tits Russin's Opportunity.
DENIED BY GEN. WILSON.
Did Not Say That He Would Not
Serve Under wood.

Statements have been made in various
newspapers to the effect that Brig Gen.
James H. Wilson, United States volunteers.
commanding the Department Of Matanzas
and Santa Clara, with headquarters at
Matanzas was disgruntled at his failure to
receive an appointment as brigadier gen.
eral Of regulars, and that in consequence
of being Jumped by Maj. Gen. Wood he
intended to resign his commission in the
army. In order to show the entire ground
lessness Of these reports, and to put Gen.
Wilson'S attitude in the matter before the
public In a true light, the following letter
was made pubuc at the War Department
today:
..MATANZAS, Cuba, December 81, 1899.
To the Adjutant General Of the Army,
washington, D. C. Through Military
Channels):
Sir: Press representatives In this island
have maIiciousy sent to the press In the
United States the report that l had said
would not serve under Gen. Wood. but
would shortly resign my commission in the
army. This report Is entirely without
foundation or authority. II has been the
rule of my military life to serve loyalty and
faithfully under whomsoever the President
might place in command over me. and this
will continue to be my rule so long as my
services are required or the important in
terests of my cnarge demand my attention.
1T has not been my custom to notice
Misrepresentation of the press, but this
report has been so widely circulated that it
seems to call FOR different treatment. and
would thank you to make known the sub
stance of this letter in such manner may
seem best suited to correct the injury al
ready done. Yours respectfully,
(Signed) JAMES H. WILSON,
"Brigadier General Volunteers
Gen. Wilson has been in this city for sew
eraI days past in consultation with the
President and officials OF the War Depart
ment in regard to military and political
conditions in Cuba. Uns SIS he changes his
present plans. he will leave here tonight
for Cuba, to resume command of the mill
tary department Of Matanzas and Santa
Clara.
