Havana. May 30. There weie 111
applicants today to share tho $3,000,
000 which the United States has offered
as a giatuity to the Cuban troops.
Thirty weie given $75 each. Tho
others were not on the rolls, although
thoy had guns which they were ready
to turn in, and certificates of service.
The United States authorities con
sider that the rolls are very unreliable.
Indeed, the opinion is freely expressed
.hat a large proortion of the names
aie fictitious, and that the tolls omit a
majority of the names of tho rightly
entitled to ha re in the gratuity. The
object of tin apparently is to discredit
the proc o lings, and to show the
Cuban public that a large number of
the troops refused to take American
money.
