Havana. April 20. Governor-General
Hiooke, In the dlslilbutlou of the
$.1,000,000 to the Cuban soldleis, has de
tei mined to treat the Cuban olllcers
as soldleis and gentlemen and will not

to be accepted on their face, with tho
eliminations previously cabled, name
ly, the names of those men who en
teied the army after Julv, 1S!)S, and
those of tho men who are m tually
holding olure. Any Cuban named on
tlie list who is identified by his cap
tain will get his shaie. General Go
mez will also probably lecelve a share.
The names ot several American
newspaper coi respondents nie among
the pilvatcs. Those who nro now In
Havana ask that tho word "honorary"
h put after their names, and an
nouiu e that they will not take their

NECESSARY ORDER ISSUED BY
WAR DEPARTMENT.
Those Who Enlisted in tlie Eleventh

ing the Recent visit of Secretary
of War Alger to Porto Rico the
Matter Was Brought to His Atten
tion by the Soldiers.
Special Correspondence of Tlie Tribune.
San Juan, Poito Moo, April 12, '93
"In compliance with verbal Instruc
tions fiom the secretary ot war, all
enlisted men seiving In this depart
ment who are entitled to discharge
fiom the service of the United States
under the provisions of paragraph 2,
General Oideis No 40 Headquaiters
of the Army, A. G. O , series of 1SDS,
as amended by paragraph 1, General
Orders No. 173, Hcadquaiteis of the
Aimy, A. G. O, will, upon their Indi
vidual application bo discharged from
the service of the United States by
their respective company, troop, bat
tery or detachment commandeis."
The above is part of an order re
cently issued fiom the department
headquarters which has ctoated no end
of excitement among the war soldiers,
or as they are better known, "the
rookies" When It Hist became known
that Secietaty Alger was coming to
San Juan, a number ot schemes were
concocted witli a view to seeming an
Interview with so distinguished a per
son. Tho "rookies" had something to
nsk hi 111, nnd they Intended doing so,
whether the means employed were foul
or fair.
A reception was tendered Secretary
Alger on the ev enlng of his ai 1 Ival.and
orders weie given to the gaurds to
allow no one to enter but those who
had been Invited.
SECURED AX INTCRVIUW.
However, notwithstanding all tho
ptecautlons used, a private from Com
pany G, Eleventh Infantry, succeeded
In personally Intel viewing the seo.ro
tar.v's private secretary.
He made an eloquent plea in favor
of those who enlisted for war service
only and asked why the government
still kept them here against their
wishes In a foreign clime, instead of
allowing them to return to theli homes
and the employment they had left.
Peace had long since been uitifled and
according to the terms of their en
listment had been concluded. The re
sult of the interview was that before
Secietary Alger left he had given oi
deis to discharge the recruits.
Secretary of War Russell A. Alger
and party arrived In San Juan at 12 30
o'clock on the afternoon of April S,
having come by special ttain on the
San Juan lallroad. The secretary
lode in the car which was exhibited
at the Columbian exposition. Uut
tcry C, of the Seventh Light Artillery,
Hied the salute of seventeen guns.
Shortly after their arrival the party
diove to the city hall, wheie they wete
entertained at luncheon as the guests
of tho city.
The spacious council chamber. In
which tho tables were arranged, was
beautifully decorated with troplial
foliage and plants. Magnificent pot

After the luncheon, a visit was made
to the various foi ts on thu island of
San Juan and at 4 o'clock a gtand le

which the Eleventh infantry, light a"--tllleiy
and c.n.ilry participated. Fii.in
heie the party drove to the Plaza dt.
Alfonso XII, whete a gland ovation
was g'vm them by the school children.
Sboi t pithy speeches were given, af
ter which the childteu sang In English
the w 01 ds "My Countt v 'Tis of Thee."
.Mi. Alger joined In with the singers,
and at the conclusion of the llitt ete,
hin rah upon lain ah was given. Hats
weie waived, and niativ wete so en
thusiastic as to pli'ee their hats upon
the ends of their eaties, while others
tbiew them way up In the air. Tho
