TO 1HllD ELECTIONS IN DECEMBER
Secretary Taft Insists That Thor.
oush ssaps Mus. be Taken Be,
fore the People Are Allowed to
vote-Liberals In Hurry, But
Conservatives Are Not.
iBy Associated Press

HAVANA. April 9,--It appears to.
night that July 4, 1908, will be the
day when the control of Cuban af-
fairs is given back to the Cuban peo.
pie. The liberals are anxious that
the final elections be held In Decem-
her, 1907, and the government turned
over May 90, 1908, the anniversary of
the inauguration of the first Cuban
republic; they also want the munich
pal and provincial elections held sim
ultaneously. The Conservatives on
the other hand desire that the final
elections be held not later than next
December and that the municipal and
provincial elections be held six
months apart. In view OF this diver
enge compromise, which will result
In the turning over of the control of
the Cuban affairs on the American
holiday Is probable. 1t Is known thai
Secretary Taft insists upon n thor.
ough census. considering such step
absolutely necessary before success
full elections can be held. This un-
doubtedly will require more than four
MONTHS the estimate OF time there
fore made by the Liberals.
Consequently the municipal cleo
lions Sss fall in Octobers or. !NoyeIn-
her, but as December is the month
for harvesting the sugar crop Il is re-
cognized that elections In October or
November are impracticable as they
would probably disorganize the COM
munity at large just at time. when
the men are needed in the fields. The
wishes OF the planters therefore will
be needed and the next Cuban sugar
crop will be gathered under American
control.
Conservatives In No Hurry
That there will be no elections In
Cuba before next year was the urgent
request made by committee OF Con
servatives upon Secretary Taft at II
conference held today. The members
OF this committee among whom are
seem of the strongest men in Cuba.
argued that CuEa today was torn by
political passions and that at least
one year must pass before these can
snbside and elections be carried out
in manner creditable to both the
United States and Cuba The only
other desire regarding the date ex-
pressed by the committee was that
Cuban independence be established
before the expiration, December 10.
of the present reciprocity treaty in
order that Cuba be In position to
treat for renewal of this treaty.
The committee urged the import.
ance of holding municipal elections
first and the other elections subse-
unently. separately or together as Mr..
Taft might think best.
Secretary Taft will communicate
with President Roosevelt tonight by
telegraph and he will probably make
a public statement tomorrow. Conse-
quently great expectation prevails.
