HAVANA, Aug. 1s.-The recent decree ordering
draft Of persons for military service contained
clause exemptmg any oonscript on the payment
OF $1,000. A great number have avaied them
selves OF the privilege and consequently the pros
gross in filling up contingents for the different
corps is very slow, and men are not eoMIng in
sufficient numbers to meet the requirements OF
the war;
The Captain General .ssued another decree to-
day, requiring persons drafted for cavalry and
colored militia seeking exemption not only to.
pay one> thousand dollars, but to procure able
bodied substitutes. Conscripte for white infantry
will continue to be exempted On the same terms
as heretofore.
