HAVANA, June 26.-It Is persistently
rLmored here this evening that there has
been serious trouble at Nuevitas In con-
nection with the payment of the Cuban
troops. The story is that the Cubans,
after receiving payment, charged the
guard and recovered the arms they had
surrendered In American official circles
the report is discredited
Gen. Gomez called upon Gen. Brooke,
today, to discuss the list of invalid Off
GERS, which he said would be left prac-
tically unchanged. In any event the total
number will not be less than the figures
in the original list. It was impossible, he
said, to secure reliable particulars con.
corning each applicant.
La Lucha, dealing with the political
situation, says:
"The situation is opposed to reunion.
The Americans talk of Cuban slowness
in political organization, but they put
every obstacle in our way. Cuba will be
a great military camp as long as the
Americans find it profitable to maintain
1t as such. The Americans are every
thing. We are not even a part Of the
whole. We must reconcile ourselves to
the inevitable. Consequently the Cubans
should wait until an opportunity is Of
all sections. They should not heed the
oratory of half dozen politicians who
claim to embody the spirit of the common
people, but really represent nothing save
their personal ambitions and interests

WASHINGTON, Dec. Eileen. Gilbert 8.
Carpenter, who was recently confirmed
as brigadier general in the regular army,

own application, after thirty years Of ac-
tive service. His last service was in COM
mand Of the Eighteenth infantry in the

further service in the field and ordered
home.
His retirement leaves two vacancies in
the list Of brigadier generals, and results
in promotions In every grade of the line.
including promotion Of Lieut. Col Sam
now, of the Fourth infantry. to be Colo
mel OF the Eighteenth. Two vacancies in
the list of brigadier generals will be filled
on the reassembling Of congress by pro-
motion and retirement of several officers,
who have distinguished themselves in ac-
ton In the recent war. 1t Is popularity sup
posed that Gems. Macarthur, Wilson, Lee,
Wheeler, Bates, Young, Ludlow and
Wheaton. all Of whom hold volunteer COM
mands, are to be made brigadier generals
In the regular army, and that all but two
OF the number will be Immediately re-
tired.
Macarthur will undoubtedly be retained
in active service but there Is less certainty
as to the identity of the other general Of
ficers to be retained. The death of Law
ton left vacancy In the list of major
generals of volunteers, which will be filed
by promotion Of either Bates, Young or
Wheaton, all OF whom are on duty in the

Herr Roche, president Of the bank, ad-
mitted to the correspondent of the Associ-

expected An official of the Allgemeine

copper prices, said today:
so far as Germany is concerned, there

BRITISH HAVE WITHDRAWN.
Take Steps to Garry Into Eject the
Recent Samoan Trenty.

WASHINGTON, Dec 27.-The British
government has acted on the agreement
and treaties for the partition Of Samoa
and has withdrawn the supervisory an
thority which it has exercised of late years
In common with Germany and the United
states.
This probably accounts for the recent
reports from Samoa that the German flag
has been raised. as the withdrawal of the
British leaves Germany alone in authority.
The. British have Withdrawn their author
ity in Tutuila. So far as concerns Ger
many and Great Britain, their interests
were settled in a treaty between them
selves. This treaty provided for Great
Britains withdrawal from the islands and
the German transfer to Great Britain of
certain islands in the South Pacific This
treaty has already gone into effect. as 1t
was not delayed by the requirement OF
submission to the United States senate,
and acting on 1t, and the British authorities
have withdrawn their supervisory particle
patton in the government of Samoa
For the present, however. the British
consular affices remain there. "a the for
eien countries are likely to continue tkejy
consuls In Samoa, even though these Of
ficials no longer carry on the government
OF the islands.

SPANISH WAR PENSIONS.
Seventy-nrst New York Regiment
Send in 31S Claims.

NEW YORK, Dec. GA special to the
Herald from Washington says.
Applications for Spanish war pensions
still continue to be received at the pen
sion office from members of the Seventy.
first New York regiment, and the total
filed on behalf of members of this regi-
ment has now reached 31S.
Commissioner of Pensions Evans said
today that he had no idea that any con-
siderable percentage of the applications
would be allowed. as 1t would probably
be found when the cases were looked into
that the disabilities on which pensions
had been asked were of a temporary char
acter and not pensionable.
The commissioner said there was no way
by which an estimate could be made of
the total amount that would be paid to
the members of the Seventy-frst regi-
ment II all their claims should be allowed.
for the claims do not set forth the amount
of the pensions. They state the disabili-
ties. leaving the rating to be fixed by the
medical examiners of the pension office.
Most of these claims are filed under
the law of 1890 The average amount paid
on each pension granted under that law
Is about Sl09 year, IL all the claims
hled by the Seventy-frst New York regi.
ment should be allowed. at the same av-
erage, they would cause an annual ex-
pendlture of sS4.662. Should ali the 25 900
Spanish war pension claims be allowed at
the same rate 1t would increase the PEN
sion expenditures by s2,275,000.

HORRIBLE CUBAN PRISONS.

Awful state of Affairs.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Charles r. Lewis.
president of the New York Prison Associ-
alton, who went to Cuba on behalf OF
the state and other organizations in the
United States, has made a sensational re.
port to the secretary of war in regard to
the penal institutions on the island. He
sible, and says that a truthful description
of the prisons would arouse universal
indignation which would probably not be
misdirected."
After urging this government through
the war department to stop the 'intoler-
able cruelty and injustice which now con-
stitute national disgrace" Mr.. Lewis
adds:
Great prisons are overcrowded with
men and boys. AsSassins, brigands, pick
pockets and young men charged with dis
orderly conduct, or merely suspected of
slight offenses. are herded together in alb

course. With no change of clothing, no

Gen. Wood Will Look After Them.
HAVANA, Dec. 27.-Gen. Wood says
that one of the first things he looked into
after his arrival was the management of
the Cuban prisons. Investigation has
proved that even among American pris-
oners there has been an average deten-
ton of FIVE months without trial. Men
whom Gen. Ludlow ordered to be releas-
ed are still held, after three or four years

NEW YORK, Dec. T.-The work OF en-
listing men in this city to take the Boer
side in the war is in charge Of two agents
who operate in saloon near police head
quarters.
The leader in the movement Is Gustav
Simon, Boer recently arrived from the
Transvaal. Associated with him IS a
young German, Henry Scharff who has
lived many years among the Beers and
who reached New York a week ago from
Pretoria Simon owned several hotels and
saloons In Johannesburg; these were
closed up when the war began, and,
being incapable Of active service in the
field, he came here in the interest Of his
country. Scharff, his companion in this
work, was among the first to come out
from the Yukon country with news OF the
Klondike gold fields, and has mining inter-
ests there and in the Transvaal. Since
his return to the Transvaal from Alaska
he has been in the confidence Of the
Boer leaders and he has been sent here on
this special mission.
