Puerto Principe.

Havana, May 29.-There were Ill APP,
plicants yesterday for shares in thes
$3,O00,OOo which the United States has
offered as a gratuity to the Cuban
troops. Thirty were given SIS each.
The others were not on the rolls, al
though they had guns, which they
We're ready to turn in, and certificates
of service.
The Rolls Very Unreliable.
The United States military authori-
ties consider that the rolls are very un-
reliable. Indeed the opinion is freely
expressed that large proportion of
the names are fictitious. and that the
rolls omit majority of the names of
those rightly entitled to share in the
gratuity. The object of this. appar-
emily, is to discredit the entire pro-
ceedings and to show the Cuban pub
lie that large number of the troops
refused to take American money.
Contained the Names of Dead Men,
Lieut.-Col. G. NJ Randall, of the
Eighth United States infantry. the
commissioner experimenting the dis
tribution here, went carefully over the
rolls of one battalion with its conn
mandant. He pointed out "a names

OF those paid yesterday 25 turned in

bines. The other five showed receints
from the alcalde vouching for the de-
lievery of their arms.
To Continue Until Noon TODAY
The payments will continue until
noon to-day in Havana city, but Col
Randall believes it will be necessary
to have additional days after awhile

have undoubtedly seen service. He
also believes that were the payment 70

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
Vetoed by the Governors.

Gov. Stephens vetoed the supplement
tary appropriation bill for the educa-
tional, eleemosynary and penal insti-
tutions, it. being House bill, No. S91.
Ee did this after conference with the
other state officials, who agreed with
him that the appropriation exceeded
the probab revenue of the state for
she next two years. In making esti-
mates of the revenue for the next two
years the state officials do not count
on anything from the beer inspection
hill, even if the courts should sustain
its constitutionality, because it is be-
lieved it will require about two years
for the courts to finally dispose of the
bill when its constitutionality is ques-
toned, as it is sure to be when it goes
into operation in August next. The
bill vetoed carried the following APP
preparations: For deaf and dumb
school, $4,000; reform school for boys,
$4,000; industrial school for girls, $12,-
500; Fulton insane asylum. $3.50; con-
federate home, $1,000; federal home,
$4,000; school of mines, $4,000; agri-
cultural college, $4,000, and state PEN
