COMING OUT THEIR HOLES.
Cubnns beginning to Realize That
Seventy-Five Dollars is Better
Thar an Old Gun.

Havana, May 29.-Fully 100 men
with rifles were waiting in line for the
opening of the Office for the payment
of Cuban soldiers who will give up
their arms, and there were also pres
ent about eight men with receipts for
arms, delivered up to the civil authOri-
ties. The majority of those with rifles
say they have had all the fighting they
want, and add that they do not ARE
who takes the arms so long as they re-
ceiye their SIS.
1t is probable that the payment will
continue here all day, owing TO the
fact that it takes some time to look up
each mans record.
Advices from Cienfuegos say the re
ports, under date of May -. of riot
ing there on the part of Cuban dock
laborers have been exaggerated. that
not Owe Il dozen men were engaged,
and that only one man was wounded
instead of II being killed and seven
