Havana, Hept. 29.—Secretary Tuft
this morning Issued his proclamation
taking charge of the Cuban govern
ment and the American provisional
^ government is now taking over the
. government. The proclamation was
1 printed in the official Gazette and
thousands of extra copies were stricken
pff and distributed.
It declares that the provisional gov
ernment It only undertaken because of
the necessities of the situation and spe
cifically declares that It is only to last
until a permanent government can be
established and order restored through
out the republic. The proclamation
Was expected and caused little excite
ment. It Ik expected that the American
naval brigade will be landed In u short
• time.
Text of Proclamation.
The following Is the text of Secre
tary Taft’s proclamation:
"The failure of congress to act on
the irrevocable resignation of the presi
dent of. the republic of Cuba, or elect
* successor leaves this country with
out a government at a time when great
disorder prevails and requires that,
pursuant to a request of President
Pnlma, the necessary steps be taken, in
the name of anti by the authority of the
• president of the United States to re
store order and protect life and prop
erty In the Island of Cuba and in the
Islands and keys adjacent thereto, and
for this purpose to establish therein a
provisional government. The provis
ional government hereby established by
direction and In the name of the presi
dent of the United States will be main
tained only long enough to res to »e or
der and peace and public confidence,
and then to hold such elections as may
be necessary to determine those per
sons upon whom the permanent gov
ernment of the republic should be de
volved.
‘ire s'* far as is consistent w ith the
nature of a provisional government es
tablished under authority of the Uni
ted States, this-will be a Cuban gov
ernment. conforming as fur as may be
with the constitution of Cuba.
Cuban Flag la to Fly.
"The Cuban Hag will be hoisted as
usual over all the government build
ings of the island: all the executive
departments and the provincial and
municipal governments, including that
of the city of Havana, will c ontinue to
be administered as under the Cuban
republic; the courts will continue V

“President Roosevelt has been
anxious to bring about pence under the
constitutional government of uuba and

"Until further notice the heads of
all departments of the central govern

enough of them to break a quorum,
decided nfter the first session of con

efforts to elect a successor to President
Palma constitutionally of no avail.
Palms Refuses to Withdrew,
The scene when Palma, in reply to a
delegation from congress, definitely re
fused to withdraw his resignation, was
moat affecting. In reply to this re
quest profered by Senor Dolz, presi
dent of the senate, to withdraw his
Palma said:
"I regret extremely that I can not
give n favorable answer when the Rep
resent a fives of Cuba come to ask me
decision in the name of our be
loved country. If it were a personal
matter, If It v ere Homethlng about my
own personal dignity, I would not hesi
tate n moment In accepting your sug
gestion, but I can not withdraw' my
resignation under (he Imposition of an
armed revolution and continue to gov
ern the country when all those elected
at the same time and on the same tick
et will have to resign.
To Issue Proclamation.
"The president of the United States
has also requester! nie to make this
sacrifice for Cuba; but J have an
swered him that every time before
when I made o sacrifice for Cuba It
gave good results, but rtow It can not,
for I foresee that the continuation of
my government and a call for new
elections will be only to re-comtnenee
the same trouble.
"You have said, Mr. President of
congress, that you pray God to Inspire
me In a decision, and I have only to
say that Cuba Is now In the hands of
God, and perhaps for her letter destiny.
Therefore, I ask you not to Insist and
to accept my decision as final."
Rebels May Move on City.
Rumors were received at the Ameri
can legation here that the rebels, see
ing that Intervention was certain and
that their Inst chance of occupying
the city was vanishing, were moving
on Havana.
A report was received that the rebels
had fired on a government force near
the Toledo plantation, south of Marl-
anno, und that they also had attacked
the electric plant at Mariana©, which
Is only seven miles from Havana city.
The governor of Santiago reported
that the reosls were organizing and

Th* oounty police are gradually
rounding up the negroes who ambushed
a party of them in South Atlanta Mon
day night and killed James Heard, one
of their number.
Saturday morning Jeste Jmkspn, one
<*f them who had been recognized and
for whom the officers had been search

und OflWr Wright went to his house
and he came to the door. Lieutenant

But It didn't take him long to change

he had been knocked to his senses and

He and Ben Stevens, another negro
arrested Saturday tnorning for par

Boats Sink at Wharves.
The river boats were sunk at their
wharves and hundreds of launches and
small boats were sent to the bottom of
the river. It Is feared that a number of
the crews have been drowned. The
business section, four blocks wide and
running the entire length of the city, is
Inundated to a depth of from 9 Inches
feet. A large number of the
houses have been razed.
The mffltla today Is guarding the
streets and preventing the business
section from being looted.
Orders Given to Shoot.
Orders have been given to shoot all
who refuse to halt when challenged.
The town of Frederick, 3 miles a way,
has been wiped off the map. A run
ner came to the city for aid, but did
not know if there had been any loss
of life at Frederick. Crichton, a sub
urb, suffered a loss of $60,000.
No Information Is obtainable as to
the condition of towns between Mobile
and the Mobile river bridge, 4 miles
distant north.
Town Praetleally Destroyed
Robertsvllle, 34 miles away, was
practically destroyed. Of the ninety-
five houses, only three stand. Total
loss $36,000.
Summcrdale, 30 miles from Bay Min-
ette, Is wholly destroyed, the loss be
Ing at least $60,000.
The new Cawthorn hotel, Just com
pleted, and the BlonvIJJe hotel were
damaged to the extent of $5,000 each.
The Winder hotel suffered $5,000
damage; fit. Andrews, $3000, and the
Southern, $3,000. The Southern Sup
ply Company estimates Its loss at $100,-
000. The Merchants' bank, First Na
tional bank and the Llenkauff Bank
ing Company were Inundated.
Provision 8upply Low.
Provisions are running low. Res
taurants feed many, but have no sup
plies on hand. Hani and eggs consti
tute the food supply. These, too, will
soon be exhausted.
Wholesale houses willingly .paid as
high as $1.50 an hour for common la
bor. Even at this figure few men,
white or black, would accept work.
The fruit trees and the fall vegetable
crop all over southern Alabama and
Mississippi are ruined. So also are
the cotton and sugar cane crops. One
Mississippi planter said today that he
would willingly accept $15 for his cot
ton crop.
Many Farms Under Water.
The Mobile county court house was
badly wrecked. The clock In Its tower
was blown away completely ind now
nothing of the clock remains.
AH along the line of the Mobile and
Ohio railroad huge trees lie flat with
limbs torn off and twisted. The streams
are all out of the bank, and for 25 miles
north of Mobile, looking to the right of
the railroad, one sees only a solid sheet
of water running- swiftly toward Mo
bile.
There are many farmers using this
Inundated section and many people may
have lost their lives.
Shell Road Ruined.
Bienville square, one of Mobile's
beautiful parks of which Mobile Is so
justly proud, presents a ruined appear
ance, Its large oaks are torn and twist
ed, many of them will hAve to be cut
down. The Bay shell road, one of the
prettiest drives In the United States, Is
washed away In many places, hut this
can be repaired in time. At the ex
tremity of Ray shell road Is a suburb
of Mobile, South Eads. This place Is well
known to traveler* all over the coun
try and famed for Its "dinners." This,
too, has been totally destroyed, only
one lonely and small house out of sev
en or eight structures remains. Bayou
la Batre, Coden. Delchnmps, Theodore,
Parkers, all In Alabama, situated along
the lines of the Mobile and Bay Shore
railroad, have suffered great damage.
The towns besides being surrounded by
extensive truck farms, are popular
summer resorts for Northern tourists,
as well as for Alabamans. The fresh
and salt water fishing Is always
abundance, and bathing a luxurj'.
First Train Out.
To the Mobile and Ohio railroad
belongs the honor of getting out the
first train, which left Mobile Friday
morning In charge of Conductor J. H
Cooper. AI1 railroads entering the city
are trying to oxcel each other and
neither expense nor labor Is limited
Wires along the road of the Mobile and
Ohio are prostrated with the exception
of one train wire which does not extend
the entire length of the road. Conduc
tor Cooper stated that he had orders for
every freight train along the line of
the Mobile and Ohio, which was the
only means at the time of conveying
orders to.the freight laden trains. Sev
eral freight trains between Mobile and
Meridian were delayed for hours bc-

and many bodies are reported along
the shore.
The property loss is estimated at
$6,000,000.
Big 8hips Driven Ashore.
Enormous loss among the shipping
It certain.
There were between 50 and 60 large
steamers and sailing craft In the har
bor when the storm broke over Pensa
cola. Today only five or six vessels
are riding at anchor; ail the others
having been cast on shore by the gale
and great waves.
The whole water front Is a mass of
wreckage. A score or more of fishing
boats have been stove In and.destroyed,
while'the three .big fish houses and
their Aharfs are wrecked.
Countless Houses Destroyed.
It Is reported that for a distance of
ten miles, every house along the shore
has been destroyed. All the business
houses on Challfaux street, from the
w’harf to the union depot, has been
unroofed, and their stock and other
contents badly damaged, if not entirely
ruined.
The electric light system of the city
has been put out of commission and
since the storm the place has been In
utter darkness.
Thieves Loot Buildings.
It Is reported that thieves have been
breaking Into houses and looting them.
All saloons have been ordered closed
and half a hundred extra police of
ficers are on duty to protect property.
Several arrests for looting have been
made, but It Is feared the authorities
can do little In the way of offering
complete protection for property.
Persons whose homes have been de
stroyed have found shelter with fam
ilies In various parts of the town,
but there are many sufferers In need
of food and a place to sleep.
8treets Full of Wreckage.
For three hours Wednesday night
the gale blew at a rate ot 50 miles an
hour. This was increased to 65 miles
an hour, then to 80 and finally to 90.
Trees were broken off at the ground
and tossed about like reeds; telephone
and telegraph poles were snapped off
short, and the wires rolled Into a tan
gled mass. Tin roofs were ripped off
buildings like so much card board, and
the lives of persons In the streets were
endangered by the missiles which the
gale tossed about.
Karly Thursday morning when the
streets were a mass of wreckage, an
alarm of fire was rung. The fire was
In the Pitt Mill, near the business sec
tlon. The horses of the fire depart
ment refused to go out in the storm, so
the firemen were compelled to drag
the hose cart to the scene of the blaze.
The fire w f as soon put under control.
Fear for Navy Yard.
It Is reported that the navy yard
near Pensacola has been greatly dam
aged, and warships there, Is feared,
have been injured. The tracks of the
terminal railway . to the navy yard
and Barancas “have been destroyed. So
have the trestles and bridges. The
tracks of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad on the Pensacola and Atlantic
division have been washed up for
30 miles. Two locomotives and the
cars which were sent to the quarantine
station were destroyed.

OUR OBJECT IN INTRODUCING
WILD RUMOR CURRENT
OF ASSAULT ON WOMAN
Home excitement was occasioned In
Atlanta Saturday morning by the ru
mor that there nad been another at
tempt at assault near Buckhead, In the
►rthern end of the county.
This rumor grew out of th© Inves
tigation by a squad of county police
men under Lieutenant Walt Cheshire,
t report that some little girls had
been attacked In a field.
It was found that there was abso
lately nothing In the scare.* Some
children had been In a field and heard
a noise In the woods. They were fright
ened, and as they ran for home one
of the boys said he saw- a negro on the
edge of the woods. It Is not thought
that there was any attempt by negroes
to do anything which might even scare
tin- . Million.

Labor, represented by W. C. Puckett,
secretary-treasurer of the Georgia Fed
eration of Labor, Saturday morning
aligned itself to fight for municipal
ownership and aid The Georgian In thi
fight it Is making for the people against
the corporations. The laborer will be
benefited; the manufacturer will
benefited; the merchant will be bene
fited. Every class of people will be
benefited except the corporations that
are taking more than is their due from
the people.
Here Is what Mr. Puckett said In
his letter, which accompanied his ap
plication for membership in the Mu
nicipal Ownership Ldague:
"The Atlanta Georgian,' City:
"Gentlemen—Enroll my name as a
member of the Municipal Ownership
League and count on me for anything
needed along that line. I am for It
first, last and all the time, and think
we should begin with the 'abattoir.'
"Why not the city build, own and
operate the abattoir Instead of furnish
ing the five acre tract of land near
the city stockade to outsiders five years
for nothing, and then a mere pittance
for the remainder of a twenty-year
lease? Get behind the committee that
meets next week. Stir them up on this
matter at once. The Georgian* can do
It, with the people behind them, which
they have. Yours truly,
(Signed) "W. C. PUCKETT."
A Thinking Man.
Mr. Puckett holds an Important post*
tlon In the world of labor. He was
not given that hono^ simply because he
was a good fellow. His merit, his.
ability, his knowledge, his determina
tion to help that class of which he is a
distinguished member, caused him to
be recognized and promoted to the of-
fle# which he holds. He has studied
the situation In the hope of being of
benefit to the people. He has arrived
at the same conclusion that ©very
thoughtful, unprejudiced man will ar
rive at—municipal ownership.
E. F. Donehoo, of 55 East Alabama
street, called at The Georgian office
Saturday morning and requested that
he be furnished with fifty application
blanks for membership In the Munici
pal Ownership League, as he knew
many citizens who wanted to Join
and he wished to supply them with the
blank. We were unable to supply the
blanks, as they have not been received
from the printers, but early next week
there will be a sufficient supply in The
Georgian office to enable every man In
the city to sign up and signify his
willingness to fight in the cause of the
people.

Rappole, a traveling salesman
with headquarters at 903 Candler build

"Gentlemen—Enclosed please find my

certainly look like business. Regard

like to suggest that demands be made
for better service, more cars, regula
tions, etc. ALSO TRAILERS FOR

"Yours truly,

The Georgian ha« time and again
called the attention of the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company of
ficials to these much-needed Improve
ments. But with their accustomed
arrogance anil disregard for the com
fort and safety of the people who are
forced to patronize a utility which ex
ists by grace ot the people, no atten
tlon has been paid to our respectful
suggestions.
Platform for Twenty Years.
"Municipal ownership has been my
platform for twenty years,” wrote Ber
nard Suttler, managing editor of The
Cotton Journal, w’ho resides at 447
rew street. "I am glad you are get
ting Into line," he continued, while S.
D. Smith, a traveling salesman of 334
Courtland street, says he has been a
municipal ownership man for twenty
years.
"No w’orklng man should oppose this
move," writes B. M. Moss, a railway
postal clerk, who resides at 179 Wind
sor street.
"All other utilities that are practica
ble," is the view that E. E. Griggs, n
linotype operator, who resides at 127
Cooper street, takes of the matter.
"Municipal ownership with honest
officials elected by the people,” Insisti:
J. J. Martin, Jr., a railway postal clerk,
who resides at 79 Spring street.
"Now for organization and action,"
proposes T. 8. Hodges, a Jobber In op
tical goods, with offices at 61ft Aus
tell building. “We would say that we
are just as anxious for action «a is
Mr. Hodges. We want the people to
speak out.
"We trust you will soon accomplish
this undertaking,” write Herman A.
Binder and Nathan F. Wolfe, mer-
hants.
At Least Some Control.
F. J. Summers, a clerk who resides
at 41)4 Capitol avenue, says:
"Also ownership—at least control—
of all public utilities which the people
forced to patronize," and then
a generous Impulse he adds that "The
Georgian Is great and growing."
"Belter make It stiYet car system

Learned in Six to Ten Weef^s.
It Seems Wonderful! It is Wonderful! But
This is An Age of Wonders.
We have demonstrated It to be a fact
and stand ready to MAKE A 8TEN
OGRAPHER (A good stenographer)
OF YOU IN HALF of the TIME it
takes in any other school not teaching
Chartier Shorthand. We show our
faith by our works. We have pro
posed and yet propose to contest SIX
WEEK8 pupils of the CHARTIER sys
tem against THREE MONTHS pupils
of a competitive school that teaches
the Graham. The challenge is still un
accepted.
If our competitors really have the
high opinion of Graham Shorthand and
the poor opinion of Chartier Short
hand set forth In a newspaper article
by them several weeks ago, there Is no
earthly reason why they should not be
willing to submit the two systems to a
test.
When they are called upon to test
the systems, not by patented phrases,
but In a manner which the general
public can understand and appreciate,
they seem suddenly to lose the power
of speech.
WOULD YOU?
It you were conducting a competing
school teaching Graham Shorthand,
would you allow such a challenge to go
unaccepted unless you had become con-
vlnced that the Graham could not com
pete with the Uhartier?
THE DIFFERENCE.
Chartier Shorthand consists of the
ALPHABET. TEN SIMPLE RULES
and 52 WORD-SIGNS. THAT'S ALL.
By devoting only a part of your time
each day to the study, putting the ma
jor part of your time on typewriting
and the practical English branches,
you should, at the end of the FIRST
MONTH. be able to take an ordinary
business letter at a speed of at least
50 WORDS per minute. It requires
from three to five months of diligent
application to reach the same speed
with Graham or Pitman Shorthand.
AND THI8 IS WHY.
The old systems contain several
hundred rules, and almost as many
exceptions, thousands of hard-to-mem-
orlze word-signs, and a vast number of
contractions. All this Is entirely ar
bitrary, laborious and bewilderfhg. But
It must be learned.
COME.
Let us reason together.
If you can learn CHARTIER SHORT
HAND In half the time and at half
the expense required to master any
other system and at the same time
make a better stenographer, do you
know any sensible reason why you
should riot do it?
YOU TAKE NO RISK.
WE GUARANTEE RESULTS, be-
cause we know beyond the faintest
shadow of a doubt that Chartier Short
hand Is atl we claim for it. The suc
cess ot our graduates who are now fill
ing positions is positive proof of the
reliability of the system.

William W. Rumberger, a book
keeper who resides at 205 A Woodward
avenue, says:
"Columbus, Ohio, gets gas for 25
cents and eight car tickets for 25 cents;
let's get near it,” which leads us to
make a few comparisons.
The city of Atlanta pays $75 per year
per arc light to light the streets of the
city. That Information Is contained In
the September issue of "Water and
Gas Review," which also gives other
and valuable Information concerning
municipality owned electric lighting
plants.
Read These Comparison*.
Chicago has a municipally owned
electric lighting plant which supplies
light to the city at a cost of $53.58 per
light per year. Detroit, Mich., has
a municipally owned plant which lights
the city at a cost of $34.99 per arc light
per year. Allegheny, Pa., has a munic
ipally owned electric lighting plant
which supplies light to the city at a
cost of $61.21 per arc light per year
Grand Rapids, Mich., secures Its light
from Its municipally owned plant for
$85.12. Nashville, Tenn., pays $40.
Wlnnepeg, Manitoba, pays $59.68 per
arc light. Little Rock, Ark., supplies
her own light for $36.54 per arc light
per year. Each arc light in Wheeling,
W. Va., costs only $52.86. Topeka,
Kans., gets along with a cost of $12.47
per arc light. Springfield, III., secures
her light for $52.36, while Taunton,
Mass., expends the Insignificant sum
of $10.90 per arc light per year. Kala
mazoo, Mich., secures light for $45.43.
Bay City, Mich., pays $51.65. James
town, N. Y., secures light for $19.42.
St. Ignace, Mich., by some plan of
which we are not familiar, pays only
$5.09 per yenr per are light.
That's Municipal Ownership.
That Is a complete list ot every mu
nicipally owned lighting plant In the
United States In cites of any size or
Importance. That will demonstrate
what municipal ownership has done
for those cities. And yet there are
people who argue against municipal
ownership.
The Georgian does not want the peo
ple to line themselves up with this
movement without being thoroughly
convinced. If an argument against
municipal ownership Is made which
cannot he refuted the Instigator of this
move, on the part of The Georgian,
will retire from the fight and allow th<
thing to settle Itself.
NO ARGUMENT CAN BE AD
VANUED.
Cut out the municipal ownership
blank printed in this issue of The
Georgian and go to work for the city
and the people.
1ST NOT CONFLICT
Question of Precedence in
Time of Trouble Is
Raised.
A mayor of a city has full authority
to apply directly to the governor for
military forces In the time of danger
without first reporting the facts to the
Judge of superior, city or county court
or the sheriff. /
Such Is the opinion rendered by
Judge Advocate General George Napier,
of the natlonnl guard of Georgia, In re-
reply to questions submitted by Waltef
A. Harris, colonel of the Second.regi
ment.
Through the office of the adjutant
general. Colonel Harris submitted the
questions of precedence in cases of
trouble, where the service of the mili
tary Is needed. Judge Advocate Na
pier holds that where a civil authority,
believing the aid of the troops Is nec
essary in any emergency, should ap
ply to another civil officer of superior
rank to himself, and request him to
order out troops, and the offical of
higher rank declining to act, the of
ficial of lower rank would have author
ity to do so.
If this official should happen to be
the mayor then the officer commanding
would be required to report to the
mayor and receive instructions from
him. Colonel Napier holds that the
law provides for speedy relief when the
peace of a community is at stake, und
does not contemplate cognizance of
any debates or contentions among civil
authorities.
