the withdrawal of the American forces
from Cuba.
At the close Of the conference Sen
ators Seayas and Morua Delgado and
General Jose NJ Gomez informed the
correspondent CT the Associated Press
that Mr. Taft had declared to them
that 1t was impossible to hold elec-
tions 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 probable date for the presi.
Dental elections. simply saying that
they would follow the others.
TIE committee asked that the Mod
erata governors in the different prov.
inces and the Moderate mayors and
city councils be replaced by Liberals,
but Mr.. Taft declared that he would
leave that entirely to Governor Ma
gOon.

plea on Evelyn Thaw's story, declaring
its truth was proven by documentary
evidence. Mrs Thaw listened with
REDEEMED eyes, but she did not weep.
Mr.. Delmas quoted at length from
Thaw's letters to Mr.. Longfellow from
Paris In 1903. which, he claimed,
proved Evelyn Nesbit told Thaw her
story.
Mr. Delmas dwelt for some time
upon the testimony of Abraham Hum
MEL denouncing his story as false

half hours. In asking Justice Fitz-
gerald to adjourn he stated that he
would finish his argument in another

EXPECT TOO MUCH.

One of the greatest difficulties in tbo work of enlist;ng capital for development of a mining region IS that the average prospector expects foo much for prospect. lie may
 have goodly looking ledge, with one or more ten foot shafts and a
 title ore. There are many men who are willing to expend money in developing such a proposition, and they are looking for oppor- tnnities to invest in that way; but they will not pay for the privilege of spending money to develop the mine of another. When they meet the prospector who has good pros pects and no capital for their lm- uroyement and development, they are discouraged at the start by a demand from him for some cash, when their showing is not sufficient to determine whether the property is worth the cash demanded or not. Were the showing sufficient to justify they would pay willingly the some cash" asked and a great deal more. But the showing will not justify. But they are willing to expend money to determine whether the mine is worth doing anything with; and when that Is demonstrated they are willing to pav handsomely for the property. Where the prospector Ts wise and lets them into deal, he realizes his "some cash" within six months ar year; and afterward gets a round price for his mine. If he refuses the months and years pass along, leaving him right where he was at the beginning, when had ne any perspicacity he would siege the opportunity offered and enlist the proffered capital, which would give him his money in time anc
