Havana April 5.-Plantation raids
and the carrying of OF cattle and horses
by outlaws are reported today as taking
place in the provinces OF Puerto Prin-
cipe, Santa Clara, Matanzas and Pirar
del Rio. The Cuban troops in those
districts are chasing the marauders. no
United States troops thus far having
been sent after them.
The military administration intends
10 suppress the so-called brigands at
widely separated points by means OF
the rural guards, and has no present
intention OF sending American cavalry
or infantry through an unknown and
tangled country after these nimble
thieves.
Iowa volunteers left today for Savan-
nah by the steamer San Antonio. Tho
Third Kentucky regiment, now at Ma
tanzas, will leave socn. The trans
ports fitzpatrick and Florida are due
to arrive here by the end OF the week
and day or two later will probably
see a majority OF the volunteers now
remaining in Cuba on their way home.
1t is reported that hereafter the edi-
tors of newspapers will be responsible
for articles published by them. Here
tofore individual writer's have been
held legally accountable and the edi-
tors have hired scapegoats To serve out

TO PAY THE CUBAN SOLDIERS
The Assembly Ignored In the Matter
and Muster Rolls Secured Elsewhere

Havana, April 5.-The dissolution OF
the Cuban military assembly, announc-
ed in these dispatches last night, does
not cause any particular comment
among Cubans or Americans here, such
a step having been discounted two
weeks ago. The American military au-
thorities, while pleased that an obstacle
to the dispersal of the Cuban army
has been removed, had been preparing
to distribute the $4,000, 900 without the
aid of the assembly's rolls, by causing
TO be drawn UP duplicate rolls. In this
operating with the Cuban commanders
IN their provinces. In addition, the as
seInbly's rolls are being verified and
corrected by independent inquiries, a
task that may last another month. In
spite or this, the distribution Of money
to the cuban soldiers will possibly be-
gin IN the vicinity of Havana within
a fortnight. The general rules control
ling the distribution are to exclude all
men who have enlisted since July>17th,
1898, and to exclude former soldiers
now holding government positions or
belonging to the rural guards, first
paying each private and non-commis-
stoned officer $780, Then, if as expect
ted, balance remains, 500 will be paid
to each officer. If, after this, there is
any money left it will be disposed of
as the president desires.
