Recent Events Have Quilted Them
Considerably.
The Case of the Custom
House Appraisers.
Gen. Wood Says They Will Sure
ly Be Tried.

Havana, December 2i.-Ths events OF
the last few days have had great effect
on Cuban politics. The circumstances at
tending the arrival Of General Wood and
the dep Arturo of General Brooke, taken
with the speech OF the foi mer ut the fare
well tanquet to thealatter, have satisfied
the Cuhans that Cupa wilt certainly be
independent within o reasonable time
More than this, the arrival and public
have increased the restful feeling that
now apparently exists amosg all classes.
Mr.. Rubsns has, without doubt consider
able influences.
Every influence is being brought to
bear to stop the proceedings against the
custom house appraisers now under ar.
rest on charges of fraud. The judges, Of
the supreme court, fiscal and many other
important officials are related to the per-
sons under suspicion. General Wood says
tt at IL the appraisers are guilty they
must be punished, no matter who Is
hurt. If their relationship to the judges ID
such as to disquslify the latter from
giving them an impartial trial, judge
Ut judges from other provinces will be as
signed to try them. General Wood de-
clares that If judges decline TO perform
their duties, they will tie impeached IN
Cuba. just as they would be anywhere
else.
The Patria, ting upon General
Woods rem arKs at the fare well dinner to
General Brooke, rays: ait was a most
satisfactory speech with pleasing mill
tary simplicity. Obviously the United
States government intends to fulHn the
terms OF the joint resolution and General
Wood Is the man selected as the instru-
mept for this task"

from his personal property and this he

nothing concerning his father 5 affairs
and was not authorized to speak for him,
