The victims were stripped and bound

In several cases the sailors were tor

WASHINGTON, D. G. (spsclaD.-It IS
learned at tie War Department that Rob
ert-P. Porter's mission to Cuba is entirely
OF o financial and statistical character.
He will ask II the Cuban army will disband
on present payment Of s3,000,000. Our
legal right to make this payment was re.
ferred to the Attorney-General, who
held that this sum might law
fully be advanced to the insur-
gent troops, on condition that the Treasury
be subsequently reimbursed from the rev.
enue OF the island, and 1t Is understood
that this course will be pursued II It Is
found that the desired results can be OBJ
tanned thereby.
It is we'll understood that the sum do
manded by the Cuban troops on account
of their back pay is fully ten times this.
It probably will be represented to them
that as any payment whatever on this
account must be charged up against the
Island OF Cuba, tho United States, as q
temporary guardian OF the island, Is in
duty bound to avoid burdening It ut tie
very outset Of its independent, existence
-with n load beyond its ability to bear In the
shape Of obligations. The Cuban soldiers
will be asked to take this sum asa pay
ment on account, leaving tho future Gov
ernment Of Cuba to add 20 the remunara-
tion later on, II 1t shall see fit.
