OlilclalM Do Sot Itclievc Sertoli lteult Will I'liNiie, but Ar rangements Are Under Waj to Settle Up. New York, Jan. 1. Former members of the Cuban army are becoming real less, a Havana dispatch to the Trib une asserts; In fact, they are beginning to threaten the government that if not paid by March they will act. The general of - the Insurgent army has handed to the corresiondent a printed manifesto which Is most Incendiary In tone. It Is addressed to the country and to the power. Among other things it suys:- "The obligation of the government to pay the army is a sacred one." The lib- ciating troops have waited patiently, but everything has a limit. The lib erating army will not wait longer tnan March for the completion of the work of the soldiers. We will not be put off by the pretext that revision of army lints necessitates delay nor will we ac cept any other delay. The liberating army is disposed to call the attention of Eurpoe, pacifically but energetically, to the fact that we do not care to cre ate Intci lor disturbance If no longer time is nfked to pay us than March: otherwise the army will reunite and occupy every town from Point Maizl to Cape San Antonio, paeiflically." This circular Is regarded as a direct threat to revolt, ilthouh officials ex press doubts of such a probability. It ia known, however, thut several prom inent generals are behind the move ment. Such measures will hardly be necessary though, as the government will pay the army immediately on ne gotiation of the loan of S35.O0o.0O0. which will be ma le In April. ''Tills proposed exhibition of cruelty If it Is seriously propsed lo bring it off, will be Mopped.. I have communicated with President William Iolos Love of the Connecticut Humane society at Hartford advising that the affair be prevented. If a body of New York wo men would propose such an exhibition, I would warn them that the law would be enforcjd, and if tbey persisted In Holding the mouse killing contest I would arrest on the spot every pro moter and witness of the affair, t- "The Coonwllcut law on the subject is clear and. women who promote such an affair render themselves liable to arrest."
