NEW PENSION POLICY.
Radical Change Probable in Attitude
Toward Men With Confed-
crate Records.

Washington. Aug. 2l.-1t is not improba-
BILE that official announcement will be made
in few weeks of a radical change in the
present attitude OF the pension bureau
towards pension claimants who had Con-
federate war service. Under the present
construction of the laws, any service in
the Confederate cause. irrespective of lat
er service for the government, is a bar to
pensions. Commissioner OF Pensions Evans
believes that If claimant served in any
capacity in the Confederate service but
later deserted or left its ranks, enlisted IN
honorably discharged, il would be an in
justice to refuse him 4 pension. He be-
iicvas that. having performed honorable
service in the Union army, the past serv-
retary Webster Davis, whose decisions
have been in the line of liberal construc-
tion OF the pension laws. is understood TO
have similar views. The question has been
referred TO the president and Secretary
Bliss for their approval.

CHEROKEE CITIZENSHIP.
Decision which Affects Many Persons and
Large Property Interests.

Muskogee, I, T..Dec. i.-In the Unit
ed States court for the northern dis
trict of Indian Territory, Judge Will
liam NJ. Springer has rendered his de-
cision in the matter of the applications
of certain persons to be enrolled as
citizens of the Cherokee Nation.
The court holds that those Indians
who have separated themselves from
the present Cherokee Nation, or from
the old Cherokee Nation, east of the
Mississippi river. and have taken up
their residence in the states and have
removed their effects out OF the limits
OF the Nation and the eastern band of
Cherokee Indians who remained in the
states after the treaty of 1885. have
forfeited their rights and privileges as
citizens of the Nation, and that such
persons cannot regain their citizen
ship unless they comply with the laws
OF the Cherokee Nation and be admit
ted to citizenship as therein provided
This ruling affects large class of
prominent people in Georgia and In
North and South Carolina and their
descendants who are scattered over the
land and trace their ancestry back to
the Cherokee Indians. Among those
affected are the Hubbards OF the
southwest and the Grays of New Eng
land. The opinion affects more than
1000 people who are applicants for
citizenship in the Cherokee Nation, and
property interests valued at over S.

WElLER AS A PREY ARICATOR


New York. Dec. 4.-Senor Canalejas.
the Madrid editor and close friend of
Senior Sagasta, is satisfied that Plnar
del Rio province is not "pacined," says
the Havana correspondent in a dis
patch to the World He went to the
United States as the confidential agent
of Spain's premier, 1t is said, u ascer-
tain the real disposition of the govern
ment at Washington and the condi-
ton of affairs in Cuba.
He visited Pinar del Rio last month.
Official reports have been received
from the generals of great military
activity there.
The Spanish attacked, Nov. rs, the
insurgent position in the Posoria Hills,
lately the headquarters of Pedro Diaz
and Mayia Rodriguez. The Spaniards
mad two brigades of infantry of eight
battallons each, two squadons of guer-
rillas and four cannon. Major Toro was
wounded While standing near Gen.
Bernal.
The official account says that five
hundred insurgents defended the posi-
ton; that many articles were captured
at the plantations; that the sweet
potatoes We're destroyed and that
many tAploslNe DullttS were lOunu.
While the troops were burying Major
Seisdedos, Senior Canalejas was fired
at.
The Spanish columns were under
fire throughout the night of the 29th
but the official reports give the loss
of only one major and two guerrillas
killed, one major, one captain and is
men wounded.
Decorations have been requested for
this brilliant" action. The loss of the
insurgents is not known.
mo bodies were found on the field
of battle"
What Senior Canalejas witnessed
may account for the cable report from
Madrid that at yesterdays cabinet
counsel at which the queen regent pre-
sided, Premier Sagasta reported that
THE military operations In the pro-
vince OF Pinar del Rio, Cuba, show 1t
to be nm important center of rebellion
notwithstanding that Gen. Weyler de-
clared it pacifed."
Another official announcement tells
of sharp "skirmish" in eastern Cuba.
where Gen. Pando. the chief of mill
tary operations on the island-who
was falsely reported killed few days
ago-is personally conducting n cam
paign against Gen. Gomez.
The Spanish losses are said to have
bee" slight.
at Guisa near Bayamo Santiago pro-
Gen. Garcia are said to have taken
the town after "heroic resistance" by
the Spanish garrison of $50 men.
The insurgents had four cannons.
Large Spanish forces have been sent
from Manzanillo to Guisa.

Bailly. 81 found 1t was a factun drawn
up In terms almost identical with those
which were given by the newspapers
two days ago. The same accusations
were brought against superior officer

There was the initial "N'' and II re-

NO uAsTY ACTION FOR CUBA.
Congress VIII Not Proceed Now Unless
Spain should Force Issues.

New York. Dec. A special to the
Herald from. washington says:
Pro-Cuban sentiment is strong In

position of many OF the senators and
representatives to delay action pend
ing the trial by Spain of the new po-
licies of the Sagsta ministry and the
influence of the administration and of
the conservative leaders in both houses
VIII be able to prevent any action.
These are the conclusions arrived at
ms the result of conversations with
practically all ofthe senators and rep
resentatiVes who have arrived in
Washington. The men talked with
represent every party and all shades
of opinion. out of is senators seen, Il
are against ctlonOf any kind by Con-
gress at this time. Six are in favor
Of action, but do not believe Il is pos
sible, and s are unreservedly in favor
OF immediate action.
Among the members of the House OF
Representatives seen. the proportion
in favor of action, 81 rather larger than
in the Senate. This is accounted for by
the fact that the majority of those
seenare Democrats and Populists. II
must be borne in mind, however, that
the House Of Representative is prac-
tically nowerless to act in opposition
to the will Of the Speaker and the par
ty leaders IL they are supported by a
large percentage OF the membership.

majority of the committee is in accord
with Mr.Hitt, and the Speaker. backed
up by this committee, can hold any

less the pressure for action should be-
come much stronger than 1t is at the
present time.
