SITUATION IN SANTIAGO.
San1nltsm of the Spa rsls Befor
Evacuntlnw HO ruin.

4 vandalism of the Spa ninr1s Before
Evacuatinw Ho guin.
santiast December 11--0enerai Leonard
wood military governor Of the department
Of Santiago, has returned from his tour
OF inspection along the north coast very
Well satisfied with his trip. He considers
that Colonel Hood. Of the Second immune
regiment who is In command OF the troops
at Holguin. has done excellent work In the
district. a5 #
II appears that when the Spaularde left
they filled the csterns With nannre, rem
dering 1T extremely diffacuat to get water.
They killed all the animals they could,
leaving the dead bodies In the streets and
burned all the furniture they were unable
to remove. In fact they devastated the
town. General Wood approves, too, all
the appointments made By Colonel Hood,
who apparently has followed General
( Wood g suggestions az TO methods OF seiec..
ton. He fourd smallpox eual very preva-
lert but under control and gradually belng
reduced by DR.. Woodson and his ASSISTANTS
TIE health Of tho troops is excellent, bnerv
being no increase of sersous sickness.
General Wood also fotsnd Jibara IN good
conuGtOn with the smallpox on the de-
cline. All the lighthouses along the north
coast OF the province are now in use, owing
to THE wreck of the Spanish brig, l0adel
with cocoanut oil. which proved upportuns
in this case.
No little interest attaches to the appoint
merit OF mayor at Mayari. General Wood
found three cand ldlates, about equally sup
ported and all with civil lists estimating
an average annual expenditure OF about
S1.000.00O When he had discovered that
the revenue was something under 100000
General Wood asked II there were not some
reputable citizens with patriotism enough
to give their services for nothing n,er-
chant promptly Responded and the appoint
ment Is acceptable to everybody except the
thres other candidate The minor offices
were filled at considerable reducticN hi
Salaries, bringing down the expenses of
Mayari, which is up the Mayari river, a tsw
mites from Nipe bay, to q point where
they will not exceed Its revenues.
While in that locality General Wood was
informed Of the whereabouts OF sunken
Spanish gunboat, ninety-flve feet long and
of seventy tons register, nearly new. Lieu
tenant L,ucien Young inspected the vessel
and found that 1T could be raised at an
expense Of about $4,000. General Wood
therefore will have the gunboat raised i'm
mediately as small boats of that size are
badly needed.
AT Baraeoa General Wood found the
health Of the United States troops excellent,
ana the Cubans generally satisfied Similar
conditions prevailed at Sasua de Tanamao.
So far as the Second immune regiment
Is concerned, general Wood thinks the men
equal to any, volunteers he has yet seen.
Their discipline, he says. is perfect and
reflects the highest credit upon Colonel
Hood. ~ i,
