CUBANS WANT
ISLAND FLAG
General Wood Thinks
Annexation Is Not
Practicable.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Among the pas
sengers who arrived yesterday from Ha-
vana were General Leonard Wood, Gov
ernor of Cuba; Mrs. Wood, M. ]. Dady,
the contractor; Sir William Van Horne,
Lieutenant w. B. Arden and Lieutenant
Frank Mccoy.
General Wood said that he would pro-
ceed directly to Washington to report to
President Roosevelt, Pand expected to re-
turn to Cuba on December Z. He said he
had expressed no opinion on the question
of the annexation of Cuba, and to do so
would be impolitic. Matters were quiet
in Cuba and preparations were being made
for the election in February.
"Of course said General Wood there
are a number of people in Cuba who de-
sire annexation, but 1 doubt the possi-
bility of securing a canvass of the ques-
ton The people of Cuba wish to see
their flag floating over MORO Castle, even
if it were only for week.
Dady says the City Council of Havana
by a unanimous. vote gave him the Ha-
vana contract for public improvements
there and that the plans and specifica-
tions are in preparation for presentation
to General Wood, who will consider them
on his return to Cuba.
