 R R CUBA
SAYS o.<rEMPLATED REDuC- TON OF 20 PER CENT IS INSUF- FlcIENT AND SOMETHING DEF. MITE MUST BE DONE.

Chicago. March 22-Governor-G General tion. of 20 per cent in the Cuban tariff Is not sufficient
 The island is ready now to be turned over to the Cubans." said General Wood to the Tribune's correspondent at Savan- nah where he stopped on his way to Washington from Havana.
 T probably will remain in Cuba a few weeks after the change in government. and we will probably keep a few troops on the island for a time after the change. It seems to be the wish of the Cubans that we do that"
 General Wood says that unless a greater reduction in the Cuban tariff on sugar than 20 per cent Is made a crisis may soon be reached in the island affirs. The peo- pie are depending on the United States giving them a market for their sugar and tobacco. and they have every reason to expect that this government will give them the relief.
 'It is absolutely necessary to the wei fare of the island that the tariff on sugar be reduced not less than thirty-three and one-third per cent. We may as well make up our minds to this if the island Is to prosper, and we are responsible for the future of the island and it's prosperity.
 T do not believe a reduction of thirty three and one-third per cent on Cuban sugar and tobacco would be detrimental to anyone in the United States"

IS VERY ANXIOUS ID
 PROMOTE GENERAL WOOD
President Is Fully Capable of Creating Surprises. and This Has Led to Belief That He Will Take
 Rash Step.
BY WATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, D. c. March 22-(SpeciaD- It is understood here tonight that the President has to an extent calmed down over the Miles espisode and may not for cibly retire Lieutenant General Miles at once as was his first impulse It is fully expected, however, that Miles will not be allowed to serve out his term of active service, and that before a great while the war department will through the President get rid of the commanding general. Under the present army law the rank of Lieutenant General was creat- ed for Miles and with his retirement, without further legislation, the President could not appoint a successor for there would be nothing to which he could sue ceed.
 The President would have power to designate one of the number of corps of generals as General comm anding the army" who to all extent and purpose would be in Miles present position, but with less rank.
 Leonard Wood. who was colonel of the Rough Riders in which Roosevelt was the lieutenant colonel, Is now brigader general and in the order of retirement ranks twelve in relative rank and thirty in order of retirement on the list of gen erals.
 The president is wholly wrapped up In Wood and the appearance of the latter in Washington at this time to discuss Cuban affairs has led to the report that he would be the next commanding gen eral
 President Roosevelt has long since demonstrated that herds fully capable of creating surprises and sensations such as the appointment of Wood wor1d be. Should he do so. however, he v2uld go over the heads of such men as Wheaton, Brooke Chaffee, Macarthur and a long list of others who have spent their lives in the service. In addition Woods con- firm alton by the Senate would be a mat ter of extreme doubt.
 One reason why the President Is so stirred up against Miles at present is that by his testimony the lieutenant general has killed the administrations army bill, and it is doubtful If 1t will ever be report ed from the Senate military affairs com- mittee.
 Army circles incline to the belief that Major General S. M. B. Young, who is now the fourth ranking general would become general commanding should Miles be retired. Young retires January 9, 1904. before the expiration of Roose- velt's term. The President could there fore appoint Young and take care of Wood later which seems more plausible

BURNETT WILL
 HOLD HIS SEAT House Unanimously Adopts
 Report of Committee MASS- -2HEA CASE TAKEN UP Majority Hold That Moss, (Rep.) Was Elected Despite Face of Returns
 In Favor of Rhea (Dem.).
 Will Vote Monday.
MASS S-RHEA CASE TAKEN UP

Washington, March 22.-The House to- day after declaring Representative Bur nett of Alabama entitled to hls seat en- tered upon the consideration of the con- tested election case of Moss vs. Rhea from the third Kentucky district in this case the commission on elections divided on party lines, the majority sustaining the view that MT. Moss had been elected and the minority that MT. Rhea, the Demo- crat was entitled to retain his seat In the face of the returns MT. Rhea had 156 plurality.
 According to the contention of the ma jority certain votes rejected under the Goebel election law would transform this plurality for Rhea into a plurality for Moss of Il. MT. Mann, Illinois and Mir. Smith, Iowa, spoke for the majority to- day and Mir. Burgess, Texas, for the minority An agreement was made whereby the vote shall be taken next Tuesday.
 Before taking up this case the unani- nous report of the committee in the case of Spears vs. Burnett from the Sev- enth Alabama district confirming the ti- tie of the sitting members to his seat was adopted. Several bills of minor inn portance were passed at the opening of the session.
 Bills were passed as follows:
 To authorize the secretary to loan tents for the, use of Knights of Pythias en- campment to be held at San Francisco: to authorize the construction of a life savings station at Ocracoke Island. N C., and to authorize the Kingston and Carolina railroad to construct a bridge across the Nuez river at Kingston, N C.
