Pensacola, Fla., Oct. 1. A con tinuance of the down pour of ram throughout Saturday, Sunday- and up to noon today adds to the dis- truss of tho recent storm. Th»* streets are flooded nnd thousands of dollars’ worth of new Roods ruined on account of defective roofs. The relief eommittcc is takniR care of those in distress. Food and clothing are heinR provided. Hun dreds are sheltered its the armory, the old hospital building and some of the public buildings. The terrible stench arising from the debris for miles along Hay- shore leads to the belief that more bodies will he found. The saloons will remain closed, until conditions improve. Unless additional damage is done, no outside help will be re quired. ' Biu-oln: to Tin- (leorgl.n. Ponsacola. Fla. Oct. 1.—There are known to be thirty dead here from the hurricane. Death and destruction are on every hand, and it I* believed that possibly ten days from now, when the debris Is all cleared away nnd reports In from outlying districts, that the death list will reach 75. The deaths reported today are: Miss Pryor, daughter of Rev. Mr. Pryor; two small children, names un known; Frank Blltchey, seaman on schooner Colt. The full extent of the terrible blow to Pensacola ami surrounding territory Is now Just being realized, ns reports reach the city from small towns and settlements nlong the bayou and on Santa Rosa Island, bringing news of disasters. Yesterday news was re ceived of four more deaths and many tales of suffering from exposure and Continued on Psgs Thrss. At the council meeting Monday aft ernoon twenty-eight oases were created In Atlanta. All of the saloons favor ably reported by the committee after Its meeting earlier In the day were granted licenses, but not until after the members of the committee had been closely questioned as to how they got at Just what saloons’ licenses should be regranted. All the licenses were granted In a block and In addition two wholesale houses were allowed to open. They will do business Mondsy evening until closing time. Revs. John E. White and George W. Mack and other leaders of the temper ance league were present, hut were not allowed to speak. A motion to suspend the rules and allow them to be heard was voted down on the excuse that they should have come before the com mittee. After their rebuff by tilt council the Rev. Mr. White said to a Georgian re porter thnt In the Interests of the league he had been trying to keep his organisation from taking any radical action, but that the action of the coun cil In refusing to allow citizens to speak would make It hard to control the rsdlcnl sentiment. Mr. Mack raid that the fact that the representatives ol the league were AERONAUTS CLING TO BIG GAG TO SAVE LIVES President Palma, Broken in Spirit, Quits Capital. AMERICAN REGIME BEGINS WITH POMP TL S. Secretary of War Makes Chief Speech at Opening of University.

The matter of Peachtree paving was referred to the street eonfmlttee. Bids for asphalt and bltulllthlc paving were received By MANUEL CALVO. Havana, Oct. 1.—Havana residents, with their keen love of pomp, had their first today of display under the military occupation of the laland by the United States. The occasion was one far removed from the recent disturbances through out the Island which made American Intervention neceasary, but the oppor tunity offered for arranging a gorgeous ceremony was not overlooked. In the opening of Havana university came the chance of the Cubans and they utilized It to the extreme. The spectacle waa one of great splendor. Taf< Makes Address. Governor Taft made the address In honor of the opening of the university. National, provincial and municipal of ficials thronged to the capital to par ticipate In the ceremony. Judges of the supreme court, officials of the lower courts, the bishop of Havana and other church dignitaries, officers of the American and Cuban forces, as well as representatives of the liberal and mod erate parties of Cuba, comprised Mr. Taft's audience. Gives Promite For Future. In his speech Governor Taft dwelt upon the recent terrible ordeal through which Cuba has passed and spoke at some length of the promise of future prosperity under a peaceful regime for the Island. The relations existing be tween the United States and Cuba were referred to and the American gov ernor renewed the promise of his pro clamation of Saturday that American occupation should not last longer than was necessary to re-establish the Cu ban republic on a firm basis. While the exercises In connection with the opening of the university were being conducted with all the pomp and glory which could be put Into them, another title scene was enacted at the palace, marking as It did the end of the first republic. Palma Quit Palae,. This was the moving out of tho palace of Prealdent Palmy, who haa oc cupied the place since his Inauguration as Cuba's first president. Palma will take his family to their old home at Matanxas. His personal effects were moved out todny and the retiring presi dent bade a sad farewell to the palace, the scene of some triumphs and of more recent failure. Priaonera Are Libsratsd. With Palma's retirement from the palace Governor Taft moved In. Ho will establish his headquarters there In the ruture. Mr. Toft's removal from the American legation to the palace was made with the same lack of dis play that has marked alt hla actions since coming to Cuba. But the Cubans ; realize nevertheless that In the future they will lake orders from an Ameri can governor from the palace. 700 Marines Landed. The battleship Indiana, accompanied by two colllere, arrived thle morning. Seven hundred marines were at once landed and hurried to Camp Columbia, where the American land forces are stationed. So far all haa been serene since the Amorlcan occupation. There haa been no need for the services of the Ameri can forces. There has been no trouble as yet and none la anticipated. No time will be lost In disarming the In surgents and getting them back to their homes and in disbanding the vol unteers sworn In to maintain the gov ernment during the rebellion. When this has been accomplished and peace Is assured Governor Taft will take his departure and a civil governor will succeed him, to remain In power until a new election can be held. U. 8. CRUISER COLUMBIA IS ORDERED TO CUBA. Portsmouth, Va., Oct. 1.—The cruiser Columbia has arrived at Newport News and Is coaling rapidly. She la undsr orders to go to sea, presumably to Cuba.
