ing the American Grntuity In San
tiaGO Province.
Havana, July 9.-The reception and bail
given last evening by Gen Ludlow, the
military commander, outshone every other
social function in Havana In recent years.
Inumerabie red, white and blue electric
lights, thousands of roses, hundreds of
flags ana no end of sabres, bayonets and
rifles artistcaHy grouped made the scene
within the palace memorable.
More than a thousand guests attended.
Music was furnished by two military
bands. All the foreign consuls were in ev-
idence, most of them wearing glttterng
orders, and many of the women wore
handsome jewels. Gen. Ludlow gave the
function in honor of Independence Day,
and the representative Cubans and Span
iards of Havana were present
Seeking the Grntuity.
American officials here are surprised at
the large number of Cubans now apply
ing in the province of Santiago for a share
in the American gratuity. The Cuban Of
fcers had assured them that there were
not a hundred men in the province who
would accept money from the United
States, basing the assurance on telegrams
which purpOrted to come from Santiago.
Ts-lr. -. fbaea
dispatches were inspired by Cuban NAL
contents here, ana concreted in the In
slaterra cafe, 1t was stil felt that these
opponents of a rational solution of the
cuban army question might be able to
prevent a large number from applying 10
the American paymasters.
Those who knew the facts of the case be-
lieved that the Santiago insurgents We're
much underes timated on the rolls espe-
claimed that more than 60 per cent. OF
the army was in Santiago province IL
truns out that the jealousy that existed in
war times between the Eastern and West
ern troops sti.l exists. and that those In
Santiago province are more likely TO re-
ject than accept advice from Havana.

REssMAN's ROOMS RIFLED.
scandaIOus Reports Circulated After
His Death.

Paris, July 9.-scandalous reports are in
circulation here in connection with the
death of Signor c. Ressman, formerly
Italian ambassador to France. il is al
legged that while he was lying at the point
of death, three persons, including an Of
ticial of the Italian embassy, rifed his
rooms and look away a quantity of pa
peTs.
The anti-Semite journals connect the
story with the Dreyfus affair. 1t appears
that about a fortnight ago, Signor Ress-
man had an immense quantity of docu-
ments destroyed, declaring that if they
were left they might harm various peo-
pie"
1t Is also suggested that the search may
have been instigated by Signor Crispi,
the former Italian prime minister, who
practically dismissed SigEor Ressman IRON
the Italian embassy in t"aTis in 1885, be
cause the diplomatst had failed TO make
the French press favorable to the Crspi
government.
