CUBAN ARMY NUMBERS 1929
These Figures Are the Result of al
Official Inquiry.


A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
The Cuban army has 1929 men, all told.
This number includes corporals and SER
geants, but excludes commissioned officers.
The figures are the result of the official
inquiry instituted under the direction of
the department commanders for the use of
the military administration.
The reports of the governors of the prov
inces are as follows: Santiago, none;
Puerto Principe, 800; Santa Clara, 4,769;
Matanzas, 300; Havana province, 2,450,
which includes 375 in the city of Havana
in Pinar del Rio, $500.
General Gomez originally reported that
there were 1900 privates and non-com-
stoned officers. General RoIoff, inspector
general of the Cuban army, was to have
eral Brooke, but he has not done SO. As a
creature of the Cuban military assembly
he has Joined with it against General Co
mez. His muster rolls, in whatever form
they may be, have been given to Senior Ra-
fael Portuendo, president of the executive
ernor general has assurances that they
will soon be turned over to him.
Brigadier General Ernst will aid the mill
tary administration in distributing the So,
100000. 1t has not yet been decided
whether the whole amount is to be dis
and the balance retained by the United
States government.
The statement that there are no Cuban
soldiers in the province of Santiago has
caused considerable surprise here, as it
was supposed there were many Cubans still

SAMPSON FAVORS AN ALLIANCE.
Says America Would Gain More Than
EnEIand hY 1t.

England
LONDON, March 22.-The Times pub
fishes this morning a letter from a cor
respondent in Bermuda, who describes Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS visit there last month,
and gives an authorized interview with
the admiral.
According to the correspondent Admiral
Sampson, remarking upon the marvellous
change in American opinion said
Formerly England was regarded as the
only European power with which the Unit
ed States was likely to have serious diff
ferences. Now we regard England as our
best, perhaps our only friend. L cannot say
whether this feeling will prove permanent,
but l hope 1t may. Possibly we could not
hope for more than England's moral sup
port, in the first instance, in any conflict
with continental power; but in times of
real difficulty it would ripen, sooner or
later, into a defensive alliance.
Il say frankly that in my opinion the
United States has more to gain from such
an alliance than England has. Therefore,
L rejoice unfeignedly at the change of SEN
timent in the United States l am not less
gratified that no such change Is needed in
Great Britain, and if any words of mine
can cement friendship calculated to bene-
hit the whole world, it is a pleasure to my
self and duty to my country to utter
them"
