PAYING cUBANs.
A Few Get Their Money-Thc Rolls Unre-
liable.


liable.
Havana. May 2S.-l'hcre were III
applications to-day for shares in the
S3,OoO.0O which the United States has
offered MS gratulty to the Cuban
troops. Thirty were given $40 each.
The others were not on the rolls. al
though they had guns which they were
ready to turn In and certificates of SER
vice.
The United States mllitry authorities
consider that the rolls are very unre-
liable Indeed, the opinion IL freely ex-
expressed that a large proportion of
the names are fictitious and that the
rolls omit majority of the names of
those rightly entitled to share in the
grntulty.
The object of this apparently, is to
liscredit the proceedings and to show
the Cuban public that n large number
)f the troops refused to take American
money.
Lieutenant Colonel George NJ. Ran
lall OF the Eighth United States infan-
try. the commissioner experimenting
the distribution here, went carefully
over the rolls OF one battalion with its
,ommandant. He pointed out thirty
four names of men who are dead and
names of others who had not been
heard OF outside the rolls.
OF those paid to-day twenty-five
turned in arms-Mausers. Remingtons
and carhines. The other five showed
receipts from the alcalde vouching for
the delivery of their arms.
The payment will continue until noon
tomorrow In Havana city, but Colonel
Randall says II VIII be necessary to
nave additional days after n while here
and extra pay rolls for men who have
undoubtedly seen service. He also be-
Iieves that the payment to be contin-
ued for the next three days mt least
ninety per cent. of those entitled to
apply would do So Most of those who
received shares to-day asserted that
they only heard by accident that the
distribution was now actually taking
place.
Colonel Randall will send to Senior
Percecto La Costc. the mayor. all the
arms turned In to-day. The first pay
ment outside of Havana will be made
on Tuesday at Santiago de Las Vegas.
whittier Colonel Randall, the clerks
and thirty soldiers will go with the
paymaster.

Accept the Principle
London, May 81 The correspondent
Of the Daily Telegraph at The Hague
says: Peace prospects touched high
ynfcr mark to-day when the confer
cnce found Itself face to fnce with ar

Julian Paunccfote. When the members
of the arbitration section Ind finished
feading the Russian proposals ON this
subject, Sir Julian expressed his COM
plete approval OF them. but said II
would be +, great pity II the conference
failed to embody the principle OF ar
bitration In some permanent shape.
II now beg TO propose he said.
"fhc formal establishment OF perma-
nenf arbitration tribunal, empowered
to deal with all matters In dispute ca
pable OF reference to the judgment OF
an umpire. ! do not Intend TO trouble
you with details ns to mechanism to-
day. nor until you accept the principle
Of my proposal. Therefore. | nsk you

NJ. DE Stanl at once declared: "Sir
Julian Pnuncefote having accepted
his proposal, we are prepared to sup
suggestions Just distributed by others
dealing with n permanent arbitration
board"
Thcrcupon the Russian president OF
the conference drew a paper from his
pocket and laid II upon the table then
and there. The paper contained n
foundation OF permanent tribunal
suggesting the substitution OF new
clause and referring to nm appendix
not yet drawn up.
The nmnzcd delegates crowded
around Sir Julian. congratulating him
upon having played the winning card.
which had so quickly precipitated the
Russian alternative scheme. Sof
stood aglinst, as the matter was not
contemplated In their instructions FL
nnlIy IL was decided to refer the mat
ter TO subcommittee.
The Americans. II Is believed. are
celebrating an orgnnic statute for the
erection OF n permanent tribunal. which
will probably be laid before the con
ference and be supported by the Brit
sl Delegates. when the principles EN-
bodied In Sir Julinn's resolution Is nc-
ceptcd.

by direct statement that the presi.
dent of the civil section had so report
ed to the president of the Court of

practically certain to be accepted by
the Court of Cassation and means that
Dreyfus will be brought back to

into the hands of the procurer general,
Mr.. Manau.

Bright Prospects for Arbitration Agree

committee OF the peace conference.

II will be known as the drafting com
mittee. indicating in its name the scope
OF Its functions.
The delegates have worked unceas-
ingly to-day. although the formal la
bors of the conference were suspend
ed. An effort is being made. and with
n certain degree of progress. to COM
binc the Russian and British proposals
In such way that the report of the
drafting committee may secure the
support of both parties in the plenary
committee. Nj. De Stnal and Sir Julian
pauncefotc. chiefs OF the Russian md
British delegations respectively, and
other delegates. had long conference
to-day with this end in view and there
Is no doubt that an agreement in prin-
ciple will be reached.
The hope of the delegates that per-
manent arbitration board will be es-
tablishcd Is rapidly improving. The
difficult points now relate to the COM
position OF the tribunal. how the RE-
presentation OF the powers is to be mr.
-angcd. and the limitations to be placed
lpon the jurisdiction of the board.
