PAYING THE CUBAN TROOPS.
The Idea is to Take the Money From
the Special Deficiency Appropriation

the Special Deficiency Appropriation.
Negotiations are progressing in the mat
ter of the payment of Cuban troops, so
that on laying down their arms they may
be enabled to enter upon civil pursuits and
establish themselves in a way 10 earn a
living. Probably no further appropriation
by Congress will be necessary TO enable
the President to carry out the plan if it
should be decided, as it probably will be,
10 advance money as a charge against the
revenues of Cuba, to make a payment to
the CubanS OF part of the money due
them Tor their service in the Cuban army.
TINS debt is not an obligation resting upon
the Cuban government Will be obligated on
It's establishment on an independent basis.
Pendlng the establishment Of a permanent
government, there is no authority re-
sponsible for the payment of these soldiers,
ana unless this government advances the
money as a loan they VIII have to 60 for
an indefinite period without pay for their
services already rendered in the war for
independence. The special deficiency ap-
preparation bill carries an item of $3, ,00J, 900
as an emergency fund which the govern
ment may use for any purpose, and the
idea is to advance the money for the pay
ment of the Cuban soldiers out of this
fund. 1t is understood, however, that the
President has not yet consented to this ar
rdnSCmeQt.
