Cuban Arm Reduction Sparks Debate Over Insurgent Strength
New York April 29 A Havana dispatch says American military planners will prepare two rolls of insurgent fighters. One list covers those under arms on February 15, 1898, and the other those enrolled on April 1, 1898. Authorities aim to determine a fair basis for distributing a 3 million dollar fund and to release small coinage into Cuba. The piece notes Havana police salaries and civil-service pay scales, plus social reforms rumored in La Lucha and the impact of Spanish departures on island governance.
