WOOD TO SUCCEED BROOKE.



OF Cuba.
Washington. Dec. 9.--General Leon
ard Wood had a conference with the
secretary Of war yesterday respecting
his future. While neither of the prin-
cipals had anything to say for publica-
tion as to the conclusions reached, it is
gathered that General Wood is to be
the next governor of Cuba, succeeding
General Brooke, who will return to the
United States.
1t is expected the military force in
Cuba can be greatly reduced in the
near future, so that while General
Wood by commanding the troops re-
naming will be military governor,
til ere will be so little left of the mill
tary establishment that his office will
be much more civil than military in
fact. The regulations in force will
enable the department to withdraw
some or perhaps all of the general Off

DEVELOPMENT OF THE WEST.

For generations the theory of
thinking men has been that the Pacific
slope would eventually be the COM
mercial center of the world. They
estimated the time required to work
the change would be centuries. Re-,
cent events, however, have set the
movement going with great rapidity,
and while it may be several genera
tions before the predictions of COM
mercial supremacy are realized, the
fact remains that the greatest trade
current of this or several centuries
now has its trend directly toward the
western slope of this continent. The
eyes of the world are on the Pacific
northwestern states.
New and wider markets are the
need of the civilized world. With
America 1t is becoming an especially
pronounced need. Overproduction
has been the cry throughout this
nation. The United States possesses
the raw material, the mills and
factories and the skilled labor, but
these did not save them from passing
through prolonged and depressing
period of commercial inactivity from
which they are now emerging. But
with another revolution of the cycle
of trade such another period may
come.
Those new markets are to be had
in Asia and the countries that border
on the western limits of the Pacific.
The imports of Japan, China, British
Australasia, British India and the
Straits Settlements amount to about
a billion dollars year. More than
half of this IS composed of articles
that can be produced in and exported
from the United States. The larger
percentage of such imports can best
come from the Pacific northwestern
states. The opening of the Pacific
markets is st hand.
Add to the possibilities of trade
with those countries ard the in
creased market they provide for
agricultural and manufactured prod
ucts the immense mineral wealth of
the Pacific northwest, the timber,
the ability to build ships, the best of
the few harbors on the western shore
of the continent and the numerous
transportation lines, and you have
a land certainly strangely and mar
velOusly blessed. Is it any wonder
that when, last week, the various
transcontinental lines offered excep-
lionally low rates of passenger fare
from the east to Pacific northwestern
states, eastern people were quick to
avail themselves of those rates and
are swarming into this favored
region in great NUM- bers?
The east is awake to the possibili-
ties of the west. Here is significant
item from the Chicago Chronicle of
last Wednesday:
"Over 800 homeseekers and specu-
lators left Chicago yesterday for
north Pacific coast points. 1t was
the largest rovement of this class of
passengers in the history of the rail-
roads, and it was due to the boom
expected on the western coast be-
cause of the acquisition of the
Hawaiian and Philippine islands, =
