The French Grievances.
From IAyenir National, French Government
organ.


organ.
Our press teens with accounts of the
atrocities committed upon French citi-
zens in Cuba. Said victims are become
so very numerous Of late that q unani-
nous pressure is being brought to bear
upon the Versailles Cabinet to take
strong measures 10 abate the evil, In con-
cert with the Washington Cabinet. The
American press has recounted not only
the unjustlfable murder of Monsieur
Reigondant, but those of dozen more
French subjects by Valmaseda's regu-
lars, though no mention has been made
of similar outrages committed in Porto
Rico. A letter from ST. Thomas, dated
Oct. 20, TO LIE XIXe Steele, cites the
names of the Frenchmen who have been
imprisoned arbitrarily and executed by
the Spanish authorities. 1t is therefore
evident that neither the lives nor the
property of either Europeans or Ameri-
cans are safe In the Spanish Colonies.
Both England and France are also as
anxious as the United States to bring
such state OF things TO a close through
their combined efforts. 1t is mater
in which every civilized country has a
stake, because such conflicting sitla-
tion affects all alike. The only source
OF comfort Spain is sure to have in the
pressure brought to bear upon her will
be afforded by Germany, which power is
known to be negotiating for the acquisi.
ton of st. Thomas from Denmark, III eX-
change for Schelswig conquered by that
power from the latter II few years since.
This is confirmed by recent revelations
from authoritative high quarters and The
presence of strong naval force kept al
that point by Bismarck for some time
past, evidently studying the coveted
naval station in the West Indies. The
German trigate arrived thither on Nov.
20 to relieve her sister ship, the Angus
ta, ordered home. 1t is -intimated In
some quarters worthy Of crelit that saia
ambitious plans of Bismarck are likely
to create complications, perhaps ull-
looked for, should President Grant in
slitute a vigorous enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine in solving both the
Cuban question and. fotesTalling Ger
many's prospects for the acquisition oil
territory IN the New World.

Fire Commissioners, Retrench-
nleRts

At the regular semi-monthly meeting,
held yesterday evening, Commissioner
Thompson, with Chief Megrue and Sec
retary Reilly, to whom had been referred
the matter of retrenchmert, in so far as
cutting down salaries of the members of
the department was concerned, made a
report, which was unanimously adopted.
The report states that the amount Of
salaries paid during the year 1915
amounted to $163,373 rs. The proposed
salaries for 1876 will amount to SAL 660,
thereby securing reduction of $2l, ,7l5 70.
1t is therefore highly probable that after
the department has been ran for five or
six months under the scale of salaries
adopted, the Commission will be obliged
to discontinue a number of the compa-
MES.
We give below table Of present sal
aries. and the sum to which 1t 10 pro-
posed to reduce them:
