NEW PENSION ORDER.
II Is Expected to Expedite Claims
Now Pending.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., December a.
A new order, the enforcement of which,
Il is believed, will expedite the DISPOSE
ton of pension claims now pending, has
been issued by Commissioner Evans. OF
the Pension Bureau. 1t is as follows:
Hereafter, claims for increase of PEN
sion will not be considered within twelve
months from the last action-allowance
or rejection"
1.-THE necessity for the new order" said
an official of the Pension Bureau to-day,
''grows largely out OF the calls made on
the Office for a statement Of the status of
pending cases by members of Congress
These calls have to be answered, to the
exclusion of other claims pending, which
should be taken up In their order. 1t
is only fair TO those cases which have
not had amy consideration that they
should now be taken up as promptly as
possible. The office does not think that
any injustice or hardship will result TO
claimants by refusing to consider their
case. after II has once been acted on, for
a period of twelve months. III a pensoner
Is allowed a new disability. of such a
character as to bring about serious re-
suits. IL Is not likely to develop within
that period, while, II the claim Is re-
tected because of lack OF disability, the
claimant In all probability will not be-
come so disabled within the twelve
months as to make a postponement OF
the case a hardship. The order Is alb
splutely necessary Tor the prompt prose-
cution of the work OF the bureau, and
its enforcement will aid materially In
bringing this about"

note called forth by Mr.. woodford's very
first note after ilib~aridval et maorsn-
In the initial note, the United states
Minister pointed out the interest OF MS
country in an early termination OF the
present struggle IN Cuba, and asked
when such a conclusion could De tx
pected. The Spanish Government IN us
reply, acknowledged our interest IN tne
matter but suggested. after stating wnh'
IL intended to do to ameliorate the condi-
ton OF Cuba. that the United states
could best exercise its good offices py
stopping iilibustering.
To. this Minister Woodford responder
with his note of last week. 1t Is said
to be. a purely argumentative statement
of the position taken by the United
States, and that the facts set forth are
substantially those so strongly drawn IN
the Presidents message to Congress, OF
which IL Is supposed the Spanish pubic
had been fully advised through the news
papers.
The most forcible statement in the note
is based upon the facts contained In the
report published lately by the Treasury
Department, stating the great expenses
to which the United States had been put
by it's efforts to patrol the enormous
coast-iine, in pursuit OF few fliousters'
and the remarkable success OF the gov
eminent officials In stopping these expe-
dtions as contrasted with the feeble Ell
forts Of the Spanish authorities 10 mann
tain a patrol around the island OF Cuba
All of these facts were included In Mr..
Woodford's note, and while he put them
In his own language In presenting them
to the Spanish Foreign Office. II Is said
that the statements concern. only events
that have already been touched upon.

Protection Against Breachy stock

Dwale. Dickinson Co.. Va, Dec. %, 1891
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
While the law-making power is in ses-
sion, Il does seem to me the time Is ripe
for the agitation of the question OF law
that will afford ample protection TO grow
ing crops against breachy stock. III there
is a law upon the statue-bookS or this
State providing for any available protec-
ton to crops, 1 cannot find II, and feel
quite sure there Is no such law applying
TO the western counties.
In this county, as well as those adjoin-
ing, where a greater part of the area is
woodlands, stock is allowed by the own
ers TO run in the woods to take the range.
and. of course, in this way acquires the
habit of going almost anywhere it pleases,
regardless of fences. The owners. as a
rule. do not care where 1t goes so long
as it fares well. The owner of the crop,
when he sees it being destroyed by
Smiths cattle or hogs, strange TO say,
does not appreciate the honor OF keeping
the stock up at such a cost TO himself;
so he goes and politely informs Smith
of the state OF affairs. Smith promises
to see after his stock as soon as he can
get the time; but poor soul, he cannot get
time to do so.
our friend Of the crop finds that a
second or thlrd Dreacn mas Dten Coih-
mitted by Smiths stock; but that gem
tleman, upon receiving information as TO
the state OF affairs" again, seems TO
get riled, and perhaps only mutters out
something about fixing the fence" Then
he of the crop sees where "forbearance
ceases TO be a virtue" and forthwith goes
and makes inquiry of the officers of the
law as TO the protection afforded by that
power. He returns with no satisfaction,
meditating upon the policy OF shotgun
protection, and finally avails himself OF
its benefits. But Nh. Hog must be pro-
tected, and he Of the crop finds a warrant
in the hands of an officer, charging MIN
with unlawfully killing the said Mr. Hog.
Well II the proof is sufficient on trial
which l think It Is invariably is, he OF the
crop is fined from $ 10 $40 for killing a
hog the real value of which was minus
$40 He cannot even get credit upon the
Judgment awarded against him Tor the
value of the corn destroyed by Mr.. Hog,
whose memory is now sacred.
Is II not time for the enactment or
some law tending towards relief? Me-
thinks 1 hear hundreds of "ayes' In re-
sponse. Yours truly,
FRANK NJ. BEVERLY.
