Success for American Delegates.

stitutes = distinct success for the Ameri-

the Russians declined to take any part In
the discussion. on the ground that the sub

Count Muravien
The Americans urged that the Dutch in
vttation included all subjects bearing on
the circular, view which the conference
upheld. As yet the Russians have not
abandoned their position. and they will
make another effort tomorrow to have the
American proposals rejected on technical
grounds. Interesting developments are ak
pected."
Praise for American Lawyers.
The Times, in an editorial, dealing with
the prospect that the result OF the peace
conference will be permanent arbitration
tribunal, says:
mo government or people have devoted
themselves with greater ardor to the study
Of the theory of arbitration than the
government and people Of the United
States. The Americans not only possess
great lawyers. but are q community in
which knowledge OF legal principles is more
widespread than in any other
American jurists have done much to
mold the doctrines of International iaw in
the past and in their treatment of large
questions they have often displayed luni-
nous insight. firm grasp OF fundamental
principles and a solid erudition not sur
passed by the legal writers of any modern

HAVANA. May 2&-There were II apple
cants today for shares In the S.U0u0
which the United States has offered as
gratuity to the Cuban troops. Inirty
were given SIS each. The others were NOT
on the rolls, although they had guns which
they were ready to turn In and certincetes
of service
The United States military authorities
consider that the rolls are very unreliable.
Indeed, the opinion Is freely expressed
that a large proportion OF the names are
fictitious and that the rolls omit a MAJOR
ity Of the names Of thoss rightly entitled
10 share in the gratuity. Tho object OF
this, apparently, is to dfscredtt the pro-
ceedings and to show the Cuban public
that a large number Of the troops re-
fused to take American money.
Lieut.. Col. George NJ. Randall, of the
Eighth United States infantry. the com.
missioner experimenting the distribution
here, went carefully over the rolls OF ono
battalion with its commander. He point
ed out thirty-four names OF men who are
dead and names OF others who had not
been heard of outside the rolls.
OF those paid today. twenty-five turned
in arms-Ma.sers, Remingtons and car
bines. The other five showed receipts
from the alcalde. vouchlng for the deliv-
cry Of their arms.
The payment will continue until noon
tomorrow IN HAVANA CITY, out COi. ktdH~
DAN says 1t will be necessary TO have adj
diticnal days after a while here, and ex-
ira payrolls for men who have undouhtsd.
~ seen service. He also believes that wero

three months at least % per cent. Of
those entitled to apply would do no. Most
Of those who received shares today as
serted that they only heard BY accident
that the distribution was now actually TAX
