MATTERS IN CUBA.
Gen. Wood Gives Freedom to Forty
Prisoners in Santa Clara.
LAST YEARS YELLOW FEVER REPORT
Tho Record Said Not to Compare Favor
ably with Records Prior to the Rsvoiu-
ti0n -Excitsm ant vt santiHgo--A
Crisis I. Imminent.

Havana, Jan. 4.-Yesterday Gen
Wood issued an important order Civ
ing freedom to 40 men in the pro.
vince of Santa Clara. Some of them
had been detained without trial and
others were suffering excessive pun
ishment. Reports from other depart
ments are daily expected, and it is
believed that before the end Of the
month a large number will be re-
leased, especially ir the province Of
Havana.
The yellow fever report for 1899
shows 1903 deaths in Havana, which
means that SO persons have died Of
the disease since Gen. Ludlows re-
port was issued at the end OF August
last. During the month of December
there were 70 new eases, Of whom 22
died. On January ] Of this year
there were 25 cases under treatment
To-day there are II. The cold
weather will probably diminish the
number. This record does not com
pare favorably with the records prior
to the revolution. although the sani-
tary authorities claim that the in
crease of mortality is due to the fact
that an unusually large number Of
Spanish immigrants have arrived dur
ing the last few months.
A CrIsis Thought imminent.
Santiago de Cuba, Jan. 4.-The
news of the conference at Havana be-
tween Gov. Gen Wood and the Cuban
leaders, including Gen. Jose Miro, of
this province, has provoked consid-
cradle excitement here. Yesterday
evening the clubs ana cafes were
crowded with politicians discussing
the situation with more or less yiO-
lcnce and declaring their devotion to
Gen. Miro. The violent Cuoan par
tisans say crisis is imminent which
will decide whether Cuba Is to be
American or Cuban, but the possi-
bility of any serious trouble is rldi-
culcd by the American officials and
by the foreigners.
