Warner MfIIer's Desire.
Ex-senator Warner Miller of New York
is in the city urging a definite stand by
the administration on the subject of the
Nicaragua canal. There has been consid-
cradle gossip here about the probability
of the negotiation in the near future of a
new canal treaty with Nicaragua and

huysen-Savilla treaty, which was with

and the President today. The Mica raguan
Canal Company, he says, desires action.
1T Is indifferent, he says, whether the gov
ernment enters upon the canal project
through treaty arrangement which will
make the United States practically the
owner OF the canal, or through legislation
or the line of the Morgan bill 10y which
the government would guarantee the bonds
OF the company and control taree-fourths

1eund that the pressure of other business

s'der the canal question, but hopes for a

A PENSION OFFICE CIRCULAR
Clerks Must Be at Their Desks During the
Working Hours.
Commissioner Evans Makes the Rule
Apply Also to Chiefs and
Assistant Chiefs.

Commissioner of Pensions Evans, in line
with his policy regarding the proper dis
cipline of the large force employed in the
bureau over which he presidts, as lately
stated in The Star, has issued a circular
as follows:
"All employees of the bureau, including
chiefs and assistant chiefs If division will
be required to be at their respective desks
promptly at am, and thereafter during
the working hours of the day. unless other
wise employed on official business, or ex-
cused by proper authority.
Absence for any fractional part of a
day, less than half day, must not be
granted to any employe by chiefs of divi-
sion unless permission Is first obtained
from the chief clerk.
Chiefs of division desiring to be absent
during any fractional part o. a day will
report to the chief clerk before leaving the
building.
Employees entering the building after
am: and 1 pm. will report to the chief
clerk before going to their respective divi-
sions.
I'm all cases where clerks desire to be
excused prior to the lunch hour for the re-
mainder of the day, they will be required
to apply for leave of absence for one day.
If they report for duty at D o'clock and re-
main ON duty until lunch time they may
be absent from l o'clock by being properly
excused by the chief of division and have
the time taken charged against their an
nua! leave; In exceptional cases only will
clerks be permitted to be absent for any
other part of day. and then only by per
mission of the chief clerk"
The commissioners action Is being in
dorsed by large number of people, who
consider that it is to the advantage of the
service, but 1t is far from being popular
among the great body of the clerks Many
OF them feel that their privilege in leaving
the ofhce is being curtaiied To an unneces-
sary degree, but il is the commissioners s

tanned In the above order. which will be

The committee on arrangements to take

anxious that Congress shall appropriate
sufficient money to entertain the members
on scale commensurate with the enter

irg In Vienna At that time the members
were given an extensive trip and received
every opportunity to see all the advantages
Of the country in which they were meeting.
AT that time when the royal character of
their entertainment was being commented
upon 1t was quite common for members to
say: "Oh, wait until we go the United

CeperO and Aguirre Both to he SET a
Liberty.

sAAsA A8 nOtn 10 he Set
Liberty.
The State Department has been inform
ed, through the Spanish minister in Wash
ington, that the Audencia of Santa Clara
has dismissed the case of Jose Cepero, and
that the Audencia of Habana, the case of
George Washington Aguirra, and that both
will be set at liberty as soon as the re-
Quirements of law have been compiled with.
United States Consul General Lee later
notified the department that Aguirre had
been released upon condition of leaving
Cuba not to return. Cepero is a native
OF Cuba, but was naturalized in the United
states in 1881. He was arrested prior
to January 20. 1896. on board the steamer
frcm Cienfuegos for Batabano, the charge
being sedition and rebellion, and he has
since been hello under arrest in Santa
Clara, awaiting the action of the civil
court there. Agulrre is twenty-five years
old, and was born in the United States
He was captured by Spanish gunboat
July 10 last and confined in Cabanas for
tress on a charge of rebellion. Upon the
request of the United States consul gen.
eral mis- case was removed from the mill
tary jurisdiction and taken before the civil
court of Jaruco. Aguirre's case attracted
much attention some time ago, owing TO
its being called up in the United States
Senate as signal instance of improper
treatment Of an American citizen in Cuba,
and there were some sarcastic illusions
to his peculiarly patriotic name in the
course of the debates.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION
Some Definite Action On tlesubiect Expected
Before L@g.
No Difference Of Opinio ion I'm the Ad-
ministration on the Main
Question.

Deliberate but positive iaction is intended
to be taken by this administration in the
Hawaiian matter. President Mckinley has
positive convictions on the subject, and
is in thorough sympathy with the attitude
or the Dole government. Those thor
oughly Informed as to the situation have
no doubt that the annexation Of the islands
will be brought about early in this admin
istration. The situation has been looked
into quite thoroughly, and, while many
things are to be considered, which might
suggest delay unde- ordinary circum-
stances, the present situation prompts
speedy action. There appears to be no
difference of opinion IN the administration
as to the desirability of having these is
lands under the dominion OF the United
States. The only question seems to be as
to the time and manner Of establishing it.
President Mckinley is Understood 10 be lii
favor of speedy annexation Secretary Sher-
man is said to occupy somewhat more
preserving the independent: government of
the islands as long as such a thing is prac-
ticable without danger from foreign infiu-
enceS
The present indications are, however,
that there is positive and immediate danger
of interference by Japan, probably sup
ported by other foreign Influences, an.
that this may force speedy action. 1t is
dSTeeu DeyOHQ dispute tnhL lHe UnltCJ
States will not permit foreign domination
Of the islands. and it is understood tnat
President Mckinley apprehends that If we
wait until such foreign interference is at
tempted it may bring on serious conflict
which it would be wise to avoid by prompt
action at this time.
The most doubtful matter at this time
appears to be as to the manner In which
the islands shall be attached to this coun-
try. The Hawaiians desire, IL they may
to come in as a state of the Union, or at
least as territory with prospective state
hood. This is objected to ON account of
the tremendous influence which would at
tach to two places in the United States
Senate being selected troEh the new do
minion. The proposition being discussed
now, and understood to be looked on with
some favor by Secretary Sherman, is to
annex Hawaii as a county of California.
Some action in the matter Ia expected
within a reasonably short aime, and de-
velopments abroad may hasten the matter
beyond what is at presses cpnte mplated.
