GENERAL WOOD SENDS GRATIFYING RE
PORT TO THE WAR DEPARTMENT.

Washington, June 3.-The War Department has
received a long report from General Wood at San
tago. In which ne says that he has Just returned
from trip through the interior and along the north
coast of Santiago Province This with the rre-
cedlng trip, completed about ten days ago. has in
cluded every town of Importance In the province,
as well as most of the smaller ones. The people
are all at work. peaceful, conten;ed. and far as
one can see fairly happy. General Wood. speak
ing Of the alleged breandage in his province, says:
The reports which had alarmed the citizens In
the vicinity of Sama and Banes were, as far as I
Fera. He has spent his time. apparently. in cir
culating reports of brigandage and actually inci-
ing some men to commit lawless acts in order to
give color TO his reports, and following UP this
work with kilograms 10 Havana. requesting that
he be authorized to pursue the banlts, and Incl
dentally be given command and big pay. | took
him off quietly and told him that my orders TO my
officers and TO the Guardia Rural were 10 give all
men OF his description short shrft II they were
caught engaged in any work Of this Sort that he
was a marked individual. was closely watched al d
ports that have reached you have been got up in
this way and they mean nothing. Now and then
there is OF stealing robbery. just there
is in all Western States. but nothing more.
The whole problem to-day in Cuba is work Put
the idle people who reading the incendiary
press to work reegate to back seat the poll
ticians whose present importance rests solely on
the attentions they receiving from our people
and they will not have followers enough left TO
give them the slightest Importance weight in
the community.
General Wood says that the people who ere
atng the disturbances in Cuba do not represent
per cent Of the population. He believes there Is
enough money with the revenues to find work for
the idle not TO the deriment of the administration
but to its great benefit.
