NEW YORK. July 81. - Gen. Leonard
Wood, Military Governor Of Cuba, who is

preparing for a cruise along the coast Of
New England. said to-day. in discussing
Cuban affairs:
Cuba is a totally undeveloped island
and has a great future before il. Yellow
fever. in another year, will cease to be
epidemic. We have not had q single case
Of yellow fever at Havana this summer
and none in eastern Cuba for two years
past. Cuba's resources require capital for
development. The last sugar crop was
raised on 5 per cent. of the entire sugar
producing lands. Only this small per-
centage is under cultivation. We have
$1.50J coo i'm our reserve fund and can pay
all our debts and get out of Cuba within
the next eight months. We have estaD-
lished $500 fourishing schools. Two years
ago we were obliged TO provide over one
hundred orphan asylurls TO protect the
destitute children. Since then we have
abolished sixty and expect TO be able to
close more before we retire from the man
agement of Cuban affairs. Our troops
have been well cared for and their health
compares favorably with that of the troops

ment to-day. 1t was taken possession of by
Captain Lemly. judge advocate OF the court
lie refused TO make the letter public or
give out any statement as to its contents.
Ii is understood, however, that Schley takes
exception to and protests against the hfth
clause of the precept, the one in which he
is directly charged with disobedience of
the orders Of the department. The conten-
ton Of the Navy Department as TO this is
that In failing TO coal from GOLFERS or light
ers in the open sea when he first arrived
off Santiago and in starting back to Key
West. Schley ''disobeyed" orders. His ex-
PLANTATION at the time was that the sea was
too rough 10 admit of coaling. but that
after he had proceeded some distance to-
wards Key West it became smooth enough
to permit his vessels TO coal from the col
liers and that they did so, whereupon the
squadron returned to Santiago. Naturally
he denies that ina bility to obey orders con-
stitutes disobedience of orders. "Disobedi-
arce" being defined by Webster as neg
lect or refusal 10 obey" 1t is insisted that
the term "disobeUience' conveys the idea
/ OF WlilIuiintSS ana Is not justly dpDllcdDie
to "A case where the subordinate is unable
from reasons beyond his control to obey
special orders. The Navy Department con-
tends that a failure or omission 10 obey
constitutes "disobedience,' without regard
to the practicabllity or even possibility OF
obeying. Secretary Long is out of town
so that no information can be had as TO
his personal views, but ii is safe TO say
that he adheres to If he did not originate
the popular view of the department as to
what constitutes disobedience.

SCHLEY 4 BRAVE MAN.


NEW YORK. July 31.-The Madrid rep
resentative Of the Journal and Advertiser
has obtained an interview from Captain
Diaz Moreu, who commanded the CristobaI
Colon during the naval conflict off Santi-
ago. Says Captain Moreu. in reference to
the movements of Admiral Schley:
All the American officers, without excep-
ton, did their duty in the naval battle off
Santiago. So did we, although ii is GER
tain that we were vanquished by superiority
of force. 1t is absurd and unpatriotic to
make an exception in the case of Admiral
Schley. 1t is absurd because the Brooklyn
was in the thick Of the fight throughout.
She was at the mouth of the harbor when
We tried to pass out, and engaged US with
a terrific fire. doinS frightful damage to the
end. In the pursuit OF the Cristobal Colon,
we surrendered to the Brooklyn forty-hve
miles west OF Santiago. The Brooklyn was
the first to encounter US as We We're com
ing out, and the first TO lead in the pursuit,
and she kept up the lead. with the Oregon
vastly aiding. The Brooklyn landed a shell
just ahead OF my ship. and. with the Ore
gon helping her, there was nothing left for
me 10 do but run ashore.
The Brooklyn's conduct was brave;
hence Commodore Schley's was brave.
Schiey was on post, where he was put by
Sampson. After the battle commepced each
commander acted according 10 circum-
stances, and events show that the Brook

serves
"Of all the American ships the Brooklyn

OF cowardice probably comes from cCwards.
II nave read IL III Mund Naval that this
attack upon an honorable naval Ofncer has
a low political basis. The navy shOuld be
left outside of politics. Admiral SIMPSONS
own official report is evidence of the
Brooklyn's active part and OF Schley's COM
potency and bravery. The adverse criticism
is obviously an after thought. As & naval

be as sensitive as a woman about its
honor
