THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, u - ’"Vi*-* ~ JiuM/AI, UCiuilr.il J, «*. U. S. IS TO TAKE ALL ARMS FROM THE CUBAN REBELS Funston Thinks Job Will Be an Easy One. 450 MARINES SENT TO CIENFUGOS CITY The Big Cruiser Des Moines Is Dispatched to ^ Santiago, Cuba. By MANUEL CALVO. Havana, Oct. 1.—Quietly and with out friction as yet, the new American occupation of Cuba Is proceeding. In stead of landing the naval brigade In a body, as was thought to be the Inten tion of Governor Taft, the men are be ing brought ashore In detachments as they are needed and sent swiftlyito the points of probable danger. The Tacoma has landed 100 men for guard duty at Sanctl Spirltus. The Des Moines Is at Santiago ready to meet any emergency there, and. will be quickly reinforced, while a guard of 30 men is protecting foreign property at Sagua La Grande. Nearly 2,000 Men Available. In the meantime there are nearly 2.000 men available on the big fleet of warships In the harbor, and the num ber Is constantly being added to. The battleship Kentucky Joined the Meet yesterday. The Indiana and two col liers got here today and the Prairie. Brooklyn and Texas are looked before the end of the week. With this force there is no danger, but that Secretary Taft can meet any emergency which may arise until the arrival of the United States regulars next week. There Is, 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 1.000 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 Guzman, the Santa Clara leader, makes this pos sible. It Is understood the rebels In Santa Clara and In remote districts will not be disarmed until the American troops have arrived, so that order may be maintained. 8omo Rebels May Refuse. 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 mnny of the minor leaders have no notion of doing It. Simc 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 as soon ns the liberals take office, and thus com pel the United Rtates to remain here. 8sntimsnt for Annexation. There Is no question thnt the annex ation sentiment Is growing strong, not alone among the foreigners, but among the better class of Cubans, who are not In polities. They declare that the only hope of the orderly development of the country Is In clthei formal or prac ticable annexation to the United States. Secretary Taft has requested all offl- WILL ASK COUNCIL FOR EXTRA RESERVE SQUAD OF THIRTY POLICEMEN 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 hnve all 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 as ellglbles for the civil service examination. The physical examination will be held Tuesday and the educational ex amination Wednesday. If the appli cants succeed! 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 tlon to the city. In discussing the matter Monday morning Commissioner Morris Bran don, who is heartily In favor of the 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 readl 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 proposer! would have been of great value on that night." It Is not believed any action 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 16 BEGUN BY FUN8TON. Havana, Oct. 1.—Marines to number of 450 were landed last night from the United States squadron U) the harbor and at 9 o'clock the force boarded a train and started for Clen- fuegos.

Funston, ns chnirmnn of the disarmament com mission, Is now busy with the work of disposing peacefully of the revolu tionary forces who hnve been In arms ugalnst the government. He seems to think the work will take less time than at first anticipated. Volunteers Are Disbanded.

Taft Denies Story. Mr. Taft has cabled to Senor Que- sada, the Cuban minister at Washing- killed. Relief crews were dispatched from Meridian and Rlrmlngham and expect to clear the main line today. Iti the meantime all trains are being rout ed by way of Blocton and the Mobile and Ohio. 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, but 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 my asso ciates in business, in order that the public may be 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 parks 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.

Miss Pryor’s Body Recovered. Three of the deaths occurred at Mary Esther, up Santa Rosa sound. Miss Pryor was lost there nnd two small children. The body of the former lias been recovered. She, with a number of others, was In the home of Rev, Pryor when the hurricane struck the place, tearing away a portion of the building. The young lady rushed from the building Into the water, four feet In depth. As she left the building she as struck by a piece of wall timber and perhaps badly injured, but succeed ed In grasping a piece of floating wreck nnd the last seen of her she wan be ing carried away. Her body*, terribly fallen and blacMned, was recovered •sterday by searching parties. The ;o small children were daughters of a •or family residing near Mary Esth They were left In a small cottage while the parents went out to seek boat and when they returned the home had been carried away. Heroic Struggle for Life. Frank Blltebey was lost when the ew of the Seacan left her off Fort Barrancas. The vessel was going to pieces when the men Jumped into the mountainous waves und attempted to In ashore. Blltchey was injured by being struck by a piece of wreckage and drowned. The master and other men relate a terrible tale of suffer ing und exposure. The vessel was an- hored off Fort Barrancas. She was going to pieces when the men left her. For four hours they struggled In sens, ionally grasping trees for a short rest. They finally reached Fort Mc- very stitch of clothing torn from their bodies and almost In a dying mlltion. Although the men at the post were expecting death at any mo- ent and many of them had been •owned, they gave suffering fishermen cry 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 ambla bridge there Is nothing but a mass of wreckage and debris. Giant •ean craft, small pleasure yachts, ver steamers, towboats and fishing liooners are piled together from 50 to loo yards from the bay. At Bay- len tlie wharf proper has been carried away, leasing 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 I'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 tin* fine new t'oinmandancla wharf or the Louisville nnd Nashville ruil- road are fifteen 'or twenty vessels of various classes, which are beached, sunken and in feet out of the water In plies of ballast The t’oinmandancla wharf escaped without much damage, us did the Tarr- g ma wharf of the Louisville and Nash ville railroad, but the Immense nnd costly Muscogee docks of this company are a complete wreck. This wharf wus used principally for loading lumber and timber on vessels and also us a coal dock. Shipping Interests Lose $4,000,000. After u careful review of the situa tion It Is estimated that the loss sus tained to ‘shipping and shipping In terests alone will reach ubove $4,000,- noo. The Louisville and Nashville has suffered to tin* extent of $500,000 und the navy yard ll.ooo.ooo; the forts, $500,000; the fishing Industry, $500,- oi*o, if not more; the towboats and steamers, between $200,000 and $500,- itoo; the river boats, pleasure craft and launches, $150,000, and foreign vessels, $500,000. It is possible though that the loss to the latter will far exceed the above amount, for some of them, It Is feared, will prove total wrecks, one Norwegian barn, the Cambell, was beached with shies stove In, rigging gone and Is now of little vulue, 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 Live On Rabbits. When a relief party from here reach ed Garson 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 about sixty people under a shed, scant ily clothed und badly In need of food. The men In tin* party bad killed rubbitsj since the day of the storm and on these < party bad subsisted. Fiwsl and ers of E. E. Saunders A Co.'s fleet only one Is afloat. Warren A Co.'s fleet sus tained Injuries equally as bad, only one being undnmaged. The others are on the bench and some of them are brok en up. The tugs Monarch and Mary Lee are high and dry In Pine street. Many Vestel* Aground. Among the ocean-going craft hard aground are the Norwegian ship Ingrid Norwegian bark Helmdal, Norwegian ship Avnntl, Portuguese bark Andrea. Italian bark Avon, Norwegian bark Hereford, German bark Marla, Swedish bark Neach VI, Italian mark Ollvarl, Norwegian bark Superb. The fishing smacks Lottie Hoskins and Carrie E. Chase, and the lighter Iris, crashed Into the bay shore home of Laz Jacoby, wrecking It, and the crew of the Chase were rescued from the front gallery of the residence. It Is estimated that 300 people are homeless and in want, hut 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 SUFFER8 DAMAGE FROM STORM. Special to The Georgian. Apalachicola, Fla., Oct. 1.—The worst storm known here In many years raged from Monday, until Friday night, the wind reaching high velocity and the water rising over the wharves and flooding the lower streets. The ware houses and wharves of Coombs A Griggs, Huge Brothers, Cunningham Grocery Company, Tapon's wharf, Jojin Marshall A Co., Saxon Lumber Com pany. Joseph Weslna, Electric Light and Telephone Company, John Ft and a great part of the Cypress Lum ber Company are all more or less de stroyed. Crossties for the construction of the Apalachicola Northern rutlway were washed away and thousands of sawlogs went udrlft. The fish and oyster canning facto rles, which were on the water front, were ruined and great stacks of lum her at the cypress mill nnd on the yurds of the Apalachicola Lumber Company were damaged. Apalachicola has been entirely cut off from commu nication with the outside world. TREES AND HOMES WRECKED BY STORM. Special to The Georgian. Milton. Fla., net. 1.—Milton was greatly damaged by the hurricane, the velocity of the wind at times being frightful. Trees, houses and fences were destroyed In all parts of the town.

Judge Nottingham has announced his Intention of dealing severely with this class of offenders. Coffee vs. Brains A London physician commenting on the increase of “coffee drunkards” in Great Britain, says: “Coffee is a cerebral (hraiu) stimulant ranking with alcohol.” He condemns the after-dinner blaek coffee (vaunted by the coffee defenders as “harmless”), say ing it is responsible for many cases of insomnia. The poisonous drug in tea and coffee is very much Like Whisky or Brandy It overworks the Heart and Brain and, whether im mediately realized or not, is followed by a depressing, weakening reaction.
