By MANUEL CALVO. 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 Administer justice; and all laws, no in their nature Inapplicable by reason Ot the temporary and emergent nature Of Ihe government will b* in f« “President Roosevelt has been anxious to bring about pence under the constitutional government of uuba and has made every endeavor to avoid the present step, Longer delay, however, would be dangerous |t» view of the resignation of the cabinet.

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 ■oncentrating In the vicinity of the 1ty. A similar report was received from the governor of Matanzas. Must Pacify Whole Isle.

Saturday morning Jeste Jmkspn, one <*f them who had been recognized and for whom the officers had been search ing, was located. Lieutenant Poole und OflWr Wright went to his house and he came to the door. Lieutenant Boole asked him w hers* he had been and he replied by steplpng back and taking up :i new double-barreled shot sun fuaded with buck shot and saying he hadn’t b^en and wasn't "goln* no wbar nuthcr." __ But It didn't take him long to change nls mind. f«»r before he could shoot he had been knocked to his senses and a better second thought by Mr. Boole's billy. He and Ben Stevens, another negro arrested Saturday tnorning for par ticipation in the shooting, have been ked up at the Tower «*n the charge velocity of 90 miles an hour. 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- ause of their Inability to get orders PENSACOLA. Continued from Pago One. 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.

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. FLOOR PAINT, Lucas & Scuour’s in full line colors at the GEORGIA PAINT AND GLASS CO., 40 Peachtree. 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. Domand for Trailers. Rappole, a traveling salesman with headquarters at 903 Candler build ing. has this to say: The Atlanta Georgian. Municipal Own ership League: "Gentlemen—Enclosed please find my application to the league. Your plat form Is all to the good and the results certainly look like business. Regard ing the street railway system would like to suggest that demands be made for better service, more cars, regula tions, etc. ALSO TRAILERS FOR COMBINATION SMOKERS AND NE GRO ACCOMMODATION. "Yours truly, (Signed) "A. J. RAPPOLE." 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 as well," writes Warner L. Peck, a bookkeeper, who resides at 280 Ashby street. We Want Your Opinion. Those are some of the expressions which uccotnpanled applications for membership In the League. Here are others who joined without making any remarks. In this conectlor. we re quest that you tell us just exactly what you think ct the proposition. Do It briefly and to the point, but try and express some opinion. The additional members are W. H. Arnold, record clerk railway mall service, of 177 Ashby street; T. P. Miller, clerk In the office uf the superintendent of the railway 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. LIVING CONTRADICTION. That auch schools as the world-re- >wned Eastman College, Poughkeep sie, N. Y., Bliss Business College, Co lumbus, Ohio; Scranton Business Col lege, Scranton, Pa.; Spencer Business College, New Orleans; Elliott eBusiness College, Wheeling, W. Va.; Central Business College, Indianapolis, Ind., and over 100 others have adopted the Chartier system during the past two years is INDISPUTABLE evidence of Its superior merits and a living contra diction of anything that may be said against it by those who are barred from teaching It. REMEMBER, BAGWELL'S BUSINESS COLLEGE, 198 Peachtree street, Atlunta, Ga., has the exclusive right to teach this mar velous system of Shorthand. mall service, of 257 North Boulevard; John B. Dugan, of the railway mall service, who resides at 168 Tyler street; P. G. Harper, a leather worker, who lives at 196 East Fair street. 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.
