 WORK IN CUBA
Man from Havana Tells ofMont-

WOOD IS A GREAT FAV0RlTE
The People Were Displeassd With Gen- eral Brooke on Account of His Love for Social Display-He
 Did Very Little Work

Age-TIerald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont gomery, January S.-(Special)-J. M. Lee, Of Havana, Cuba, was in Montgomery to- day. Mir. Lee Is a former Montgomerian, and went to Cuba about four months ago for the purpose of organizing the Cuban Ice company, which is backed by Montgom- cry capital.
 In conversation with representative of The Age-Herald this morning MT. Lee ta.ed very Interestingly of affairs in Cuba
 "Everything in and about Havana Will do we'll since General Wood has been placed in charge" said MT. Lee.
 You are aware of the excellent condi- ton General Wood has left Santiago prov ince in, and we are confidently expecting that ne will introduce the same system in Havana. Havana province las not pro- grcssed under General Brooke as d.d San tiago under General Wood. General Brooke paid no attention to anything except fancy dress balls. The courts and every hing else went along under the sume old slow Span isn style The Americans in Havana are expecting General Wood to introduce the system of laws which were drafted for Santiago by Colonel A. A. Wiley of Ala Lama during his service last winter as lieutenant colonel of the Fifth Immunes. colonel Wiley was detailed by the late General Lawtcn to draft form of govern ment and Colonel Wileys work has proven absolutely satisfactory to everybody in the island. General Lawton said before leav- ing the island that there was no over estimating the value of a man like Wiley. lie Is held in very high esteem by the Gu pans, and We Americans over there only wish that he had been made governor gen. eral.
 General Wood is a very conservative man, however, and f3ne people are well pleased with him. Of course the military are disgusted at having some other than West Pointer over them, but they are cast coming over to General Woods sides EVerI'Jling on the island is now qu.et. and no further trouble is feared. Many of the better class of the Cubans have gone to work and are fast building new houses. Wnlch are in very great demand at Ha- Vana. The sugar planters are beginning 10 grind their cane, and they will keep it up until about the first of May, when they VIII again begin planting. The sugar crop Will be short this year on account of the dry wea ,her."
 MT. Lee left for Havana tonight in com pany With the following party of Montgom- erans, who go over to spend several weeks: MT and Mrs. c. G. Abercrom'bie Mr. and Mrs D. w. Buhl, J. R. Kelly, T. H. Moore. C. h. Westcott and William Crossland.

American sentiment and the south
African War.

The New York correspondent OF the Lon
don Times, MIR. GEORGE W. SMALLEY, per-
sistently represents American sentiment as
favorable to England In it, war with the
South African republics. As, however, this
gentleman was closely identified with
Tory politics" when In England, the Lon.
don Truth questions the truth ~ his repre-
sentations and believes that the English
people will have "A very painful awakening"
To the actual American sentiment "if tho
South African war is not brought TO a
speedy conclusion
II is unQu~estionably contrary to the fact
and mischievous to tell the English people
that American feeling leans to the side OF
England in its war to wipe out indepen-
dent republican government In south
Africa. Doubtless. there is a division OF
sentiment on the subject; that many Amer
leans sympathize heartily with England
and believe the destruction Of the Dutch
republics would be advantageous 10 civili-
zation is undeniable. That feeling, however.
Is not by any means so prevalent, so ear
nest and so aggressive as is the instructive
American sympathy with the struggling
Beers. Any political party which ventnr"d
to go before the American people with y
policy favorable to England and uniriendly
to the Beers would unquestionabiy be
swamped at the election next November.
No such declaration will he made by any
party in the coming campaign; If SYM
patty is expressed by any 1t will be with the
Beers; and, NATURALLY enough, for this is the
great seat OF republican government.
Obviously, the vast p~roponderance Of
American sentiment earnestly desires
the conclusion Of the South African war,
but that II would be offended by any con.
rlusion that involved the destruction Of
the two little republics and their sub
lection to the ~paramountcy OF Great
Britain is no less manifest. Such n result
may come to pass, but it would be painfully
regarded by tn" great body Of the Ameri-
can people; they have never found ju,tifca-
tiOn for the course Of that empire in pro-
voking the existing hostilitics.

The Command OF the Asiatic station.

Rear-Admiral REMEY has been designated
to succeed Rear-Admiral WATSON In COM
mand Of the Asiatic station. During the
Spanish war Admiral REMEY, then a Com
modore, commanded the naval base at
Key West. No glory was 10 be gained
there; but there was work to be done OF
the highest importance, on the execution Of
which depended In a very large measure
the efficiency Of the North Atlantic fleet
and its component squadrOns. This work
REMEY performed, in such a way as to de-
serve and obtain the cordial approval Of
the Department. Now he goes TO hoist his
flag at sea for the first time, and to take
over the most important command in the
United States Navy.
Rear-Adniral WATSON has commanded
the station only since June last, having
succeeded Admiral DEWEY. It * to be
hoped that tn" i'll health. on account Of
which it Is reported that he is relieved, "ill
not prove permanent; he will not retire for
age until Aug. "a, 1904, and so Is still n
young man.
The designation Of Rear-Admiral McCoR-
MICK MS second in command OF Rear-Ad-
miral REMEy Is much to be commended. A
| second officer Of flag rank should nave been
supplied to DEWEY Immediately after the
naval reinforcement were sent to him. Our
fleet on the Asiatic station now numbers
thirty-ilve vessels, ranging from the Oregon
Of 10000 tons TO the Basco Of fort y-two
tons. The numberless details Of tine com
| handing officers work are harnssing and
annoying, even when they are not of capital
| importance, IA they certainly were while
DEWEY was in command. and as they have
| been only in n less degree during Admiral
WATsON's term of Oriental service.
R"ar-Admiral MCCORMICK was on sick
leave during the Spanish war, and for over
n year has been In command ~ the Wash
ington Navy Yard; he has not been at sea
for two years. He has still upward OF
four years to serve before hs rctires for
age. His appointment i, excellent in itself;
and the principle behind II Is even better.
1t Is not consistent with the Importance of
our position in the East that the command
Of the fleet stationed there should he lack
ing in respect TO high rank.
