a bottle of it. His wife did not approve
of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the balm thor

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From ot,r Regular CoTespondentl
WASHINGTON, May 16, IS

President McKinley's greatest
anxiety to-day arises from the fear
that the Cape Verde Spanish fleet,
now believed to be headed for
Cuba, may escape the feet Of Ad-
miral Sampson, which did such
good worl, in destroying the forti-
Hcations in the harbor at San Juan,
Porto Rico, last week, and the
flying squadron Of Commodore
Schley, which is now being given
its first opportunity to show what
it can do in the fighting line, and
get safely into some Cuban harbor.
ii Will make no difference in the
end-not a vessel in that Spanish
feet will escape destruction or
capture-but it would be much
easier to destroy the fleet on the
open sea than it will be after it
gets into fortified Cuban harbor.
And besides, that fleet has supplies
for the Spanish in Cuba which it is
very desirable to keep away from
them.
The coming Of the Spanish fleet
has naturally resulted in holding
up all plans for the invasion of
Cuba is really very advantageous
to us, as it will enable us to make
the invasion with much larger
and better prepared army. 1t has
been found that many Of the vol
unteers are poorly equipped, and
it will take time to gather the new
equipment for them. Spending a
short while in camp will also be
greatly beneficial to the volunteers;
it will get them in condition to
stand a campaign in Cuba.
The several fights which have
taken place in Cuban harbors be-
tween our blockading ships and
the Spaniards during the last few
days have been entirely satisfactory
tothe administration. Formidable
batteries have been DESTROYED. two
Spanish cables have been cut.
many Spaniards have been killed.
and our loss has been compara-
tivelv small. The crews Of block
aiding ships have proven themselves

PENSION DECISIONS REVERSED.
Rulings by the Assistant Secretary os

Webster Davis. assistant secretary of tho
interior, yesterday reversed the action of
the pension bureau in a number of cases
One was the claim of James Robinson. late
Company C, 102 u. S. C. T., who is already
receiving a pension of Sc a month under
1.-The provisions of the act of June "a. 1880.
In his opinion the assistant secretary SAYS:
The certificate of the physicians who ex-
amined claimant shows that he is afflicted
with headache, dizziness and pain in the
BACK OF his neck and presents clear pic
ture OF megrim, which he suffers all the
time; the joints of his hands are enlarged
ana slight: limited in motion from rheu-
matism; there is creaking in the right
shoulder joint and the muscles of the back
are rigid and slightly atrophied. and 1t is
evidently painful for him to stoop. He also
received a severe gunshot wound While
the evidence fails to show that claimant is
entitled to the maximum rate I am of the
opinion that 1t fairly shows that claimant
Is so incapacitated to earn a support by
manual labor and is entitled TO a rate In
excess of 81 per month under the act OF
June q. 1890. The action appealed from is
accordingly reversed"
Another case is that Of David H. Skid
more. late Company 1, 40th New York
Volunteers. In this case Assistant Secre-
tary Davis saws: -.--s...
The evidence is sufficient to justify fur
ther inquiry through the special examine
ton division of the pension Office as TO
whether applicant incurred disability in the
manner stated. The rejection OF the claim
is, therefore. set aside, and ii is reopened
for this purpose"
he also reversed the action Of the pension
bureau and ordered the following cases re-
opened for special examination I'm order to
give the claimants chance to prove their
claims: Hugh Gallagher. late Company A.
