CUBANS PLEASED
WITH GEN. WOOD
They Are Now Satisfi d That tie United
States Will K ,ep It's Promise
of Indep p9ndence.

Havana, Dec. 24.-The events Of the
last few days have had great effect
on Cuban politics. The circumstances
attending the arrival of General Wood
and the departure of General Brooke,
taken with the speech of the former at
the farewell banquet to the latter, IN
which the intentions Of the United
States government were restated, have
satisfied the Cubans that Cuba will
certainly be independent within reas-
enable time.
More than this, the arrival and pub
lie and private utterances of Horatio
Rubens have increased the restful feel
ing that now apparently exists among
all classes Mr.. Rubens has, without
doubt. considerable influence. Wherev-
er he goes he is cheered by the people;
his room at the hotel Is thronged with
Cuban officials seeking an interview,
and altogether he is regarded some
what In the light of an oracle.
Every influence is being brought to
bear to stop the proceedings against
the custom house appraisers now un-
der arrest on charges of fraud. The
Judges, the supreme court and many
other important officials are related to
the persons under suspicion. General
Wood says that if the appraisers are
guilty they must be punished, no mat
ter who is hurt. If the relationship to
.Ae Iuuse Is sucH DIS 10 ulsQuallIy the
latter from giving them an impartial
trial, judge or judges from some other
province will be assigned to try them
General Wood declares that if judges
decline to perform their duties they
will be impeached in Cuba, Just as
they would be anywhere else.
The Patria, commenting upon GEN
eral Woods remarks at the farewell
dinner to General Brooke says:
1T was most satisfactory speech,
with pleasing military simplicity
Obviously the United States govern
ment intends to fulfill the terms OF
the joint resolution and General Wood
is the man selected as the instrument
for this task"

THE FENIANS AGAIN.
Pro-Boer Agitation Liable to Cause q
Reorganization.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 24.--The Bee will
say tomorrow: There is something
more than a likelihood that the pro-
Boer agitation now SO general through
out the United States will lead to the
resuscitation of the once celebrated or
ganization among Irish-Am mericans
known as the Fenians. which planned
and executed an invasion of Canada In
1866 out of hatred of England for the
wrongs that for 700 years had been
inflicted upon Ireland. Intimations
have reached Omaha from other cities
than an address calling for a renewal
of the Fenian organization and the
Clan-na-Gael had been sent out from
this city to enthusiastic IriSh-Ameri
cans in other places, but inquiry among
prominent Irishrnen failed to disclose
the identity of any persons who may
have sent out such an address. AS
far as could be learned there are no
organized branches of the societies
named in this city, although there are
some men IN Omaha who were proud
Of their membership in the Fenian or
gauiZation. Inquiry, however. did de-
velop the fact that there is some sort
of secret movement on foot among the
Irish enthusiasts in this and neigh
boring cities, which has for its objects
some decisive steps of a more belllger-
Rnt character toward England than a
simple declaration of sympathy for the
Ppers far away in South Africa. The
movement here will be inaugurated by
a meeting to be held next Sunday when
some measures are expected to be ta-
ken. One Of the leaders, a prominent
Irish American, of this city, speaking
of the matter to-day, said:
There are in Omaha to-day a respec-
table number of Irishmen who are
ready to go to the front, and they don't
care whether it is to the Transvaal or
to Canada, so long as the same end
can be accomplished. More will be
known after the meeting next Sun
day; there will be a great deal Of work
done by those on the inside between
now and that date, the nature of which
] cannot tell you. 1t will be done sec
retly There will be wheels within
wheels and more than one Oreaniza-
ton of Irishmen will be involved"
Conferences with number of irish
men, who pretended at least that they
knew nothing of the movement, dis
closed the fact that the conviction is
quite general among them that there

mony at st Peters.


Rome, Dec. 24.-The pope solemnly

to the Sistine chapel in the Vatican
palace, where Were gathered reprasen-
tatives of the Roman religious orders

After a. brief prayer before the holy
sacrament a few moments of solemn
silence followed, the pope and the papal
dign1taries in their state robes being
grouped before the door Then the lat

door posts with holy water while Leo
opened the psalm "Jubilate Deo,"
which was taken up by the pontifical
choir The pope having covered his
head and holding In his right hand a
crucifix and in his left lighted can
die, knelt at the Threshold amid the
strains of the TIE Deum. Rising to his
feet, he stepped alone within the por-
tails of the vast and empty basilica.
The cardinals and others followed.
At this moment all the church bells
in Rome rang out. Leo stopped be-
fore the altar of Michael Angelo, where
the janitors of the holy door for the
coming year kissed his feet. He adj
dressed few words to them on the
Importance Of the ceremony and then
proceeded to the altar, where the sac
rament was offered. followed by a
short prayer. Then borne on the Soda
gestatoria to the high altar, he pro-
nounced solemn benediction accord
ing to the plenary indulgences
By quarter past 1 he had returned
to his private apartments, having per-
formed the ceremonies with great ap-
parent satisfaction. He was smiling
throughout but grew pale and showed
signs of fatigue towards the end.
Nevertheless, he gave three blows upon
the door with considerable force.
Profound silence was maintained
throughout the ceremony save when
the pope gave his blessing which
evoked loud vivas. The weather was
fine and an enormous concourse as
sembled in the precinct of the basilica
Order was preserved inside by the
Pontifical guards and outside by the
Royal Carbineers and the police.
