The PensfOning of Clerks.
r of The Evening Star:


1t has been proposed to withhold GER
tain percentage of the salaries of govern
ment clerks for the purpose of establish
ing a pension fund for superannuated
clerks. The object is a worthy one but
if the clerks are to be consulted. the
younger ones. at least, will not consent to
having their small salaries reduced i'm that
way. The pay is already too small to re-
tain PEI manently in the service the bright
est and nest ambitious young men. If the
clerks ere to pay their own pensions out
of their salaries let each clerk save as
much or little as he pleases for him.
self alone. Do not treat them as children
in need of guardians If clerks are not
able to look after their own private affairs,
they are not competent to attend 10 the
business of the government. If CLERKS go
ing out Of the service are allowed to draw
out what hac been deducted from their
salaries the fund established would not be
sufficient.
United States judges are retired on full
pay, which they continue to draw as long
as they live. and they draw it from the
public treasury. not from their own contri-
buttons. Ii his honor should lay aside
part of his fine salary for a superannu-
alton fund, 1t would not deprive him of the
luxuries of life, while many ordinary COM
forts would be missing in the family of the
poor clerk whose modest stipend is reduced
for any cause.
Army officers are retired on three-fourths
pay, which is not deducted from the COM
pensation of those on the active list They
may, under the law, be retired on account
of disability in no way incident TO the mill
tary service. In such case they are no
more entitled to retired pay than persons
in the civil service.
The government clerk, disabled by con-
finement in poorly lighted and badly ven-
tilated work roO pms gets a curt dismissal
with not SO much as a thank you" for
wearing out his life in the line of duty
If We are to arrive at that happy state
when every man pays his own pension, il
can be Zone without government interfer-
ence by joining some voluntary organiza-
ton that pays sick benefits. If the ex-
travagant special pensions and retired nav
allowed by Congress to other classes OF
public servants were reduced there might
be enough money saved to provide a hare
subsistence for superannuated employees of
the departments.

when the prisoners were ushered into court.
Sergt. White of the Bechuanaland mount
ed police testified to having refused to join
DR.. Jameson's expedition, and added that
Col. Grey questioned troopers prior to
starting and informed them they were not
going to fight for the queen, but for the
supremacy of the British flag in South
Africa.
The sergeant also testified that Commits
sioner Newton dispa tched him from MAIZE
king, on December 30, in pursuit of DR..
Jameson's column, telling him to catch the
latter at any cost. When the witness
caught up with the column he handed his

in turn, told Sergt. White to give them TO
DR.. Jameson. but later, however. sent him
back to Sir John Willoughby, who finally

THE WISE HUSBAND
MAN sows his seed in soil
which is sure to yield a rich har-
vest of good grain, not among
rocks and stones, where only
tares and thistles grow. So the
prudent business man, desiring
profitable trade, should put his
announcements in a paper that
goes into the, family circle; that
is regularly read BY all the men,
bers of the household; that is
taken and paid for, because it
prints the most and the latest
: news; that is always honest, fair,
clean and decent, and that has
earned and enjoys the respect
and confidence of the whole
community, by always standing
up for the interests of Washing
ton and the District of Column
bia. The paper that fills this bill
is THE EVENING STAR.

AcK FROM CUBA
William T. kanntx, The Stars Cuba Core
spondsnt in the City.
The Situation I'm the Island Paralyxes
the Spaniards and Promises
Well for Cuba Librc.

William F. Mannix, with whose name and
correspondence from Havana readers Of
The Star are familiar, arrived in Washing
ton today. Mr.. Mannix, after he was Or
dered to depart from Cuba because of
charges made against him by Minister Du-
puy de LONE, went to Key West, where,
except for excursions, he has remained
since, watching the operations incidental
to the equipment and supply Of the fnsur-
gent troops.
1.-THE situation cannot be understood In
this country" said Mr. Mannix to q Star
reporter, merely from newspaper cor
respondence. The Spaniards are paralyzed
They cannot cope with the rebels, not
withstanding their outnumbering forces
Seven times Campos cut athwart the Island
with his troches, or trenches, striving to
drive the rebels back foot by foot until
he should push them into the sea, and his
enemy crossed and recrossed his lines
where he pleased and beyond all effort to
control him.
Three times Weyler has established lines
across the island in the same delusiye hope
only to be continually defeated. The Span
iards have lost all confidence in Weyler.
OF his name for atrocities there is only this
to be said, that his career has not beiied
the fame he is given. There is no denying
the outrages done by the Spanish troops.
Maceo, by his sharp discipline, has, on the
contrary, been able to restrain his men.
The result is the people do not fear them.
We men alone in their homes are not fright
ened by their approach, and the insurgent
troops do not molest them.
1T Is hard to say when a decisive stroke
will come. The Spaniards are pursuing a
waiting policy in hope that something will
turn up to help them. It is likely to be a
lcng-drawn-out struggle. But the rebels
have splendid courage and they are we'll
supported. Several recent expeditions to
the island landed successfully The Gordon
of gunboats amounts to but little. The
Spanish navy is as poor as the army.
Il was in Havana harbor Wednesday on
the way from Key West to Tampa. The
chief Of police coming aboard was very
much surprised to see me there, and de-
manded my passports, which, Of course
he did not find in the batch. He wanted to
know what l was doing there, and acted
ugly until 1 told him did not care to land
He looked at NE wistfully. as If ne would
like to get me ashore, but was satisfied

HAVANA. March 9O.<Ehe 1nsurgenf
leader. Enrique Aleman. g brother Of the
celebrated insurgent leader Of the same
name, was shot this morning In the
fortress of Cabanas.
Ramon Serpa, the inSurgent leader, has
been killed in an engagement. with the
troops near Santi Spfritus. province of San
ia Clara.
The insurgents have made another at
tempt to pass through the military line
drawn across the province of Pinar Del
Rio. This time they tried to get to the
sc uthern part, but werB repulsed.
NEW YORK, March 3O.-A representa-
tive Of the Associated Press took the news
of the execution Of >Aleman to the Cuban
headquarters here this morning: The
greatest gloom Immediately spread over
the assemblage there and Senior Joquin
Castillo. who acted as spokesman. said:
1T is just as we expected. Poor En-
rique Aleman! Poor Cuba! Another patriot
gone. but the cause Is safe and we will
win eventually.
General Weyler has adopted the same
tactics that prevailed Turing the ten years
war, when Cuban patriots, after being
made prisoners, were considered bandits
and incendiaries. which charge meant
death the moment they were brought be-
fore drum-head court-martial.
Enrique Aleman, who is a brother OF
Cristobel Aleman, a colonel of the insur-
gent army, in the province Of Santa Clara,
belongs to one of the bcst-known families
In Matanzas. He was captured by the
Spanish troops about three or four weeks
ago in battle near Matanzas. From there
he was transferred to Havana, and Jailed in
Fortress Cabanas.
He was tried by military committee,
which is better known by the name of
court-martial, and sentenced to be shot.
Enrique was a thorough soldier and | am
confident met his fate nobly as a soldier
and a patriot.

1nsurGent Nicaraguans Demanded
Zelaya's Retirement.


Zelnya's Retirement.
Copyright, 1895, by the Associated Press)
MANAGUA. Nicaragua, March 3O.-via
Galveston. Textile peace commission,
consisting of DR.. Prudente Alfaro, vice
president of Salvador: Gen. Comans of
Salvador and Senior Ramiers. the Nicar-
aguan minister for foreign affairs, has re-
turned here from La Paz, where the con-
ference with the representatives of the in
surgent Leonists has been held.
The terms offered by President Zelaya
are understood to have been the absolute
surrender of all arms, the payment Of all
war expenses. and the surrender for trial
by court-martial of the leaders of the in
surrection.
The insurgents not only refused to ac-
cept these terms, but they demanded that
President Zelaya turn over to them the
government Of Nicaragua Consequently
all hope of peace Is gone, and the war will
be continued with renewed bitterness On
both sides.
There is great excitement here and steps
are being taken to reinforce the troops
at the front and begin the advance on
Leon 50 soon as the much-needed supplies
Of ammunition reach the government
forces.
There are disturbing rumors in the air.
The government is said to be hard pressed
for funds as well as for ammunition, which
facts are not unknown to the Leonists, who
are understood to be receiving secret sup
port from Guatemala and from other
sources. which may result in complica-
items likely to cause a general war
throughout Central America.
1t is suggested. In certain circles here
that this is a good opportunity for inter-
vention upon the part of the United States
with the view of bringing about a peace
ful settlement of the questions in dispute,
as conflict involving all the Central
American republics would put serious
check upon business and development Of
the natural resources of Central America.
