CUBAN WAR PENSIONS.
Less Than 100 Applications Received
and No Claims Have Been


WASHINGTON. Aug 23.-In the forth
coming annual report of the commissioner
of pensions. Mr.. H. Clay Evans. it will be
shown that. on June 80. 1897, there were on
the rolls of the pension bureau 9,6,01i PEN
stoners. To this must be added 6,So2 orig
inal claims granted. but not recorded. and
a62 restorationS which We're not entered at
the time on the books.
Commissioner Evans granted S., Gas origin
al claims during the past year and restored
i,os9 pensioners to the benefits Of pensions.
The pensioners now aggregate 1.N0,3SS-
More pensions were granted last year
than at any time from 1869 up to 1880.
There is absolutely no means of even ap-
proximating what the claims will be under
the recent war. The pension Office has done
nothing with the claims that have been
fled up to this time. They do not aggre-
gate hundred. and for the most part are
claims of widows and the next of kin for
the soldier boys who fell before Santiago.
Before claim can be perfected. 1t must
contain the full record of the soldiers serv-
ice, and this information has not yet 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 leav-
ing the soldiers more or less disabled.
No additional legislation will be required
TO deal with the cases arising from this
war. The present laws, the authorities say.
be adjudicated On the same lines as those

FRICTION is DISAPPEARING.
Philippine Junta in London Thinks
There VIII Re No Trouble
With ASufnaldO.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-The Associated Press
learns that the Philippine junta in London
received dispatch from Manila yesterday
announcing that matters there are rap
idly quieting down, and that the friction
between Aguinaldo and the Americans is
disappearing.
According to the junta's advices. the
insurgents for a time regarded General
Merritt and General Anderson as martinets
and feared they would adopt harsh meth
DDS. like the Spaniards. toward the Flip
pinos; but the insurgents from the first
have had the greatest confidence in Ad-
miral Dewey. whom they regard as a sort
of father and the most important Ameri-
can at Manila.
The junta is satisfied that all friction will
soon disappear and that there will be no
trouble from the insurgents II the Ameri-
cans decided to retain the Philippines.
According to wealthy Filipino now in
London. the Filippinos in Europe are all
well-to-do people. Hitherto they have held
aloof from the insurgents; but they now
realize that their interests demand action,
and they are about to form a committee to
open negotiations with the junta here. They
are all in favor of having the archipelago
retained by the United States. So strong is
course that they had contemplated ap-
preaching the British foreign Office to invite
Great Britain to intervene. and in any event
to prevent the islands being returned to
the control OF Spain. They decided, how
ever, to wait American action.
