Of Troops.
GOV. MAeOON'S COURSE ALI RIGHT.
Secretary of Wars Plain Talk to Com
mittee of Insurgents-Impossible to
Hold Elections Until Complete Cen
sus of Island Has Been Taken--Provin-
ciaI Elections in the Fall.

Havana Especially Secretary OF
War Taft held a conference with the
Liberals and conservative politicians
and with men representing the bust
ness interests of the island, including
large delegation of bankers. The
Secretary of War refused to fix a
date for the withdrawal of American
forces. After the conference Mr..
Taft issued this statement:
Municipal, and possibly provincial,
elections will occur after the taking
of a census. These elections deter
mining the effectiveness of the new
electoral laws, general elections for
a president, vice president and con-
gressmen, will follow. 1t all means
considerable delay. Taking of the
census will occupy at least four
months. Then one month will inter-
vene before the municipal elections,
which will bring the first elections
not earlier than the middle of Sep
TENDER. The presidential election
will follow at some indefinite future
time, probably five or six months, de-
pending on conditions.
While there has been little doubt
in the United States that the admin
istration intended to re-establish the
Cuban Republic, there has been so
much agitation there that Mr.. Taft's
open declaration of the governments
Intentions is most important. Mr..
Taft has met the demand for some
definite program, but he declined to
fix the dates for the elections. He

returning to Washington.
The representatives of the Liberal
party who met Mr.. Taft demanded
the fulfllment of the promises he
made last fall to remove the moder-
ate governors and mayor, who had
been fraudulently elected, and re-
place them with Liberals. This mat
tire Mr.. Taft turned over to Governor
Magoon. Mr.. Taft also informed the
committee that the administration
was highly satisfied with the Govern
or's conduct of Cuban affairs, and he
would be given more authority than
ever.
The Moderate leaders we're receiv-
ed, and they were followed by the
bankers. The latter argued against
changing the currency from Spanish
to American, as has been proposed.
On this point Mr., Taft made no def
mite answer.
The taking of census was pro-
posed by the advisory commission,
which consists of representatives of
all the parties and number of
American provisional officials. They
unanimously agreed to the plan,
thinking than an honest basis for
registration could not be procured
otherwise. 1t was intended to hold
the municipal elections in June, but
Mr.. Taft after consultation today,
decided otherwise. There is no
chance that the Americans will
.evacuate the island before June,
1908.
The members of Congress accom-
panying Mr.. Taft visited tobacco
plantation. Alfredo Zayas will re-
sign the presidency of the Liberal
party, but this does not mean that
he will give up the fight to obtain
the Liberal nomination for the presi-
dency of the republic.
