Many Names Are of Persons Long Since Dead, Others Never Heard oi—Arms “Till Be Deposited With Mayor anoste. HAVANA, May 29.—-There were 111 applicants yesterday for shares in the $3,000,000 which the United States has offered as a gratuity to the Cuban troops. .Thirty were given $75 each. The others were not on the rolls, although they had guns, which they were ready to turn Ill, and certificates of service. _ . The United States military authorities consider that the rolls are very unrelia- ble. Indeed, the opinion is freely ex- pressed that a large proportion of the names are fictitious and that the rolls omit a majority of the names of those rightly entitled to share in the gratuity. The object of this, apparently, is to dis- credit the entire proceedings and to show the Cuban public that a large number of the troops refused to take American money. - Lieutenant Colonel George M. Randall of the Eighth United States infantry, the commissioner super-intending the distri- bution here, went carefully over the rolls of one battalion with its commandant. He pointed out 24 names of men who are dead and names of others 0 had not been heard of outside thei'fill _ Of those paid 25 tu' d-in arms— Mausers, Remingtons and c'arbines. The other five showed receipts from the al- calde vouching for the delivery of their arms. ' The payment will continue until noon today in Havana city, but Colonel Ran- dall believes it will be necessary to have additional days after awhile here and er tra pay rolls for men who have undoubt- edly seen service. He also believes that were the payment to be continued in Havana for the next three days at least 99 per cent of the entitled to apply would do so. Most of those who received shares yesterday asserted that they only heard by accident that the distribution was now actually taking place. Colonel Randall will send to Senor Per- fecto Lacoste, the mayor, all the arms turned in. The first payment outside of Havana will be made tomorrow at Santiago de las Vegas, whither Colonel Randall, the .clerks and 30 soldiers will go with the .paymaster. _ General Carpenter, militd'ry governor of the department of Puerto Principe, has arrived to attend the meeting of mil- itary governors summoned by Governor General Brooke for Thursday next.

LONDON, May 29.——The Washington correspondent lot The Daily Chronicle, re ferring to rthe Alaska boundary dispute, says: “President McKinley has all along been most anxious to bring about a set‘ tlement. He personally urged the Amer ican commissioners to make every reason- able concession and to go the extreme limit of generosity if necessary, so desir- ous was he to remove all cause of fric- tion. “Secretary Hay has been animated by the same motive, and the principal rea- son why he left the United States em‘ _bassy in London to'assume the portfolio of secretary of state was his hope of finally settling all the disputed ques- tions.” ‘ After reviewing the history of the com- mission’s deliberations, the correspondent says: ‘ “To agree in advance to cede a port would be making a farce of arbitration. The United States has shown a disposi- tion to make concessidns and has offered to buy out the Bering sea sealers at a sum double what their property is worth, besides making other concessions, while the concessions offered by Canada in re- turn are not very valuable.” The Daily Chronicle, in an editorial re- view of the situation, reproachcs Canada with blocking the way.

M Hts Informed the War Department That 30,000 Men Will Do. WASHINGTON, May 31.-—’The Post today says: “General Otis has informed the war department that he will be satisfied if the army under his command is kept at a maximum of 30,000. The president will give him this number. “The situation in the Philippines was the subject of an extended conference yesterday between the president and Ad- jutant General Corbin. In view of the more or less alarming reports which have been sent to the United States from Ma- nila it is important to know that the president does not share in the anxiety which these dispatches have naturally created. General Otis has kept in close touch with the authorities here, andif he was in the tight position which the press reports seem to indicate it is felt that he would not hesitate about mak- ing his dilemma known. On the con- trary, the advices received from him show that he is not in need of a largely increased army. He has cabled that the press reports of the activity of the in- surgents south of Manila have been greatly exaggerated, and he thinks that 30,000 men will be ample to meet all re- quirements. “The present strength of the army in the Philippines, including volunteers, -who are still in the service, is 36,000. \Vhen the volunteers return, some 24,- 000 regulars will remain, or 6,000 less than the number estimated as- necessary by General Otis. The re-enforeements now en route to Manila or under orders to depart will bring the total regulars -up to the required figure, but as there will be considerable loss through sick— ness it is proposed to decrease the com- panies now stationed in garrisons in this country to their minimum and increase the companies in the Philippines to their maximum. CORNELL A WINNER. Leads the University of Pennsylvania Crew by a Half Length. ITHACA, N. Y., May 31.—The Cor- nell-University of Pennsylvania boat race, which was postponed from the scheduled time of 3:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon, was finally rowed at 7:30. the lake, which had been exceptionally rough all day, having finally quieted down. Cornell reached the start at 7:15, Pennsylvania joining at 7:30. Consider- able time was spent in arranging the shells in position. Pennsylvaifia chose the inside course. Coach Courtney as- sisted with the work and, after the crews had started, went back to the Cornell launch, following the crews to the finish. At the word the Pennsylvanians had a slight advantage in catching the water first and gained nearly a third of a length after a dozen sharp strokes. Cor- nell did not attempt to spurt, but rowed a 32 stroke. Pennsylvania had started with 34 and from time to time increased it to 36. Cornell began to gainat the quarter mile, and at the mile had more than made up the loss at the beginning. Pennsylvania had lost about half a length at the mile and a quarterand began to put effort into their work. Cornell’s rowing did not vary, and although Penn- sylvania epushed the nose of her shell nearly even with the Ithacans at the mile and a half Cornell did not let out until about 300 yards of the finish. The men in the Cornell boat then rowed a 33 stroke, while Pennsylvania‘s went up to 37. The Ithacans gained slightly, and at the end won by fully half a length in 11 minutes 261/2 seconds. Pennsylvania's time was 11:28. Both crews finished strong and pulled to the boathouse in good form. THE ALASKA BOUNDARY. Ilr “'llfrid Lnurier Defines Canada’s Position and Spoke Firmly. OTTAWA, May 31,—ln the house Sir “'ilfrid Laurier, the premier, replying to a question relative to Canada’s position on the Alaska boundary question, said that Canada's position today was exact- ly what it was when the commission ad- journed. There had been no change, and there would be none on the part of Can- ada. “According to our construction of the treaty of,1825,” continued the premier, “the boundary line should follow the crest of the mountains nearest to the coast, passing over bays and creeks and inlets which are territorial waters,where- as the Americans maintain that the boundary line should be placed so as to place in American territory the strip of territory which was given to Russia by the treaty of 1825 beyond and above all headwater. That was the contention, I may say, which was maintained all along by both parties, and it may be assumed that this was the position maintained by the British commissioners. “After negotiating on these lines for a long time without reaching an agree- ment we proposed arbitration on the Venezuelan precedent. not coupled with any other conditioh.” CONDENSED Diserrans.

Miss Myrtle Faulds Has Thrilling Experiehce With RunawayTeam. ONE BROKEN BlilDLE‘. Horses Ran lnto Wire Fence and Wire Had to' be Cut to Release Them. ()ne of the most exciting runaways seen in town occurred about 9 o'clock Sunday morning in front. of William .A. Benedict’s residence on Main street. Mr- Benedict’s son VVillian drove up to the house with a pair of Dann & Banks’handsome black horses attach- ed to a buggy. Seated in the carriage was Miss Myrtle Faulds who was to accompany young Benedict in a ride to Danbury. As the young man alight-- ed from the vehicle and entered the house, his father stepped out of the yard and stood at the horses heads At thisjuncturea trolley car came along from Winnipauk, and as the off horse appeared frightened at. the car Mr. Benedict caught hold of his bridle As the car approached the horse com- menced to back, and the check strap of the bridle broke pulling the bridle from his head. The horse thus freed, made a dash up Main street with his mate with no one in the carriage but Miss Faulds. Miss Faulds, nothing daunted quick- ly picked up the lines and although] they were fairly flying she cooly tOOk a. turn of the reins about her wrists and endeavored to keep them in the road. ' When the head of Main street was Nash’s lane reached the horses" turned corner and entered Tyndall’s through which they dashed. At the corner of Granl street and the lane the team turned again, this time overturning the carriage and throwing Miss Faulds out upon the steep bank. The horses continued their mad run into the garden of Mrs. Edward Brady on Grand street, where becoming en- tangled in a wire fence they were thrown. Miss Faulds was taken into Mrs. Brady’s house, but outside of the shock . and excitement escaped uninjured. The horses finding themselves en- snared in the wire commenced to kick and soon placed the carriage in a wrecked condition. They were releas- ed by cutting the wire and both escap- ed with but a few cuts. The S'fitnmer Paris. COVERACK, Cornwall, May 81.-—Tho position of the American line steamer Paris remains unchanged.
