General Leonard Wood arrives in Havana as Governor-General of Cuba

General Leonard Wood arrived in Havana in December 1899 to assume the governorship of Cuba under U.S. occupation.

The legacy record specifies the arrival date as 21 December 1899. Supplied sources confirm Wood served as governor from December 1899 to May 1902. The title 'Governor-General' in the legacy row is corrected to 'Military Governor' based on source evidence.
