GRANTING OF PENSIONS.
Commissioners Evans Arranging for Han
ding the Cases Growing Out of the
War with spain.

Washington, July %. commissions
of Pensions Evans is making arrange
ments for handling the pension cases
growing out of the war with Spain.
No pensions have yet been granted,
although about so applications have
been filed. The delay has been due to
the desire of the officials to systema-
tize the work and arrangements are
being made to have the pensions of
this war handled entirely separate
from all others. Some time is re-
quired to arrange the machinery for
this. but it is expected that within
ten days the granting of pensions will
begin. No applications have been
filed for pensions on account of the
killing and wounding of officers and
men in the Santiago compaign, all
thus far received being on account of
deaths in camp and deaths and injuries
due to railway collisions and other ac-
cidental causes. The pension roll is
expected to be large, in proportion to
the duration of the war and the num-
Der of men engaged. on account of the
destructive character of modern arms
and the unhealthy climate where most
OF the field operations are conducted.

"All the stone quarried about here is

was used it would have TO be brought
