CAN'T STAND CLIMATE.
GEN. WOODS TESTIMONY BEFORE
Z SENATE MILITARY COMMITTEE

No Troops Can Escape Disease Due "a
Ciimste--By Elaborate system OF
sanitation Improved Condition.
Might he securcd--A Railroad to
Santiago from Havana Would he a
Great CiviIizer.
Washington, January i9.-General Wood
continued his testimony before the SEN
ate committee on military affairs today,
dealing especially with the requirements
as to troops in Cuba. He explained his
estimate of 80, 600 as the number Of troops
nee sssary to be kept in the entire Island
saying that he had placed the number so
high because the effect of the climate
was such as to render large per cent Of
American soldiers there ineffective for
aggressive action.
OF his present force he did not believe
that to exceed one-half was not fit for
effective service. 1t could be almost said
thnt no troops stationed there had escaped
the diseases duo to the climate. This fact
accounted for the non-aggressive character
Of the Spanish campaign In the island
and he thought, explained why as many
as $50, 900 Spanish soldiers were required
in the service there. He had found that
the Spanish were affected by the climate
as the Americans were and also that the
Cubans themselves were under constant
liability to malaria Often as many as 20
per cent of the Cubans were disabled. 1t
was as yet too early to say whether our
troops in the island would become so
acclimated that they would be able to re-
sist disease. He was hopeful that by an
elaborate system OF sanitation In the
island, improved conditions might be
secured. A year or two at least would be
necessary to decide this problem.
General Wood said that II was feasible
to construct railroad line betwee n
santigao and Havana and that q Santia- %
firm had agreed to guarantee the funds
for the enterprise. Though the enterprise
would be q great civilizer.
'It would, he said afford employ

present principal employment is that of

gard to the resources of Cuba, saying that

was sinking and wanted her crew taken
of.
"We were anxious to send boat, said
the captain, "but owing to our disabied
condition, we could not get the Alesia
into the position to lower one. We stood
oy the Glendower all night and although
the seas mercilessly swept her decks,
the crew crouohed In sheltered parts
awaiting rescue. But we were power
less to help her. On the morning of JAN
uary IL, we sighted the British steamer
Barrowmore, Capt. Harris, which left

and then headed for Queenstown. Kin
