From a gentleman who has spent
the last four months in Cuba the
following is cleaned: The govern
ment is gradually deporting ths
regular troops from the island at the
rate Of 500 week, and this will be
continued until all the regular army
is removed, leaving the local Cubans
and Spaniards to protect Spanish
interests. At the present time the
government owes the army S55, ,0Oo,-
600, and on the 1st day of June will
have to raise 100000 to pay inter
est on the war debt The income of
the government from the island is
stated to be Sl,300.O00 per month,
and the expenses S11, 100000. It is
believed that, in view of the Graeco
Turkish war, the powers will not
make further leans to the Spanish
Government, and this is the reason
for Withdrawing the troops. If Eu-
rope does or does not become in
volve1 in war, it is believed in
Havana that the government will
have to abandon Cuba for lack OF
funds, and that the present deporta
tion is the beginning of the end.
