Brigadier General Wood, Command
ing Department Of Santiago,
Cuba, Believes the
BEST ELEMENT IS FRIENDLY
And in Thorough Accord With NIL.
tary AuthOrities-POAaeal Agi-
tators Alone to be Feared.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The war de-
partment to-day made public the ro-
port OF Brlgadier General Leonard
Wood, commanding the department OF
Santiago, Cuba, which IS in addition to
what has already been made public
from this oficcr. General Wood gives
an interesting account Of the sanitary
reforms put In force and the good et-
feet in reducing the extent of yellow
fever. smallpox and other diseases. In
discussing present conditions he says:
At believe that the best and most
trustworthy element of the population
is entirely friendly and in thorough ac-
cord with the military authorities. The
only element causing friction has been
the unscrupulous political element,
composed OF certain unprtncipted agi-
tators."
In view Of this friendly attitude Of
the population General Wood recon-
nends large reduction in the force Of
United States troops in the Santiago
department, HIS recommendations IN
this respect is as follows:
1.-THE people being extremely friendly
and quiet the garrison may safely be
reduced to the lowest point consistent
with efficiency. This. think, would be
accomplished by having in the province
two squadrous of cavalry and two bat
tallons Of infantry. In other words l
recommend the withdrawal in the near
future Of one squadron of the Tenth
United States cavalry and one battal-
ion Of the Fifth United States infan-
try. these to be sent to the United
States as home or depot battalIons of
the regiments serving in this depart
ment."
General Wood urges that the younger
officers be chosen for subordinate COM
mands in Cuba.
