CUBA's PHANTOM ARMY.
Fictitious Names Used to Pad the
Military Pay Roll

Washington, D. c., May Clone very
good reason why more of the soldiers OF
the Cuban army do not come up and get
their money is because they do not ex-
list. 1t was a spook pay roll that was
submitted to General Brooke, and three
fourths Of the names upon it were hct1-
tious. 1t represented the same army
that the scouts sent out by General
Miles tried to find and that Admiral
Sampson made preparations to trans
port around the city of Santiago.
When the emiSSarieS of General Co
mez arrived in Washington before the
war they solemnly assured General
Miles that their chief had from $4,000
to 900 able-bodied men under arms
eager to attack Havana, if the United
States would only furnish them provis-
ions and ammunition and clothing, and,
believing their statements, he made his
plan of campaign. 1t was asserted that
General Garcia had from TO- 900 to 5000
men in better condition than the army
of General Gomez, but the officers Gen
mez and General Garcia as to the part
they should perform found that the
former had only 167 men by actual
count and the latter about LOO.
When Admiral Sampson met General
Garcia to arrange for the transporta-
ton of his army from the west side of
Santiago to the east side, where he
could cooperate with General Shafter,
General Garcia officially notified him
that he had about 5000 men, and boats
for that number were provided, but
fewer than 1900 appeared, including
women and camp followers.
Everybody who has had anything to
do with the Cuban army has had the
same experience 1t took the Cuban
assembly long time to make up roll
of 10000 men, and it was their intention
to furnish repeaterS enough to repre-
sent the entire number. But they soon
found that the Yankees were too smart
for them; that the arrangements for
identification would make fraud prac-
ticallys impossible. That is the reason
why they did not want to give up their
arms. They have not 900 muskets in
all Cuba.
General Brooke has sent the president
a very reassuring dispatch to inform
him that there is no cause for anxiety
and no reason for disappointment over
the f1asco. 1t is expected that he will
return the money to the United States
very shortly, and he promises that he
will be responsible for the disarmament
of the imaginary Cuban army.

seventh might be said TO have been
Fitzsimmon's, but he did no particular
damage with his punches
The eighth saw the beginning Of the
end, for Fitzsimmons never regained
his balance after that round. Jeffrics
began the round with straight left
on the face that again brought the
blood out of his opponents mouth. The
Cornishman staggered against the
ropes, but came back for another facer.
There was fear In Fitzsimmons' corner
and Julian yelled to Fitzsimmons to be
careful. Fitzsimmons planted one Of
his lefts on Jeifries' jaw and staggered
him against the ropes. Fitzslmmons
looked like n beaten man.
The ninth round was all JeffrieS''
He sent the Australians head back
with series OF lefts, put his right ON
the body and avoided any serious pun

forward, all the time, however, but
was unable TO find his opponent,
The tenth was in reality where the
fight ended. Jehries rushed his oppo.
nent and downed him with left
swing. Fitzsimmons seemed out and
there was n moment OF the widest ex-
element Julian ran along the side OF
the ring and sprinkled water on his
fallen idol. At the end OF seven see

Again did the gong come 10 the aid

There was frantic effort TO revive the
champion OF champions, but he was
cleanly gone and his seconds could not
restore him.
The gong sounded and the eleventh
and last round commenced. Fitz.
simmons wabbled toward his opponent,
there was moment OF spdrring, and
the giant arms OF the young Califor-
nian shot through the air. II was left
and right and over. Fitzsimmons
dropped to the floor, and the timers
called of the seconds that called out
an old ring hero and heraled new
one.
As soon ms FitIsimmons was carried
to his corner the spectators crowded
