Mutiny Among Spanish Soldiers
la
Puerto Principe. -
Washington, Nov. 13. Adjutant-
General Corbln received a dispatch to
day announcing that the Eighth cavalry
sailed this morning from Savannah for
Puerto Principe, Cuba. The roglmont
will be the American garrison at Puer
to Prlnclpo and Nuovitas.
In this connection an Interesting bit
of information haa reached the war de
partment. Arrangements have beon
made by the Spanish authorities to
send back to Spain tlio Spanish troops,
numbering 0,500 men, upon the arrival
of the American garrison. It waa ex
pected they would anil Wednesday or
Thursday, but an unexpected obatnele
haa arisen among the men thomaelvea,
They are on tbe verge of mutiny, open'
ly declaring they will not roturn to
Spain until they have received tholr
pay, now far In arrears, for service in
Siba. The mutiny extends not only to
e enlisted men but to their officers,
and is directed against the executive
officials of the government on tha
Island. Some of tbe men have not
beou paid for nearly a year, and to all
of them several months of pay is due.
The situation has created no particu
lar concern in the minds of the Amer
ican authorities, aa it la not llkoly
seriously to affect the control of that
portion of tbe island by the American
forces; but It Is realized that these
0,600 soldiers, If they should persist la
tholi rofusal to return to Spain, might
becomo dependents whom It would be
difficult to care for, and ultimately,
perhaps, a menace to good government
In the Island, The Spanish authorities
exprcsa no fear of tholr ability to solve
tbe problem presented, but how they
will solve It if the men, backed by
their officers, absolutely refuso to return
borne without their pay ia not clear.

tions, understood to be of a positive
character, bearing on the Philippine

may be protests which we shall be
compelled to regard.

The fact that the Teresa, a vessel

regarded by naval officers as evidence
