FROM THE CUBAN CAPITAL
Havana, April 14-The Cuban Army muster
rolls which were delivered last evening to Gov
ernor-General Brooke through Sehor Domingo
Mendez Capote. are prepared In neat clerical
style, the 200 broad sheets showing on their
face $4,000 names-60OO commissioned officers
and 200 non-commssioned officers and pri-
