Many Names Are of Persons Long Since Dead, Others ‘Never Heard ot—Arnxs \Vill Be Deposited With Mayor anoste. HAN ANA, \Iay 29. —Theic were 111 applicants veStcrday for sha1es‘ in the $3,000,000 which the United States has offered as a gratuity to theCuban troops. Thirty were given $75_each. The others were not on the rolls, although they had guns, which they were ready to turn in, and certificates of service. The United States military authorities consider that the rolls are very unrelia- bl‘e. 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 n mes of those rightly entitled to share in the gratuit'. The object of this. appa1ently, is to 18- credit the entire proceedings and to show the Cuban public that a large number of the troops 1efused to take American money. - Lieutenant Colonel George M. Randall of the Eighth United States infantry, the ‘commissionei superintending the distri- bution herc, went carefully over the rolls of one battalion with its commandant . He pointed out 24 names of men who are dead and names of othe1s who had not been heard of outside the rolls. Of those paid 25 turned in arms— Mausers, Remingtons and carbines. The other five showed receipts from the al- calde vouching fo1 the dcl11e1'v of their arms. The pa1n1ent will continue until noon today in Havana citv, but Colonel Ran- dall believes it 11111 be necessary to have additional days after aw hile,he1'e and’ ex- 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 those entitled to apply would do so. Most of those who 1'ecei1 ed shares‘y’ésterday asserted that thev onlv heard by accident that the distribution ”has now actually taking place. Colonel Randall will send to Senor Pen 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 ‘0 soldiers will go with the :paymaster. General Carpenter, military govern01 M the department of Puerto Principe, has arrived to attend the meeting of mil- itary governors summoned by Governor General Brooke for Thursday next.
