which has bee; arranged for by the treaty
with Cuba. it is felt, however. that there
disappears the only sound objection that
could have been urged against the crea-
ton of modern Gibraltar at Guanta-
namo-that is. the difficulty of defending
the station from a land attack in the
read, supposing u hostile European
army to have been landed elsewhere In
Cuba.
Therefore orders have been issued for
a visit to the naval station of five officers
of high rank, representing both services
with the purpose of finally approving OF
amending the elaborate plans of defense
which have been prepared by the joint
board upon data furnished by the army
and navy war colleges. The party will
consist of Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief
