Governor General Talks About
Affairs In the Island
SAYS ALL IS HARMONIOUS
Make Hurried Trip to This Country for
lurpimo of Introducing to IMldent Me
Kluley the II e Mtiubar of the Cuban
Coinmliolon
New York April 24 General Leon
ard A Wood governor general of
Cuba with Mrs Wood and his pri
vate secretary arrived liere last night
General Wood oxpeetB to return to
Havana tomorrow General Wood did
not hesitate to talk about affairs In
Cubn
The object of my hurried visit here
lie said Is to lntroduee the live mem
bers of the spcelnl commission on for
eign relations appointed by the Cuban
constitutional convention to see Presi
dent McKlnley The members of the
commission represent all the different
RToups of Cubnho composing the eon
rdltutlonnl convention They have
come to the United States for the pur
pose of conferring with President Mc
Klnley on mntters which the conven
tion does not thoroughly understand
and when they return and make their
report I am convinced there will be
a thorough understanding
The constitutional convention hns
never voted on or rejected the Flntt
amendment This I enn state posi
tively notwithstanding the reports to
the contrnryj which have been sent to
the United States from Havana
Things hnve been cabled here which
liad not the slightest foundation In
fact which described strained rela
tions between the representatives of
the United States and the Cuban peo
ple Evrythlng hns been hnrmonious
since I went to Cubn and the conven
tion now In session Is a thoroughly
representative one Before the Piatt
amendment was passed by congress
the Cubans knew the desires of the
government which the amendment
contains Intervention and the estab
lishment of nnvnl stations are the two
things which they dont properly com
prehend and I think that when they
are fully explnlneu In Washington
the only Indication of a difference of
opinion will hnve been removed
There are really but two great ques
tions yet to be settled One is the re
duction of the duty on sugar and the
other Is the pnssage of the constitu
tion One Is economic and the other
political yet in a measure they are
akin After the constitution has been
properly framed and adopted the eco
nomic question will disappear as there
must be a groat reduction in the duty
on sugar Then Cuba will be pros
perous and its relations with the Unit
oil States settled on a solid basis
Thnt will end the whole difficulty and
In 24 hours the country can bo turned
over to the representatives chosen by
the Cuban people Today nil the de
partments of the island nre practically
In the hands of the Cubans who have
been Instructed as to how things can
be managed and when the time ar
rives all we will hnve to do Is to take
a receipt of the money on hand
