MONEY ALL GONE.
Many Pensioners VIII Have to Walt TIN
July Threat Increase OF Allowances.

Many Pensioners VIII Have to Wait TIN
July Threat Increase OF Allowances.
WASHINGTON, June ct is stated at
the Pension Office that the deficiency in
the amount Of funds in the hands of the
different pension agents, which has re-
suited in the announcement by the
agent at indianapolis that a large num-
Der Of pensioners will be compelled to
walt until July for the payment OF
their pensions, has been caused by the
unusually large number of allowances
made by the Pension Office under the
present Administration and particularly
since General Raum's term began.
The great amount of allowances has
been largely in original cases. There
have been issued alread 2, 900 more orig
inal pensions than were issued during
the last fiscal year.
Another drain upon the appropriation,
it is said, was the act of March l, 1890,
which increased to S72 per month all
pensions for total disability requiring
the aid and attendance Of another per-
son. Tho number Of these eases is
large and involves the expenditure of
large amount Of money.
The final payments by the pension
agents will not be completed until about
June 90, and those who have not been
paid by that time will be compelled TO
wait only a few days until the appropri-
alton for the next fiscal year becomes
available July /.
