Secretary Taft Believes United States
Can Withdraw From Island In the

Washington, Jan. 13.-As far as he
can, Secretary Of War Taft has com
mitted the United States to a promise
to withdraw completely from Cuba In
the beginning of the spring Of 1909.
This pledge is contained IN a letter
from Secretary Taft to President The
odore Roosevelt, transmitting the re
port of Governor Magoon for the past
year. After stating that the report OF
Governor Magoon shows Cuban pro
gress to have been encouraging. Sec
retary Taft says:
1T was hoped by some that the cen.
sus might be completed in September
last, but 1t is not yet completed and
probably will not before April or May
This will postpone the local election
until June and the presidential elec.
tion until December and the installa
tlon Of the new president and con.
gress and the turning over OF the Is
land to the people until about March
or April, 1909. This is In compliance
with our promise when we assumed
temporary control of Cuba and 1t now
seems to me that we ought to allow
nothing to interfere with the carrying
out of our promise"

of the graft prosecution will be deter
minted today at a conference to be
held between the former boss and Dis.
trict Attorney Langdon. If the prose.
cution grants the demand Of Ruef for
complete immunity 1t can proceed with
the trial of the other alleged bribers
with the aid of Ruef's testimony which
is said to be to the effect that he was
employed by the corporations as at
torney. If Ruef's demand is refused
1t is possible that the prosecution will
have to proceed with the remaining
cases without his testimony. II the
prosecution should decide to accept
Ruefs proposal 1t Is likely that 1t will
demand more definite testimony than
he has yet given in return for the
concession.
