PENSION ABUSES.

Anent the pension talk, Of which
there has been so much of late, espe-
cially touching the necessary amount
of annual appropriations and the never
ceasing pressure to spread out and nd
eralize the pension laws, a case has
lust arisen which will attract much at
tention. There is a bill before the
United States senate giving each or
the two surviving daughters of General
Meade 800 per month pension. The
senate committee has just made an ad-
verse report. Mr. Gallinger of New
Hampshire, in making the report, said
that congress had pensioned few
daughters Of soldiers of the revolution
airy war, and but one or two Of the war
Of 1872. The committee has resolved to
20 no further in that direction. Con-
gress has granted pensions to few
children of soldiers Of the late war, but
only those who from birth have been
physically or mentally incapacitated.
The conclusions of the committee will
surely meet with the approval of the
country. IF the experiment of pension
ing the daughters of General Meade
goes through, the daughters Of every
other soldier will have the right to ask
for a pension by special act. 1t was
recommended that the bill be indefin-
itely postponed, but on an objection by
Mr.. Allen Of Nebraska it was placed on
the calendar. That means that If the
bill does not receive consideration at
the present congress it will come up
again. Claims of any kind have a sort
of perpetual existence when once IN
trOduced in congress-

A London cable says 1t is under

Several members of the Anglo

GEN. GARC|A'S DEATH
Cubans win Not Easily Find a
Leader to Replace Him.

Largely the Result Of His
Work.

A dispatch TO the New York Trit-
une from Havana says. Calixto Gar.
cia's death az this critical period is a
loss for both Cuba and the United
States. The Cubans are today too
much excited over the killing Of two
OF their number on Sunday night by
Spanish officers and soldiers to ap.
preciate its significance, though their
grief was deep. The larger part of
the insurgent army had a strong
affection for Garcia. Commanders
who are in control OF the forces
around Havana appreciate that their
task is increased by Garcla's death.
Whether the commission 10 Wash
ingtOO is successful or not 10 arrang-
ing loan with which to pay the
insurgent troops, Garcia was the
leader TO whom all we're looking for

strength 10 controlling the radical
elements at the Santa Cruz assembly,
and having himself placed an the head
OF the commission 10 visit Washing

insurgents that they must not aDtag.

was decided and his wishes were re-
spected.

was shown.
The sorrow over GarIcia's death
will be widespread. He was not a

them that they have too few strong

The immediate effect OF his death
will be to bring forward leaders OF the
provisional government, such as
Masso and Capote. who were not in
harmony with Gercla. However, they
all counsel acquiescence regarding
temporary American control, and
some OF them lean toward annexation.
Their weak point Is that they cannot
