RESTFCL FEELING EXISTS.
Remarks of General Wood Taken to
Mean Early Independence.

Mean Farly lhuepouoehcc'
HAVANA, Dec. .6.-The events of the
last few days have had great effect on
Cuban politics. The circumstances at
tending 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 a rea-
sonahle time. More than this the ar
rival and public and private utterances
of Horatio Rubens have increased the
restful feeling that now apparently ex-
lists among all classes. Mr. RuOens has
without doubt considerable influence.
Wherever he goes he is cheered by the
people. and altogether he Is regarded
somewhat in the light Of an oracle.
Saw. the Guilty Must BE Punished.
Every influence is being brought to
bear to stop the proceedings against the
customhouse appraisers now under ar
rcst on charges of fraud. The judges.
the supreme court and many other i'm
nortant officials are related to the per-
sons under suspicion. General Wood
saws that If the appraisers are guilty
thev must be punished, no matter who
is hurt, If their relationship to the
iulr.s is such as to disqualify the latter
from giving them an impartial trial, a
iudre or Judges from some other prov
;ncr will be assigned to try them. Cen
sr,l Wood declares that if judges de-
cline to perform their duties they Will
be inpeachcd in Cnba. just as they
would be anywhere else.
