ties The majority of those with T1fies
say they have had all the fighting they
want and all taht they do not care VINO
takes the arms SO long as they receive
their rs. NJ,
1t is probable that the payment Will
continue here all day Tong, owing to the
fact that ii takes some time to look up
each mans record.
Advices from Sienfueges say the re-
ports, under date of May 1o, OF rloting
there on the part of Cuban dock laborers
have been exaggerated, that not over
dozen men were engaged, and that only
man being killed and seven wounded, as

that there are number Of people after

that it would pay enormous dividends.
