Hadron-nucleus interactions are considered in the framework of the Glauber model. Inelastic screening is taken into account in a two-channel model. It is shown that the inelastic cross sections are associated with the cutting of different numbers of hadron-nucleon clusters in the elastic scattering amplitude. The relations between the contributions to the absorptive part of the amplitude from different types of cuts satisfy the Abramovskii-Gribov-Kancheli rules up to a factor determined by the ratio of the inelastic hadron-nucleon cross section to the total cross section. The inclusive spectrum is in its central region proportional to A/sup 1/3/. The average charged-particle multiplicity increases with A more slowly than A/sup 1/3/ when energy conservation is taken into account. Good agreement is obtained with the experimental data on the average multiplicity and on the charged-particle distributions from nuclei.
