HAVANA, Cuba (By Cable).-The Cuban
Assembly met on Tuesday and finally de-
cided to dissolve and to disband the Cuban
Army. thus removing one OF the greatest

After setting forth that the Assembly has
decided that the army shall be definitely
dis5anded. the resolution orders the various
Cuban chiefs to give to each soldier certia-
cate setting forth his services. The financial
delegate Of the Assembly In each province is
also instructed to give certificates to the soi-
diers. The troops are then ordered to surren-
der their arms to the chiefs, who will turn
them over to the municipal authorities, who
will deliver them to the Government OF
Cuba when 1t is established. The chiefs
are instructed to issue orders to their
troops for the laying down Of their arms.
One month will be given to all members OF
the army to present their claims for titles
and honors. On June 80 the Executive
Committee Of the Assembly will end the
work. The last article snys: "The Assem-
bly, is hereby dissolved"

SOUTHAMPTON, England (Ey Cable).-The
passenger steamer Stella, plying between
this port and the Channel Islands, crashed
upon the dreaded Casquet Rocks, near the
Island OF Alderney, In a dense fog, and
foundered In ten minutes, her boilers ex-
ploding with a tremendous report as she
went down.
1t Is estimated that about seventy per
sons were drowned by the sinking OF the
Stella. The Stella hnd on board more than
200 passengers who were going to spend
Easter in the Channel Islands.
The captain. all the other officers, except
the second officer, and most OF the crew
and many OF the passengers sank with the
Stella. boat in charge OF the Chief otf1-
Ger capsized, and almost all its occupants
wore drowned. few OF them were picked
up by other vessels.
Many most pathetic incidents are report
ed. In several cases men lifted their wives
and children into the boats and then per-
ished themselves In their presence. one
wife who was thus bereared lost her rea-
SOD.
The second officer OF the steamer, who
wns among tn ose re-c led, says that col
lapslble boat was launched full OF people;
but he thinks she struck on the rocks.

two hundred passengers on board, and
the crew numbered thirty-lve men. The
weather WAS foggy, but all went we'll un-
til the afternoon, when the fog became
most dense.
At4 O'Clock the Cnsquet Rocks suddenly
doomed up through the fog bank. and the
steamer almost Immediately afterward
struck amidships. The Captain, seeing that
the Stella was fast sinking, ordered the
lie boats to be launched. His instructions
were carried out with the utmost CELEBRITY,
and the women and children were en-
barked IN the boats. Then the Captain
ordered the men to look after themselves.
A survivor states that he and twenty-five
Others put of from the Stella In small
boat. The sea was calm, but there was
big swirl around the rocks. When this
boat was a short distance away from the
wreck the boilers from the Stella burst
with a terrific explosion, and the vessel
disappeared, stern foremost, in the SEA.
The last thing the survivor saw was the
figure OF the Captain OF the Stella, stand
ing calmly on the bridge and giving his
last orders. The Captain persisted with
his vessel. owing to the suction caused by
the sinking steamer being very great In
deed.
The disaster is generally attributed to
the high speed at which the steamer was
travelling In the fog.
