CHANGE THEIR MINDS.
Cubans Line Up For Their $75
Today.

Havana, May 29.-Fully one hundred
men with rifles were waiting in line to-
day for the opening of the office for the
payment of Cuban soldiers who will
give up their arms, and there were also
present about eight men with receipts
for arms, delivered up to the civil auth
critics. The majority of those with
rifles say they have had all the fighting
they want and add that they do not
care who takes the arms, so long as
they receive their SIS.
1t is probable that the payment will
continue here all day owing to the fact
that it takes some time to look up each
mans record.

the camp. One gang began work at
midnight and at o'clock it was re-
HeVed by another.
The Little Johnny mine closed down
for the day and many others were oper-
ated by half the usual force. Col Geo.
W. Cook and other milne managers were
in charge of the shovel and pick bri-
gade. Much hard work was required to
remove the ice from the rails, but the
track was finally cleared so that it was
possible to run into Leadville twenty
cars of coal that had been stalled at
Malta.
On the Colorado Midland a large force
of men working under the direction of
Agent Sneve succeeded in breaking the
blockade at SnOwden and brought in
thirty cars of coal
The Midland people believe they will
not need the assistance of the snow
shovelers at work on the Rio Grande,
but by tomorrow they will have their
road entirely open. They started a train
from Leadville today, bound for Den
yer. The passenger train which left
Denver last Tuesday was brought into
LeadviIIe and the road is now clear for
coal cars, which will be brought in be-
fore passenger trains
Present estimates are that the down.
town mines have coal enough to last
from three to five days and a supply
will be rushed to the Little Johnny and
other outlying mines
There are plenty of provisions in the
camp and more are promised from the
east tomorrow.
a shortage which is felt very much is
that of mining timbers which can not
be obtained owing to the deep snow.
This shortage will delay development
work for several months.
The situation at Aspen is quite as
desperate as at Leadville. No trains
are running to the great silver camp
on the west of the range and it is re-
ported that the mines are closing down
for want of fuel There have been
snowslides in the camp. but no fataIi-
ties have resulted, so far as known
Mountain roads to surrounding camps
have been impossible, the high
winds have piled up the snow fifteen to
twenty feet in places
The telephone line from Aspen to
Hunter Pass has undoubtedly been
swept away by a slide as it went down
several days ago. A large force of
men are at work shoveling out the road
to these mines.
West of LeadviIIe the railways are
still tied up tightly In the canyon of
the Grand there have been six snow
slides. One of them was 490 feet in
length and thirty-f1ve feet deep. In it
are huge boulderS and trees
Superintendent Sampla and Assistant
General Manager Schlacks are on the
ground experimenting the work of
clearing the Rio Grande track
The snow shovelers at Shoshone
struck today for an increase of wages
from $1.75 to $3.50 a day
The Marshall Pass is again closed but
the rotary is bucking the drifts there
and the narrow gauge may soon be re-
opened Down on the Cumbre Pass the
storm has put an end to railroading for

three men, the head of one badly
crushed Around them were a number
of instruments, the uses of which were
not understood by the TursUsos-
The police chief started for the spot
