Specific CHARGES
AGAINST GENERAL WOOD
E. G. Rathbone Says He Ac
cepted Gifts From a
Gambling Concern

washington, March 2S.--Estes G..
Rathbone, former director general of
posts of Cuba. Saturday filed with the
adiutant general of the army specific
charges against General Leonard
Wood in connection with the latter's
duties as military governor of Cuba.
In brief. Major Rathbone charges that
General Wood manipulated the Cuban
courts, that he received gifts from a
gambling concern amounting to $4,000,
and that the gifts we're admitted into
Cuba free of duty contrary to law.
There is some prospect, 1t is said, that
General Wood may defer his start for
the Philippines and ask for court of
inquiry.
General Wood yesterday placed in
the hands Of the secretary of war a
voluntary statement regarding the
charges and denies that he received
personal gifts. He says that when he
left Cuba the Spanish merchants pre-
sented him with a silver service. which
was admitted free of duty.
