PO R E ST GROVE. OREGON NEWS OF THE WEEK Havana, Oct. 10. — Charles E Ma- j goon, the newly appointed provisional governor of Cuba, arrived here this af- terncon. Coincident with his coming, Governor Taft gave ont a general decree proclaiming amnesty not only to the rebels, but to f l l persons charged with political offenses or crimes in any way connected with the revolution. The steamer Mascotte, with Mr. Ma­ goon, General J. Franklin Bell, Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Bacon, entered Havana harbor at 4 o’clock this afternoon. In the wake of the Mascotte came the bat­ tleship Texas with a detachment of 300 marines from Norfolk. A laurch carrying Mr. Taft, Assist­ ant Secretary oi State Bacon and Cap­ tains McCoy and Martin, aides to Mr. Talt, hurried out to the Mascotte.

General unston will make bis headquarters at Camp Columbia. SH E E P ON FO R E ST RESERVES W O U LD REVISE LAWS. Berlin, Oct. 9. — The effort* of Ger­ many to establish a bank in Persia are only a part of a very deep game being played now for the ultimate control of the Persian gull by the German govern­ ment. The statement that this bank will be purely commercial ia one that causes amusement in diplomatic circles in Europe, where it ia felt that the for­ eign office will have to take energetic steps to prevent the bank being estab­ lished. German influence in Teheran ia very strong aDd cautiously but surely Ger­ many is pushing its policy forward. First came the building of the German railroad to the shores of the gulf, and (he intrigue that has since been taking place to secure the shah’ s permission to make Koweit the terminus. Then only a month or two ago came the establisbmeut of a German line of steamships to trade along the gulf, a line heavily subsidized by the German government. Now comes a proposal for the estab­ lishment of the bank. There is good authority for the statement that the In ­ dian government is watching every meve very carefully, but ihe English foreign office so far has remained su­ pine. __________________ WILL IEU0NTÌ1 Sooserelt and Shonts Agree Method ol Digging Canal.
