General Wood requests a correction to an editorial that appeared in the New York Sun. The editorial states that Mr. Bellaires was transferred from Santiago to Havana at Wood’s request. Wood denies this and only found Bellaires to be “honest and fair.” He believes that Melville Elijah Stone is confusing two separate incidents and presents evidence to support his position.
