SOME CUBANS GOT CASH.
One General Threatened to Have Men
Shot, who Wanted to secure
Their Paw.

HAVANA, May 30.--Three hundred
Cuban privates arrived to apply for
payment, but though Lieutenant Colo
mel George M. Randall of the Eighth
United States infantry, the commits
sioner experimenting the distribution
here, kept his Office open from 10 a. m.
to p. m, only LIZ could be paid dur
ing that interval, as each man took up
several minutes. Many who brought
arms were not on the rolls at all.
Ninety-nine rifles were surrendered,
most of the applicants declining to take
any chances in turning the weapons
over to the mayor of Havana, evidently
believing it would be better to give
them direct to the Americans.
The Cuban officers who on the first
day tried to discourage any who were
disposed to apply, finding now that the
tide of feeling had turned, were offer
ing all the assistance possible to Colonel
Randall
AT the conclusion of the days work
there were more than 200 who had not
been heard. These will have to wait
until after the return of the pay car on
June 10, when there will probably be
extra days assigned for Havana.
Today the pay car was expected to
leave, carrying money, Colonel Randall,
his escort, physician and the paymas.
ters, One thousand posters were sent
into the province of Pinar del Rio to
announce the places and dates of pay
ment.
General Pedro Delgado, commanding
the Cuban forces around Guanajay,
called his men together, told them they
were disbanded and ordered them to
take their arms and go home. Of the
200 some 30, who were mounted on
ponies, said they would ride to Havana
and get their money. Thereupon Del
gado, who was formerly q notorious
bandit, called upon the rest to draw up
in line and to shoot any man who took
the road to Havana. The 30 mounted
men gloomily dispersed. They will
have an opportunity to receive their
| shares later.
The disbanding of the troops con-
| tinues. Twelve hundred men, under
the command of General Jacinto Her
andez, who were encamped at San Jose
de Las Lajas, about 2l miles from Ha-
vana were mustered out. They were
1 given certificates of service redeemable
\ under the first Cuban government.

THE NAVY'S DEAD.
eestinG Places of Bluejackets I'm
Many Lands-BuriaI Regulations.

The navy's dead will not be forgotten on
Memorial day. In the numerous ports all
over the world where officers and men
have found their final resting places me-
mortal services will be observed by the
companies of any United States men-of-
war that may be in the harbors. If they
are unfortunately distant from points
where the graves of the navy s dead are To-
Gated, then the diplomatic and consular
representatives of this government will
probably place flowers on the toInbs to
show that the government of the United
States remembers its servants.
The burial Of naval officers and men OF
the United States service in foreign lands
naturally began with the appearance Of
the American navy on the seas. The REQ
ords of the navy show the first instance Of
the interment Of Americans abroad to have
occurred at Port Mahon, in the Mediter-
ranean, where the remains of the victims
Of the Tripolitan war were taken and
buried with solemn ceremonies. Years
afterward Port Mahon was abandoned,
and the bodies of those who die in navy
ships on the European station are now
taken to Spezia, Italy, where they are in
tered in the foreign portion Of the ceme-
terry located there.
With the assignment Of ships to the four
quarters of the globe the need of cemeter-
les grows. In the east one can find Ameri-
can naval dead at Yokohama, Japan; at
Chemulpo, Korea; at Hongkong, China,
and at other points along the Chinese
coast. In South America Rio de Janeiro
or Montevideo is usually selected as the
burial place for navy dead. Any deaths
that may occur in south Pacific waters are
followed by the interment of the remains
on shore wherever the ship may happen to
be at the time. There is permanent sta
tion for one ship Of the service at Sitka,
Alaska, and q cemetery there is occupied by
the remains of a number of officers and
men who have expired while on duty at
that station.
The regulations of the government serv-
Ice prescribe no rigid'obscrvance of Memo
rial day. 1t is generally observed, how
ever, as a national holiday not only by
all the ships of the service but by the
naval forces in all the navy yards in tho
country. At the latter places the flag is
expected to be at half mast until 12
| o'clock midday, when it is hoisted to the
top of the flagstaff
1t is usual for the Grand Army posts in
the different cities near navy yards to aid
in making green the graves of those buried
in the naval cemeteries. En-

PROPOSAL BY AMERICANS.
Nation to Act as Arbitrator
In Disputes,

The HAGUE, May 30.-The drafting
committee, or subcommittee of the ar
bitration committee, met and discussed
the Russian scheme, adopting with
slight notifications the first six articles.
Count Nigra, chief of the Italian
delegation, submitted a proposal of
mediation and arbitration consisting of
six articles, in the form of an amend
ment to the Russian project.
The Americans also submitted an
amendment, demanding that, in the
event of dispute between two nations,
each should choose another nation to
act together as arbitrators to settle the
differences without bloodshed. This
must not be confounded with the pro-
posal for permanent arbitration tri-
bunal which the Americans will intro
duce during the week.
The Italian proposal included a clause
providing that mediation and arbitra-
ton shall not stop mobilization or
preparations for war. Neither the
American nor Italian amendment has
yet been discussed.

g1ve 20 persons nonorably discharged
from service in the army or navy Of the
United States in the Spanish American
war. as well as the veterans of the
Civil war, preference in the making Of
appointments. The term of eligibility,
heretofore one year from the date of
the entry of the name of the eligible
candidate on the civil service commits
sion's register, is extended for further
period of one year in the discretion Of
the commission.
Rule is so amended as to exempt
persons who served in the war with
Spain from the one-year limit in the
matter of reinstatement after discharge
from the service. This provision also
applies alike to the widows of such
soldiers, but the former provision in
cluding nurses is eliminated. Rein
statements generally may be made
hereafter without regard to length OF
time of separation where dismissal from
the service has been due to reduction
of force specifically required by law.
Still another provision made in this con-
nection Is as follows:
"Any person dismissed from the ser.
vice upon charges of delinquency or OF
misconduct may be reinstated, subject
to the other conditions of these rules
without regard to the one year time
limit of this rule, upon the certificate
of the proper appointing officer that h'
has thoroughly investigated the cas'
and that the charges upon which the
| dismissal was based were not true"

resolution declaring that WI at is known
as the Cox county executive and central

Kemper law, that had been declared
unconstitutional and was, therefore, il

WORSHIP OF THE HEROIC.
Memorial Day n Continuation of o
Custom Born In Antiquity.

Running in parallel lines throughout
the history Of civilization we find love Of
the beautiful and worship of the heroic
Joined together, the ever reminding evil
dence of the presence of those higher and
better qualities of our imperfect natures
which lift humanity to plane above the
commonplace of a merely material exist
ence.
This companionship Of the artistic
with the heroic has taught us that the
Office Of the beautiful and noble in art 10
to give living and enduring expression to
the heroism of the ages.
Today in our humble and imperfect
way we assist to continue the beautiful
custom born of antiquity. The solemn
and impressive magnitude of the work be-
fore us will attest for many generations to
come the love and respect a people bear
for our brave comrades who, nearly 85
years ago, laid down their lives upon this
never fading field of honor; not only a
field Of honor for those who fell face to the
foe but for those who fought shoulder to
shoulder with them. Many have since
fallen by the way, but those here today
who tread again this sacred soil testify
their love and loyalty for the dead of their
regiment, who here gave their lives for
cause they had sworn to promote and
maintain. General Hawkins

Guests and Servants Gotten Out-Loss
Probably Over $4,000.
CINCINNATI, Nav 30.-Early last even
ing an electric light wire got crossed in
the billiard room Of the Burnett House.
A guest noted the flash, but as nothing
more was seen, the matter was dropped.
About 1890 o'clock last night smoke
was seen to issue from the ceiling OF
the billiard room. A silent alarm was
sent to the fire department. When the
engines came and the situation was eX-
amined q ten-blow was sent in prompt
ly. Meantime all the guests had been
awakened and brought down stairs.
This was done without a panic or ex-
element.
The only excitement was among the
servant girls, % Of whom clambered
down the fire-escape excitedly when the
exit was easy for them through the
halls and stairway.
The fire was confined to the extreme
northwestern corner of the building,
where it smouldered its way up through
the partitions and broke through the
roof. About 80 it was completely un-
der control. The damage by fire and
water was confined to the portion men,
toned and was not above $4,000 or $lO,-
600. The eastern and southern parts of
the building, comprising four-tifths OF
its space. were not affected.

THE LUTHERAN MlNlSTERIUM.
Death OF Rev. DIR. Ruperti Announced
Mission Trouble.


READING, Pa, May 30.-In the Luth-
eran ministerium Rev. DIR. A. Spaeth
read letter announcing the death of
Rev. DR.. Justus Ruperti, superintendent
of mission work in Germany, at his
home at Holstein. He was at one time
pastor of st. Matthew's German church,
New York.
The greater part OF the morning was
taken up with the report of the commit
tee which considered the annual report
of President Laird. 1t was read by
Rev. DIR. Fry of Philadelphia and its
recommendations were nearly all
adopted.
During the discussion ON native mis-
sionary topics, Rev. Drs. Seip and
Schindel insinuated that things were
not as they should be in the missionary
field in India and declared that they
would not be averse to telling what
they knew about it. 1t was agreed to
take up the subject later with open
doors.
A three hours discussion took place
later relative to the sudden resignation
of several missionaries in India. 1t de
veloped that the missionaries left their
posts because native Christian of
Rajah Mundry was ordained despite
their protest. Rev. Calvin Kuder, one
OF the missionaries, was present, and
said this was the whole cause of the
trouble. A resolution was finally passed
that they be asked To continue work

Thoughts Concerning the Observ-

A veteran soldier bearing flowers with
which to decorate the graves of comrades
impersonates the spirit of Memorial day,
says a correspondent of the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican. Soldiers of the regu-
lar army, navy and state militia uniting
with the Grand Army in the peaceful dem
onstration; the quiet gatherings at armo-
ries, churches, halls and public squares;
the private with musket and polished
bayonet; the officer with sword sheathed
in cleaning scabbard; the waving plumes
and gay accouterments of the select COM
pany; the artillerymen, proud of their
polished cannon; the cavalrymen, aiming
to witch the world with noble horse.

the privilege to mingle with the men who
made emancipation possible; naturalized

American citizens; the orator Of the day,
proud to be the orator of the day; the
leader of the band, with his imperial and
impressive gestures; the band, playing
hymn, song or dirge with the same wea-
ried and perfunctory air; the stirring roll
of drums as the closed ranks move as by
spontaneous impulse; the solemnity as the
columns march with reverent tread into
the slumbering churchyard the appealing
voice of prayer; the placing of the floral
tributes that leave the soldiers graves like
blossoming mounds-all this and more is
familiarly connected with the observance
of Memorial day in the city.
