CUBANS NOW FILING CLAIMS More Tlinn m Humlrad Apply for Tbolr HliH.ro of Undo Hum's Money mid Thirty Arc Piild. Havana, May 20. There were 111 ap plicants yesterday for shares in tho $:J, 000,000 which tho United States has offered as a gratuity to Cuban troops. Thirty were given 875 each. Tho oth ers weronoton the rolls, although they had guns which they were ready to turn In and certificates of service. Tho United States military authori ties consider that tho rolls arc very unreliable. Indeed, tho opinion is freely expressed that a largo propor tion of the names are fictitious and that tho rolls omit a majority of tho names of those rightly entitled to share In the gratuity. The object of this, apparently, Is to discredit the entire proceedings and to show tho Cuban public that a large number of tho troops refused to take American money. Of those paid 25 turned in arms Mausers, Remingtons and car bines. Tho other five showed receipts from the alcalde vouching for tho de livery of their arms. Col. Randall says it will bo necessary to havo additional days after awhile hcio and extra pay rolls for men whojhave undoubtedly seen service.

"Was was tlio oysters good? ho asked, and he did not grin. "Fairly good," she made answer, calmly; "hut I wasn't really hungry, after all." Washington Post. I'atlencc and Practice.
