Santiago.
Havana, June IS. Governor Geneial
P-iooke In an olllclnl letter to General
Maximo Gomez sa.. In i elation to the
pajment of the Ameilcan gratultj.
"In the dlstllbutlon of the money I
have noticed that many men whose
nnnus nie not on the rolls claim to
belong to the Cuban army. As gov
ernor geneial I lpcoinniend ou to take
the neci'ssaiy steps to uscertnln If they
haven light to ti petition of the, $1,000.
000, und heieby authorise ou to make
what arrangements you think pioper
to cany out the plan of dlstllbutlon,
with the lden In view that 1 wish no
man who served in the unity under
pi opt r conditions to be deprived of his
just dues."
Geneial Gomez subseeiuenlly pub
lished u short proclamation, in which
he says
' In spite of my pioposition to sepa
rate myself completely fiom political
affalis, I feel it a moral duty to oc
cupy myself with nil that pel tains to
our hemic soldiers in confcienco with
Governor Geneial Iliooke yesteiday,
he informed me that under present
conditions some Cuban soldleis who
wish to collect their sbaie of the money
diluted by the 1'nlted States govern
ment for the payment of the tioops
are unable to do so, because their
names do not appear on the lists. This
should be c hanged o as to enable thpse
men to leeeivc their quota, which they
need and deserve.
"For this I am nuthoilzcd to take
the niensuies needed: and, In conse
quenc e. I have adv sed all the c hlefs
to send mm o infoimatlon. Including
every detail obtainable. If thej think
as I do The soldiei.s need our decided
piotec tion "
A Peaceful Precaution.
Judges ol the situation consider that
after the payment of the Cubans has
been concluded tluoughout the Island
a measuip piohlblting the carrying of
lliearms without u license explicitly
stating the natuie of the arms and the
renson why the license Is Issued will
be adopted The secietnry of Justice Is
making inciuiiics in the difTeient prov
inces and within the next few weeks
will submit a pinpou! for such a
measuie to Geneial Urooke, and theie
Is no doubt that he will favor it and
that the order will be favored bv all
tne law-abiding people of the island.
Provision will lx mnde for tho use
of arms for hunting, the protection ot
isolated places, etc It Is expected,
however, that the cafe politicians will
see in the measuie a. deep-laid plot to
deprive the Cubans of theli aims
The complete collapse of the agita
tion staited by the ofllcers of tho Into
Cuban Military assembly to pi event
the Instil gents accepting the TTnited
States bounty gratifies all Americans
and Cubans who have at he.iit the
welfuio ot the country Thousands of
former soldleis flock to the dlffeient
places of pajment, nnd the only dif
ficulty experienced In the distribution
is as to the number of men who aro
entitled to share in the $3,000,000, but
whose names do not nppear on the
lolls, while there aie on the lists an
Immense number ot names of men who
are not alive or who are unknown, evi
dently placed there with ftaudulent
intent.
Rush for Pay at Remedios.
At Hemedios today over live thous
and Cuban soldiers were nwalting pay
ment lieutenant Colonel itifferty. so
far. has paid out $JS,273. The mayor
of Kompillos has received 'Ml lifies. The
men awaiting payment fill the hotels
and houses and many of them sleep
in the paiks. A number of the men
expecting pajment have incurred debts
lor food, and several of the names do
not show on the lists. Benito Hernan
dez, who served during tho Ten Yens'
war and who has been In the field since
liPB, hes not been placed on tho list.
This Is nn example of the way in
which the lists aro drawn up.
The payment of tho Cubans nt Car
denas began this morning. After nn
argument between the mayor nnd the
Cuban Colonel Mnyato. tho Americans
agreed to pay all men who were iden
tified, even If they did not have any
arms in their possession.
Rumors aro current that Monslgnor
Santander y Frutos, bishop of Havana,
is thinking of selling the Paula hospi
tal, which Is church property, and Is
icnted by the Spanish government for
the detention of sleU female prisoners.
The Htoiles cliculntcd havo It that an
American syndicate has offered to buy
the property, and that the bishop will
probably agree- to their terms. Mon
slgnor y Frutos will neither deny nor
confirm the reiorts.
