Havana, Feb. 26.-The Cuban assembly
met today and heard the report OF the
committee which was sent to Washington
some time since to confer with the gov
eminent regarding Cuban affairs.
1t was finally decided to have the report
printed and to hand copy of it to each
member of the assembly, that they might
study it carefully. The fact that the
offer of So OOO,O 900, on basis of 500 pay
for each soldier was adopted and that
efforts to obtain more failed, makes OBJ
ligatory the assembly's ratification OF the
acceptance of the proposition of the United
