General Wood Outlines
The Work Accomplished.

Washington, Sept 80 In long
personal letter to Secretary Alger,
Gen. Leonard Wood. military gov
eluor of Santiago. outlines the work
he hss accomplished since be took
charge of the city.
he says that when the American
forces entered the town the sanitary
situation was something frightful.
Unburied dead lay in the houses,
5000 Spanish sick and wounded
crowded the hospitals and barracks,
horde of 10000 half famisbed peo
pie walked the streets, the water sup
ply had been cut off and the streets
were full of dead animals and filthy
material. Because of the ad-
vance of decomposition, the
dead were burned Yellow fever was
raging, twenty or more cases being
in the Spanish hospital alone and the
civil hospital was filed with dying
persons
Gen Wood began systematically
to improve the situation. He has ITO
men constantly at work and the death
ra,e Is only one fourth what it was in
July. The sick are given careful
medical attention and the worthy poor
are fed, $4,000 ratiops being distrib-
uted every day The garbage is taken
outside the city and burned, and the
unhealthy parts of the city have been
drained The police force in the city
and .he lighthouse system in the har
nor have been established. The
courts are not in operation yet, but
Gen Wood himself sits each day as
police judge. Since the Americans
took the city the customs receipts
have 100000.
The present expenses attending the
work of. operating the city. which
are to some extent extraordinary, are
about S.. 900 a week. By the meas
ures adopted by General Wood gen

been avoided The general hopes
