OFFICE, BUT NO PAY.
THIS THE APPARENT CONDITION
OF THE CAPITOL,s ENGINEER.
CRUDITIES In APPROPRIATION BILL.
Allowance Left Ont, But Act Gre
ating the Position Not Abolished
Register of Land Omce Abolished,
Hut the Pay Goes On.

II seems that the opinion Of the Attor-
ney-Gcneral is needed to construe the ap-
preparation bill recently passed by the
General Assembly.
Several OF its provisions appear contra
dietory. and its effects cannot be clearly
seen until these are explained.
The bill abolishes the duties Of one Of
fee. but leaves the appropriation, and Of
another strikes out the appropriation,
but apparently does not abolish the office
1t is claimed by many persons that
Colonel Thomas i. Pollard. the Engineer
at the Capitol. whose Office was thought
20 have been abolished by the recent
General Assembly. will continue to dis
charge his duties and draw his salary
The appropriation bill makes no provision
for paying him for his services, but the
Office has not been abolished by legisla-
tive enactment 1t was mentioned seve-
raj times in debate that the Office had
been abolished by the fact that no ap-
preparation had been made for the Off
Glars salary. but in former cases where
the appropriation had been omitted. and
the office had not been abolished 10y legis-
lative enactment the holder thereof con-
tinued TO draw his salary. This was the
case with the Fish Commissioner. for
whose salary no appropriation was made
by the Legislature of 1855. yet his Of
flee was not abolished and he continued
TO draw his salary as formerly.
THE CASES JUST ALIKE.
Ii was argued by some that the provi-
zion In the recent bill that all acts and
parts of acts not in accord with II were
repealed made the case different as 10
Colonel Pollard, and that his Office was
thereby abolished. but exactly the same
provision was contained in the apps pria-
ton bin OF 1895. II the sections OF the
Code creating the Office of Fish Commits
sioner and fixing his salary We're not re-
pealed by the bill OF two years ago. II IS
argued that those sections creating the
office and defining the duties of the En-
gineer at the Capitol are not repealed by
the simple omission Of the Official from
the appropriation bill Of 1895, and that his
salary viii be paid out Of money In the
Treasury not otherwise appropriated. The
Attorney-General has not yet received a
copy OF the bill. and when he does so he
VIII probably be asked for his construc-
tion OF the measure. Meanwhile. Colonel
Pollard will continue 10 discharge the du-
ties OF his office.
AS TO THE REGISTER.
There IL also doubt as to the constrnc-
\ tion OF the bin as regards the Office ~
y Register Of the Land Office. This Office
was specifically abolished by the bill and
the duties Of Register OF the Land Once
transferred TO the Secretary OF tbs Com

1t seems large numbers of applica-

for $500 lots of the new per cent
bonds, this being the largest gum al
lowed under the treasury regulations
The whole thing indicates that heavy
capitalists are, through the agency of the
banks and numerous nominally indi-
vidual applications, endeavoring to
make sure Of "good whsck" at the

THE SPANISH ARMADA.

Spain is great on brag, and always was
Her great armada was to conquer Eng.
land in 1888. She had been preparing
her feet and army for sometime. Her
ships were much larger than those of
England, and in those days Spain was
the leading power of Europe, and feared
But the armada was an immense failure.
The Spanish army never landed in
England, and the feet suffered much
from the English ships, which, though
smaller, were well maneuvered and did
fearful execution when there was oppor-
tunity. If a Spanish ship fell behind
she was assailed, usually by more than
one English vessel, and captured or de.
stroyed. So in going through the Eng
lish channel and up the coast the
armada suffered so much they did not
dare to land, nor to return the way
they came. The Spanish feet therefore
went on north around Scotland and Ire
land, suffering from storms and ship
wreck. In short, the "invincible
armada" was frightful and costly dis
aster in men and ships.
Philip II was then king Of Spain and
Elizabeth was queen OF England. The
armada consisted Of 129 (or more) YES.
sells, 49, ,295 soldiers, and s,40O sailors,
and was commanded by the Duke Of
Medina sidonia. After considerable
skirmishing, the English fleet of so ves-
sells under Lord Howard Of Eflngh am
defeated the Spanish feet in the Eng
lish channel and straits Of Dover. In
this action the distinguished Sir Francis
Drake touk leading part. He had
long been terror to Spain, and only q
year or SO before had sailed into the
harbor of Cadiz with few ships and
burned about hundred vessels, some
Of them designed for the armada. This
delayed the sailing of the armada until
the next year 1888.
In addition to the troops on board the
feet, Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma
had 80, 900 troops in Flanders ready to
cross over to England, but the English
feet prevented. The English had at
least $50 ships in all, and they were
active and vigilant and were skillfully
handled. The fighting in the channel
and straits continued some two weeks.
The armada entered the channel on the
10th of July. On the night of the 2Sth
of July eight fireships were set on fire
and we're taken by the tide among the
Spanish ships there at anchor in the
roads of Calais. The fire ships chased
them out and this was brakes object,
and the next day he followed the scattered
and scared Spanish feet. That day
Drake worked havoc with them, killing
and disabling many ships. 1t was this en-
gagement that broke the hopes of the
Spaniards and 10 a council of war they re-
solved to sail for the North Sea and
around the islands home. In Septem-
ber and October only fifty four shatter-
ed vessels reached Spain, with only
5000 or 1000 men, and thoss in a
wretched state from sickness and want.
1t proved frightful calamity to Spain.

John G. McNutt of Vigo, for attorney.

dent of public instruction; James s.
Guthrie OF Brown, for state statistician;
and Edward Barrett of Hendricks, for
state geologist. Seven judges were
nominated for the various districts over
| the state.
Senator Turpie presided and made
an able and acceptable address.
The senator's review of the Spanish
war, the result OF lawless aggressions
and outrages was forcible. He declared
for vigorous prosecution of hostilities,
as economy, both as to life and treasure.
The senator discussed the legislation
providing for war revenue, dwelling at
length upon the successful efforts of the
Democratic senators in securing tax on
inheritances over $4,000 in value; the
coinage of the unemployed silver in the
treasury in standard dollars at the rate
OF IL 500, 900 per month, and the leyying
OF tax against the sleeping car COM
panies and the sugar trusts. While the
bill contained many things grossly
wrong, such as the bond issue, il carried
supplies to the army and navy, and the
senator voted for this unconditionally, :,
although protesting against the methods
employed by the Republicans to create
the revenue. Senator Turpie also dis.
cussed Cuban independence, to which
The faith of the nation was pledged sin

pledges to the whole world of our advo.
cacy and devotion to the cause of civil
and political freedom in this hemisphere
and shall thus do deed of immortal re-
membrance."
The senator, however, sounded a note
of warning in saying' "But the policy
OF the administration in respect to the
independence of the Cuban republic is
yet unaDnounced. There is a sort of
Intercourse, exclusively military, so to
speak, between our forces and those of
the Cuban revolutionists This studied
silence and prolonged inaction can give
rise only to grave suspicious in respect
to the ulterior purpose OF such sort of
management, and breed question of seri.

CHIcKAMAUGA, June Eft is no
longer a question that large force of
troops are about to be ordered from
Camp Thomas to the front. An order
was issued by command of Major Gen.
eral Brooke yesterday, which virtually
amounts to an order for the movement
of 10 regiments to Cuba.
In accordance with the order the first
division of the First corps and two
brigades of the second division of the
same corps will form an expeditionary
force and are ordered to be Immediately
prepared and equipped for active field
service. The following brigades are in.
cluded in this order.

Indiana and First Georgia.
Second brigade, commanded by Gener.
al Mckee and composed of the First

eighth Indiana and Twelfth New York.
The order does not specify Just when
these troops will go or to what point
they will be sent for embarkation, but
it is understood that they will 60 to
Tampa for direct departure for Cuba.
That the order means an almost i'm.
mediate move was signified by the gen.
eral rush yesterday afternoon. The
ordnance department received large
stores, including Springfield rifles and
other equipments sufficient to complete
the fitting out of 20 regiments. AS
soon as these stores arrived they were
rushed to the various regiments for
which they were intended.
