(Special Tel egram.) F. B. Rlttmann, auditor of the Treasury department for the War depart ment, la now engaged In checking up the accounts In his office, comparing them with the figures which appear on the books In the state auditor's office at Des Moines, as given to 8 pedal Agent Blser during his recent visit to Iowa. During the civil war; many states promptly responded to the call to arms and furnished men and munitions of war, and low was notably to the front In this particular. The money necessary to arm and equip the regiments from Iowa was entirely secured by the Issuance of Interest-bearing bonds. The state stead fastly paid the Interest on these state bonds, amounting In the aggregate to 1435,' 915, and It now eseks to recover the prln clpal and Interest. Auditor Rlttmann said today that the gov ernment had uniformly held that It could not pay the Interest chargsd In these cases. The state of New York, which, with patriotic fervor, went Into the open market and raised money to carry out the obligations placed upon It, sought to recover the mount expended, but was overruled by the government and thereupon took an appeal to the supreme court of the United States, which rendered a decision favorable to the atata. The supreme court held that where the state had borrowed the money and paid Ictereat thereon, the United States should pay the principal as well as the Interest Iowa's Boad Baralesi. la the esse of Iowa, when the general government called upon the state to supply Its quota of men and munitions of war, bonds were Issued to carry out the demand, The state now seeks reimbursement, The accounts of the state have been examined and are now being compared with those oa record In the office of Auditor Rlttmann. ' "It will be several weeks before we can be prepared to submit the Iowa case to the secretary of the treasury for trans mission to congress," said Auditor Rltt- mana. "I have a corps of clerks now s work checking up the accounts, but It will be soms time before the task Is com' pleted snd In shape to transmit to the secretary of the treasury. Secretary Sbaw, speaking of the claims that Iowa has on the general government tor the premium It was compelled to pay ee Its bonds Issued for the purpose ef carry Ing oa the war, said todsy that he had re called the esse from the court of claims, whore It hsd been pending. In view of the paragraph which appears tn the urgency deficiency bill In refunding te Mstne, Pens sylvaala.

The house de voted today to private pension bills, pass ing 229 bills and clearing the calendar. This is the largest number of pension bill ever passed by the house at one session. Earlier in the day a resolution waa adopted calling upon the War departmeat for Information concerning the government transport service between San Francisco and the Philippines. Later in the day Mr. Minor of Wisconsin, rising to a question of personal privilege, denounced a published statement regarding the speaker himself as falee. Speaker Henderson alao stated that there was not a shadow of truth In the article. Mr. Parker of New Jersey reported back from the committee on military affair the resolution Introduoed by Mr. Richardson the democratlo leader, a few day ago, call ing upon the secretary of war for the re port of certain army offloera who examined Into the transport service between Baa Francisco and Manila, with the recommen dation that a substitute be adopted, which calls for the facts relative to this trans port service Instead of the report. Richardson Aeoeat Sebstltate. Mr. Parker explained that reports were confidential and contained in many cases freely expressed opinions, which it might be unwise to make public. All eongress desired or waa entitled te, be said, were the facts. Mr. Richardson said that while he would have preferred the reports called for In his original resolution he would be satisfied with the substitute if it elicited the facts, aa hs was assured it would. Hs was the more disposed to accept the substitute, as the senate had already adopted a resolu tion slmost identical with that introduced by him. If congress got ths facts relative to the transport service, he eald, he be lieved the eountry would receive a chapter of very interesting reading. The resolution was sdepted without division. Ths house then went into committee tf the whole ana entered upon conslderatioa of private pension bills. A message from the prssldent wss re ceived returning the bill restoring Edward Klrschoer to the nsvy for technical correc tion. Minor Denies Prese Revert. Mr. Minor of Wisconsin then rose to a question of personal privilege. He sent to the clerk's desk aad had read a Washlagton dispatch In a Cincinnati newspaper to the effect that he (Minor) had chaaged his po sition on ths shipping and oa the Cuba tariff question because of the speaker' in tentlon to advance a local revenue cotter meaeure la which ths Wisconsin member Is interested. Mr. Minor followed the reading with de nouncing the article aa false. Never by act, word, deed or intimation, be said, had ths spesker attempted to change Mr. Min or's position relative to the Cuban ques tion. As te the shipping bill, he said, the speaker waa not aware of his position, Speaker Headersoa added that so tar a the article referred te htm, the evermeats made by Mr. Minor were absolutely untrue.

BURLINGTON, VC. March 15. In a let ter to the Free Prese, Senator Redfteld Proctor denounce aa a fraud a letter re cently published and attributed to him fa voring the annexation of Cuba a the solu tion of the Cuban problem. The senator declare that be wrote no euch letter and that It wholly misrepresents his position. He say: On my return from Cuba four years ago this was all I eald about annexation; 'I am not In favor of annexation, not that 1 would apprehend any particular trouble from K, but because It Is not wise policy to take In any people of foreign tongue and without any strong American elements.' "If the objection stated la that sentence were removed," continue tn senator, there are other reasons why we now can not properly advocate annexation. We have premised Cuba Independence. Her govern ment la soon to be Inaugurated. We must keep our promise strictly and give her a fair opportunity for aelf-goverament. So long aa she compiles with the requirement ot the Piatt amendment w have no right to irterfere In Its affairs. If she succeeds in establishing a stable and well conducted government and her people are satisfied 1th It we have no occasion to interfere. If at any time In the future they think It desirable to become a part ot this country tbey will say so and then it Is for u to decide whether we wish to rscslve them Into the union or not. It Is plainly for them to say first that they wish to come. Until they express such a wish it does not come with good race from us, snd It Is not fslr, in view ot our promise to them, to talk about aa nexatlon. It la neither good morels, good manners or good policy. We muet first give them the fair chance for self-government we have guaranteed, and to bring any pres sure to bear upon them or to advocate an nexatlon until they ask for It Is, to ssy the least, prsmature aad tends to defeat its purpose."
