SPANISH SOLDIERS FOE MINERS.
A Gang of 400 Bound for Baiquiri-Cuban
Soldiers in No Hurry to Work.

Special Cable DespabeA 10 TIE Sun.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 4.-Gen. Wood was
informed this morning by the agents OF the
mining companies that they had engaged the
services OF 400 more Gallegos miners from the
Spanish army. These men belong to the
troops serving in the western end OF the island.
The Gallegos engaged from Cienfuegos will
leave Immediately for Baiduiri They will &c
directly to the mines by sea so as to avoid
passing through Santiago. The gang from
Havana will not come for a fortnight or more.
The news caused much excitement among
the Cubans last night and was the subject Of
discussion in the clubs. cafes and other resorts.
The Cubans were opposed to permitting 1t
and threats were made. but there is little fear
OF violence. as Gen. Wood is prepared to pre-
serve order in the province.
Lieut.. Rodney of the Third Immunes re-
turned this morning from an extensive trip In
the interior OF the province which he began q
ortnight ago. taking with him three pack
trains conveying 10000 ~rations. He visited
Jiquani. Bayjo and other places IN the interior.
He told the correspondent Of TIL Sun that the
restitution and suffering in the interior were
not nearly 80 great as had been reported to
Gen. Wood. He was informed by Cuban OFF,
GERS that a few Cubans had received furlo'ighs
as the result OF Gen. Garcia's influence. but

Lieut.. Rodney said that the Cuban oldlers
were raising tobacco and potatoes and other
vegetables at their camps and some OF the
Cuban officers. who had been reporting desti-
tuition and suffering. were engaged In the bust
ness OF shipping the tobacco raised at tho
camps to Santiago and other seaports held by
the Americans. getting good prices for it.
Lieut.. Rodney distributed a quantity OF
bread and salt meat and brought the remain
der back to Santiago subject to Gen. Woods
orders. He told THE Sun correspondent that
what was most needed was clothing for the
women and children and :agricultural imple-
ments for the men. A little pressure was also
needed ID make the men give up their vaga-
bond soldier life and go to work. but he feared
1t would be dificult, as most OF the inhabitants
were habitual revolutionists. He had heard
OF several Instances OF brigandage during his
trip.
