The Number of People Now
Drawing Pensions in the
United States.
NO NEW LEGISLATION
Will bo Required to Deal with Pension
Claims of tho Present War Less Than
Ono Hundred Claims Filled as Yet
Arc Mostly Filed by widows
of Santiago Victims.

Washington. Aug. 23.-In the forthcon-
pensions, MIR. II. Clay Evans it will be
hown that on June 80, 1897, there were on
he rolls of the pension bureau 9T6,O14 pen
|sloncrs. To this must be added 6S52 orig
inal claims granted but not recorded and
1872 reservations which were not entered
at the time on the books. Commissioner
Evans granted g. GAS original claims dur
ing the past year and restored 1899 pen
sloners to the benefits of pensions. The
pensioners now aggregate 1040,3j6. More
pensions were granted last year than any
time from 1859 up to 1880.
There is absolutely no means of even
approximating what the claims will be
under the recent war The pension office
has done nothing with the claims that
have been filed up to this time They do
not aggregate a hundred and for the most
part are claims of widows and next of
kin for the soldier boys who fell before
Santiago.
Before claim can be perfected 1t must
contain the full record of tho soldiers SER
vice and this information has not vet
been compiled by the war department.
When this is done the claims will be
speedily taken up.
The majority of the claims will be for
wounds and sickness, the latter leaving
the soldier more or less disabled.
No additional legislation will be reuuir-
cd to deal with the cases arising from this
war. Tho present laws, the authorities
say cover all that Is necessary and claims

pressivc one. To hear the strains Of "Ha.

taps as the Hawaiian ensign sank from
It's position and to notice the emotion OF
many who had been born under it and
had lived their lives under 1t was solemn
But then came the buglc call for the rails
ing OF Old Glory, and the strains of Tho
Star Spangled Banner" broke forth as
that banner was unfurled to the breeze.
When the cheers broke forth and eyes
that had been dim for a few minutes be-
came bright when the stars and stripes
blew out.
The picture presented In and around the
executive building was most striking. In
the grounds and around all the approach
es were crowds Of onookers, OF varied
nationality. Notably remarkable was the
number Of Hawaiians. Within the grounds
the military and naval display was fine.

the mounted patrol, the police and the cit

Tho city contains 5000 inhabitants and

ton n this city. Bishop Messner was the
principal speaker to-day. He has lust re.
turned from Rome, and his utterances
are considered important. He discussed
the school question, taking a radically op-
positc view from that Of Archbishop Ire
land He said that the propaganda re-
grets tho attitude OF many English-speak-
ing Catholics IN this country on the school
question, while the position of German
Catholics met with approval. The words
or the Pope as they were delivered TO
Bishop Messner, were to tho effect that II
was to be regretted that so many Catho-
Hos were sending their children to the
public schools In place OF the parochial

was quiet and uneventful, the rain inter-

sumed command of the regiment and will
remain until the men are mustered out.

The chief topic of interest at present
among the officers and men is how soon

1t is however, safe to say that the final
discharge Of the troops will not be COM
