CUBAN PRISON REFORM.
General Wood Will Endeavo. to
Remedy All Irregularities.
Ali Prisoners Must Es Triea-Iany Have
Been Confined For Months
Without a Trial.

HAVANA (By Cable ).--General Wood says
that one OF the first things he looked into
after his arrival was the management OF
Cuban prisons. Investigation has proved
shat, even among American prisoners alone,
there has been an average detention OF five
months without trial. There are many
things calling .or immediate attention, par.
tcularly in the matter OF sleeping accom-
modatioas. Reforms will be promptly in
stItutel in this respect, and hammocSs will
be supplied so that the prisoners will not
he compelled II sleep on the bare floors. as
is now the case with those who are without
friends or money. Only a few who are able
TO pay for them have cots.
One OF the first things taken in hand by
General Wood rs Military Governor OF
Santiago was prison management. 1t was
his custom then to make personal visit
to the local Jail once a week and to go
through the entire list OF those confined,
summurily dispos:nG OF the charges agains.
those who were obviously upjustly de-
tainei and releasing those who had been
imprisoned for long period on some .ri-
fling ground.
He intends TO make weekly visits here
also until Il ajority et the existing abuses
are abatGd. and he is trying to devise
means that will insure prompt trials for
persons accused.
Men whom General ludlow ordered to
bs released are still neld. after three or
four years OF waiting without trial. Gem
eral Wood thinks that when his order goes
into effect calling upon all judicial officers
and military commanders to saad complete
lists OF prisoners awaiting trial the con-
gestion OF untriei prisoners will be relieved
within fifteen davS. and he does not intend
that similar conditions shall arise again.

themselves may be regarded as sufficient
to dispel any impression that the cruise
was in any manner connected with the war
between the British and the Boers.
AS to the real objects OF tho cruise it is
believed that the Navy Department had It's
eye upon possible coaling station OF the
West Coast. Before aud during the
Civil War the United States had no
less than three coaling stations on that
coast. They wer. practically abandoned
when the West African station was dropped
from the list. but the chief OF the Equip.
ment Bureau. Near-Admiral Bradford, has
strongly urged that they be re-established,
so as to insure our naval vessels n source.
OF coal supply when passing from the
Eastern Atlantic States around to the.
Philippines and China, In the event that
the Suez Canal should be closed against
them,
The Llberian Government always has been
willing and even anxious that the station
on its coast should be kept up, IL only as q
manifestation OF the interest OF the United
S'atas In the colony it created, and to pro-
tect 1t by our moral influence against Euro,
pean aggression.
Tue British conception OF the object 'ot
the Montgomery's visit TO Africa therefore
may be entirely within the line OF proba-
bility. as intended not only to afford US a
good coaling station where ono Is badly
needed, but also to exhibit to other nations
our natural interest In the negro colony
founded by Americans.

WHAT IS SAID IN LONDON.
Why rh1 United States Warshtp Visited
the West African Coast.

LONDON (By Cable).-It Is stated here
that the United States cruiser Montgom-
ery's recent visit to Liberia was the result
osovertures made to Washington by that
republic. Though the British Gov ernment
is in complete ignorance OF the purpose Of
the Montgomery's mission, the establish
ment Of u coaliDg station In Liberia by the
United States is regarded as scarcely
probable, as, 1t is asserted. No Llberlan
port hns any facilities for coaing, oil Of
them being open aud suri-bound. ,
But 1t is declared that far ~ ore Import
ant step ts under consideration. It con-
sists in Joint request OF the United States
and Great Britain upon France to deaneI
the boundary between the territory she
claims and that claimed by Liberia. This
step is not yet decided upon, but Great
Britain only awaits the assent of the
United States to become party to such q
request.
1t is alleged that France, for many years,
has been encroachinS on Liberia, md 1t
was only by the strenuous protest OF the
United States that she was prevented
from appropriatinS lnrge slice OF Liberia
In 1892. q
According to the Hon. Arthur Ponsonby,
Managing Director OF the Liberia Rubber
Syndicate, which recently guaranteed the
interest OF Liberals public debt. tho Mont
gomery's visit is probably prompted by q
desire to ascertain the extent OF French
activity.
Liberia decorated Mr.. Ponsonby a few
days ago with the 0rder OF African Re-
demption, in recognition OF his services
against encroachments.
