GEN. WOOD BACK
FOR AN OPERATION
Only Intimate Friends Are
Aware of Its Nature.
NOT INJURY OF THE KNEE
Presence of Mrs. Wood on Hurried Trip
Increases Anxiety as to Nature
of Complaint.
NOT INJURY OF THE KNEE

Gen. Leonard Woods intimate friends
in Washington are feeling some concern
for his health. in consequence of their
knowledge that his hurried return from
the Philippines is due to the necessity
for having an operation performed. 1t
is not a disability of the knee. however
as reported.
His departure from the islands just
at the time Secretary Taft is starting
on a tour OF inspection there, caused
a little speculation as 20 the reasons
underlying such action. When General
Woods attention was called to this
comment. he announced that he expect
ed TO return to the Orient in time to
greet the Taft party in Japan on their
way back to this country in Septem-
ber- They are due to reach San Fran
cisco. October g
Accompanied by Wife.
In order to make the return trip in
time for such meeting in Japan. General
Wood will have to start his journey
back in about six weeks. 1t was not
thought that Mrs. Wood would accom-
pany her husband on such a short trip.
II II We're entirely a matter of official
business. Moreover, Mrs. Wood had in
tended to be the one who should enter
tain Miss Roosevelt while the latter was
in Manila, and her trip here at this time
VIII necessitate the making of other
plans for the entertainment of the Pres
ident's daughter.
General Woods intimates here are
aware that he is suffering from an af-
fection which might become greatly ag-
gravated by delay and on this account
he was urged to come to the United
States at once for treatment It was
represented to him that nothing would
excuse his postponing an operation on
any grounds whatever, official or other
wise. Himself a physician and surgeon,
General Wood realized the danger of
temporizing and arranged his return at
this time.
May Go to Boston.
According to a Chicago dispatch, Gen.
erai Wood will go to Boston TO have
the operation performed. Despite the
possible seriousness of the operation.
his friends here cannot restrain smile
over the explanation offered as to the
cause of his ailment. The report given
currency in Chicago explains it as "a
disa bility of the knee, which: may have
first manifested itself while he was in
Cuba at the head of the Rough Riders,
Rooseyelt's regiment
1t is not denied by army officers that
General Woods activity on foot in Cuba
might have caused some knee trouble
to Il cavalry officer. but they do not
admit that this is the explanation OF
his present disability. 1t is, however,
intimated. in a general way, as COM
plaint aggravated by the recent rough
campaigning which he has conducted
against outlaws in the Philippines.
