CUBANS PLEASED
WITH GEN. WOOD
Recently Appointed Secretaries
Predict a Most Success
full Administration.

Havana, December 31.-Now, that General
Wood has appointed his secretaries, he
hopes that office-seekers will, for the most
part, transfer their attentions to those Off
cials. giving him time TO attend to neces-
sary business.
The entire populace speaks favorably OF
the appointments and the secretaries them
selves are confident of a successful admin
istration.
Senior Tamayo says: "I am firmly con-
vinced that, under General Wood, the Sec
retaries he has chosen will be able to do a
great deal toward laying the foundations of
Cuban government.
s'If they had not had entire confidence In
General Woods ability and sincerity they
would not have accepted office. Politics Is
not my own Tine, and I will sustain con-
siderable loss in having to abandon the
practice of my profession; but am Gu
ban and ready to serve Cuba.
.sWhen the secretaries have had a meeting
and agreed upon a general policy after an
exchange of ideas, / may be able to discuss
it intelligently. 1t seems to me that the
secretaries have been well chosen. and
expect that all will pull together"
General Rivera said: General Wood is
an easy man to work with, and inspires
confidence by his candor, continuity Of pur-
pose and perfect knowledge of his own
mind. I believe that the basis of a good
constitution can be laid by the new secre-
tarfes.
General Wood Is just the man for the
place he holds. and the country is disposed
to trust him. although, of course, II is too
soon to speak with absolute assurance"

'"The president should have offered the
friendly offices of this country to prevent
this cruel war. He should have responded
to the great and mighty petition for peace

peace conference. He should have done
SO consistently.
"But the friends OF free institutions
should not lose hope; we should not de-
spair, even though the White House seems
to be enveloped in the atmosphere of an

congress can-and congress should. l have

Senator Mason Speaks
Senator Mason received hearty welcome.
He said:
I'VE want to look at this thing fairly to-
night, and not let oIr passions get the bet
ter of us. If England is really in the right,
if she Us really seeking the promotion of
civilization over the whole world, If she

We should be with her in this war. But
If she 1sNseffishly seeking the requirement
of rich territory, if she is seeking to force
her flag of empire over a free, liberty y-loving
people, then we must speak out without
fear or favor
Senator Mason reviewed the history of
the Dutch people in South Africa, and her
relations with England. In the course of
this he referred to "Lilliputian statesmen
who are trying to fill the place of the great
Gladstone, and who are now seeking to be-
little his memory by insinuating that fear
made him direct the retirement of the
British from the Transvaal after Majuba

discretion, the events of the last six weeks
in South Africa have shown that 1t was in

"It may be said by some that the reso-
