Her fear of him is still active and in

Of her life. He has impressed himself
upon her. so that his shadow is always
over her. When she hears q footstep
she thinks familiar she starts in
dread An unexpected noise makes her

which he has not been able to furnish.
When he is asked as TO the charges
made against him in the woman's story
he returns stony and suriy denials.
She is the biggest liar that ever

But the bruises on her body and face
and the face Of her child tell their story
with more eloquence and more convinc-
ing sincerity than words can supply.

LONG STAY IN CUBA

According to the Outlook
HAS TEDIOUSJOB ON HAND
Secretary Taft Says Question. of With
drawa! is One Tor Future Consid-
GRAFTON - Important Confer
ence Held in Havana.

A special from Havana says: Tie
United States, through its peace colu-
missioners, is not ready to announce
when it will withdraw from the island
Of Cuba and surrender the reins or
government to the Cubans, but this
action cannot be taken until the time
arrives when fair elections are assur-
ed. This statement was MADE Dy
Governor Taft Friday as a sort of a
valedictory address to the revolution
lists committee with which the Amer
lean commissioners dealt with in in
ducing the rebels to cease hostilities
and negotiate peace. The committee
had a conference lasting an hour
with Governor Taft, Assistant Score
tary of State Bacon and Charles E..
Magoon, who is to succeed Mr.. Taft
as provisional governor, and at its
conclusion expressed satisfaction with
the position taken by the provisional
government.
Headed by Alfredo Zayas, the COM
nittee visited Governor Taft for the
avowed purpose Of requesting him to
declare the policy Of the United States
toward Cuba and the policy of the
provisional governor concerning ap-
pointments to public Offices.
The Americans listened carefully
to all rhe representations OF the COM
mission, and then Governor Taft re-
piled pointedly that lie could not out
line the policy of the United States
more clearly than was done in his
proclamation establishing provision
IL government for the island. He add
cd that as the representative Of the
United States, he was just as anx-
ious to surrender governmental affairs
to the Cubans as the Cubans were to
regain them, but the peace commits
sioners were under the responsibility
to build I'D conditions which would
make the Cuban government stable
one.
Governor Taft would not predict
when such a satisfactory condition
would be reached, but he said the
Cubans themselves could hasten that
time if they were disposed to do so.
4 fair and honest election by the
results of which the Cuban people
were willing to abide, Secretary Taft
declared, was necessary before the
United States would feel justified in
withdrawing from the island.
Senor Zayas, Carolos Garcia and
Jose Miguel Gomez fastened to show
Governor Taft that it was not their
personal ambition to obtain public Of
fees. They declared, however, that
the interests of their party demanded
that the government should not be
continued in the form against which
they had reyclted. Assurances were
given the conn ittee by Mr.. Taft that
Mr.. Msgoon would consider COM
plants against any official, investigate
them and remove persons found un-
fit to hold positions OF responsible
ity or trust, but that capable men
with good records would be retained.
The committee informed Governor
Taft that they intended to dissolve
at once.
Friday evening a committee repre-
sented many Americans in Cuba pre-
sented Messrs. Taft and Bacon with
an address expressing appreciation
for the great services they had done
for all residents of the island.
