Show WOOD TO SUCCEED BROOKE. Will be to All Farposca the Civil Governor of Cuba. Washington, Dec. 9. General Leonard Leon-ard Wood had a conference with the secretary of war yesterday respecting his future. While neither of the principals prin-cipals had anything to say for publication publica-tion as to the conclusions reached, it is gathered that General Wood is to be the next governor of Cuba, succeeding General Brooke, who will return to the United States. It is expected the military force in Cuba can be greatly reduced in the near future, so that while General Wood by commanding the troops remaining re-maining will be a military governor, th ere will be so little left of the military mili-tary establishment that his office will be much more civil than military in fact. The regulations in force will enable the department to withdraw some or perhaps all of the general officers offi-cers now in Cuba. j |
