was two hours fighting between the

the warriors were decapitated. The
American consul issued a proclamation
claiming that the Berlin treaty had
the same force as law OF congress
and that an insult to the supreme

Anticipate Trouble.

Washington, Jan, sO.--Gen. Leonard
Wood, military commander of the de-
partment of Santiago, was before the
senate committee on military affairs
yesterday. 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 nec-
essary to maintain order in the island.
On the latter point he expressed the
opinion that for some time the
$500 men now in the province OF
Santiago should be continued, but
after a time 5000 would be sutii-
cient for the service. He considered
however, that a military force would
be necessary to the maintenance of
order for some years, and said 1t should
be sufficient effectually and quickly to
check any trouble before 1t could gain
Roadway. This remark applied to the
island ms whole, and he thought as
many as so, 900 troops should be sta
toned throughout Cuba. With proper
precautions and tact he did not antici-
pate trouble, and he believed that the
insurgent forces would rapidly disin-
tegrate in all parts of the island. SAM
