HAVANA: With far less ostenta-
tion htan accompanies the acceKsion
of a new municipal administration,
the government of Cuba was formally
taken over Saturday noon by William
H. Taft, secretary of war of the United
States, who in a proclamation couched
in a kindly and diplomatic tone, In-
dicative of the policy he would pursue,
declared himself provisional governor
of the island.
In regard to President Pal ma's mes-
sage to congress, In which he wrong-
ly Interpreted the mission of the
American mediators, Governor Taft
spoke kindly to Senor Palma, to whom
he said, the people of Cuba owed an
unquestionable debt of gratitude.
President Palma's brief reply was de-
voted entirely to an expression of re j
lief for the opportunity of shifting the
burden of guiding the tempestuous re
public to the republic of a nation |
the itayment of a policy of $100,000
to Mrs. Hurdette, the widow of the
dead banker, who lived at Kufaula.
The executors also have filed sul'.
a.'ralnst the Provident Insurance com-
pany, of New York City, for a policy
of $3.'«,000 which It Is alleged that
the company has refused to pay.
The defense of the companies Is
that Hurdette may have dle<l by his
own hand. His death is wrapped In
mystery so far ax the manner of It is
concerned. He was shot by unknown
parties—so It appears—in his yard at ,
his home near Kufaulu, on the night

The fact that the government had
changed hands, from a position of ab-
solute Independence to the restraint
of a temporary protector, etc., was
received by the masses with utter in-
difference. Most of the refined and
thoughtful Cubans, while they feel a
certain sensitiveness over the loss of
the island's sovereignty, are inclined
to hope that the United States pro-
tectorate will be short.
A Cuban reurning to Havana after
s brief absence would not have rec-
ognized from the general attitude of
the people that the form of govern-
ment. had been changed. Business
continued the same, except for the
vlgCr exhibited by the wholesale mer-
chants, manufacturers and railroads to
regain their former trade throughout
the Island, which has been at a stand- 1
still since the beginning of the revolu- j
tlon six weeks ago.

the convention and recommended by
the senatorial committee, will work a
hardship on some territorial people
who would purchase the lands lu large
quantities, but no exceptions are to
be made.
The mass convention will recom-
mend that the segregated land be di-
vided into tracts of from ten to 160 |
acres so that the smallest truck
garden man will have the same show
as the man who wishes to buy a
quarter section for homestead and
farm purposes.
The reason for this step is that the
southern part of the territory wants
farmers. Three farmers on a quarter
section cach are of more value than
one hundred men squatting on thous-
ands of acres of property. When
these lands are thrown open, as they
will be in a very short while, there
will be one of the largest scrambles
to secure good claims that the west

tion. It will be several days before
any of the patents can be completed.
As fast as they are made and recorded
the patents will be forwarded to the
allottees, of whom there are 2,757.
The patents will have to be signed
by Gov. John F. Brown, of the Semi-
nole#. and forwarded to Washington
for the approval of the department of
Interior before they are recorded and
ready for delivery.
The Seminole treaty provided that
the lands of the Seminoles should be
inalienable until the delivery of the
patents. It provides that the patents
should be delivered upon the dissolu-
tion of tribal government. That date
was fixed as March 4, 1906. Tribal
government was extended by an act
of the last congress. Now the
question arises as to whether the Sem-
inoles can sell their lands when the
patents are delivered or will they have
to wait until tribal Institutions are
finally abolished.

Thunderstorms on the Water.
"On the water," said a grizzled old
bavman, 'when you see a thunder-
storm rising you want to keep an eye
on the lightning. If you see it in the
distance striking down farther and
further to the right from where you
first saw it, or further and further to
tbe left, why, that indicates that the
storm is working to the right, or to
the left, and It may pass around you.
"But If you see It all the time com-
ing down in the same place and all the
time getting brighter and brighter,
why, that Indicates that it's coming
straight toward you; and that's the
time, son, when you want to make for
home, or get In your sail and make
everything snug till the storm passe?

SAYS VOTERS MUST REGISTER.
Attorney General Insists That Law
Applies to Both Territories.
GUTHRIE: Judge Cromwell, In re-
sponse to a request from J. L. Hamon
chairman of the Republican central
r-omrolttee, Saturday handed down an
opinion on the registration question
In which he holds that registration Is
necessary In both territories and that
a voter must have resided in a pre-
cinct for 30 days prior to the election.
He held It obligatory to register In
cities of the first class In Indian Ter-
ritory and recommends that registra-
tion books also be opened In second
class cities In that territory, as they
come within the population limit pre-
scribed for first class cities by the Ok-
lahoma statute, which is a minimum
of 2,500. He holds lhat there is noth-
lng tn the enabling act which applies
to this point, and hence no conflict.
Hindu Moon Lore.
The full eclipse of the moon was ob-
served in Singapore on the nUht of
August 4. According to the Hindus
this eclipse is the contact between
the moon and another planet called
Kahoo, but the masses believe that
owir\g to the will of God, Rahoo, or the
serpentlike planet, catches hold of the
moon by its hideous mouth and re
leases It after a short time.
At the first contact the Hindus
bathe principally in the sea and anxi-
ously await the release. After the
contact they take another bath. Dur-
ing the Interval they are not allowed
even to drink a cup of water, as their
belief is that all thlngB in the world
get polluted during the contact.—Sing

When tho doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffec
and using Postum, he can refer with
i full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
' for many of his patients because he
I wus benefited by it. Ho says:
"I wish to udd my testimony In re-
gard to that excellent preparation—
Postum. i have had functional or
uervous heart trouble for over 15
years, and part of the time was unable
to attend to my business.
"I was a moderate user of coffee and
did not think drinking it hurt me. But
on stopping It and using Postum In-
stead, my heart hus got all right, and
i ascribe It to tho change from coffee
to Postum.
"I am prescribing it now in cases of
sickness, especially when coffee doe^
not agree, or affects the he^rt, nerve*
or stomach.
"When made right It has a much
better flavor than coffee, and is a vital
sustainer of the system. 1 shall con-
tinue to recommend It to our people,
and I have my own case to refer to."
