LOOKING OVER CUBA
General Wood Continues His
Inspection Tour.
PRISONS AND HOSPITALS VISITED.
The Governor General Believes In
supplying Public work For the
Destitute Instead of FARM
ing Necessities.

CAS;LDA, Cuba, Jan. 24-Governor
General Wood, who is making n tour of
Inspection of the island, and his party
arrived here on board the dispatch boat
Ingalls, at daylight yesterday morning.
Later the general visited Trinidad and
Inspected the Jail, hospitals and other
public buildings at that place. Accom-
panied by General Fitz-Hugh Lee. Gen
eral Chaffee, Colonel Black, Colonel Bur
ton and other officers he visited the post
Of Company X, Second infantry, under
the command of Captain Benham, whom
General Wood complimented upon the
manner in which the jail, hospitals and
streets had been kept clean. "A notice
able feature was that the women do all
the street cleaning and the men do the
laundry work. But the most noticeable
feature Of the province was the lack of
public work, which has retarded its prog
ress. General Wood does not believe in
the advisability of supplying the people
with oxen and farming implements, think
ing 1t better to supply them as much as
possible with public work and allow the
men to save money and buy the neces-
sary implements and oxen, which plan
has been found to work so successfully
in the province of Santiago de Cuba and
Z
country and helps the people as well. The
general is in favor of making the people
more self reliant, and he thinks this plan
is the best way to do so.
General Wood says the prison at Glen
fuegos was overcrowded. Otherwise it
was in good condition. As the names of
many of the prisoners have been sent in
to Headquarters with recommendations
for nardon If is nrObablp that q number
Of them will be released shortly. He is
of the opinion that the hospitals are dirty
and that many improvements could be
made.
The city of Trinidad has nominally 12,-
600 inhabitants. but in reality there are
only about 5000 souls in the place. A
majority of them are very poor, although
not in actual want. There are hardly
any persons requiring assistance.

 Gazette: Dr. Ward met with an ac-

 large, high spirited animal, took ex- captions to something he saw on the street and ran away. The plucky physician maintained firm hold on the lines, but the animal selected his own route, and sometimes he was on the sidewalk and at others in the deep ditch. Then he would take to the streets for time, water pipes, hitch ing posts, etc., giving way to the on- slaught of the excited horse. But the coolness and good nerve of the doctor at last conquered, and the maddened animal was brought to a standstill. The harness was wrecked, the physician shook up badly and his side injured. But he mastered the horse, and drove him home in triumph with much of the harness and his hat left on the street where the matinee occurred. The doctor thinks he will be all right in few days. His nerve saved both himself and the horse.
