that passed upon Woods nomination to
be major general in the army in 1903,
raises an interesting question: Where
was Wood during the hard fighting at
San Juan Hill and Kettle Hill on the
first day of the battle of Santiago?
Gen. James Fl. wilson who testified
before the committee Dec. s, 1908, discuss
ing this question, said
Later had another interview with
Mr.. Roosevelt, after he had been elected
vice president of the United States, at
his home at Sycamore Hill. He
began in rather extravagant terms of
praise of Gen. Wood, whereupon 1 said
to him:
"'Gov. Roosevelt I think you are per-
haps mistaken about that. If am cor
rectly informed, Gen. Wood never was
under fire in his life until the Spanish
war began, either in the Geronimo cam
paign or at any other time. In the Span
ish war he was never In but one battle,
and that at Las Guasimas. where, but
for his rescue and support by the col
ored troops, he would have been badly
handled
"'Oh. yes said Mr.. Roosevelt; he
was at San Juan. To which I replied,
1 beg your pardon, he was not. You
know that he was In the rear looking
for ammunition
REQUESTED NOT
TO TELL ANYBODY.
Yes he said, but do not tell any
body Now, why ne did not want me to
tell anybody I do not know"
Secretary Of War Elihu Root testified
before the committee on the last day OF
the hearings and stated that President
Roosevelt had informed him that Gen.
Wilson was mistaken.

Gen. Wilson Testifies.
RECORDS GIVEN AIRING

WASHINGTON. March 5.-Barring the
incident in the Indian campaign of 1885,
for which he was awarded the medal
now being made the subject of wide
criticism, the military record of Gen.
Leonard Wood, called heroic by his ad-
mirers, is confined, according to his
critics. solely to his activities during the
war with Spain.
Wood is recorded as present at two
actions: Las Guaslmas and San Juan
Hill
His critics say that at Las Guasimas,
but for bis rescue and support by the
colored troops. his command might have
been wiped out.
At San Juan. Gen. James H. Wilson
stated that Wood, during the hard fight
ing. was "in the rear. looking for ammu-
nition," and Col. Roosevelt records the
fact that he sent messenger after mes

OF the actual assault and capture of the
two San Juan hills by infantry and cav

knew that Wood was present at the
battle OF Santiago; that the records of
the war department prove that he was.
Soon after Root gave this testimony, the
war department called upon the late Col.
J. Fl. Dorst to state what he knew as
to Woods whereabouts on the occasion
in question, and, Col. Dorst responded
with statement showing exactly where
Wood was. and what he was doing dur
ing the assault ard capture of San Juan

The records of the war department
were never produced to back up Roots
