"The history OF the money is curious.
1t was thought at first that It ought not

honor to the Cubans. The aspect is
changed now, and 1t should cause pain
to see wandering through Havana sol
dlers begging for what 1t was supposed
they would refuse with serenity.
''The formation Of the supplementary
lists of persons lncapacltated in the war

cost 5000. This money was furnished
by Governor General Brooke, as the
Cubans do not possess the ground upon
which they tread. Those who do not
know the work and the expense In

hold responsible some one who in no
way helped to get the money nor asked
anyone to receive 1t.
Those whose names appear on the
supplementary lists should not be paid
before those who are on the original
lists, so as to preserve order.
"As the money was the gift OF the
American government, am paIned by

were trained to go hungry on their
march to liberty. The republic viii pay

JOHANNESBURG, July 2s.-A rumor
is current here that the rsad at first
refused to accept President Kruger's
resignation only by the chaIrman's
casting vote. Any way, the dynamite
company appear to be alarmed at the
apparent determination Of the volks-

submitted to the government proposals
for the reduction OF the price OF dyn-
amite gelatine. These are accompanied,
however, by certain stipulations. one
being that the reduction should be de-
pendent on the annual sale Of 100000
cases.
The volksraad adjourned the discus
sion OF these proposals. 1t u stated
that the executive council at Pretoria
has adopted the new distribution pro-

stead OF four, and an additional six
