DEFENDS HIS ACTION.
General Wood Talks Regarding Ex-
penditure of Cuban Funds.

Boston, June 14.-During his visit
to this city General Leonard Wood,
former governor general of Cuba, ex-
pressed himself in no uncertain terms
regarding the alleged irregularity in
the expenditure of Cuban government
funds in the interest of reciprocity.
He declared that, acting as trustee for
the island, he had spent the money to
good purposes and had simply done
what any good administrator would do
in like circumstances.
Commenting on President Roose-
velt's special message to congress on
reciprocity with Cuba, General Wood
spoke of it with the highest terms.
Of the situation in Cuba General
Wood said:
There is nothing in connection
with my administration of Cuban af-
fairs that I wish to cover up. Talk of
investigation is welcome to me. Every
expenditure that was made was free
and above board.
$50 far as l can see there was moth
ing new brought out by the testimony
of Mr.. Thurber. 1t perhaps accentu-
ated little the needs of Cuba as re-
CARDS reciprocity with this country.
81 was acting as a trustee for Cuba.
simply used Mr.. Thurber's mailing
list as the best means of distributing
the literature on reciprocity, and this
was we'll known before the eXamina-
tion of Mr.. Thurber by the senate sub
committee. In my opinion the opposi-
tion to tariff reciprocity with Cuba has
proceeded upon lines of misapprehen-
sion. l took it upon myself to place
the facts before the people of the Unit
ed States as l saw them. There seemed
to be no one else to undertake the task.
What | did l considered best for the
industrial salvation of the island. The
reason that 1 took up with Mr.. Thur
Der was that he represented $4,000
thinking people in this country.
dealt with him simply as bureau OF
information and through him distrib-
uted the information l wanted to place
before the American people. My posi-
tion was identical with that of the
trustee of an estate who finds it in
cumbent upon himself to refute unjust
claims upon the estate upon which he
is called to administer. Any man
would be false to his trust who did
not do all in his power to contest such
claims, and that is all did.

cUBA'S NEED is URGENT.
President Roosevelt's Special Mes.
sage to Congress.


Washington, June 14.-The presi-
dent has sent message to congress in
regard to Cuban reciprocity plainly
stating his position in the matter and
advocating the plan for a reduction of
duty on Cuban imports into this coun-
try.
After calling the attention of con-
gress to the recommendation for
substantial reduction of the tariff on
Cuban imports made in his message
last December, the president quotes
an appeal from President Palma to
the United States minister to Cuba,
asking for legislative relief before it
Ia too late and the country financially
ruined.
The president maintains that the
reasons for granting reciprocity to
Cuba far outweigh those of granting it
to any other nation. The United
exceptional footing and should, there
fore, be willing to do as much for the
infant republic. 1t is also to our ad-
vantage as a nation that the Cuban
market should be controlled by Amer
nation, are obligated to complete the
WOTh we nave CdrTlGu 50 uSdT IO GULL
pletion.
The president asserts that the grant
ing of reciprocity stands alone, and
the question as to which of the differ
ent schedules of the tariff ought most
properly to be revised does not enter
into the matter in any way or shape.
The president opposes the rebate plan
and stands squarely for reduction of
the duty on all imports coming from
Cuba. In answer to the argument
that the substantial benefit will not
go to the producer he says provisions
can and should be made to guard
against that possibility.

LemIy May Be Retired.

Washington, June 14.-It is not
probable that when Captain Lemly,
the present judge advocate general of
the navy, comes before the promotion
board in the regular course to pass
his examination as a commander, he
will be found in such physical condi-
tion that he may be obliged to retire.
He has been in impaired health for
some time past and has suffered do
nestle Affections which have added to
his physical troubles, predisposing
him to retirement at an early date.

cRoZIER's NOMINATION.
Senate Spends Entire Day in Its Con-
sideraton.

Washington, June 14.-With the ex-
ception of few minutes devoted to
the reading of the presidents message
and the time necessary to confirm two
nominations at the beginning of the
session, the senate spent the entire
day in considering the nomination Of
Captain William Crozier to be chief
of the bureau of ordnance. The prin-
cipal speeches of the day were made
by Senators Cockrell and Proctor, the
former favoring the confirmation and
the latter opposing that course. Sen
ator Foraker made brief address
favoring confirmation. The session
adjourned without the senate reaching
a conclusion on the question and no
day was fixed for continuing considera.
tion owing to pressure of other mat
ters. Captain Crozier's confirmation
is generally conceded by his oppo-
uents.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
BOTH SIDES OF CUBAN coNTRo-
VERSY CLAIM TO BE BENE.
FITTED.
SITUATION rs UNCHANGED

Advocates of Reciprocity Claim 1t
Will Bring Some of the Beet Sugar
Republicans Into Line and the Lat
ter Claim That 1t Has Caused Them
No Loss Whatever-caucus Will
Probably Be Held Soon.
Washington, June 1.-THE presi-
dents reciprocity message has given
senators a live topic of conversation,
but so far as is yet apparent there is
no change in the situation. There was
a disposition on the part Of the leaders
on both sides of the controversy to
claim, when speaking publicly, some
advantage from the message. The
straight reciprocity men urged that
the effect would be to cause at least
some of the beet sugar Republicans to
abandon their opposition. They con-
tend that many of them had misunder-
stood the attitude of the president,
and now that this has been made clear
there could be no longer excuse for
opposing straight reciprocity meas
ures. The message, they argued,
would clear the atmosphere, render
the presidents attitude unmistakeable
and therefore bring opponents within
the party face to face with the fact
that in continuing their opposition
they are antagonizing the official head
of the party. I'VE have known all the
time where the president stood on
this subject and have told the Repub-
ican opponents Of reciprocity just
what the facts are" said a leading
reciprocity senator. They refused to
accept our assurance and professed to
have expressions from the president to
the contrary. The message confirms all
that we have said to them. 1t clears
the atmosphere and necessarily the re-
suit must be beneficial for reciproc-
ity bill"
The beet sugar leaders declared at
the close of the day that the message
had caused no loss whatever to them
and that all those senators who had
stood with them heretofore are still
with them. They also asserted that
the presidents interposition in the
matter had had the effect of causing
some senators to decide who hereto
fore had not taken a positive stand
against reduction because Of the feel
ing that the president should leave
congress to deal with the subject in
its present stage. Senator DIETRICH
was among the most outspoken Of the
beet sugar men and he made an un.
successful effort to secure the atten-
ton of the chair after the reading Of
the message. Those who are in his
confidence say that it was his purpose
to move for the discharge Of the COM
mittee from the further consideration
of the house bill in order to permit
the immediate consideration of that
measure.
There is still more or less canvass
ing of the wisdom of holding a Re-
publican caucus and 1t is probable that
ultimately one will be held, but no
date is now mentioned.
