Important Order Concerning Return
of PrisOners-Deaths from Yell
low Fever at Havana.

HAVANA, Jan. 3.-To-day General Wood
issued important order giving freedom
to forty men in the province of Santa
Clara. Some of them had been detained
without trial and others were suffering ex-
cessive punishment. All had been released
ten months before by an order Issued by
General Bates. but they were Immediately
rearrested by orders from division head
quarters on the ground that a department
commander did not have the power to par
don. After looking carefully into the cases
General Wood decided that the judgment of
General Bates regarding their release was
wise. and consequently to-day's order set
ting them at liberty was promulgated. Re-
ports from other departments are daily ex-
pected. and it is believed that before the
end of the month a large number will be
released, especially in the province of Ha-
vana. The cases of those who have been
held for a long time in detention without
trial will be the first to be Investigated.
The Council Of Notables, as General

bans Is called, held morning session to-
day, at which General Wood was present

On jan 1 of this year there We're twenty
five cases under treatment. To-day there
ably diminish the number. This record
does not compare favorably with the rec
ords prior to the revolution, although the
sanitary authorities claim that the increase
of mortality is due to the fact that an un-
usually large number of Spanish immi-
grants have arrived during the last few
months.
The people OF Sancti Spiritus held large
public meeting to-day to express satisfac-
ton at the appointment of General Wood
as Governor of the island and at his selec-

garded as capable Of helping General Wood
materially in establishing a permanent
form of government.

Supreme Court Hands Down Opinion In

Supreme Court Hands Down Opinion In
Des Moines Electric Light Case.
Dies MONIES, Jan. 1.-THE supreme
court handed down a decision in the
Des Moines municipal electric light
case, which is considered by municipal
ownership advocates a severe blow to
their hopes in this city. The city of
Des Moines contracted for the building
Of municipal electric light plant and
was enjoined against carrying out the
contract. The contract anticipated the
revenues, providing that payments
should be made each year until the
plant was paid for, when it should be-
come city property. The payments
were no larger than the amount the
city had previously paid annually for
light. The supreme court, however,
holds that a city cannot anticipate its
revenues in this way to provide a plant,
if the total anticipated liabilities places
the debt above the constitutional limit,
which it did in this case. The contract
was especially drawn to avoid this con-
stitutional prohibition, and municipal
ownership advocates say the decision
will practically make municipal owner
ship of utilities impossible in Iowa un.
less the constitution can be changed.

BoER ATTACK REPULsED.
Assai1 Strong Position Held by York

Assai1 a Strong Position Held by York
shires and New Zealanders.
RENsBERG, Cape Colony, Jan. IL
The Beers yesterday attempted to rush
hill held by company of the York
shires and the New Zealanders, but they
were repulsed at the point of the bay
onet. The Beers had 21 men killed and
about so wounded.
The hill commands tract of country
east Of the main position of the Beers
and they had determined to make an
attempt to seize the heights. They ad-
vanced cautiously, directing their fire at
small wall held by the Yorkshires and
compelled the latter to keep close under
cover. When the Beers rushed the
wall the Yorkshires fixed bayonets and
charged. Just at that moment Captain
Maddocks, with small party Of New
Zealanders came up, and the combined
force leaped over the wall and charged
straight for the enemy, who fled, fol-
lowed by whitening fire at close range.
The Beers literally tumbled over each
other in their hurry to escape, but the
persistent fire of the British inflicted a
heavy loss.
Desultory firing continued for some
time, but the attack was an utter fail
ure, and the Beers retreated to the shell
ter of the small kopjes at the base of
the hill.
