GEN. WOODS GOOD
WORK. IN CUBA.
Bridges and Highways Will Be Re-
buiIt--Rural Water System Will
Be Greatly Improved.

Havana, Jan S.-Senor Villalon, sec
retary OF public works. arrived yester-
day from Santiago. and called upon
Gov.-Gen. Wood. with whom he had a
long interview. Today he Will consult
with Col. Black. chief engineer of the
division Of cuba.
Gen. Wood has advised that the first
thng 10 be done is To repair the bridges
throughout the island and 10 make the
roaGs passable, particularly The social
ed Royal Road, extending the length OF
the islanS, but which only exists in

ments a seem necessary. Wherever
practicable these will he carried out.
CORRUPTION OF THE COURTS.
The courts OF Justice under the ex-
listing system. are among the most cor
rupt in the world. 4 prominent mer-
chant who has resided here for 40 years
and who has over 900 invested In
cuba, recently told Gen. Wood that
the principal reason for the lack OF con
fidence In Cuban investments was the
character of the courts. He declared
that there was a widespread conviction
that almost any crime could be COM
mitted In Cuba with impunity so long
as the offender was able 10 make
"iudlcious investment OF money"
The popular belief according 20 Gen.
Woods informant. had long been that
II was simply a question or cash II
