Yenr's Pay.
Washington. Feb. 16.-In the dark cloud
of despair which hangs over the homes of
the victims of the Maine disaster there is
a silver lining of hope that the surviving
relatives of the dead ones will be cared for
by the general government, asJwere the
survivors of the victims of the Samoan
disaster few years ago.
A special act of Congress was passed to
provide for the widows and orphans of the
Inflated members of the crews from the
warships Trenton. Vandalia and Nipsic,
which were swallowed up in a tidal wave
at Apia.
IL is not usual to grant pensions to wild
ows and orphans of sailors who die in
time of peace, but in view Of the extraor-
binary circumstances attending the Sa-
moan disaster, the family of each man
who perished at Apia was given a sum
equal to one-year's salary on each vic
tim. 1t is understood similar measure
will be introduced in behalf of the survi-
vors of the victims Of The Maine disaster.
