CUBAN PAY ROLLS.
Col. CeSpedeS Denies That They
 Were Padded.

Havana. June 27.-COl. Carlon Ces- peCies says that the pay rolls which were originally turned over to General Brooke failed to show anything like the true strength of the Cuban army. This. according to him. was partly due to the fact that they contained only the names of those living ill 1S9S Ac- cording to his calculations, no fewer than 5000 soldiers were killed out right or fatally wounded in skirmishes or battles, which were almost con- tiuuOuS. He is satisfied that tile loss was at the rate of one daily for each of the six army corps, and as the war lasted almost fOrty-tWo months, that would make the number killed about 1000 He believes also that no fewer than 14000 died of disease.
 Tn the lists made after the truce was signed, It was Impossible 10 cover all, says Col. CespedeS. owing to the lack of records. There was nothing to go by but memory, q majority of the men having left for their homes, thus adding to tine difficulty of the situa- ton; but the statements accusing the commanders of padding the rolls are, he emphatically asserts, entirely without foundation.
 General ROloff has 34 men now at work upon the lists, preparing dis charges. In his opinion no fewer thaD 10000 were killed or died of disease in the course of the war
 General Come is satisfied that, fr cluding civilians, 5O,O0O able bodied Cubans perished on account of the war; and he believes that the figureS of Col Cespedes underestimate rather than exaggerate the facts in the case.
