All Colors of Cubans General Green Says They Will Make Good Soldiers
Assistant Secretary of War Melkejohn released four synopses of Major General Green's Cuba report on recent duties. Green notes Cuban troops vary in color, show resilience despite hunger, and are mostly disciplined under officers. He praises officers as intelligent and well dressed, suggesting native troops could form an effective force with American officers in control, warning disintegration if organized late. He recommends beginning organization soon under proper discipline, noting lack of food and gear threatens stability. Delgado, a noted brigand, is cited as example of potential rural constabulary under discipline. Green estimates 20,000 to 35,000 men could serve, manning half the Cuban forces, while 10,000 to 18,000 would be less suited for soldier life. He envisions farmers and laborers transitioning to quiet work if trained, though homes and fields were decimated by reconcentration.
