WANT TO BE PAID.
The Importance of Settling With the
Men in the Cuban Army Underesti-
mated in America.

HAVANA, January 2S.-Senor FREDERICK
Mora, the civil governor of Havana, in an
interview to-day, declared that the ques-
ton of the payment of the Cuban army
was of much greater Importance than the
Washington government seems to realize.
He said that if the Cubans were to collect
the customs of the island which are their
property, their first action would be to
meet Cuba's sacred obligation to the army
by the payment in full of the soldiers.
But the customs administration being in
the hands of the Americans, the Cubans
made a simple business proposition to the
United States government that it pay in
advance money to pay the troops, holding
the customs as security. If the Americans
were not present, Senior Mora further
said, Cuba could easily obtain the neces-
sary loan The distribution of this money
to the army is essential to permit the
country to proceed with the work of agri-
culture which must form the foundation of
its reconstruction. The army contains
many men who consider that Cuba is in a
position to demand the full payment of
the army by the United States and assert
that other action on the part of the Amer
lean government would be worst tyranny
than was exercised under Spanish sover-
eighty. Senior Mora considers the under
estimation of the Importance of this mat
ter unfortunate; and his views are held
by a majority of the Cubans. The heat of
the discussion is daily increasing, and the
newspapers of the island are full of ar
guments in favor of the payment of the
army.
Gen. Snyder reports that five or six hum
dred members of the Cuban army are en-
camped near Sancti Spiritus loafing about
and pilfering and begging food. Gen. Sny-
der sent word to them that if they would
come to Sancti Spiritus and help the
Americans to clean the town they would
receive pay and rations. but the offer was
refused, the Cubans replying that they
were soldiers, not scavengers.

AN IMPORTANT SUIT
Which May Affect the Terms of County
Officers in Ohio.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January Sex
Congressman M. A. Foran and Attorney
w. ]. Hart will begin in the Ohio Supreme
Court on Monday a lawsuit which may
shorten the terms of the county commits
sioners, county auditors, county recorders
and county clerks in all of the IS counties
in the State.
The case which will constitute the test
is that whereby Commissioner-elect Nc
Kenney seeks to GUST Commissioner 7. D.
Brown, in Cuyahoga county.
In 1894 the clerk of one of the interior
counties, through the representations of
the members of the Legislature from that
county. had a law passed changing the
time of the beginning of the terms of the
office named, putting it ahead eight
months. The law went into effect at the
end of the terms then being served, the
offices being filled during the interim by
the county commissioners. In most in
stances the old officers were appointed.
That was the case with the clerk in
question. In his county at that time
there were a number of big lawsuits with
heavy fees for the clerk during the eight
months. Last winter the Legislature
passed a similar law applying to the sher-
ifs, to go into effect January /. Sheriff
Mcconnell. of Cuyahoga county, was re-
elected last fall, but the commissioners de-
cided to ignore him and appoint ex-Re-
corder Fred Saal for the eight months in
term. Mcconnell appealed to the courts,
and two weeks ago the Supreme Court
declared the law changing the term of Of
flee to be unconstitutional. The law of
1894, involving the other county officials,
is exactly the same in principle as that
which affected the sheriff and Messrs,
Foran and Hart will attack it's constitu-
tionality. If they win, which is almost a
certainty, it will reduce by eight months
the term of every county commissioner,
recorder, auditor and clerk in Ohio, The
county commissioners of Ohio have a
State organiza ton which will engage at
torneys to defend the case.

THE CORTES
Will be Opened February 2O-.-Indem-
nifty for Spaniards Who Suffer Loss
Through the Cession of the Philip
pines.

Madrid, January 2S.-The reopening
of the Cortes is fixed for February 90.
The government will introduce bill
providing for the payment of indem-
nifty to Spaniards who have suffered
through the session of the Philippine
islands to the United States. The
members of the opposition propose to
raise debate on the wars in Cuba and
the Philippine islands. 1t is believed
the session will be short.
The premier, Senior Sagasta, will
then submit to the Queen Regent a
question of confidence in the govern
ment.
The Official Gazette announces that
the Spanish troops in the Philippine
islands who are to be repatriated at
the expense of Spain only number
1000. The remainder, it is added, will
be repatriated at the expense of the
United States.

sci to be christened the American Boy,
and also to ascertain if their contribu-
ton could be legally accepted by the

The administrative morality of the
Americans" says the correspondent, lis
below par. The gambling hells of Manila
are taxed 1920 each and the police are
highwaymen who make arbitrary arrests
and then demand from $40 to $40 for the
release of their prisoners"
The correspondent further declares that
the Americans have monopolized all the
trade and swamped the markets with
their products, rendering European COM
petition impossible. AS an instance of this,
he alleges that California wines are sold
in Manila as genuine Bordeaux.
