When American T orces Will
Be Withdrawn.
CENSUS MUST BE TAKEN.

HAVANA, April s.-The members or
the committee of insurgents with
whom Secretary Taft and Assistant
Secretary Of State Bacon made ar
rangements for peace In Cuba in Sep
&tember last, had conference with the
secretary to-day. Secretary Taft, in
spite OF the demand Of the committee,
refused to give his visitors the date Of
the withdrawal of the American forces
from Cuba.
At the close Of the conference Sena-
tors Zayas and Morua DelGado and
General Jose NJ. Gomez Informed the
correspondent Of the Associated Press
that Mr.. Taft had declared to them
that 1t was impossible to hold cleo
tons in Cuba until complete census
of the island had been taken, which
will occupy about four months. He
added that municipal and provincial
elections would probably be held some
time in September, but he would not
give any pro Aable date for the presi-
dental elections, simply saying that
they would follow the others.
The committee asked that the mode-
rate governors In the different pro-
yinces and the moderate mayors and
city councils be replaced by Liberals,
leave that entirely to Governor Ma
COON.
He added that the administration
was highly satisfied with the gov
errors conduct Of Cuban affairs, and
he would be given nore authority4than
ever.
While openly expressing satisfaction
with their interview confidentially to
friends. they express some disappoint-
ment,
The Secretary met the conservatives
this afternoon and discussed the in
sular situation. He said that owing
to economic conditions no thought a
be unwise and recommended that
such election be postponed until the
result Of the municipal and provin-
cial elections be known. The con-
sentative representatives expressed
sthir willingness to leave all to the
good Judgment of the United States.
Representatives Of all the leading banks
OF Cuba called upon Secretary Taft and
asked him to give them one or two years
notice before tho holding of national cleo
tons, claiming that unless this We're
done the effect upon the commercial con-
sdltions In the island would be disastrous.
Secretary Taft told the bankers he un-
derstood that they preferred permanent
American control In Cuba, but that this
could not be. as ''we have obligations to
the American people as we'll as to tho
Cubans and the matter must be consid-
cred in Its political as we'll as Its eco
nomical aspects"
