Oct 12 Secretary Taft today received President stark, of the Isle of Pines Association, and informed him positively that the provisional government could not consider any movement In the direction of sep aration of the Isle from Cuban sov ereignty. Mr. Taft added that the mat ter of the internal government of the Isle of Pines had been referred to Charles E- Magoon, who succeeds Mr. Taft as Provisional Governor of Cuba. In a formal statement. Mr. Taft de clared that "it is absolutely Impossi ble for the Provisional Government of Cuba to recognize for a moment that the Isle of pines is not completely un der the jurisdiction of :he Provisional Government as part of the Republic of Cuba." The statement further says: While the fact that the majority of the residents of the Isle of Pines are Ameri cans may call for xceptional provisions re specting provincial governments, any of the three bases mentioned In the Isle of Pines Association's communication. Involving the separation of the isle, is wholly inadmissi ble, as It would be a violation of the tacred trust Imposed upon the Provisional Government to preserve the Interests of Cuba intact during the Incumbency of that government. Mr. Taft has ordered 135 marines to the Isle of Pines, explaining that he does not anticipate any trouble there, but that the marines are sent to promote a feelinit of security.

The prosecution today rested its case against Dr. Frank Brouwer. charged with having poisoned his wife, and the defense began the presentation of testimony on behalf of the accused physician. The line of de fense mapped out by the counsel for Dr. Brouwer in their opening remarks will be that the woman died from ptomaine poi soning in food Bhe had eaten. Answering a hypothetical question which described the symptoms shown In the fatal Illness of Mrs. Brouwer, Dr. Walter S. Washington, of Newark, testi fied that in his opinion arsenical poison ing was the cause- of Mrs. Brouwer's death. Dr. Washington testified as an expert. Dr. Washington was called to the stand late yesterday, but the prosecution blun dered in not being prepared to question him, and the doctor was hastily excused until today in order that a hypothetical question can be framed that will stand the attacks of the defense. Isaac D. White, a newspaper man, to whose work was due the exhumation of Mrs. Brouwer's body, was heard and the state rested its case. Testimony was given that at the time Mrs. Brouwer was lying on her death bed, her husband was visiting a trained nurse, who was a patient in the Long Branch Memorial Hospital, and that he purchased flowers from a Long Branch florist, which he said he was going to send a patient of his in the hospital.
