havana for the United States. The ships were followed to sea and acclaimed by many Liberal and ex-revolutionary leaders, but the former government officials showed no disposition to join in the farewell, either collec tively or individually, and no prominent Moderates appeared at the palace or the wharf to participate in the leave-taking. STORY THAT IS DISCREDITED Cuban's Don't Believe That Silveira Financed the Revolution. navana, Oct. ir. The story published in the United States that Silveira. the defaulting agent here of the Ceballos company, of New York, who has left for parts unknown with a million of his employer's money, financed the revolution Is not believed here. He was a warm friend of Jose Miguel Gomez, and this fact is believed to be at the bottom of the story. Formerly Silvelra and ex-President Palma were intimate friends, but latterly their friendship had cooled. Silyeira's friends say he believed the government would prevail in the revolution ar.d that while he may have assisted Gomez personally he had no hand in furnishing funds to the revolutionists. Statements made by members of the revolutionary committee tend to corroborate this. The last demonstration of welcome to returning ex-rebels took place here upon the arrival of General Julian Betancourt. who was Pino Guerra's chief of staff. Petancourt had been detained in Piuar del Rio collecting insurgent arms and settling other matters. A crowd of 2.000 persons met j him at the Villa Nueva station and i greeted him with roars of delight. Padre Miret, a revolutionary priest who accompanied the general, also was enthusiastically welcomed. The crowd was composed almost entirely of nej groes. With three band of music they paraded through several squares, j around Central park and down the i Prado and finally left Betancourt at j Lis home. Several ex-rebel officers of high raDk, j Ind a number of subordinate officers,

rode conspicuously in the evening on y the Prado dressed In Insurgent uni-1 forms. They received considerable at-: tention from the crowds, and in some ; instances stopped their horses and . shook hands with friends.

GR0SVEN0R A THIRD-TERMER He Would Insist Upon President Roosevelt Slaking the ICuce Again in lOOS. Columbus, O., Oct, 15. "No man in this republic is so great that he should not bow to the demands of his fellow citizens to rill any office at any time, regardless of circumstances, if the people of the country demand it. No man who ha-s been elected to the office of president has a moral right torefuse a re-election if the people demand It, and the argument here made extends tnat situation forward so long as the demand of the people continues." These are the conclusions to an arti cle written by General Charles H. Grosvenor, representative from the Eleventh district, on the subject "A Third Term for the President." Might Have Been a Horror.
