Important Movement Expected to

Havana, Nov. 17.-While presumably
weli-informed persons either deny knowI-
edge Of a protectorate movement. or say
they do not attach any Importance to re-
ports Of such a scheme. others claim that
such a movement may come to light next
week
The secrecy maintained by those who
ought 10 be acquainted with the facts is
due to a fear that the radical element. in

over to the Cubans under former condi-
tions, will claim TO be in favor Of a pro-

Deny Reports of Discomfort.


Reports that the condition of affairs
in Cuba is unsatisfactory are not con-
hrmed at the War Department under
which department Of the government the
administration of Cuban affairs is con-
Quoted through provisional Gov Magcon.
Secretary Taft regards him as being fully
as well posted on conditions as any one III
the island, and he has not reported any
uneasiness.
Regarding the elections. over which
there has been much clamor, there is
little or no prospect that they will be held
before next June, the delay being for good
and sufficient reasons which were thor
oughly explained to the Cubans by Sec
retary Taft before he left the island and
turned the management of things over
10 Judge MagoOn.
In the first place, Secretary Taft in
formed the Cubans that the order for the
general elections could not issue until the
island was at peace. and there was every
assurance that they would be conducted
with perfect fairness and honesty. All the
leading Cubans of all parties appreciated
the force of this declaration. Secretary
Taft then suggested that conditions might
shape themselves 50 that the elections
could be held some time in January OF the
coming year. To this the Cubans them
selves, that is. those interested in large
plantations, and. in fact. others who have
at heart the industrial welfare Of the
island, raised objection on the ground that
the cutting season for the sugar crop be-
gins shortly after the first of the year, and
continues for four months
Gov. Magoon's reports to the War De-
partment indicate that considering the
fact tSat the island has just passed
through insurrection. with all its attend
ant excitement. affairs are shaping them
selves satisfactorily,
