The virginius-Present Situation.

From the Washington dispatches
we learn the present situation OF the
Spanish Cuban case is in brief as fol.
lows: The President has made GER
tain demands upon Spain for repara-
ton. That government, though
urged to act promptly, has as yet
neither admitted the justice of these
demands, nor urged the investigation
of them. She has not even indicated
what she will co in case the facts as
claimed by our authorities are estab-
lished and, indeed, none of her dis
patches have been of q satisfactory
character. A few general assurances
held to be almost meaningless, of de.
sire TO accord justice, is all that Spain
has done, except to ask for delay.

Postal Savings Banks.

The Postmaster. General, in his AN
nnual report just completed, reeo-
mends the adoption of the Postal
Banking system. 1t is proposed at
first to introduce the system only in
what are called the Presidential OF
fices-that is, postoffices the salaries
of which are 81. 900 and over. The
entire system will be connected With
the postal money order offices. One
clerk will be detailed to receive an
account for deposits. As each de-
post is made a certification of depos-
itit will be entered in pass book.
The General Office at Washington
will be notified of this deposit, and
of the name of the depositor, after
which q certificate of deposit will be
forwarded from Washington TO the
depositor as a further guarantee.
Deposits may be withdrawn both
from the office whore they were de-.
posted and from any other within
the general district, but no deposit
can be withdrawn until a permit has
been obtained from the General Of
fee at Washington. The authorize
ton of withdrawal has been found
necessary by Great Britain and Can
ada to prevent fraud. One featui g
| of the scheme is the establishment
of several grand divisions, to which
the local offices shall report directly
All moneys received on deposit must
be deposited within q stated time at
the nearest national depository
The Postmaster General is informed
that the plan is very generally APP
proved in the West, and he has re.
Gently received communication from
prominent Eastern banker, advo-
eating the plan as very efficieu
means to strengthen the credit of The
Government, and prevent nationa
panic in time Of crisis. The flow o
currency into the Treasury at such
times, from savings, would enable
the Government TO purchase its own
bonds, and thus relieve Stringenoy
by keeping currency in circulation

solved TO advocate the repeal of the
salary-grab law, socalled. Not but
that the Senator thinks the law just
and advisable, but inasmuch as the

former schedule ofcompensation may
be re-adopted without the least APP

w The luminosity of the Spanish
people towards the United States
was indicated Friday by the assem-
bling of a mob before the American
legation at Madrid. This was a
gross insult to our flag, though the
mob was promptly dispersed by the
authorities. Minister Sickles is in
hourly communication with the State
Department, aud his dispatches an-
nounce very strong feeling IN Spain
against the United States Govern
ment. A number of kilograms from
Minister Sickles were submitted TO q
Cabinet meeting Friday by Secre-
tary Fish. The meeting was very
important one and the situation is
regarded in Washington as looking
every day more serious.

he was startled by violent ring at the
door bell. The servant promptly re-
sponded, but soon returned and reported
that there was no body there, but
that there was a string across the
door on which was suspended any number
of ladies' empty stockings. The astonished
secretary and treasurer looked at the SER
want to discover whether or not she had
lost her senses, and finding no trace of
mind demented, betook himself to the door,
where, sure enough, he found the feminine
hosiery as described. The string on which
the stockings were suspended was taken
into the house, when it was found that at
tached to each stocking was the name of
teacher of the public schools in George
town.
aThe official scratched his head, and
finally came to the conclusion that the
significance Of the whole matter lay in the
fact that, as the teachers had not received
their pay for three months they had not
the wherewithal to fill their stockings for
Christmas. Finally, he obtained hint
from some source that the perpetrators OF
the joke were congregated in an adjoining
house, upon which he sent cordial invi-

pearance. This they did, and were enter
tanned by the secretary and treasurer in
excellent style. He explained to them his

which he had no CONTROL to satisfy their
claims. and hoped that ere long they
would receive the compensation which
they have richly merited by faithful SER
