HAVANA. Oct. 12. The United
States, through Its peace commission
ers, Is not ready to announce whether
It will withdraw from the Island of
Cuba and surrender the reins of gov
ernment to the Cubans, but this action
cannot be taken until fair elections are
assured. This statement was made by
Governor Taft today as a sort of vale
dictory address to the revolutionist
committee, with which the American
Commissioners dealt In Inducing the
rebels to cease hostlltles and negoti
ate peace.
The committe had a conference last
ing an hour with Mr. Taft. Assistant
Secretary of state Bacon and Charles
E. Magoon, who is to succeed Mr. Taft
as Provincial Governor, and at its con
clusion expressed satisfaction with the
position taken by the provincial gov
ernment. Headed by Alfredo Zayas,
the commttee visited Jlr. Taft for the
avowed purpose of requiring him to de
clare the policy of the United States
toward Cuba and the policy of the pro
visional government concerning ap
pointments to public offices.
This evening a committee represent
ing many Americans in Cuba presented
to Messrs. Taft and Bacon an address
expressing appreciation for the great
services they had done for all resi
dents of the island.
The disarmament commissioners sent
to Santa Clara Province. Hernandez and
Monteagudo, have returned here and
report to Mr Taft that they have dis
armed and disbanded all the forces in
that province. More than S000 men
have been disbanded and 1000 rifles
surrendered to the provisional gov
ernment and have been brought Into
Havana. Reports of trouble in various
places are pouring In. but Mr. Taft
says that Investigation always shows
them not to be serious.
Two battalions from the Seventeenth
and two from the Eighteenth Infantry
and Company B of the Hospital Carps
arrived here today on the transports
Monterey and Niagara and proceeded
to Camp Columbia. Two squadrons of
the Fifteenth Cavalry left Camp Co
lumbus today for Santa Clara City.
ISLE OF PIXES STILL CUBAX
Taft Tells American Delegate Sep
a ration Is Impossible.
HAVANA. 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.

north shore of Santa Clara Province.

POISONED BY PTOMAINE
Brouwer's Theory of Wife" Death.
Prosecution Says Arsenic.
TOMS RIVER. N. J.. Oct. 12. 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.
One of the pathetic features of the trial
is the prisoner's mother. She Is a gray
haired woman, with a fine face, and al
though she seldom enters the courtroom,
she remains near the Courthouse, walk
ing up and down the sidewalk.
