over, is wholly ignorant Of the local cir
cumstances and conditions, is to be al
lowed to throw bands of red tape around
such officers as Gen. Wood Col. Ray and
Lieut.. Col. Wylly and 10 hamper and in
terfere with the work that they are so
wisely and 50 successfully doing, il will be
not only unfortunate for the Cubans, but
discredita Bile and discrediting to the Unit
ed States"
