Cuban Troops Claim Millions in Postwar Pay
General Maximo Gomez states a list of about fifty thousand soldiers and excludes civil employees. He expects the pending loan to cover only about half the claims, with the balance to be paid later via due bills with interest. Privates stand to receive around 900 dollars for two and a half years of service, while high officers may reach up to twenty thousand. The total claims exceed expectations, but readiness appears to ensure justice, though administration doubts full payment. The loan is unlikely to cover more than 60 percent of the total claims.
