CUBA WILL PAY
But the Bargain Gust Be Made Very
Promptly


NEW YORK, March 1S.-That the Gu
bans are willing to end the strife In their
island is without question, but while they
are willing to pay Spain an indemnity, the
leaders here are positive in their assertions
that they are not weakening in the slight
est degree and are willing to continue the
fight. The question Of the amount of in
demnity which might be paid In case such
an agreement were feasible was talked of
earnestly by the officials of the junta here
today Just what amount might have been
paid three years ago, and that which might
seem reasonable now from the Cubans'
point of view, may be gathered from the
following reply to such a question. which
Tomas Estrada Palma made this evening:
"At the beginning Of the war the debt
was $3.50, 900 900, but Cuba could not stand
it. And this was one of the reasons that
the revolt was precipitated.
I'm the beginning of 1895. after the in
vasion of the western provinces by the
Cubans, the latter might have been willing
to pay 100000 900.
"At the beginning of the rainy season of
lSs6-s7 they would have paid $3.50 900 900, but
now they would not give more than as
much as s100.OOO,oOO
"If the wet season should set in this year
before such an agreement could be ar
ranged we would not think of paying any
thing.
1.-THE reason for the decrease in the
amounts are the increased chances Of our
success" continued Mr.. Palma, mot to
speak of the destruction and desolation OF
the island that impairs its productive ca
pacity."

A representative Of one Of the largest

az having been narrow-minded In not al

Senator Hawley of Connecticut called
at the navy and war departments with
Thomas F. Rowland. whom he introduced
to the officials as the builder Of the first
monitor on the Ericsson plan. He recalled
the fact that the vessel was an expert
mental one and had to overcome the pre-
JUDGES of naval officers, owing TO its de-
partura from established ideas.
The war department today made another
allotment to the engineering branch Of the
service This consisted of $27s1,O 900, and
was charged against the special appropria-
ton of $50, 900, 900 made last week. 1t was
stated that the money would be expended
in the carrying out Of the plans for the

HANDS OFF
Brazil Not Interested in the Spanish
Affair

xAARAh
CHICAGO, March 1S.-'In the event of
war between the United States and Spain,
the attitude of Brazil will be one of Hands
off, The republic of Brazil is more friend
ly to us than she is to Spain, but the peo-
pie are too clever not to know that Brazil
q contest"
This is the opinion of Major =, H. Conger,
formerly United States minister to Brazil,
Who is now making his way leisurely to the
western coast, whence he will sail for
China within a few weeks. Brazil, no
says, does not know absolutely what posi-
tion she would take. The president has not
figured it out; the people have not thought
about 1t. Major Conger reasons thus:
Brazil could not afford to lend either
moral or material support to Spain. because
her extensive trade with the United States
would thereby be affected She would
gain nothing by Joining hands with this
country or by rendering her sympathy. She
Is not interested In Cuba from a commercial
standpoint, and cannot afford to be inter-
ested from any other, because of the con-
dition of her finances. Her president and
statesmen are too wise and too clever to
assume any attitude that would recoil upon
the republic itself, and, In consequence,
her position must be one of neutrality. Her

SPANISH SOLDIERS
Not Very Numerous Nor Especially
Capable

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Seventy
thousand men is the number Of Spanish
soldiers who have been killed, wounded and
otherwise incapacitated for duty during
the present war In Cuba. These figures
have been received in this city recently
from reliable sources, and are said to be
as nearly authentic as it is possible to OBJ
tain them without recourse to the records
kept by the Spanish government.
From this same source considerable other
information bearing on the military
strength of Spain and her dependencies
is obtained.
The present force of Spain in Cuba Is as
follows:
Regulars, $4,000 men. OF this number
it is estimated that $1,000 are effective for
military purposes. They are distributed
throughout the island as follows:
About 5000 are in the two eastern prov
inces of Santiago de Cuba and Puerto
Principe, and the remainder are in the
provinces of Santa Clara, Matanzas, Ha-
vana and Pinar del Rio. There are about
80 900 members in what is known as the
volunteer army. These are mostly in the
province of Havana and are largely in
the nature Of home guards, corresponding
to our state militia. There are 55 900 men
who are not effective for military duty
from various causes.
The strength of the Spanish army al
home and including her nearby posses
sions is 100 900 men, which in times of de.
mand for additional soldiers may be in
creased as follows:
First reserve, $4,000; second reserve, 160,.
! 900 men, all Of whom are instructed In
military tactics, and a second reserve, al
of whom are not instructed, of 90, 900 men
| making in all a grand total of 10000 men
Since these figures were received here re

Unusual precautions were observed on

submitted to the closest scrutiny OF search
lights Both vessels are ready to pull out
at fifteen minutes notice, and special at

of the sailors in small arms and firing

Tomorrow the court will devote consider
able time to the preparation of diagrams
