Upon In the Soldiers Pay List

Havana (Specia). Gen. Maxine
Gomez, the chairman Of the commission
dealing with the matter, has just COM
pleted list of the revolutionary soldiers
entitled to pay.
In an interview General Gomez stated
that the list consists OF about 10000 SOL
diers, and does not include civil en-
ployees. He believes that the pending
loan will not cover more than half the
claims, and anticipates that the Cuban
Congress will provide for the payment
OF the balance in some form of due bill.
payable with interest. after a consider
able interval. and probably discourtable
and transferable.
The general says the work of his COM
mission is final. that lists have been pre-
pared with the mos; pa;nstaking care. re-
garding the requirements as To proofs OF
service, and that the subsequent revis-
ionary commission IS not authorized "a
change the lists except 10 add names 81
others proving themselves 10 be valid
soldier claimants. and Of those civil en-
ployees entitled to wages in connection
with the insurgent army, and further 10
attend to the details OF the payments.
General Gomez said the rate OF wages
allowed to an ordinary soldier Is 81 a
day DUNG the periods of his service.
Sergeants and commissioned officers are
separately computed. the amounts al
lowed ranging from few hundred dol
lars 10 $4,000. the latter sum being al
lowed TO himself as COMMANDMENTS chief.
The pay OF many generals and colonies
IS fixed at $4,000 and upward. The
majority of the privates will receive in
the vicinity of 5000. indicating two and
one-half years service
General Gomez said the total al
together exceeds the commissions ex-
pectations. but the claims were reviewed
so carefully that there is no doubt as TO
their justice. No allowances have been
made on account of disabilities and in
juries incurred.
The decidedly unpopular idea enter
tanned by the soldier element that the
army will be paid in full does not find
much credence in administration circles.
The total amount OF the claims has
caused some surprise and the matter is
at present in an indefinite shape. but it
is not believed that the government will
consider it advisable TO 60 beyond pay
ing the veterans proportionately 10 the
full extent of the loan. According 20
present indications the amount OF the
loan will not meet more than 80 to 90
per cent. of the total claims.
Nevertheless. il is expected that the
patriotism OF the Cubans will acquicsce
