WOOD TO DE GOVERNOR OF CUBA.
VIII Supersede Observation-Disclosures
of Cuban Military Establishment.

WASHINGTON. December 7.-General
Leonard Wood had a conference with the
Secretary of War to-day. respecting his
future. While neither Of the principals
had anything 10 say for publication as
10 the conclusions reached. 1t IS gathered
that General Wood is to be the next Gov
ernOr Of Cuba, succeeding General
Brooke. who will return TO the United
States.
1t is expected that the military force In
Cuba can be greatly reduced in the near
future, SO that while General Wood. by
commanding the troops remaining, Will
be military governor, there will be SO
little left OF the military establishment
that his office will be much more civil
than military in fact.
The reduction In force will enable the
War Department 10 withdraw some, or
perhaps ALL OF the general officers Of the
regulars now IN Cuba.

avenue, and went into the building. DR.
Hill and w. r. Boland, who were stand
ing nearby, noted that he did not
blanket his horses. though the cold was
intense, the wind having free sweep
from the court house square.
They expected, however that ne
would return in a few minutes. Many
minutes went by and they requested
PatrOman Parry to take the team into
Cusicks livery, out of the cold. They
then reported the matter to Agent
Knapp, Of the Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals, and Man
ming was shortly afterwards arrested
and taken before Alderman Kasson.
Mr.. Manning waived a hearing and en-
tered bail in the sum of $500 for his
appearance at court.
Mr.. Manning was accompanied by
his two brothers, both attorneys, one
OF Susquehanna, the other of this city.
Attorney Manning of Susquehanna,
was highly indignant and upbraided
the alderman, the soCietys agent, and
Mr.. Kemmerer, a member of the soci-
ETY.. He also at first refused to allow
his brother to remove the team from
the livery, demanding that the patrol
man should bring the horses to where
he go them. He stated that he and his
brothers We're holding an important
consultation and were longer than they
expected to be.

MR.. sANBoRN RETURNS.
Is Once More in Charge of the
Rescue Mission.

George q. Sanborn who for six years
had charge OF the Rescue Mission ON
Franklin avenue, and who resigned
his post, last May to engage in Y. NJ.
C, A. work among the soldiers at
Chickamauga, is back again at his old
position.
Mr.. Sanborn's health would not per-
nit him to continue the rigorous work
i'm the camp and in the latter part of
August he gave it up and by his
physicians advice went to the Maine
woods to recuperate. The climate
there, however, did not agree with
him and he left for the West.
j. Il. Hendsey, who succeeded him
here, did not find the character of the
work at the mission suited to his tai
ents and at his urgent request was
relieved and at the end of last month
returned to his home in Waterbury,
Conn, The managers of the mission
communicated to Mr.. SanbOrn the
straits they were in and besought him
TO return here and resume the work in
which he had been so eminently sue
cessful. He consented and at once pro-
ceeded to take up the onerous duties
attached to the office. He is now at his
old stand and the mission is booming
as of yore.
