UNCLE SAM WILL
GET OUT OF CUBA
Next December, Says Re-
liable Report.
CUBANS TO ELECT PRESIDENT
And a Congress During That
neutrality-suspicious. as
TO Possibilities.

Washington, May 16.-"The United
States will withdraw from Cuba before
long. In the meantime, what will the
natives do to prepare themselves for
self-government?" | asked Governor
Charles E. AIagoon the other day, to
which he replied:
president Roosevelt has announced
tina. we shall remain no later thanFeb
ruary, 1909 think we shall get away,
however, as early as December, this
year. The Cubans will elect a presi-
dent and a congress during that month,
and when the president is inaugurated
our services will come to an end. A
census of the island is now being
taken; it is really an enforced regis
tra,ion, to ascertain how many Cubans
are entitled to vote. When it is COM
pleted in the spring, elections will be
held at once TO choose officers for
the towns and cities and governors
Of the provinces.
Meanwhile we are going on with
the task of organizing a workable and
modern government. This country is
republic of states; Cuba is an i'm
practicable republic of municipalities,
and the form must be changed. The
constitution OF Cuba defines the pow
ers of the president, but the law has
been confused and sometimes ignored.
We are writing other laws clearly pre-
scribing what the president may do
and what he may not do. We are also
separating the executive department
finance from agriculture, justice
from public works, and so on. that
there may be neither jealousy mol
friction in the future. When a mat
ter arises,th law will plainly indicate
who Is to consider it. The courts, too
are in process of reformation and a
simplified and accurate system of ac-
counting is being introduced; in short
when we say farewell to Cuba that lit
public will have all the machinery
Of a sound, logical and representative
government"
"Will the new president have any
military support after the American
soldiers come homer"
Enough, | think. There are six
companies of artillery and infantry
in Havana, and the rural guard, COM
posed of 5,243 men, is stationed at 315
posts in different parts of the island. -
But will that country be safe from
yellow fever?"
Il believe so. We have combined the
agencies of sanitation and have put a
national board in charge of all mat
teIs bearing on health and cleanliness.
One-tenlh of the revenues of each mu-
nicipalily goes into the treasury of the
republic for sanitary purposes and is
spent by the nationl board itself. The
people welcomed the change of adj
ministration, because they know that
The prosperity of Cuba and themselves
largely depends upon their freedom
