Som assemblymen are planning to pass a resolution -ordering the disbandment of the Cuban army - and accepting th $3,000,000, and .then turn the roils over to Brooke, hoping thereby to kill go- mez's mfluence. At the; assembly's meeting today there yas a hot debate on a resolution that the assembly be dissolved and the army disbanded leaving to the soldiers the right to accept a present from the Americans. The question will be voted on Saturday and will probably pass. The situation here Is not satisfactory, brawls with the police conltinuing. The body of a policeman was found today. He evidently had been murdered last nlight. ' SOLDIERS AIDING PULIGL . Havana, March 21.
