WITHDRAWAL FROM CUBA.
Pisa For Evacuation Has Been Agreed
 IImnn.

Upon. -l
 Washington, Dec. S.--A change has takenS place in the program of the administration for the withdrawal of tho American troops from Cuba.
 Instead of the movement terminating January 2sth when the new President is to be inaugurated as heretofore ans nounced by secretary Wrlgnt, the withdrawal will be more gradual and according to the present program will run into April.
 The change in the policy of the ad- ministration was announced today af- ter the cabinet meeting. According to this program American troops will be available for service in the islands dur ing the transition from the provisional government to the regular government and for A reasonable time subsequent thereto so that if disorders arise they will be on hand for duty. This change, it is said is entirely agreeable to the Cuban authorities. who are coming in- to of5ice.
 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 Jan- uary 1st.

the Venezuelan Government, together with a number of foreign correspond ents, are here awaiting the arrival oi the President. who is expected to leave the, steamer at this port instead ol proceeding to Bordeaux. as was ms original intention.
 The situation with regard to Presi- dent Castro is somewhat anomalous, The spanish Government has not been officially advised from Caracas that the President is visiting Spain. and under the impression that he will only touch here en route to Bordeaux, has m structed the local authorities to renoer him military and civil port honors The four Venezuelan consuls now m Stautander. under instructions from Nicholas Veloz- -Goiticoa. the Charge d'Affaires at Berlin. are likewise In the dark as to Castro's plans Nice- President Gomez. to whom Castro turned over the reins of Goyernment when he left Caracas, has coiTimuni- cated to the Venezuelan representatives abroad little beyond the fact that President Castro was passenger aboard the Guadeloupe.
 Late advices received tonight, now ever, confirm the statement that Cas- tro is bound for Berlin. If 1t was his intention to continue on to Bordeaux 1t is now believed that he will change his plans when he learns from the consuls that France is arranging to ex- act an apology from him before he IS given permission to land. It Is prob able. therefore, that Castro will dis- embark here in order to avoid an un- pleasant conflict with the French au- thorities.

 Thus Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota, who Is here to attend the conservation congress, the conference of Governors and the waterways con vention. expressed in an interview re- garding his abiding faith In Democ- racy.
 T think the Democratic party is, in q better position than 1t was before the campaign opened am, of course. unable to say what caused the result to be what 1t was. Mr. Bryan was much misunderstood and was purpose ly misrepresented. There was lack of organization In the Democratic party and a unity of organization in Repub- much easier for the party in power to win"
 Governor Johnson said that he was in conversation on his way-to Wash ington with Major Mckenzie. who has charge of the engineering work on the Mississippi river, and that the latter told him in discussing the proposed Lakes to the Gulf canal, that $400. 900 q mile would construct canal twelve or fourteen feet deep and that 800 miles at that rate would be ss2o,ooo.- GOO.

 '@This statement Is intentionally m's- leading. .a , .ha canopaiRn for political reasons solely. The one thing that gave 1t It's poiiticaI value in the eyes of those who used It wsa the fact that the story as print ed carried the names of bfother or the Republican candidate for the Pres- idency and of a hrother-in-law or the preaJdent.

METHODISTS READY TO MEET Alabama Conference Be- K gins Today.
 -- FEW TRANSFERS EXPECTED Dr. Mason and Mir. Seay
 Speak. sishop Hess wn Preside at Greens bero and Already the City
 ls Filled With the
 visitors.
nv rARLETON COLLIER.

f5reensboro, Dec. s.-(SpeeiaL)-- Fraurht with unusual significance as the climax of Alabama Methodism first century of existence, the eve ot the seventy sixth session of the Ala hama Conference brings to Greensboro S,.iiv Seo atteudants. One hundred and aixty members of the conference with nearly 100 others connected in various ofiical capacities and inter ested church workers make up the body.
 Preliminary to the conference prop CT services commemorative of the cen teunial were held at the Methodist Church tonight at which pr. J M ]. Mason of Eufaula and Rev. Frank Seay, of Mobile. were the speakers the one on "Alabama Methodism" and the other Mobile Methodjsm."
 Wednesday at g o'clock Bishop Hoss, of Nashville. will formally open the conference when organization, election of conference officers and business session will take place.
 The program. for the entire week follows the usual Conference routine with sbusiness sessions during the day and evening devotional exercises.
 No organization has been effected as yet, the bulk of the Conference mem bers arriving at o'clock Tuesday morning. Even now, however, the discussion and interests center about the appointments to be read before asljournment. Three presiding elders, J. N. Mason, Eufaula; NJ. H. Holt. Montgomery, ana J. S. Frazer, Mo- bile, have served four years and.-sub- stftutfOn in each case in inevitable. Current talk, however, tends toward the supposition that few new presid- ing elders will be the outcome of the appointments but rather that substi- tufions within the present cabinet will result.
 F. M. Trawick, Greensboro; W. M. Cox, MontgomeryI c. A. Rush, Mobile, are held up as likely successors to presiding elder positions , in case changes are effected. r
 Among the ministers of the Confer ence but five have seen four years at their present station. They are: ". M. Cox, Montgomery; IT.. John son. Eufaula; B. W. Greene. GIrard; {; W. R. Bickerstaf. Louisville, and L.. Is thought, the forthcoming list will reveal fewer changes than usuaA.
 Of General public interest Is the is- sue. of the Woman's College tenta- lively located at Montgomery. which will be forthcoming during the Con- ference
 Important changes of plans are as- sufed with probably substitutions among the board and officers.
 Ministers of the Conference and lay delegates are eeing stationed for resi- dence with the Methodists of Greens sboro and the entire city is open for week to the visitors.
