Havana, May 29.-Cubans high in authority
are aroused over the persistent efforts by his
enemies TO bring discredit upon General Wood
and his administration as the Military Gov
ernor of Cuba. Several of these have asked that
it be made known the American people
through The Tribune that they are not partici-
pating in the campaign of slander and calumny
against General Woods integrity and ability.
1t is true. unfortunately, that those who would
bring the former Military Governor into dis
repute at Washington Americans who were
disappointed seekers for official favors from
him. Their revengeful attacks have been mani
festly unfair and cowardly. and what casts
doubt upon their a~sertions the facts that
they waited until General Wood had left Cuba
and refuse to make statements over
their own names, and are trying to make it ap
pear that the charges come from the Cubans
The Tribune's correspondent was called this
morning TO one of the government offices by
high official. who said that these stories circu-
lated about General Wood and some of his sub
ordinates are born Of spite and revenge. We
wish he said. Ito disClaim any connection with
them. and repudiate everything which might
tend to create the impression that we approve
of them.
DR. Octavio de Zayas who. as The Tribune
announced some days ago, would be appointed
consul general at New-YOrk, has been selected
by President Palma for the office, and sails for
his post tomorrow by way of Key West. The
first consular representative of the Cuban Re
public at New-York was chosen from a list of
over three hundred applicants. His appoint
ment which will be confirm ed tomorrow, is IN
recognition of his valuable services rendered in
the New York Junta during the revolution. His
salary will be $1,000 A year.
The exodus of Americans continues. Every
berth on the steamer from Havana for New
York to-day was engaged, and many were COM
pelled to wait until Sunday, when the OliVette.
which usually plies between Havana and Key
West will make a special trip north.
When the people Of Havana wake to-mor-
row and loci. c.,t upon the bay they will on
the wreck of the Maine the evidence of thought
fulness and appreciation on the part Of Presi-
dent Palma who ordered this evening that the
wreck which stands as a monument for more
than two hundred brave Americans, be appro-
priatelv decorated to commemorate the day.
American and Cuban flags, garlands of roses
and wreaths will constitute the decorations, and
memorial services will he held in several of the
American churches.

syndicate which some time ago was reported
to be endeavoring to secure control of the Hide

efforts and raising its bid for the stock and that
it purposes, if successful in its attempt at gain
ing control, to reorganize the institution and in
crease its capital stock from S5O0O00 the pres
ent amount. to S50O0000. Whether not the
larger interests. who a few weeks ago declared
their resolve not to part with their stock. have
now changed position could not be ascertained
last night but it is known that several of the
small shareholders have signed agreement TO
sell their holdings at 375 The bid price in the
latest published list of bank stock quotations
was $50.
The syndicate seeking control began it's bid
ding at 200. and has several times raised its
terms 375 being the highest figure yet made.

cate. has never yet been disclosed. The Hide

There will be trapese acts and

the crowd; also band concerts and
music galore.
