American Misgovernment of Cuba in Runcie’s View
Major J. E. Runcie, on duty in Santiago since 1898, argues that Cuban self rule under American oversight has worsened since 1899. He cites corrupt courts, ineffective police, unorganized schools, and bankrupt municipalities, with Cuban officials opaquely serving a political machine while American-run customs and sanitation services show better results. He urges reconsideration of Cuban administration and frames Gen. Woop’s approach as a potential model, while condemning political influence on judicial appointments.
