CUBAN GENERALS TO MEET.
To Decide on the Future Policy of the
ARMY.


Havana, Oct. 1.-Louis Kempter,
United States postal agent at Santiago
has arrived here on his way to WASH
ington, where he is called on matters
relating to the postal service. He re-
ports that the concentration Of Spanish
troops at Cienfuegos is being actively
pursued, about 1900 men being brought
there weekly from the ports between
Manzanillo and Cienfuegos on the south
coast.
Mr.. Kempter visited the Spanish post
Offices at Manzanillo, Tunas, Jacurao
and Ciienfuegos, and viii make report
upon their condition, suggesting radical
improvements in the system
A meeting of Importance it is std, will
be held in a few days in some Havana
province of all the commanders in the
Cuban army. General Maxine Gomez
VIII preside. The meeting will have sig
nif1cance, as deciding the future policy
of the Cuban army on the island.
The Western railway of Havana, has
made reduction of 80 per cent in the
charge OF transporting the Cuban
troops.
Advices from Cardenas, received yes
terday, report the arrival there of Col
onel CoWan and Lieutenant Parker, en-
route from Santiago, and who have
been visiting the Cuban camps on the
way under q special commission from
the United States government.
The Spanish military club of Havana
held meeting yesterday and resolved
to dissolve. The clubs furniture will
be sold, One-third of the proceeds going
and the other twO-thirds to the asylum
for the orphans of the soldiers of Spain.
Last evening shortly before midnight,
representatives of the local cab compa-
MES and livery stables assembled at the
office of the civil governor, Senior De
Castro where they had been summoned,
with view to heading off a strike that
threatened for today. Senior De Cas-
tro addressed them collectively and in
dividually, and after long discussion
ne succeeded in persuading them to
abandon their proposed strike.
This morning the delegates called up
on the mayor, who subsequently had
long conference with Senior De Castro.
The crisis was created by the demands
OF the cab companies for higher fares
In view of the depreciation of silver
Their demands seemed well founded,
and it is now likely that the mayor will
himself authorize the desired increase
although he repudiated it a week ago,
when 1t was granted by Senior De Cas-
trO.
The Spanish paymaster general has
published notice to persons in the ma
val, military and civil service announc-
ing, that beginning today, monthly pay
ments VIII be re-estab Iished, but there
VIII stlH be four months arrears out
standing.
