WASHINGTON LETTER.
rom Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. d. c., May 20, 1898.
The Cape Verde Spanish fleet
is now in American waters sure
enough, but instead of coming to
fight it appears to have come to
dodge around and avoid fight;
to try to carry aid to Gen. Blanco,
who is known to be in want of
supplies, especially ammunition,
and to stave off the invasion of
Cuba by an American army. Up
to this time it has succeeded in
lodging all right, and, owing to
the superior speed of it's vessels,
it is feared that it may continue
to do so for awhile longer. But
1t has not succeeded IN aiding
B1anco, and both President Nc
Kinley and Secretary Long are
confident that it cannot do so,
unless it fights and defeats one of
our big fleets, and that is hot
regarded. as even among the
possibilities. Its arrival in Amer
lean waters did temporarily stave
off the invasion of Cuba, but its
presence will not continue
TO do 50. The plans for
the inyasiot were suspended be-
cause it was deemed wise to wait
until after the big naval fight
which the Spanish were supposed
to be seeking had taken place,
but now that it is known that NO
fight is being sought by the
Spanish fleet, those plans are tc
be carried OUT Meanwhile oul
fleets will seek the Spanish fleet
and destroy it, if they can catch
lit.
j This government is now acting
1lupon the old saying, "You must
] fight the devil with fire." Ii
other words it is doing what the
| Spaniards have done from the
first---concealiftg the movement:
of its army and navy, and throw
1 ing the enemy off the scent b.
allowing misleading news to b,
published. While this new polio,

from Raymond's Life of Abraham
Lincoln. At the White House
one day some gentlemen were
present from the west, excited
and troubled about the commits

ministration. The presi d e t
heard them patiently and then
replied:
Gentlemen, suppose all the property

The Oregon arrived at Jupiter Inlet on the
Florida coast, probably on her way to Charles
ton.
President Mckinley has issued a procla-
nation calling for $4,000 more volunteers.
This makes total army strength of 100000.
Dewey has sent the cruiser Baltimore and
and the former Spanish gun)ooat Callao to re-
take the American bark Saranac that was
seized by the Spanish.
1t is claimed that Schley has the Spanish
fleet blockaded in the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba and that one or two cruisers can keep
them there till our fleet is ready to attack
them.

A Spanish Version.

It is said that the Spanish in
Havana are still under the i'm
preston that the Americans met
defeat at Manila. Puerto Ricah
newspapers of as late a date as
May 4, received in this country,
show that the people there were
yet deluded with the notion that
the Spaniards won victory in
| Oceanica. The current version
of the battle made for Spanish
consumption in the colonies is a
total perversion OF the facts.
The Puerto Rico Herald, gives
this account of the fight at Ma
Mia:
| Victory arises!
| Our fleet, composed of nine ships,
and under command of that brilliant
and illustrious sailor and warrior, Don
Patricio Monteio, has thrashed the
Yankee squadron which sailed from
Hong Kong for the Philippines, fore
| ing it to withdraw, after infiicting
serious damage, thus teaching the
Yankees a;lesson.
Thus has resulted the decisive
triumph which the Yankees expected
r,f
We said SO. The Yankee shuadron
was respectable, but it was wofully in
sufficient to fight our feet the patriot
ism and gunnery of whose crew made
the odds overwhelming in favor OF
glorious Spain.
Wherever our ships find American
ships they cannot but destroy them.
Manila furnishes the first instance.
There wooden ships for the most part
attacked the armored and protected
ships of the Yankees, and, in spite of
the inferiority of our ships, the victory
was ours.
That's pretty rank, but the
Leading editorial in the same
paper outranks it. For boasting
it is equal to the pronunciamentos
of the captain generals of Cuba
or the Philippines. It says:
We are at war at last with the hate
full and accursed Yankee-that nation
which is dedicated to the golden calf.
The die is cast. Let US fight with
the vigor which our ancestors fought.
To the provocations of these charlatans
Of the Hudson, drunken with gin and
surfeited with pork, let US answer in
the words of the immortal defender of
the heroic city: War to the knifem
Assassins of defenseless mules and
robbers of merchant ships, you would
be safer in your cities of the interior,
far from the shot and shell of our ships.
Do not venture forth. After we have
sunk your ships we will invade your
territory, and we will take Washing
ton, New York and Chicago.
Wy HeH we nave captured Mckinney
and he is our prisoner we will make
him black the boots of our invincible
generals.
Such bonbast as that is almost
sublime. Fancy a little cigarette
nation such as Spain is, taking
Washington, New York and
Chicago! Imagine Pres1 de n
Mckinley b1acking the boots OF
Weyler, for instance! What
must be the ignorance and Gre
dullty of people whom it is
thought profitable to feed such
stuff. These Spanish would be
amusing if they we're not SC

That Anglo-American alliance,
which so many persons believe
will be an accomplished fact in
the near future, has been very
much to the front this week,
owing to the speech of Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, member of
the English cabinet, which seems
to have created a sensation among
the European governments. AL
though there is reason to believe
that European politics figured in
the making of the speech, it has
been received with great cordial
ity in Washington. Neither the
president nor any member of his
cabinet would allow themselves
to be quoted for publication on
such matter, but it is known
that they were much pleased with
Mr.. Chamberlain's speech; also,
that they regard it as an import
ant factor in making any Euro

New York. March L-Dr John n Gard
ner. OF New York. who vas some time
ago a medical pension examiner in the
service Of the United states govGbm ent,
IL the writer Of an article in the March
number OF the North American Review
in which he makes a suggestion as to the
method by which he thinks the pension
roll Of the nation might be purged and
the United States saved millions OF dol
lars every year.
DR.. Gardner contends that III the OFF,
GERS selected By the people TO seek out
and properly compensate men who were
disabled in the defense OF the Union had
exercised one-half the care that life in
surance companies do in avoiding bad
risks the pension roll would present
very different appearance from what II
does today"
The plan which DR.. Gardner suggests
for purging the pension roll Is one which
would involve measures 10 correct the
carelessness OF the original examiners.
Here Is a method" says DR.. Gardiner.
by which frauds and pretenders can De
gotten rid Of Let congress pass a law
requiring re-examination OF every PEN
sloner who baseE his claim on physical
disability contracted while dlscharging
his duty as a Union soldier A board OF
medical examiners should be established
in every state; two or more boards might
be required In some states. Each board
should be composed Of two members. a
surgeon and physician. They should be
selected solely for their eminent and ac-
knowledged ability and their honesty and
standing In the state They should give
all their tine to their work ard be paid
salary OF SeocO year. They should
carefully examine every pensioner in
their respective states and report to the
government exactly the physical condl-
iion OF each and how much, II any disa-
billty in any case was the result OF ser
vice in the war OF secession.
They should be influenced by nothing
except the physical facts presented and
always give the applicant the benefit Of
any doubt. Such an examination would
require about one year to complete It and
would cost the government from one 10
three millions OF dollars. No man can
predict certainly what the result Of this
examination would be. My experience for
twenty years In the practice of medicine
has made me familiar with the physical
condition OF a number OF pensioners and
