COMMISSIONER evANs' 3 vo4r.
A Net Gain of Over 5000 In the Mum
Der of PensioneFs.

A Net Gain of Over 5000 In the Num-
Der of Pensioners.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The first an
nuai report of Commissioner of PEN
sion H. Clay Evans to the secretary OF
the interior has been made pull tic. A
summary follows:
The whole number of pensioners on
the rolls June 30, 1897, was 976,0l4.
The net gain over the previous year
was 1886. Seven widows of revolu-
donary soldiers and nine daughters OF
revolutionary soldiers are still on the
rolls.
The amount disbursed for pensions
by the pension agents during the year
was $iS9, 799, 242.12 and the amount
disbursed by treasury settlement was
$3.50. 475.23. a total of $139, 949, 717.35.
This exceeds the amount discussed
during the fiscal year 1896 by the sum
of 81, 1874, 4S0.1S. If the 1871 certifi-
Gates which were held in this bureau
until July |, 1897, had been mailed to
the pension agents during the fiscal
year they would have required first
payments amounting to So, 191, 1914, be-
sides the additional annual value,
which would also have been charge
upon the appropriation. This amount,
added to that actually disbursed, makes
an aggregate of Sal. 800. 936. The APP
preparation for the payment of pensions
for the fiscal year 1897 was only $780,
Co., 900
referring to the consolidation OF
agencies Commissioner Evans recon-
mends that the executive order OF July
IA last, suspending the order of Feb. 6.
1897, the latter of which provided for
the consolidation, be continued indefi-
nitely and adds:
Il am still of the opinion that the re-
ductioE and consolidation of the PEN
sion agencies at this time is not only
unnecessary but inexpedient that the
disruption of business in the agencies,
the business for the interior depart
ment, and the general inconvenience
of the service would more than offset
the anticipated saving to the govern
ment. Attention is called to signifi-
cant saving in rentals of agencies, a
policy still being continued. In con-
clusion the report recommends the pub
lication of complete list of pension
sioners and of a law to the end that nc
pension be granted to the widow of
any soldier that shall marryihereafter u

WEYLER'S ARREST ORDERED.
He VIII BE Tried by Courtmartial ON
Landing In spain.

MADRID, Nov. 6.-The Spanish gov
eminent, as result of the delibera-
lions of the ministers over the utter
ances of General Weyler, the former
captain general of Cuba, has come to-
the decision to try him by courtmar-
tial, no matter where he lands, if he
confirms the accuracy of the press re-
ports of his uUterances.
The commanding officers at all the
ports of the Spanish kingdom have
been instructed to demand of General
Weyler, the moment he can be COM
municated with, the exact terms of the
speech which he delivered in reply to
the manifestation at Havana upon the
occasion of his embarkation for Spain
ON Sunday.
The steamer Montserrat, on which
General Wevler sailed for Spain on
Sunday, on Wednesday reached Gibara.
on the northwest coast of Cuba, with
her engines disabled and may be COM
pelled to return to Havana. in which
case it is unlikely there will be interest
ing developments.
