TROOPS SAIL FOR CUBA.
MOrning-An Embarrassing State
of Affairs,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Adjutant Gen.
eral Corbin received dispatch to-day an
nouncing that the Eighth cavalry sailed at
o'clock this morning from Savannah for
Puerto Principe. Cuba. The regiment will
be the American garrison at Puerto Prin-
cipe and Nuevitas.
In this connection an interesting bit of
information has reached the war depart
ment. Arrangements have been made by
the Spanish authorities to send back to
Spain the Spanish troops, numbering $500
men, upon the arrival of the American gar
rison. II was expected that they would
sail next TUESDAY or Wednesday, but an
unexpected obstacle has arisen among the
men themselves. They are on the verge of
mutiny, openly declaring they will not re-
turn to Spain until they have received their
pay. now far in arrears, for service in
Cuba.
The mutlny extends not alone to the en-
listed men, but TO their officers and is d.
rected against the executive officials Of
the Madrid government on the island. Some
of the men have not been paid for nearly
a year. and to all AS them several months
of pay Is due.
The situation has created no particular
concern in the minds of the American au-
affect the control of that portion of the
island by the American forces: but it is
realized that those $500 soldiers, if they
should persist in their refusal to return to
would be difficult to care for, and, ulti-
mately perhaps, menace to good govern
ment on the island.
The Spanish authorities express no fear
of their, ability to solve the problem pre-
men, backed by their officers. absolutely
refuse to return home without their pay,
is not clear.

FREE WITH OTHERS MONEY.
Frank A. Magoun, of Trenton, N. j.,
Overdrew His Account
S15O,OOO.

TRENTON, N. j.. Nov. 13.-vice Chan
cellor Reed rendered a decision yesterday
in which he holds that Mayor Frank A.
Magoun. as president of the Trenton Rub
ber Company, overdrew his accounts in
that concern to the extent of at least $780,.
900. He also decides that Allen Magoun,
the ex-mayor's father and director of
the company, is civilly responsible for $l6,-
900 of these overdrafts, and that William
p. Hayes. another director. is responsible
to the extent of $500.
Suit was instituted by Receiver Bird with
the idea of holding Allen Magoun and
William P. Hayes responsible for the ex-
mayors overdrafts on the ground that they
had been negligent in their duties as d.
rectors.
The vice chancellor expressed himself
pretty freely as to Magoun's reckless con-
duct in using the funds of the company
for his own personal benefit. and says that
it is clear that Allen Magoun and Hayes
were negligent in their dealings but they
can only be held responsible to the credit
ors from the time they knew the company
to be insolvent.

sTERNBERG's REPORT is READY
Surgeon General Has Submitted His
Annual Statement to Secre-
tary AlEer.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l9.-The annual re-
port of the surgeon general of the army.
which was submitted to the secretary of
war last week, will probably be made pub
lie within two or three days. In advance
of the full report, General Sternberg pro-
vided a brief summary of the facts und
figures to be contained in the document for
the use of Secretary Alger in preparing
his report. Secretary Alger Will make
special use of the surgeon generals re-
port. with the intention of answering ef
fectively the wholesale criticism of the
war department which followed the close
of hostilities against Spain. General Stern
berg attempted. in preparing his history
OF the medical corps of operations during
the war. to disarm public criticism. His
official statement deals in a rather pointed
manner with the dispute between General
Shafter and himself in regard to the re-
sponsibity for the partial failure of the
medical department at Santiago and the
suffering of the sick and wounded on
transports returning TO the United States.
