Senator M. Le Hayward has received
a lengthy communication from Com
missioner H. Clay Evans of the pen
sion bureau at Washington concern
lg tha work of the pension depart
ment, the people employed there and
the manner in which the pension
claims are handled. The commission
er explains in detail the work of the
department and gives much informa
tion of value to Grand Army men. Tht
Nebraska department of the Grand
Army of the Republic will have the
letter published In the official or tan
and distributed among all the old sol
diers in the state. Commissioner
Evans tells first of the people em
ployed In the bureau.
There are 1,741 employes in the de
partment of which 566 are ex-union
soldiers, and of this number 452 are
drawing pensions in addition to the
salaries. The board of review as
now organized is comprised of one
chief, two assistant chiefs, five ch‘efs
of sections and 110 reviewers, ine
chief of the board is Colonel F. D.
Stephenson, who served during the
entire war of the rebellion as captain
In the Forty-eighth Illinois and lr.ter
aa colonel in the One Hundred and
Fifty-second Illinois infantry- He vas
severely wounded and is a pensioner
for that reason. Of the 110 reviewers
seventy are ex-unlon soldiers. A
large proportion of the men employed
on the board of review have been con
nected with the pension department
In different capacities for from twenty
to thirty-five years.
The medical division, whose work
is to settle all medical questions, es
pecially rates of pension, consists of
a medical referee, an assistant medi
cal referee, two qualified surgeons,
two principal examiners and forty
three medical examiners. The b_,ard
or review In connection with the med
loal division is charged with the ad
judication aDd settlement of all claims
and their action is generally final
on all questions involved. The com
missioner does not see one In a hun
dred of the claims that receive the at
tention of the legal and medical
boards.
During the first nine months of the
present fiscal year 61,000 pension cer
tifleates have been issued, divided as
follows: Original under the general
law, 4,594; original under the act of
1890, 22,227; Increase and reissue, 9,
747; restoration and renewal, 1,157;
under the act of 1890, increase and
reissue, 10,685; restoration and re
newal, 1,656; accrued pensions, 8,661;
duplicates, 2,902.
All of the employes of the pension
department are under the protection
of the civil service law' A majority
of them are known to be republicans.
There are about 324 employes who are
known to be democrats.
Commissioner Evans adds the fol
lowing additional information hear
ing upon the subject of Senator Hay
ward’s letter of inquiry.
You are no doubt aware of the fact
that order No. 164, which was promul
gated October 15, 1890, was substanti
ally revoked by Assistant Secretary
Bussey on January 7, 1893, in very
positive terms. Under this order ail
disabilities under the act of 1890 were
rated the same as those of service ori
gin. Your attention is also invited to
the act of 1890 with reference to claims
of widows, which grants pensions only
to those 'who are without other means
of support than their manual labor.’
In cases of invalid claimants it is held
by the department that disabilities
under the act of 1890 are placed by
that act upon a different basis for rat
ing than those under the general 'aw.
Under the general law disabili ies
are pensionable without regard to
capacity to ourn support and are
graded without reference to this con
dition, while disabilities under the
act of 1890 are only pensionable when
Incapacity to labor joins with inca
pacity to earn a support, and the
grades of rating are dependent noon
these two conditions. The bureau has
been extensively criticised for ad
hering to this rule, hut as my func
tions are confined strictly to the xe
cutlon of the law as I find it 1 am
powerless to grant relief in c'ses that
do not come within the rule.
"It Is very evident that upon a
careful examination of the act of
June 37, 1890. that it creates condi
tions which are not applicable to
claims under the general law and that
very much of the misapprehension
and dissatisfaction with the opera
tlons of this bureau arise from a want
of understanding as to those condi
tions
"Thus, a soldier is entitled Older
the general law to It? per month for
the lists of an eye. but under the a t
of June 37, I *!»o, he receive* only |>t

l the general law at a high rate f. r a
degree at deafness which dues not sn
lltle la a re'tag under the a** >a«
J it necessarily results in criticism of
\ the commissioner. And when a widow
I who is in affluent circumstances H
granted a pension under the general
law, while a claimant not nearly so
well off is denied a pension under the
new law, because she is not without
other means of support than her daily
labor, it seems to the public to be an
unjust discrimination on the part of
this bureau. Yet the law creates the«e
conditions and It is not within our
power to do otherwise than exe-ute
the law as construed by the depart
ment. but in nearly ail these cases
the pension office gets the blame
when it atempts to carry out the law
as it exists.
"The disability which entitles to
the maximum pension ($12 per month)
under the new law is substantially
the same as would entitle to a pension
of $30 per month under the old law.
Yet w’e And that under the old law
only 51,691 soldiers are pensioned at
$30 per month, while under the new
law 163.367 are drawing the maximum
rate of $12 per month. Under the
old law only 47,657 soldiers receive
$12 per month. As an index to the
growth of the work of the bureau it
may be stated that during the fiscal
year 1896 there were 2,162,581 pieces
of mall received and sent. For the year
1897 there were 5.056,789 and for the
year 1898 there were 6,566,967, being
more than 300 per cent over the year
1896.
"During President Grant's first term
from 1869 to 1872, there were allowed
in all 71,462 claims, and during his
second term there were allowed 47,
359 claims, and during President
Hayes' term, from 1877 to 1880, 39,
945 claims were allowed. During the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, 52.
684 original claims were allowed. It
will be seen that the number of al
lowances for the year 1898 was great
er than the number of allowances for
the entire four years of President
Grant’s second term and the entire
administration of President Hayes*
"The commissioner, both deputy
commissioners, the medical referee,
chief of the board of review and nine
of the chiefs of division and mos'„ of
the other clerks who fill the important
places in the bureau are all ex-un
Ion soldiers, and as you well know
the entire organization of the bur?au
is controlled by men who served the
"soldiers bureau’ and In all masters
pertaining to the organization of the
different divisions, in appointments
and promotions, the ex-union so'dier
always has the preference. The dif
ferent commanders of the department
of the Grand Army of the Republic
have all commended the pension bu
reau for its faithful observance of the
statute which gives preference to the
soldiers of the rebellion."
In another letter received by Sen
ator Hayward the commissioner of
pensions has the following to say con
cerning the fee charged by attorneys
for securing pensions.
"Under what is known as the gen
eral law the attorney gets a fee of *25.
Under the act of 1890 his fee is only
$10. It has got to be quite a custom
with attorneys to file a claim under
the act of 1890, get the pension allow
ed under that law and then fil<» a
claim under the general laws, so they
will get two fees. 1 had a case, for
instance, the other day reinstating a
man who enlisted in the war with
Spain. He was drawing a pension
under the act of 1890 at $10—he had
formerly draw-n a pension for slight
disability under the general law at $0
—be fell Into the hands of an attorney
and made application for reinstate
ment under the general law and tneu
filed a claim for disability Incurred in
the war with Spain, which w-as the
same as he was pensioned for under
the act of 1890. This would have giv
en the attorney two fees, but it would
not have given the man the $10 pen
sion that he was drawing when he
enlisted.”

MANILA, May 29.—Special to the
| New York World: General Otis says,
i contradicting the g« neral impression,
that the campaign against the Fill
plno insurgents will be prosecucod by
the American forces with the utraoit
aggressiveness possible during the
rainy season.
General Ihiwton is convinced that an
early settlement of the troubles and
close of hostilities depends on the
Americans giving thorough protection
to the working classes in their p°ace
ful occupations, while waging inces
sant war against the armed forces of
the enemy from this time forth, by
means of guerrilla warfare. “We will
show the insurgents by vigorous ac
tion on the rivers, lakes and moun
tains," he says, "that their belief that
we cannot campaign in the rainy sea
son or in the mountains is un*rue.
Later it is possible that the changing
conditions may demand garrisoning
by districts so that it will be safe fo.
the investment of capital and the pros
ecution of industries until American!
are completely dominant.”
Quick transportation of the cavalry
and the pack mules is desirable as a
means of rounding up the insurgents.
The cable ship Recorder, while pick
ing up the cable between the islands
of Negros and Cebut, went to the town
of Escalante on the former island.
She landed a party in her launch, con
sisting of the commander, second of
ficer and several of the crew, and also
Captain Tilly of the signal corps, who
was present aboard the ship to observo
the cable operations.
A flag of truce had been hoisted
by the rebels, who waited until ♦he
party had landed, and then treacher
ously poured a murderous volley upon
them.
Captain Tilly and one of the men at
once threw themselves into the water.
The commander of the Recorder, run
ning a great risk, managed to reacn
the launch and put off from the buna
to save it from being captured by the
rebels
Meanwhile a rain of bullets was fait
ing all around the fugitives. The sec
ond mate was picked up by the launch
Just as he was sinking, but was alive.
He said that the last he saw of Captain
Tilly the later was swimming fee,bly
by his side.
The steamer was far out from shore,
but those on board could see that the
other Malay seamen were caught by
the rebels and flogged and then cut to
pieces.
The ship returned to Iloilo, stopped,
and within an hour troops were dis
patched to the scene of the attacit.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Manila says: The approach of the
wet season finds the insurrection tak
ing a new lease of life.
All along the American lines the
rebels are showing more aggressive ac
tivity in their guerrilla style than at
any time before since the fall of Ma
lolos.
They keep the United States troops
in the trenches, sleeping in their
clothing and constantly on the alert
against dashes on our outposts, and
they make life warm for the American
garrisons in the towns.
the bands of General Luna and Gen
eral Mascardo, which retreated toward
Tarlac when they feared they would
be caught between General MacArthur
and General Lawton, have returned In
force to their old trenches around San
Fernando, where there are dally col
lisions.
Opposite our lines on the south, pro
tecting Manila, all the way around to
San Pedro Macati, the Filipinos aave
three rows of trenches most of tl )
distance.
Reports from prisoners indicate that
the insurgents construe the peace ne
gotiations to mean that the Americans
have had enough of fighting

ACCIDENT ON THE RAIL
DWhg! rftim KfMUltN of a Washout on an
Iona Kallroml.
CEDAR RAPIDS, la., Mav 29.—The
worst wreck In the history of the
Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern
railway occurred at 1.23 yesterday
morning, when train No. 5, the Chica
go and Minneapolis train, ran into a
washout two miles north of Wash
burn. The entire train was wrecked,
nine people were killed, seven of them
almost Instantly, and about twenty
injured, twelve of them badly.
The greatest casualties occurred in
the first sleeper. The third coach tel
escoped this car, the floor of the coach
passing through the sleeper Just about
on a level with the lower berths in the
sleeper when they were made up.
The passengers in the sleeper were
nearly all caught and crushed to death
almost instantly. One man was killed
so quickly that he died with a smile
on his lips. It was necessary to chop
nearly all out of this car.
The most terrible incident of the
wreck was the manner in which Will
iam Scholian of Waterloo suffered. He
was caught In the sleeper and pinned
down so that escape was impossible,
one arm being pinioned so solidly that
it was impossible to release him. The
passengers worked with all their
might to release him, but without
avail.
In the meantime the water was ris
ing up around him, and in a short
time the unfortunate man must drown
like a rat in a cage. He begged those
about him to cut his arm off. There
was not a physician on the train, and
all hesitated to do anything. Finally
an old saw was secured and his arm
was sawed off.
It was a horrible and sickening
sight, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that the operation was per
formed. Scholian never utterd a
word, but the strain was too great, and
be died shortly after being taken to
his home In Waterloo.
The track has been repaired and
trains are once more run over it.
The Northwestern has all its trains
tied up in this city. There is a bad
washout between Watkins and Blairs
town, and it is impossible to run
trains over it. The Milwaukee agreed
to take the trains around by the way
of Marion over the main line to Tama,
but its track is in bad shape near Vin
ing and the road was compelled to
rescind the order.
The list of dead is as follows: E.
L. Arnold, lumberman, Minneapolis,
Minn.; W. A. McLaughlin, Muskegon,
Mich.; R. H. Schwette, Alton, 111.;
David Hallo, Minneapolis; F. S. Car

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 29.—The
war department today made public the
following dispatch from General Otis
commanding at Manila :
MANILA. May 28.—Two battaliona
of the Twenty-third infantry are in
the quiet possession of Jolo. The
Spanish troops have withdrawn from
Zamboanga after a battle with the in
surgents, with severe loss to the 'al
ter. The Spanish loss is nine killed
and twenty-seven wounded, among
whom was Commanding General Mon
tero, who died from his wounds and
was buried here yesterday. The in
surgents used the rifles, artillery and
ammunition captured from the gun
boats, expending the major part of the
ammunition. A conference followed
between General Rios, who went from
Manila to withdraw the troops, and
insurgents. The latter stated to him
that he w-otild not oppose the landing
of Americans, but would accept the
conditions in Luzon- The Spanish
troops withdrawn are now here and
will depart for Spain tomorrow.
A feeble attack by the insurgents on
the inhabitants of the southeast por
tion of Negros necessitated the sending
of a battalion of troops from Manila
there. They will soon restore order.
Insurgent falsehoods circulated in the
southern islands of overwhelming in
surgent victories in Luzon keep up an
excitement In that section among the
more Ignorant classes, although the in
telligent people know' that American
arms have never n.et a reverse and I
they call for I'nlted States protection.

“Buffalo,” said a mau from that city
| recently, “Is going to have the finest
J railway station in the United States,
and probably the most magnificent in
the world. Architecturally, It will bo
a delight and an ornament to the town,
its great tower of the cathedral style
rising to the altitudeof 300 feet. It in
to cost $8,000,000, but it will exceed in
size and beauty the Union depot at St.
I^ouis, on which was expended $8,500,
000, and It will make Chicago's $2,
000,000 station look cheap."
The mosquito Isn’t the only bore
that sings at his work.
44 In Union
There is Strength.”
True strength consists in the union, the
harmonious ivorking together, of every
part of the human organism. This strength
can never be obtained if the blood is im
pure. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the standard
prescription for purifying the blood.
The man who makes proverbs the
sole rule of his life never has to take
anti-fat.
