young American women who were
anxious to teach in Cuba. 1 should
feel disposed to congratulate a young

While General Wood was there the
New York state superintendent of
schools offered 20 the CubaEs through

that the Cubans so educated should
return and teach for a stipulated

What General Woods Wife Learned
About the Cuban People.

Far down on the southern coast of
Long Island, near Water Mills. Mrs
Leonard Wood and her two small sons
have found Il resting place until the
time shall come to return TO Cuba
Gen Wood. his plans changed by the
outbreak of yellow fever. has hurried
back to Santiago. Mrs. Woods posi-
ton in Cuba was unique and her OPP
rortuniiy to study the character of the
Cubans as individuals Il rare one. Of
the Cubans She says they are a good
sort of people. Among the educated
are as charming men and women as
one would meet anywhere According
TO Mrs. Wood there is no surliness in
Santiago. at least no suspicion of the
honesty Of American motives.
'Cubans who are in position to
Judge like the American and admire
the work of the government" coDtin-
ues Mrs. Wood
I'm my seven mOltns' residence in
Santiago. the whole outlook of affairs
changed. Although General Wood had
not had at his command all the means
he could wish. he has accomplished a
great deal. In several ways he has
greatly facilitated intercourse between
the cities. He has built bridges where
there were none. ne has made new
roads and strengthened and improved
the old ones.
Where the SpaniardS burned cities
to ihe ground, as a last resort, General
Wood has started the task of rebuild
ing them. In Santiago he has wholly
revised their notion of cleanliness. IN
this short time most of the buildings
have been renovated. The FTansfOr-
nation is wonderful.
