The Commissioners yesterday rejected
the application OF Mrs. Ida j. Mastin, a
fireman's widow, for an increase Of her
pension TO $4Upeffnonth upon the grounds
that the amount already paid to her is
quite as liberal as the circumstances war
rant. $50"
MRS. Mastin is the widow Of Samuel
Mastin, late assistant foreman OF No. l
engine company, who lost his life in the
Knox fire, July 20, 1894. She states
in her letter of request that her sole income
consists Of $40 per month pension and 81 80
per month from the rent of a small house
which she purchased with the money
donated to her by a-kind public"
When the request reached the Commits
sioners it was referred to Chief Paris
of the fire department, whose report is
adverse to the claim.
RECEIVED HER SHARE.
He says he regards the provision made
for Mrs. MastiD as more liberal than is
made for the widows of many others
who have died while in service, and re-
cites that She received oDe-third of a 1uEd
of $4.Ol9.43 which the people subscribed
subsequent to the death of her usband and
the two others, O'Donoghue and Fenton.
- He notes also that she was about the
same time paid $40 from the Fire De-
partment Relief Association, $75 to pay
the funeral expenses and $50 from other
sources toward the purchase OF headstone,
besides several small amounts by way of
relief since.
The chief says that he has been in
formed that Mrs. Mastin owns two houses
in this city, purchased with the money
given her by the public. and that she oc-
cupies one and rents the other.
o. CHILDREN IN AN ASYLUM.
He adds that Mrs. Mastin placed her
children in an orphan asylum soon after
her hu stands death, and upon these
grounds and for the additional reason that
ensions are intended really to assist the
Industrious to gain a livelihood he is op-
posed to granting the increase asked for

however, the duchess died, in 1898, it was

Du Pout to Renew His Fight.

WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. 16.-The near
approach of the opening of the second ses-
sion of the Fifty-fourth congress has given
rise to the report here that Colonel A. Du
Pont will renew his contest for seat in
the senate as representative Of Delaware.
The announcement of this contemplated
renewal of the Du Pont case has impaired
new and interesting phase to the contest
for the senatorship from Delaware. The
Democrats are now in the throes of CON
test as to who will be the choice for sena-
tor of the Democratic Legislature on Jan,
10. ]. Edward Addicks is now fighting
in the courts for rs seats in the legislature
on the ground of fraud in Kent and Sussex
counties, He expects a decision on Thurs
day, and if it is against him he will make
a contest at Washington.

excited condition of affairs at Madrid moth
ing need create the slightest surprise. 1t
Is remembered that General Campos was
recalled from Havana because he did not
end the revolution with 100, 600 troops
and that Weyler was sent to succeed him.
| There is no reason therefore why Senor de
LONE, who is every bit as competent as
General Campos, although in a different
sphere should not be made n sCapcgOat to
deceive the excited and enragcd Spaniards
General Weyler now has 200, 600 troops
in Cuba and he has made no more head
way than Campos. A successor to De
LONE will be able to do less than he
There is not the least doubt that repre-
sentations have been made to President
Cleveland which promise the capture of
Maceo and the destruction of his little
army before the Christmas holidays. This
pledge of course, includes Gomez defeat
but no one familiar with Cuban topogra-
ply and the resources of the insurgents
has any expectation of a Spanish victory
Advices from trustworthy sources say
that Weyler has been pushed to the front
by ominous threats from his home govern
ment that unless he accomplished some
| thing by the time the American congress
assembled he would be removed. Such
performance may stay the recognition of
Cuban bclligercncy for awhile, but it also
will develop just what Wcylcr cannot do
1t seems incomprehensible to the Spanish
minds that their troops in overwhelming
| numbers, equipped with the best of arms
and supplied with field telegraph and n
well stocked commissary, cannot corner IA
poorly supplied lot of patriots, exhausted
by continuous marching and fighting.
The last heard from Maceo represented
him confident of being able to Outmaneuver
the Spanish forces and ready, through the
improved condition of his men, who have
| ammunition in plenty, to give the enemy
| battle. He promises before another rainy
season comes around to drive Weyler out
Of Pinar del Rio back into Havana and to
| demonstrate to the civilized world that
| the Cuban cause is invinCiblc.
1t is understood that Maceo and Gomez
are trying to effect junction in the dis
| tricts of Remedies, which means that
Maceo must surprise the trocha and cut
his way through. Whatever happens must
| be to the advantage of the insurgents, as
they have lively comprehension of the
necessity of continuing their peculiar style
| of warfare until the next administration
| in Washington. They believe also that if
| they can achieve some signal success by
attacking the Spanish soldiers, the con
grcss which is to meet in Washington on
Dec. T may compel the present admins
tration to act.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Whcn so well in
formed Il man as f. G.. Picrra, cX-sccrctary
Of the Pan American congress and mem
Der of the Cuban junta, says that Spain
will as n last resort, go to war with the
United States there is reason in the gov
ernment's present preparation for that
emergency.
Being asked to give his views on the
state of affairs in Cuba and the probable
outcome of General Weyler's assumption
of the personal command of Spanish forces
in the field in Pinar del Rio, Mr. Pierra
said substantially:
Not since hostilitcs began has the Gu
ban army under Maceo been 50 well equip
ped, so well disciplined or so well provi-
stoned as at this time. Macco has ample
ammunition for the present and has been
so long in possession of the strongholds
west of the Trocha Maricl-thc western
most trocha ON the island-that he has
completed system of defenses which are
impregnable to Wcylcr.
Large quantities of dynamite have been
safely delivered to Alaceo, and should the
Spaniards succeed in crossing one of Ma
COOS subterra Instructions they would
have gained practically nothing by the
loss of men which would inevitably fol-
low mere are many OF these Subterra
obstructions, and no force which General
Wcyler can command will succeed in cross
ing all of them, and unless all be crossed
nothing of vital injury to the patriot army
will have been done.
do you believe, Mr.. Picrra, that Spain
would have the tcmerity to make war on
the United States"
Whenever Spain has been unable to
hold one Of her colonies after rebellion
she has preserved her honor as they say,
by bringing ON quarrel with some other
power, and that will be her course when
she finds it impossible to continue the war

The Northern boundary Line,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s%It is quite prob
able that provision will be made in the
coming session of congress for boundary
commission to determine the divisional
line between Minnesota and Manitoba.
Representative Hcatwole reported from
the foreign affairs committee in the last
house a resolution providing for such II
commission. The dispute is over IA tract
known as Hunters island and hinges on
whether the main channel of the Rainy
Lake river runs north or south of the is.
land. 1t has been suggested that the Alas
kan boundary dispute may be coupled
with that of Minnesota and an amendment
offered to the Heatwole resolution provid-
ing that the same commission shall deter
mine the Alaskan boundary. Objection
is made to this by the Minnesota men, who
say that it will be difficult to determine
the ownership Of Hunters island, while
the dispute of Alaska might engage the
commission IA long time, to the delay of the
other question.
