SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 23-Five
men are dead and ten wounded as the
result Of g fight last night between gen.
darmes and disappointed Cuban soldiers
at Cuevitasc, three miles from Santiago,
where the payment of the Cuban troops is
proceeding. Five thousand Cubans had
gathered there to receive pay, and after
three days only $50 had been paid. Thou
sands who had been disappointed at 9TH
er points had come to Cuevitas from the
last place of payment
The imperfect list causes great dissat-
isfaction and the rumor circulated yes
terday that the paymasters would have
to leave today alarmed the men who had
not been paid. They began to collect in
groups and show their annoyance. FL
nally their threats became serious. Capt.
Baliat, with twenty gendarmes, was pres
ent to preserve order among the appli-
cants, and the United States troops pro-
tected Col. Moale, the officer having
charge of the payments.
Suddenly Capt Baliat, who was on
horseback, was surrounded by mob,
struck with stones and bottles, and final
ly shot in the arm. His men fired a vol
ley into the crowd, three men being in
stantly killed and twelve injured, two of
whom died this morning.
Col Moale's guard Immediately sur
rounded the pay depot, but took no part
in the fighting. For a few minutes there
was lively conflict, carbines and ma
chetes being used freely. Capt. Baliat
was the only gendarme wounded. All the
dead We're colored Cuban soldiers.
This morning payment was resumed un-
der heavy guard. There are rumors
that a force is being organized to attack
the pay office, but these are probably un-
founded.
Gen. Castillo, civil governor Of San
7tiago, was at Ceuvitas at the time and
soon restored order.
There is no doubt the delay in payments
causes many hardships. Many veterans
have vainly followed the United States
commissioners for several weeks, only to
find their names are not on the list. Gen.
Leonard Wood, military governor, does
not anticipate further trouble.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-(Special) 1t
was officially announced at the war de-
partment to-day that the Twentieth Kan
sas regiment, now in the Philippines. will
be mustered out at the Preside barracks,
San Francisco.
The war department has been in a
quandary since the question of selecting a
proper place TO muster out the regiment
has arisen, and the decision was reached
retary Alger. Adjutant General Corbln and
Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn.
Numerous communications have been re-
ceived at the war department asking that
the regiment be mustered out at various
places, but it was thought that majority
of the men favored San Francisco as they
will receive about $4,000 more than they
would had they been mustered out in their
native state.
There has been unusual interest mani
tested in Washington in the affairs OF
the Twentieth Kansas, on account of the
marvellous record the regiment has made
in the Philippine campaign. Army officers
have discussed the affairs connected with
the gallant Kansas regiment more than
any other subject, and it has been tho in
tention of the department to arrange every
detail for the comfort and welfare OF the
men in the best possible manner.
The announcement was made to-day that
all the volunteers now the Philippines. with
the exception of the oregon and Washing
ton regiments. will be mustered out in San
Francisco.
The official announcement of the muster
ing out point will stop all controversies

WASHINGTON, May Sl.-the war depart

port from Colonel Stotzenburg and other

General Otis VIII Not Require 10000
Troops-secretary AIEer
ExplainS,

WASHINGTOk.Ma May 31.-The president to-
day declared to a congressional caller there
was not at present any contemplation of
largely increasing General Otis forces in
the Philippines. He said that nothing had
been received from General Otis which in
dicated the necessity for more troops be-
yond the regulars who are to be sent TO re-
lieve the retiring volunteers But the presi-
dent added that if additional reinforce
ments become necessary they would be
promptly furnished. A number of governs
ors of states had advised him that they
could furnish regiments In short order IL
the occasion required But at the same
time the president expressed his strong be-
lief and confidence that necessity for mus
tering in additional volunteers in accord
ance with the authority granted by the
army reorganization bill will not be wise,
Secretary Alger was with the president
for some time discussing the situation.
When he left the White House he denied
that General Otis had cabled yesterday that
30 900 troops would be necessary.
General Otis,' said he had been noti-
fled from time to time that all the troops
he considered necessary would be supplied
to him and not word of complaint has
come from him. This morning l cabled to
Otis giving him definite information as to
the number of regulars he would have aft
er the volunteers are withdrawn. Includ-
ing the Nineteenth infantry, which was de-
layed at Ponce by the stranding of the
transport Meade, he will have 25,O0o regu-
lars. | asked him if more than that num-
ber would be required. We desire this in
formation because if volunteers must be
mustered in it will require all the time
between now and the end of the rainy
season to muster them in, equip them and
transport them to the scene of action. We
could, if necessary, furnish General Otis
with about 5000 or $500 additional regulars
without calling for volunteers, but the
sending of the additional regulars would
reduce the troops at the military posts in
this country to a minimum and cramp us
| somewhat in Cuba and Porto Rico. We
| have absolutely no reason to believe that
General Otis will require more troops than
we can furnish without enlsting yolun-
/
