PENSION CASES DECIDED

Assistant Secretary of the Interior Web.
ster Davis today handed down large num-
Der of decisions i'll some of which the AZ

and in some reversed
Two cases which have bene pen.ling for
a number of years were acted upon and re-
ject.d. Had they been allowed the sum OF
back pension MONEY involved it would have
amounted to more than 100000.
One Of tie cases was that OF Charles C.
New York Infantry, who enlisted May 8,
1861, and was mustered out November 20,
1861. His Claim was for locomotor ataxia.
which he alleged rendered him totally
have contracted in line Of service. AS
sistant Secretary Davis says there Is no
record OF medical treatment while in the
service, and io evidence whatever that
he suffered from the alleged trouble while
in the service, and even il there was, it
could not he regarded as loconsptor ataxA
in its iiIst stage, for, as Medical Referee
says, the ca rlier pains of iocOmotor ataxia
which may De taken for rheumatism, are
referred to the portions of the body below
the seat of the disease in the spinal cord,
that is. to the lower eXtrefaities.
Moreover, it Is not shown that claimant
was subjected 10 any great exposure OF
exertpn during his sery ice. The claimant
himself says: Il recall no un usual expos Ira.
i wasnot in juredin any wa in the service"
He does not claim lo have done any hard
marching: hence, after full considera ton
of the ev hIence i'll the case, and the brief
and argument in support of the claim. I
am of tie opinion that no valid or satts-
factory reason was shown for holding that
locomotor ataxIa is due to claimants ser.

The other case is that of the claim Of

by reason of gunshot wound of skull, and
resulting in paralysis. He filed claim
for increase to first grade, or $72 Per
month, TN the ground that he required
the constant aid and attendance Of an
other person.
Assistant Secretary Davis says in his de
cislon that after carefully Considering all
the evi i,lence in the case, he must re tect the
claim for increase, as the certificate of the
melical examination, shows that the claiI:s
ant can walk fairly well, dress and undress
himsei. and attend to all his personal wants,
and he is, therefore, of the opinion that
the claimant is not in need of even fire.

The special cable dispatch referred to
In the abov message said: Anexaggerated
idea of the wariike nature Of the situation
between Great Britain and France In
reference to West Africa has suddenly
seized the British press. As a matter OF
fact, the crisis was much more threaten
ing several eeks ago, before the Tunis
agreement was made, than today, and
there is now little doubt that the dif-
ferences will be amicably adjusted.
The reason ttat the situation has i'm
proved is Il e same as in all other dipio-
matte emergencies within the past two
years. Lord Salisbury, under pressure,
made substantial concessions. These Con-
cessions are Of a nature which make i'm
possible the realization CT Great Britain S
pet ambition of an Africa all English
from Cape Town to Cairo.
This cry, when raised two years ago.
melted France to pursue counter aim,
which may lie described as from Senegal
10 the Egyptian soudan under the French
flag"
IL was eighteen months ago that the
French expedition began moving frcm the
west to the east. OF course, the two pat
of national ambition crossed, and now each
side is seeking to confront the other witt
accomplished facts. Butwhatev er ma ynOw
happen in that region, there is no longer
any desire on the part OF either government
to base a controversy thereon.
Even collision between rival expedi
tions would not have serious consequences
and the whole dispute is certain to have
an amicable adjustment between Paris and
London. Tie terms of this adjustment
which there is good reason to believe, hav We
already been agreed upon, have II oil cen
made knewn, but it will almost certainly
prove that France is 4 substantial gaiueT
thereby.
The virtual official ADMISSION that
Great Britain has postponed the advance
upon khartoum, despite the fact that Gen.
Kitchener's forces could take 1t without
diff Guilty before midwinter, IL author
ized to proceed, may be regarded as part
of the understanding between Lord Sails
bury and NJ. Hanotaux. This action OF
the Britist. government has, however, pro-
voked the sternest criticism from its OWE
| supporters that it has suffered since 1t en-
| tered office.
The public attitude of the government,
which pretends to have a determination
sharply TO resist French agcression in West
Africa, is soiuething weaker than Inere
bluff. 1t is intended for home consump-
general revolt in the Conservative party
against Lord Salisbury's intolerable pu-
| sillanImity.

OBJECT TO SPANS OFFER.

The Autonomy Uttered Cuba by tn.
Spanish Government Not Genuine.
Havana, Nov. 27.-The long cable dis
patches from Madrid published here yester-
day by the DiariO de la Marina and LII
Lucha, recounting, according to the Madrid
press, the terms of tho decree of autonomy
signed by the Queen Regent, have produced
a very unfuvorable effect among the most
enthusiastic supporters of Spains new
policy.
Immediately after the publication OF
these dispatches the principal leaders in
Havana of the Autononist and Refornlist
parties held q meeting. in which 1t was
agreed that the kind Of autonomy that,
according to the press reports, the cabinet
of Senor Sagasta had granted to Cuba
was not the genuine one offered To the
Cuban people and would not have the ef-
feet of restoring peace and prosperity to
the island.
Resolutions to that effect We're passed
and the presidents Of both parties caDled,
shortly after the meeting ended, to the
Refornist and Autononlist representatives
at Madrid, expressing the general disap-
pointment caused by the news and urging
them to call on Senior sagasta and senior
Moret and explain to the cabinet the state
of public opinion In Havana.
The principal objections to the decree
are the creation Of mixed commission
of Spaniards aud Cubans to decide upon the
tariff, and the final decision in all i'm
portant colonial affairs left to the Spanish
Cortes.
The discomfort of autonomists and re-
formists is considered extremely important
here by the Spanish officials. These par
ties are the principal elements through
which Gen. Blanco INTENDED to convince
the insurgents OF the wisdom of accepting
autonomy. No efforts have been made
by the captain general to thwart their
manifestation or conceal tie news of their
discomfort.
