Consul Bragg Transferred from
Post at Havana to
Hong Kong.
(By Associated Press

@ WASHINGTON. October s-Edward S.
Bragg, Consul-General at Havana has
been transferred to the post of United
States Consul-General at Hong Kong,
taking the place OF William A. Ruble
who has been transferred to the consul
ate at Havana.
The change in the Havana consulate
general has been In contemplation for
almost three months. It was fully de-
cided that 1t was necessary to make the
change, and the only question was where
General Bragg could be placed without
substantial loss to himself. This has
been done. the Hong Kong place paying
about the same at that at Havana.
Although it is realized that General
Bragg had been guilty of a lack Of judg-
ment at least in allowing to escape from
him a rather contemptuous criticism of
the Cuban people. in view OF the fact
that he was not directly responsible for
its publication, the President decided to
look upon his case with lenient eye.
It was in early July, that General Bragg
wrote letter to his wife at her home
in this country, in which he used this
language:
"Uucle Sam might as well try to MAI
whistle out Of pigs tall as to try
to make something out Of the Latin
race"
The letter was published on July 4th.
In the course of a few days the Cuban
government took notice Of the publica-
ton, for it was repeated in the Havana
newspapers. and asked Mr.. Squires, our
| mister to Havana, II the quotation was
authentic, intimating that II it were 80,
General Bragg had probably DESTROYED
his usefulness at Havana BY direction
OF the State Department Mr.. Squires
called upon General Bragg for an sx-
PLANTATION. He at once admitted the ac-
curacy OF the quotation. but held that
he had a right to write what he pleased
in purely personal letter no his family.

with the General, the State Department
