HOLGUIN, Province of Santiago, Ruba, Feb. 2.—Governor General Wood and his party arrived Wednesday at Baracoa. They spent only two hours there, Insectlng the barracks and the municipal irtiprovements. Then they went to Nlpe bay, 'which place they reached at dark, arriving at Gibara in the morning. Gibara at one time had been considered one of 'the most diffi cult parts of the Island to govern. Now there is not a single soldier sta tioned there. General Rlus Rivera, minister of ag riculture, Industry and commerce, says the growth of order and respect for authority visible in this part of the island,' is a revelation to him. He has never dreamed It possible to effect such a change, and he declared that the city of Santiago was a municipal ity that all the cities of the island should emulate. From being the most •turbulent of the provinces he n-ow considers Santiago de Cuba to be the modt peaceful and the furtherest ad vanced. The fact, he added, that troops were not required to preserve order speaks^ wonders for what the Americans have accomplished. Special trains took the pafity to Hol guin, where Colonel George E. Burton, Inspector general of the division of Cuba, Inspected the members of the Tenth cavalry. .
