As a result of the reanalysis of the OGLE-I observations by means of the image subtraction method, we present the first part of a catalog, consisting of the data for variable stars in four Galactic fields observed by the OGLE-I, viz. MM1-A, MM1-B, MM7-A, and MM7-B. In total, 2016 variable stars have been found. This increased the number of known variable in these fields stars more than twofold. We comment on the detectability of the variable stars in previous studies. Some interesting findings are also discussed. Among others, we found 45 Delta Scuti stars (38 are new) including several multiperiodic objects. Detailed analysis of the light curves of 47 RR Lyrae stars (24 are new detections) allowed us to find five stars which exhibit nonradial pulsations and one RRd star. Three RRab stars are members of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy (Sgr dSph). We also find four objects which are probably galactic RV Tauri stars and one W Virginis star which seems to belong to Sgr dSph. This is the first Population II Cepheid found in this satellite galaxy and dSph other than the Fornax one. For eclipsing EW-type binaries, which are the most abundant variables in our catalog, we investigate the amplitude and period distributions. A comparison with the previous OGLE-I catalogs indicates that we found more stars with smaller amplitudes. Finally, in addition to the two microlensing events discovered previously in these fields, we find five more.
