The General expects to call on the
President later in the day. He Will be
here for several days
General Wood says he was not called
home to consult about the removal of
troops from Cuba to China but TO talk
over general matters id relation to his
post in Cuba He is anxious 10 go to Chi

General Wood expressed himself as highly
pleased wIth affairs in Cuba. The recon

gradually and everything is a most
tranquil state. Prosperity, he says is
making itself felt and there is a growing
increase OF confidence among the people.
