THE TROOPS TO STAY
Americans Will Occupy Cuba
Long After New Presi-
dent Takes Place.
POLICY HAS BEEN CHANGED

Washington, D. c.. Dec. ga
change has taken place in the pro-
gram of the administration for the
withdrawal of the American troops
from Cuba. Instead of the movement
terminating January %, when the new
president is to be inaugurated. as
heretofore announced by Secretary
Wright, the withdrawal will be more
gradual, and, according to the present
program, will run into April.
The change in the policy of the adj
ministration was announced after the
cabinet meeting. According to this
program, American troops will be
available for service in the islands
during the transition from the provis.
ional to the regular government MT and
for reasonable time subsequent
thereto, so that if disorders arise they
will be on hand for duty.
This change, it is said, is entirely
agreea able to the Cuban authorities,
who are coming into office.
One transport will be used in bring.
ing the troops back to the United
States and they will be landed at such
ports as may be most convenient for
them to reach the stations to which
they may be assigned. The first of
the troops will sail from the island
