WOOD IN WASHINGTON.
Consults With the President Regarding
 Cuban Conditions.

Washington, January 11.-Major General Leonard Wood military commandant at Santiago, arrived in Washington last night
 He breakfasted with Secretary Alger this morning and then repaired to the White House for a consultation with the president respecting internal conditions in Cuba. The war department has been deraying final &C., ton upon the varous financial troub'es con- nected with the customs service at Santiago and at other Cuban points uAtil GeiRral Woods arrival, regarding him as well qualified by his prolonged stay in charge of affairs at Santiago to afford sound advice for its government. The general himself modestly declines to discuss these matters publicly. He expects to leave Washington returning to Cuba next Monday. The stu- ation in Santiago, he says, was thoroughly satisf ctory and no trouble was to be ap- prehended there in the near future He took occasion to declare very earnestly that the stories of friction betweeen himself and General Brooke, the military commandant of the island, were absolutely without foun- dation. adding that their relations were most pleasant and, as far as he knew. there had beeen no differences between them.
