Keep Grip on Cuba.

Brigadier General Leonard Wood, governor of Cuba, arrived in Washington Friday evening and dined at the white house with President Roosevelt. Secretary Root was also present at the dinner. Governor Wood’s mission is to discuss with the president and Secretary of War Root certain features of our occupation of Cuba and the disposition of United States troops following the inauguration of the new Cuban government in May next. It Is now nearly definitely settled that not all of these troops will be withdrawn to the United States when the Cuban government is formally installed.
