The Situation In Cuba

Havana, April The departure OF
the remaining volunteers, will prooab-
" be delayed for couple OF weeks until
the Cuban army question is nearer a
settlement. As Comes is unable TO
supply accurate lists OF the Ouoan
army. and as the Cuban Assembly still
retains the official list, the American
military authorities outwardiy appear
to be simply waiting, but, as a matter
OF fact. they are impatient and disgust
ed. The whole attitude of the Ouoans
in this matter is excessively irritating.
Meanwhile, the report that the 49,
900. 900 may be returned to the Unlted
States is being widely circulated and
has increased the feeling against the
Assembly, whose members are appar-
emily indifferent.
The Oomal with million ratlous;
has arrived, and as no decision ha'
vet been reached by the Governor 0eh-
eral as to whether the supplies are &c
be charged to the United States or &c
