THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1909. u. S. IS TO TAKE ALL ARMS FROM THE CUBAN REBH.S Funston Thinks Job Will Be an Easy One. 150 MARINES SENT TO CIENFUGOS CITY The Big Cruiser Des M6ines Is Dispatched to Santiago, Cuba. WILL ASK COUNCIL FOR EXTRA RESERVE SQUAD OF THIRTY POLICEMEN By MANUEL CALVO. Havana, Oct. 1.—Quietly ami with out friction as yet, the new American occupation of Cuba la proceeding, stead of landing the naval brigade In a body, as was thought to be the Inten tion of Governor Taft, the men are he- ing brought ashore in detachments as they are needed and sent swiftly to the points of probable danger. The Tacoma has landed J00 men for guard duty at Banctl Splritus. The Dos Moines is at Santiago ready to meet unv emergency there, and will be quickly reinforced, while a guard of 30 men Is protecting foreign property at fctugua La Grande. Nearly 2,000-Men Available, In the meantime there are nearly 2,000 men available on the big fleet of .varshlps In the harbor, and the num ber is constantly being added to. The baftleMhlp Kentucky Joined the ll^et veMterday. The Indiana and two eol- iurs got here today and the Prairie, Brooklyn and Texas are looked for before the end of the week. With this force there is no danger, bu* that Secretary Taft can meet any emergency which may arise until the arrival of the United Str.tes regulars next week. There Js, as a matter of fact, no sign of disorder. Police Are Keeping Order. The police and rurales are looking after the order of the city and during the day they will have a backing of l.OftO more men, marines and blue jackets, who are to go Into camp at Camp Columbia, which will be In thor ough condition for the soldiers. The Funston commission began the work of taking over the arms of the rebels today. The arrival of Gusman, the Santa Clara*leader, makes this pos sible. It Is understood the rebels In Santa Clara and In remote dtstrrcts will not be disarmed until the American troops have arrived, so that order may^ be maintained. Some Rsbtls May Refute, There Is reason to believe that while the leaders will urge their followrs to give up their arms and go peaceably to their homes, that many of the minor 1» aiders have no notion of doing It. S »nu* of the more hot-headed of the moderates are declaring that the American troops will never be permit ted to leave'Cuba, if a liberal govern ment Is installed. They will, they say, raise the standard of revolt ns soon as the liberals take office, and thus com pel the United States to remain here. Sentiment for Annexation. There Is no question that the annex ation sentiment Is growing strong, not alone among the foreigners, but among the better class of Cubnns, who nre not In politics. They declare that the only hope of the orderly development of the country Is In cither formal or prac ticable annexation to the United States. Secretary Taft has requested all off}- Commission Wants Them for Emergen cy Duty. The board of police commissioners will appear before the city council Monday afternoon and ask for a suf ficient appropriation to add to the po lice force an extra reserve squad of 30 men to be kept on duty at the police station and answer emergency calls. The commission will also meet Mon day night at the police station and choose 40 new' policemen to serve until the end of the year, as provided by an ordinance adopted some time ago by the city council. If council acts favor ably on the request for a reserve force this will mean a total increase in the police force of 70 men. Elected Under Civil Service. The 40 new policemen will be re quired to stand a regular civil service examination. The applicants have nil signed civil service blanks, which will be turned into the commission Monday night. From the list of those appli cants, whose applications meet the re quirements of the civil service law, 40 names will be selected ns ellgibles for the civil service examination. The physical examination will be held Tuesday and the educational ex amination Wednesday. If the appli cants succeedl In passing these exam inations they will then be eligible to election on the force.* The proposed reserve force of 30 men Is an entirely new departure for the Atlanta police department, and, it Is believed, will materially Improve the police service and give greater protec tion to the city. In discussing the matter Monday morning Commissioner Morris Bran don, who Is heartily in favor of the re serve, said: Brandon on Proposed Reserve. "I am satisfied this reserve Is a ne cesslty and will materially benefit the police reserve. If we are allowed the 30 men wanted they will be divided into three watches the same as the regular force, and one watch will thus be on duty at the police station all the time. This reserve'will not do any patrol duty, but will simply be held in readi ness for any emergency. “The need of such a reserve was forcibly demonstrated on the Saturday night of the riot. If a reserve squad had been on duty at the police station It could have been gotten quickly to the scene of the trouble and suppressed It probably before there had been any serious results. As It was, the riot call had to be sounded and policemen brought Into the station from their beats In all sections of the city. All of this required considerable time, during which the mob was getting In Its dead ly work. Such a reserve as Is now- proposed would have been of great value on that night." It is not believed any action will be taken by the commission Monday night In regard to the investigation now being made by Chief Jennings Into the conduct of the police on the night of the riot. The investigation was turned over to Chief Jennings at the special meeting held last week. The chief stated Mon day he Is not yet prepared to submit a report, and, until this Is done, it Is thought no action will be taken. clals to remain In office for the present. WORK OF DISARMAMENT IS BEGUN BY FUNSTON. Havana, Oct. I.—Marines to the number of 450 were landed last night from the United States squadron In the harbor and at 9 o'clock the force boarded a train and started for Cien- fuegos. In command of Colonel Bur nett. The men are being sent to that city to produce a calming Influence on the situation. Brigadier General Fred K. Funston, as chairman of the disarmament com mission, Is now busy with the work of disposing peacefully of the revolu tionary forces who have been In arms against the government. He seems to think the work will take less time than at first anticipated. Voluntssrs Are Disbanded.

MADDOX WARNS THE PEOPLE Of FULTON COUNTY When I entered the race for County Commissioner I hoped that I might be able to avoid personal allusions to my opponents, hut since Mr. T. M. Poole has, in an article in Saturday’s Georgian, seen fit to make unjust insinuations not only against me, hut against mv asso ciates in business, in order that the public may bo fully informed rela tive to the man who makes the charges, I feel called upon to mention that Mr. Poole is the lessee of Lakewood, where beer has' been unlaw fully sold, Sundays as well as week days; that he has recently contem plated establishing a negro park in the neighborhood of Lakewood, and that among his principal supporters are leading officials of the Atlanta Brewery. I am unalterably opposed to negro farks and the illegal sale of in toxicants In any part of Fulton County; and when elected to the Coun ty Board, I pledge my unfaltering loyalty to the interests of the people first, irrespective of any private interest or business relation I may have.

Three of the deaths occurred at Mary Esther, up Santa Rosa sound. Miss Pryor was lost there and two small children. The body of the former has been ,recovered. She, with a number others, wns In the home of Rev. Pryor when the hurricane struck the place, tearing away a portion of the building. The young lady rushed ffom the building into the water, four feet In depth. As she left the building she was struck by a piece of wall timber and perhaps badly injured, but succeed ed in grasping a piece of floating wreck and the last seen of her she was be ing carried away. Her body, terribly swollen and blackened, was recovered yesterduy by searching parties.

It Is estimated that 300 people are homeless and In want, but citizens are raising a fund and It Is not now be lieved that any outside aid will be needed. During the hurricane the water rose 8 1-2 feet in the bay, inundating all the lower part of the city. APALACHICOLA 8UFFER8 DAMAGE FROM STORM. Hpeojfll to Tift* Georgian. Apalachicola, Fla., Oct. 1.—The worst storm known here in many years raged from Monday until Friday night, the wind reaching high velocity und the water rising over the wharves and flooding the lower streets. The ware houses und wharves of Coombs A Griggs, Ruge Brothers, Cunningham Grocery Company, Tapon's wharf, John Marshall & Co., Suxon Lumber Com pany, Joseph Weslna, Electric Light and Telephone Company, John Fowler und a great part of the Cypress Lum ber Company are all more or less de stroyed.

J pouf were expecting death at any mo ment and many of them bad been drowned, they gave suffering fishermen very attention possible. Destruction in City. Words can not portray to any extent the havoc which has been wrought by the hurricane. From the navy yard to Escambia bridge there is nothing but a mass of wreckage and debris. Glunt ocean craft, small pleasure yachts, iver steamers, towboats and fishing schooners are plied together from 50 to 100 yards from the bay. At Bay- Ion the wharf proper has been carried away, leaving the piling protruding through the water. On top of these piling, with the latter driven through their hulls, are 'the river steamer Cap tain Fritz and a fishing smack, both now ten feet above the water. Along l’alafox wharf, the principal business wharf of the city many vessels are wrecked. Some of these have sunk and can be raised, but others will be a complete wreck. Between this wharf and the fine new Commandancla wharf of the Louisville and Nashville rail road are fifteen or twenty vessels of various classes, which are beached, sunken and In some cases resting ten feet out of the water In piles of ballast. The Commandancla wharf escaped without much damage, as did the Tarr- gona wharf of the Louisville and Nash ville railroad, but the Immense and costly Muscogee docks of this company are a complete wreck. This wharf was used principally for loadtng lumber nn«l timber on vessels and also us a coal dock. Shipping Intsrssts Loss $4,000,000. After a careful review of the situa tion It Is estimated that the loss sus tained to shipping and shipping In terests alone will reach above |4,0ftft.- otN). The Louisville und Nashville has suffered to the extent of $500,ft0ft und the navy yard $1,000,000; the 'forts, 1500,000; the Ashing Industry, $500,- 000, If not more; the towboats and steamers, between $200,000 und $600,- 000; the river boats, pleasure craft and launches, $150,000, and foreign vessels, $500,oOO. It Is possible though that the loss to the latter will far exceed the above amount, for $ome of them, It Is feared, will prove total wrecks. One Norwegian bark, the Cambell, was beached with sides stove In, rigging gone and Is now of little value, as was also the bark Noah and dozens of oth ers, and It is probable that the loss In this division will reach $1,000,000. The estimate Is along the water front alone, and Is not taking Into consider ation the immense loss in the city and section adjacent. Refugees Livs On Rabbits. When a relief party from here reach ed Gar-son Point, where over fifty per sons were known to have been before the storm, no one was found there. But some miles further up they found nlnnit sixty people under a shed, scant ily clothed and badly in need of fool?. The men in the party hud killed rabbits since the ilay of the storm and on these he party had subsisted. Food and lothlng were procured for them and uany were brought to the city.
