GENERAL WOODS WORK
He Places Absolute Trust in the
Cubans.

tiago Was the Hotbed of the
Insurgent Cause.

Washington, Jan. 1S,-General Leon
ard Wood. military commander of the
department Of Santiago, was before the
senate committee on military Gffairs
to-day. He gave a detailed account of
his operations in the province and in
the city of Santiago. and also gave his
estimate of the military force necessary
to maintain order in the island. On the
latter point he expressed the opinion
that for some time 400 men now in
the province of Santiago SHOULD be
continued, but that after a time 5000
would be sufficient for the service. He
considered, however. that military
force would be necessary for the main
tenance of order for some years and
said it should be sufficient to effect
ually and quickly check any trouble
before it could gain Roadway.
This remark applied to the island as
a whole. and he thought that as many
as $4,000 troops should be stationed
throughout Cuba. With proper precau-
ton and tact he did not anticipate
trouble. and he believed that the in
surgent forces would rapidly disinte-
CRATE in all parts Of the island. San
tago had been great stronghold of
the Cuban insurgents under Garcia.
hut they had practically disbanded.
Outlining his mode of government CT
the province, he said he had made no
appointments to office except On tie
recommended tons of Cubans, and that
he had in all cases put them upon their
honor in making such recommenda-
tons. He had shown absolute trust
in them in all matters, going among
them always unarmed and leaving the
books of the administration always pen
to their inspection. He had Cubaas in
all departments and his private secre-
1ary had at one time been a member
of GomeZs staff. Thus they always
knew how their money had been eX-
pended and knew just what he vas
doing as their governor. General Wood
SAID that his first effort had heea to
to establish self government, and he
had been especially Jealous in having
them select their own Offices, cren
schools and establish courts, build
roads, etc, and in cases where hey
did not have the money for these pur-
poses he had aided them by making
contributions from the general furd.
This system was entirely different from
the old one under Spanish rule, when
all the collections were forwarded to
Havana and never came back Only
Is per cent. of the revenue was leNpt-
ed to local uses. He had found Fhe
people especially jealous of their rights
in this respect, and the recent Public
meetings and protests against senc:ng
their revenues to Havana were d'.e to
this feeling.

Far-Reaching and Beneficial Re-
sults-His Review OF For
eign Questions.

London. Jan. 1S.-Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, speaking tonight at the ban
quet of the Wolverhampton chamber of
commerce, reviewed at treat length the
various threatening foreign questions
confronting the government. In con-
nection with the withdrawal of the
French demand for an extension of the
settlement at Shanghai, Mr. Chamber
lain congratulated his hearers that
Great Britain's opposition to the pro-
posal had been supported by the repre-
sentative Of the United States.
That, I Think he said, lis a sgnifi-
cant and noteworthy fact Nay, I
think and hope it will become history.
1t shows that circumstances are bring
ing about the community of interests
between AngloSaXons which in the
future may have far reaching and
beneficial results
He welcomed the changing tone on
the part of France. declaring that if the
French government desired an AMIGA
BILE settlement of all remaining differ
.ences, Great Britain would meet France
more than half way.
In concluding, Mr.. Chamberlain paid
high tribute to the success of Lord
Salisburys foreign policy, remarking':
1T is cause for satisfaction that two
great nations, Germany and the United
States, both protectionists at home,
have proclaimed their intention to ad-
here to the principle of the open door
in their foreign possessions. We shall
regard their expansion without jeal-
ousy and shall welcome their co-opera-
tons and / think without being too
sanguine we may rely upon their SYM
pathy and assistance in securing the
general adoption of a principle to
which we attach so much import
ance."

Charleston, ". Va, Jan. 1S.-The po-
litica situation has assumed a serious
aspect by reason of the refusal of
Governor Atkinson and the senate,
which is republican, to formally recog-

has been notified that the house has
organized and ready for business, he
has not transmitted his message, ana
there is no indication as to when he
will do so. The governor was asked this
afternoon the reason for his course, but
he declined to talk. The senate per-
sisted in adjourning each day immed-

trated the efforts of the house commit

house was in session. A republican
leader in the house to-day made a re-
mark that there will be house in a
few days that the governor will recog-

Atkinson are the leading candidates, but

men. Here are two such letters:

charged that the subsidy granted by

a contract which he said was made be-

the Pacific Gable company an absolute
monopoly of landing cables in that
island for 20 years. Scrymsar, he said,
had slipped over and obtained this con-
tract just before sovereignty was
transferred. But President Dole. he
said, had insisted upon a provision to
the effect that this contract should not
be binding if the American state de-
partment should within six months ex-
press us dlSapprOVal OF the contract
Corliss said he had personally seen
the secretary of state about the mat
ter and he announced that prior to Jan.
2. 1899, Secretary Hav had declared his
disapproval and the contract was
therefore void. (Applause). Speaking
of the necessity of cable communication
in time of war, he spoke of the fact
that Dewey had been obliged as a mill
tary act to cut the Manila cable. 1t
was cut for months.
How much do you suppose we will
have to pay for interrupting cable COM
munication?' he asked IT dare not
tell you, the sum is so large; but + will
say that we were paying during the
war $4,000 day in cable tolls"
Corliss said he would offer substi-
tute measure for the construction of a
government cable to Hawaii and the
Philippine islands.
Hepburn replied briefly to some of
Corliss' statements. He thought the
provisions of the bill, guarded as they
were, better than embarkation on the

from the money expended under this
system than ever before. One thing is
certain, and upon that all are agreed
