Havana, May 29.-Gen. Pedro Del
gado, commanding the Cuban forces
around Guanajay, called his men to-
gether to-day, told them they were dis
banded and ordered them to take their
arms and so home. OF the two hum
dred, some thirty who were mounted
on ponies. said they would ride to Ha-
vana and get their money. Thereupon
Delgado, who was formerly a notorious
bandit, called upon the rest to draw
up in line and shoot any man who
took the road to Havana The thirty
mounted men gloomily dispersed. They

1t is said that most of the Cubans,
who, though having arms, did not fig
ure in the muster rolls when they APP
piled for payment, were furnished with
the weapons by friends at Gaanbacoa,
where many arms had been stored
with keepers of grocery shops by peo-
pie who had purchased them from the
Spanish guerillas and volunteers.
These We're given out to enable the
holders to secure SHARES in the Amerl-

edly, entitled to payment. have also OBJ
tanned arms from the same source. and
are thus able to retain the weapons
that they used during the war.

command of Gen. Jacinto Hernandez,
who were encamped at San Jose de las

Three hundred privates arrived dur
ing the day to apply for payment. bus
though Lieut. Colonel George NJ. Ran
dali, of the Eighth United States infan-
try, the commissioner superintending
the distribution here kept his Office
open from 10 a. m. to D. m only H.
could be paid during 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 appli-
cants 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.
All day it was virtually impossible
to get through the front door OF the
office unless the sentry cleared the way.

day tried to discourage any who were
disposed to apply. finding now that the

GENERAL NEWS FROM THE
SEAT OF WAR.

New York, May pa special to the
Herald from Washington says: Infor
nation received here in private letters
from officers serving in the Philip
pines state that the Filipinos show
no respect to the American dead. In
one instance an officer who was on the
firing line says he VIZ shocked to see
three bodies Of American soldiers, who
had been killed in an advance, and
which were brought within the Amer
lean lines badly mutilated. The ears
OF each of the corpses had been re-
moved, the noses cut Off and the hearts
torn out.
Such mutilation disproves Aguinal-
dos claim that the insurgents are con-
Quoting civilized warfare. The
American troops give the Philippine
dead a decent burial, and provide every
comfort and afford the best medical
treatment possible to the wounded.

The New Shiph.

| The decision OF Secretary LONG on the
! armor-plato question insurcs progress In
the construction Of n majority of the new
| fighting ships of the navy. He will accept
| the proposal Of the Bethlehem and Carne-
| Clio companies to continue furnishing
Harvey armor at $4OO ton, but will limit
tho purchases Of such armOr to the plates
| for the now monitors Arkansas, Connectl-
cut, Florida and Wyoming, and to tho d.
agonal armor for tho battlcships Maine,
Missouri and Ohio.
Two distinct quotations. were involved in
this decision. Ono was whether the llar-
vcy armor could be purchased under the
peculiar wording OF the act Of Congress, as
engrossed or printed, n clerical blundcr
having occurred In this nero formal stage
OF the enactment. What both branches OF
Congress unquc-tionably agreed to, rs tho
result OF conference, was the supply Of
armor at $500 Il ton on the ships already
building, while insisting that only $500 n
ton should be allowed for the three now
est battl"ships. the Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Georgia, and the three ar
mored cruisers West Virginia, Nebraska
and California, not yot laid down. Tho
what Congress thus agreed to, and il Ia safe
to say that he will never be called to ac-
count on the ground that he substituted an
Interpretation OF the act founded on what
Congress did not agree to.
The other question was whether. with
tho superior claims of the Krupp urmor, it
WAS worth while to go on further with the
use OF Harvey nrmor. But, as to that,
some doubt was raised In Congress as to
whether Krupp armor Is really quite as
much better than Harvey as 1t il asserted
to be. The question whether Krupp or
Harvey armor shall he used for the sides
and turrets of the Maine class can be de-
cided later.
II. then, the decision OF the Navy De-
partmcnt has been correctly reported, in
stead OF WORK being checked on thirteen
new armored ships, it will 60 on with

The Only Cure for Anti-Semitism

The argument of MAX NoRDAU TINT the

either "ceasc being minority or cease

sound. That is, they must either adopt

Palestine or give up their distinction as u
peculiar people by becoming assimilntod
with other races. Mr.. NoHDAu assumes
that to break down this barrier of race
separation they must be baptized and be-
come Christians, but this is not so obvious.
The basis of the anti-Scmitc prejudice is
not religious but rather chronological.
Any people who insist on Keeping thom-
selves distinct peculiar, SO that they pre-

accompanying traits of character, which
provoke the dislike of other peoples, even
without any assistance from religious pref
