(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. March 15. (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. New Hampshire and Rhode Island
the expsneee Incurred In raising volunteers,
He said that Just as soon as ths auditor
for the War department would certify the
amount due te Iowa te him he would as

WASHINGTON, March IB. 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.
WASHINGTON. March 10,-The Presi

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."
