Troops Are Paid.

Havana, april 30.-Governor General
Brooke purposes bringing the matter of
the payment of the Cuban troops to
head Immediately. Yesterday he sent
request to General Gomez that the latter
and the Junta on consulting Cuban gen.
erals should come, at once to q decision as
to whether the Cuban muster rolls are to
stand, as now made up, or are to be Ie-
duced, as General Gomez has been expect
ing. If he consult lis own desires, Gen.
Brooke would pay 800 per man to such
as are entitled to share in the S3,000.000
put If General Gomez continues to vouch
for 80, $50 troops payment will be begun
without further delay on that basis. On
Tuesday, May 2, three months will have
elapsed since Mr. Porter, President Nc
Kinleys special commissioner, came to a
formal agreement with General Gomez
that it was of thei first Importance that
the Cuban army should be paidiand dis

Washington wishes the army problem
settled as quickly as possible so as to be
able to withdraw at least two more regi

pect that there will be much outlawry.
Some they think inevitable, but it will be
put down SO promptly as to discourage
adventurers.
Every business hous in Havana except

NO NEWS FROM MANILA.
Taken To Mean There: Is No Change
in Situation.

Washington, April 30.-Not a line of
official news from Manila was received
today by either the war or the navy de-
partment. Since the opening of the cam
paign against the insurgents scarcely a
day has passed without adespatches from
Gen. Otis and the absence OF advices today
is taken by the war officials to mean
that pending further negotiations on the
part oil. the Filipinos for peace the stu
alton Is precisely as General Otis reported
1t.
1t is known that supplies are being
pushed forward from Manila to the troops
at the front, in order that they may be
prepared for an advance movement,
should such action become necessary.
There has been no suspension of hostili-
ties, but 1t is regarded as likely that Gen.
eral Otis, ,iwhile not losing any of the ad-
vantage he had gained, will afford the
Filipinos reasonable time to consider the
situation and terms he presented to the
envoys of General Luna 1t is expected
confdentially by officials of the war de-
partment that the way to peace now be-
ing paved, further negotiations will be
opened by the insurgents. 1t is believed
to be probable that the next official news
received from Manila Will be that the
Filipinos have made additional overtures
toward conclusion OF hostilities.
The war department has been notified of
the arrival at San Francisco from Ma
nila of the transports Sherman and
Grant. The officials are greatly gratified
ct the rapid run OF the Sherman. She
made the trip of more than seven,thousand
miles in twenty six days.

sion, told Col. Arguelles that II the insur-
gents would now lay down their arms,
he and his colleagues Of the commission
would consult them regarding the plan
Of government to be submitted to Presi-
dent Mckinley. He said he could not
promise that all their suggestions would
be adopted but he could assure them that
there would be presumption In favor
Of their suggestions, adding that the
commissioners would be especially desir-
GUS Of satisfying the legitimate aspira-
tiops Of the Filipinos.
When Col. ArgueIles protested that
unconditional surrender would be humil-
iation, Mr.. Sohurman replied:
"There would be no humiliation In
General Otis treating our brother Fill
pinos as General Grant treated our broth
ar Americans at Appomattox. MIR.
Schurman said today to the correspond
ent Of The Associated Press:
II believe Col. Arguelles is personally
sincere and honest. though l have no
means Of asocrtaining the sentiments and
aims of the authorities behind him. The
Filipino people. like other Asiatic people,
have no trust in mere words without force
be hind them; but, with force, l consider
q conciliatory spirit of the utm ost impor-
tance. believe that, when peace has
been established governing the Filipinos
will not be difficult matter, provided
We show them hrmness, Justice and kind
ness. "At the present time they dis.
trusts and dislike us, but these senti-
ments, which are perhaps not unnatural,
will soon be dispelled by the objects of the
good government we have promised to
establish here. 1t will be the foremost
duty of American officials to understand
and sympathiz, with the Filipinos them
selves.
Yesterday. before Gen. Otis had issued
the order directing Gen. Iawton to re-
turn to Angat, the troops of his command
encountered the rebels in circle of hills
outside San Rafael, about five miles
northwest of Angat dislodging them after
an hours fighting. The Americans had
three wounded. A thousand armed Fill
pinos fell back as the Americans ad-
vanced. The villagers met Gen. Lawton,
