WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Mr. Horatio
Rubens, associated with Senior Guesada
in the Cuban representation here, re-.
turned from visit to Havana, Matan.
zas and other points in Cuba. He ac.
companied General Wood when he
went to assume the governor general
ship. He also had the opportunity of
presenting General Gomez, General
Rodriguez and many other veteran Gu.
ban leaders to General Wood. Speak.
ing of his observations, he said in part:
No country on earth is more at peace
than Cuba is. The presidents message,
the declarations of the secretary of war,
followed by the appointment of General
Wood, who goes to carry out the policy OF
the president have been received with
universal favor. The veterans of the
revolution and all elements, even those
supposed to be most at unrest, are deeply
gratihed by the program enunciated by
General Wood-the reform of the courts
so as to give speedy trials, the clearing of
the prisons OF those who have been IAN
gushing under slow procedure, the estab-
lishment of system of free public
schools and the construction of roads, all
with view to local necessities. These
purposes have met with universal ap.
plause from the Cubans.
