tloiiN an
WASHINGTON , Nov. 29. General Leonard
Wood , who reached Washington last night ,
hud a two hours' conference with the secre
tary of war today. After the conference
Secretary Hoot announced that his recom
mendations as to the removal of troops
from Cuba had been approved and that
orders would bo Isaued putting them Into
effect.
Gtncral Wood said that In his oolnlon all
the rumors of impending trouble In Cuba
were groundless , that there was no real oros-
pccc of a revolt and that whatever friction
and discontent did exist among the Cubans
were duo to the recent talk of a civil governor
for the Island. When askpd about the re
port of hlfi selection for this nosltlon. Gen
eral Wood said :
"I do not know n thine about It. I have
heard nothlne of the plan for a civil Gover
nor , except what 1 have seen In the papers.
It has not been offered to mo and I have
not been asked for any sugKcatlons on the
subject. Whatever discontent mav have
arisen amonc the Cubans on this eublcct
grows , I think , from their misunderstanding
of the term 'civil governor. ' I rather take
It that they understand It to mean perman
ent American covcrnment for the Island.
This Is only speculation , however , for I hoard
nothing of these rumors In Cuba before I
left.
\o DniiKor of nit Outbreak.
"I can epcak of my own department. There
Is no Indication of trouble there. On the
contrary we have had turned In over 9.000
rifles. Addlnc to these arms that have been
retained for the rural guard and the cuna
that some of the natives have keot for the
protection of their own homes In the out
lying districts , I think you will account for
all the arma In the province. "
When asked If there was nnv possibility
of an outbreak among the rural guard. Gen
eral Wood said : "No more than there Is of
an Insurrection among the police force In
Was-hington. "
Concerning his mission to Washington , he
said It was merely for consultation about
the reduction of the American force In the
Island. "I have recommended a reduction
of about 20 per cent of the force in mv de
partment , " said General Wood. "That Is to
say , the recall of the Fifteenth infantry and
a squadron from each of the cavalrv recl-
mcnts. I think this Is porfcctlv feasible.
When I say that Santiago Is quiet It is a
pretty fair Indication of the condition
throughout the Island. Everv revolution that
has started there has started in Santraco
province and In the last war 70 per cent of
the troops were drawn from that province. "
Regarding the general conditions In
his department. General WooJ said that
j ' they were favorable , that the courts were
i being administered under -as mild an Amer
ican supervision as was .consistent with
keeping them diligently at work and pre
venting delays In the administration of
justice. The people were being kept re
minded that ! n case of palpable maladminis
tration , through reversion of the old Spanish
methods , they alwaja had the right to
appeal and have any matter thoroughly In-
veauBuieu. i-eupie were ocing employed
and the detailed reforms of , tlip petty courts
and the lower school systen were things
Uhat < would come eventually 'through pa
tient work and local education.
Slntcil to Succeed Sturulierir.
It Is stated that the president has de
cided on the reward to be allotted to General j
Wood when his term of service In Cuba Is j I
over. It Is said pn good authority that !
General Wood Is glated to succeed Geargo I
N. Sternberg as surgeon genera or the
army when the latter retires by law In
June of the coming year. It hes been re
ported several times that General Wood
would receive a brigadier generalship , as
ho is urged for this by some of his friends
In recognition of his1 services in the Santiago I :
campaign and afterward as governor of that' ' j
province. The president has been lapllned
to bestow some substantial recognition upon
him. but It Is well understood that a gen- ' '
oral's commission of thd line would cause a I
great deal of feeling among the officers of
the establishment , a great many of whom ,
are General Wcod's seniors by many yeirs , i
The same objection may hold to a leaser
extent In the medical staff , but It Ie urged
by the friends of General Wocd that he has
proved himself eminently capable in ad- !
mlnlstratlve work. It Is said that when ho
was last In Washington the matter was
talked over between him and the president
and that General Wood was offered the plao
and accepted It , although his preference was
for n place In the line. This was at the
time he refused a very Haltering offer from
the street railway syndicate here , a refusal
hardly likely from a staff captain unless
with a very definite prospect of future
preferment In view.
The surgeon generalship would place General -
oral Wood at the head of the medical staff
of the American army at but little ever 35 .
years of age , making him the youngest ofll- ,
cer ever holding this responsible pc-jltlon. I
It would leave him twenty-five years of I
active service , If ho so desired , in a pcsl- j
lion carrying with It great prestige In the
profession , both at home and abroad.
General Wood ha taken a hotiso In Wash
ington , Xo. 1018 Uhodo Island avenue ,
where ho has moved with his family , and
It IB thought that this. Is another Indica
tion that he will make his permanent res
idence hero at no very distant date.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 29. A scries of ex
periments which have been carried on for
florae time past by the Agricultural depart-
ment have recently developed a new use
for cornstalks from which a very valuable
horse and cattle food can now be made. The
department has done a great deal of work
with cornstalks in the past year and has
developed several valuable uses for them ,
namely , cofferdam packing for war ships , a'j '
high grade cf wilt'ng paper , tha basis for
a smokeless powder superior to the picric
acid powders , and ( several other uses ,
The new cattle food Is-made by grinding
the dry cornstalks , leaves and tops to a
powder and mixing it with blood or molasfes
or both. This Is pressed Into cakea under
a. hydraulic press and can bo shipped as
easily as bricks or cordwood. For feeding
it is broken up nnd mixed with water. j
Actual tests have been made at experiment
( stations and samples have besn sent to
agricultural stations In Europe. The re
ports from all sources are very encouraging.
It Is said nt the department that this /ood / !
will be particularly valuable for our cav- ' \ ,
airy In the tropics and that the food cakes
can be made at a minimum cost In Cu' a
and the southern states , where thousands' '
of tons of low grade molossss go to wa'te |
annually , and where the cane refuse ground
fine forms almost as satisfactory an absorb
ent base as cornstalks. The cost of making |
the food cakes under favorable conditlns
uould be from $10 to $12 per ton , and their
value on a nutritive basis would be from
? 22 to $23.
