THE STRENGTH OF
THE CUBAN ARMY,
Officers Now Over ON n Mission Say
They Have About 10000 Fairly
Well Armed Mem

WASHINGTON. May 2s-Secretary Al
ger and Gen. Miles conferred with two Of
hcers from the stan of Gen. Garcia. Gen
enrique Collazo and Lieut.. Col. Charles
hernandez, who como direct from Garcia
headquarters. bearing credentials from
him to perfect a plan of cooperation
with the American forces. They accompa-
nied Lieut.. Rowan, OF the United States
army, on his return from Garcia's camp
al Bayamo, in Central Cuba, and shared
with him the danger OF a two days voy-
age in an open boat from the north coast
or Cuba. They reported first TO the Gu
ban delegation here. and Secretary Cues
ada was careful to keep their presence
secret until Gen. Miles had made the fact
known
This relieved the men from further Sc
crecy. and today Gen. Colazo and Col.
Hernandez gave an interesting account OF
Gen. Garc.a's forces and the general equip
ment OF the Cuban army.
Col. Hernandez says Garcia has his
headquarters at Bayamo and that his
STAN. with body guard of several hum
dred men. are Quartered inside the city.
The infantry and cavalry are auartered in
the suburb OF South Bayamo. In all about
5000 men are thus Quartered. They are
well armed with Remngtons and Mausers
captured from the Spaniards. Most of
them have machetes. but only the officers
carry other small arms. The cavalry have
small horses, much like the Indian mus
tanSs, hardy and reliable.
Coli Hernandez says communication Is
maintained with Gen. Gomez and with
points along the coast. From this he has
a general idea of the forces. outside Of
those with Gen. Garcia at Bayamo. He
estimated that there are 1900 men. all Of
whom are we'll armed, east OF La Trocha,
and constituting forces in the eastern d.
vision of the island under Gen. Garcia.
These include the 3.oo9 at Bayamo. the
others being scattered at various points.
He estimated Gen. Gomez immediate
command at about 5000 men. with GOO
men scattered at various points. In all
there are. according 10 Gen. Collazo and
Col. Hernandez, about 1900 TO 5000
troops.
II is understood that the purpose OF the
present visi, Of Garcia's officers is to give
general assurance 10 the authorities here
OF Garcias desire 10 give every possible
cooperation 10 American movements.
Similar assurances have come from Gen.
Gomez and have been presented by Gen.
Quesada. The Cuban officers have made
a good impression here. and the authori-
ties were agreeably surprised to find them
men of ability and soldieriy bearing,
speaking English well.
