HAVANA , May 30. Early this morning
Lieutenant Colonel Ocorge M. Randall of
the Eighth United States Infantry , accom
panied by Paymaster Moorcs , his clerks , a
doctor and a military escort , with nearly
$200,000 , left by special train for Santiago
do Laa Vegas , but owing to various delays
the payment did not begin until this after
noon. The alcalde gave the council chamber
for the purpose of distribution a large hall
much better suited than the quarters used
In Havana.
Many of the applicants , of whom there
was a large number , wore without guns.
H was observed that a large proportion
were from Mariano , from which point they
wore prevented from coming yesterday to
Havana. Ono man who had a Mauser rlflo
begged a rldo on the special train carrying
the pay car and was the -first man to be
paid. Not a single officer would come for
ward to Identify nn applicant , a fact caus
ing considerable annoyance and Increasing
the delay.
.Viinirn nil the Mntn.
That the rolls arc padded badly becomes
more and moro evident each day , and Colonel -
nol Randall sayo that from what he can learn
ovcry man , dead or alive , who has ever
served In 'tho ranks of the Insurgents np-
ipears on the lists. Investigation has al
ready shown that several officers gave cer
tificates to men who had no guns. AVhcn
Colonel Randall demanded the presence of
these officers they refused to como forward.
In ono Instance It was discovered that the
name of a captain on the rolls belonged to
n man who to the certain knowledge of one
of the Cuban officers assisting the pay
master , had been dead two years. It Is
generally believed by the officers making
the disbursement that the rolls were padded
In the expectation that the company com
manders would have a personal Interest In
the payment. A man paid today said they
wcro glad the Americans were distributing
the funds themselves , as otherwise ho would
not receive moro than $25.
The number paid .this afternoon was
forty-five , but there wcro several appli
cants with arms entitled to payment who
will receive It after Identification.
Santiago do Las Vegas Itself Is an ex
tremely dirty town , with a population of
7,000. It Is sadly In need of a sanitary In
spector.
El Reconcentrado today attacks the Cuban
soldiers of the Occident or western prov
inces for accepting money from the United
States. It says :
"Their attitude Is Infamous. AVe do not
deslro a classification in the eame cate
gory. Wn prefer to declare ourselves of
the Orientals , men who are men and not
cowards. "

PLATTSMOUTH , Neb. , May 30. ( Spe
cial. ) From present appearances It is quite
evident that the Nebraska Telephone com
pany has at last arrived at the conclusion
that the Plattnmouth city council has some
rights which It Is compelled to respect. At
n recent regular meeting of the city coun
cil the company asked permission to replace
the old poles with now ones on Main street ,
to which the city council unanimously said
"no. " The next day down came the old
poles and new ones went up. At the next
regular session of the council an ordinance
was unanimously passed requiring the- com
pany to remove all Its poles from Main
street , or , as a penalty for not complying
with the ordinance , to pay $1 per month
for each polo left standing. The wires nro
now * oing taken down preparatory to re
moving the poles and the war Is probably
at an end.

SDH III OMAHA NEWS.
The wholesale and retail price of beef is
away up. At the present time a porter
house steak costs 20 cents a pound , wltl
other cuts in proportion. Some retail dear-
era assert that meats have advanced full >
15 per cent within the last month and stll
higher prices are looked for. The wholesale
price on nearly all grades and kinds o
meats has been raised by the packers and
of necessity the retailers have turned the
screws enough to keep themselves in the
clear.
In thla connection the packers assort tha
they are paying more for beef cattle now
than at any time tn several months past
In foot , tattle are seiring now at middl
of the winter prices. In addition to this
there Is a heavy demand from the cast fo
good beef , and this tends to stiffen th
price of llvo stock. Then there is an ex
ceptlonally good foreign demand Just now
which adds strength the market.
The farmer and stock raiser is therefore
getting moro money for his live stock nov
.than at any tlmo since the first part o
February. Another reason given for the
advance In prices is that it is now jus
between the grass and corn'season and gooi
grade stock is hard to get. As a result o
these conditions the packers say that the
must get moro money for dressed beef a
this tlmo than at other seasons of the year
when the conditions are different.
Although pork Is selling cheaper by th <
barrel than on the hoof , it Is said by thos
who presume io know , that packers an
moro anxious to sec hogs decline than tc
see the product advance. They figure tha
the Juno run of hogs is going to bo exccp
tlonnlly largo and they want to fill thel
cellars with cheap product before they te
the price go up.
