Havana. April Establishments OF
the Seventh cavalry. led by Captain
Brewer, Captain Sickle and Lieutenant
Tompkins We're sent after the bandits
Saturday night by Major General Lee
into the districts they have been terror
izing. They returned last night, having
failed TO find them. The cavalrymen had
Cubans as guides. Four bands of Gu
bans from the camps Of General Mayia
Rodriguez and General Delgado were
also out i'm pursuit of the brigands.
The regular cavalry detachments were
sent toward Mariel Punta Brava. Quay
abal and the Toledo plantation. where
the bandits were reported. General
Delagado's men pursued a band which
entered Toledo but were unsuccessful
because the KmerIcan guard had strict
orders not TO let Cuban soldiers pass
without special authority Delgado APP
piled to General Lee for a permit. and
Captain Sickle was ordered 10 accompany
him. the Cuban leader saying that mid
night was the best time TO take the out
laws by surprise.
When Midnight came Delgado reported
TO Captain Sickle that an attack was not
practicable. the Cuban soldiers having
gone home. and there being no trace OF
the bandits in Toledoe The United
States military authorities now recognizo
the necessity OF stern action, and OF
making prompt examples OF offenders
OF this nature. Their depredations have
been carried on in close proximity TO
many American troops. and IL the out
laws are not caught. their immunity may
encourage others.
Fortunately the problem OF catching
these fellows is much easier than the
Spanish attempt TO capture Cubans un-
der the old regime. because the country
people who suffer from brigandage are
ready TO act as informers and guides.
The Cuban soldiers themselves, who are
much excited over the killing Of their
people at Caimito. seem willing to ex-
srt themselves sincerely.

that II stands prepared TO pay at any
time the s20,000.O00 named in the treaty
OF peace as the sum TO he paid on ac-
count of the cession Of the Philippines.
The Spanish government has been told
that the payment will be made in United
States gold coin or in gold bars at its
option, and the only condition attached
is that the payment shall be made at
New York Ii has been suggested that
owing 10 this last requirement the Span
ish government might incur substantial
loss through the payment of the commits
sion necessary TO transfer so large a sum
OF money across the Atlantic. 1t is
pointed out at the state department,
however. that the United States govern
ment offers TO pay the $4,000, 900 three
months in advance Of the time allowed
by the treaty, and that the interest for
that time would very much more than
pay the commission on the movement OF
the gold.
