character and preliminary to trade ne

fore embarking upon reciprocity nego-
tiauons with this country, the German
government desires TO obtain the views
Of the several boards OF trade, which
in the past have been hostile to Amer

the necessity for Germany Of a com

appreciate the effect Of the comm r

GENERAL WOODS PROMOTION.
Opposition to His Advancement Has
Developed Among Army officers.

NEW YORK. Dec. 7.-DiscuSslng the
promotion Of General Wood to the rank
Of major general. the Washing CORES
pondent Of the Herald says;
Though Il has been apparent that
the president has further reward in
store for General Wood, there has been
strOag feeling in the army in opposition
TO his appointment as a brigadier gem
eral OF the regular service, and this
opposition has undoubtedly caused tn
president to determine to make Cen
eral Wood n,ajoT general Of volun-
teers and place him in command Of
the military division of Cuba.
So opposed are some officers Of the
service to Gen. Woods advancement
that it is expected movement Will
be inaugurated to prevent conArma-
ton Of the nomination by the senate.
1t is claimed by these men THAI the
advancement OF captain % the med-
cal corps to the high rank Of major
general is calculated 10 subvert disci-
pine, disturbing existing methods Of
promotion and is apt to make the
younger officers devote more time 20
getting political pulls" than to per
fecting themselves in their special
branches. OF course General Woods
appointment as governor vf Cuba will
depend uron the confirmation Of the
nomination.
General Brooke will complete a
years service in command Of Cuba on
January /. General Wilson and Gen-
eral Lee will some time in the near
future be appointed brdgadier generals
Of the regular service and retired with
that rank, and Bfgadier General Lud-
low. United STATES volunteer. will Be
brought home. General Brooke will
probably be assigned to command the
depanmen1 Of California TO succeed
Major General Shafter, when that Of
ficer is retired as a major general in
accordance with the recommendation
Of Secretary RoOk.
The decision Of the president not to
divide Cuba into two departments, as
contemplated at one time, placing
General Ludlow in command Of the
western department and General Wool
Of the eastern Department., undoubtedly
is due In part to the published inter
views with General Ludlow, indicating
that that officer vas opposed 20 the
views Of the administration with re-
spect to Cuba, and his statements were
calculated, it WIS believed, to make
the inhabitants Of The island dissatis-
fed under his administrator
General Wood was also opposed TO
the establishment of a civil govern
ment at this time, but he is very pOpu-
lar, not only in the eastern section Of
the island, but in the middle and west
ern sections as well, and prominent
Cubans have acquainted the president
with their hope that ne will be ap-
pointed their governor.
General Wood will not Immediately
take command Of the island. Il is un-
derstood that he will return 10 his post
at Santiago de Cuba, the latter part ot
this week, or early next week and
