REMOVAL OF TROOPS.
Cuba 10 Be Relieved 10 Some
Extent at Once,
WOOD ON RECENT RUMORS,
No Real Prospect Of Revolt, in His
Opinion.
REWARD FOR SANTIAGO HERO

i'm June

WASHINGTON, d. A., November "
General Leonard wood, who reached
Washington last night had a two-hourS
conference with the Secretary OF war TO-
day.
After the conference. Secretary Root
announced that his recommendation as
IN the removal Of troops from cuba haa
been approved. and that orders would be
issued putting them into effect
General wood said that IN his opinion
all the rumors OF impending trouble III
cuba were groundess; that there was
mo- real prospect Of revolt, and that
whatever friction and discomfort ala eN-
ist among the Cubans was due to the
recent talk of civil governor for the
island. When asked about the report OF
his selection for this position, General
wood said:
40 PLAN FOR CIVIL GOVERNOR
II do not know thing about II. /
have heard nothing OF the plan for a
civil governor, except what l have seen
in the papers The place has not been
offered 10 me. and have not been asked
for any suggestions on the subject"
Concerning his mission to Washington,
ne said that il was merely for consulta-
ton about the reduction Of the American
force i'm the island. Il have recommend
ed a reduction OF about % per cent or
the force i'm my department. said Gene
| raj Wood: that is TO say. the re-
cali of the Fifteenth Infantry and the
removal of a squadron from each of the
cavalry regiments / think that this
Is perfectly feasible. When / say that
SANTIAGO is perfectly quiei. II IS pretty
| fair indication OF the condition through
out the island. Every revolution that
! has started there has started IN Santiago
| province and i'm the last war 20 per cent
! of the troops were drawn from that pro-
| vince"
REWARD FOR WOOD.
| II is stated that the President has de-
ciIed ON the refard to be allotted 10 Cen
4 eral Wood when his term OF service
i'm Cuba is over II is stated OIL
! GOOD authority that General Wood j,
slated 10 succeed General George NJ
/ Sternberg. as SurgeOn-General OF the
! army. when the latter is retired by law
! in Juae of the coming year.
The surgeou-eeneralship would place

so desired. In a position carrying with II
great prestige in the profession. both AT

General Wood has taken a house II

Attorney-Generai A. J. Montague has
given an opinion in the case of Hon. A.

that Mr.. Warthen cannot hold his
Office as Commissioners OF tho Revenue
and ut the same time serve as a member
OF the General Assembly.
Mr. Warthen, VIII owas recently oasct-
ed member OF the House from eho
district composed Of the counties Of
Clarke and Warren, is also Commissioner
OF the Revenue OF the latter. The 0use-
ton as TO his eligibility to service IN the
House was not raised, SO far az KNOWN
prior TO the election. Since that time,
however. some OF Mr.. Warthen's eonsti-
tuents have begun looking into the mat

As stated. that opinion holds chat Mr..

Section OF Article V. OF the Consti-
tuition says no person holding a sala-
rled office under the State Government
shall be- capable OF being elected a pem-

sembly.
Commonwealth attorneys have fro
quently occupied seats In the General
Assembly. IL is held that State sem
ator, or member of tho House, does not
occupy an office in the sense intended
by the Code. Therefore, Commonwealth
attorneys and county superlntendents 81
schools have been allowed 60 retain their
seats It Is believed that commissioners
of the revenue have also done so.
THE HOUSE MUST DECIDE
The decision Of the Acknowledgement

Mr.. Warthen Is said TO be a very fine

his election 10 two offices. In casa the
