Dayton, O., Aug. 24.-The contest
for control Of the democratic state
central committee has become person
al and intensely bitter so far as the
two leaders Of the factions, Joseph II.

for governor. The friends OF ex-Sen-

for control of the organization, while

CUBAN WAR CLAIMS.
The Applications for Pensions I'M
der the Recent War Small.
EO1 4 HUNDRED CLAIMS YET FILED.
The List Of Troops to BE uttered Out Of
the Army Nearly C0mplete-All the
Volunteer Cavalry to he
Disbanded.

Washington, Aug. 24.-In the forth.
coming annual report Of the commits
sioner of pensions, Mr., II. Clay Evans,
it will be shown that on June 80, 1897,
there were on the rolls Of the pension
bureau 976,Ol4 pensioners. To this
must be added 6.S59 original claims
granted, but not recorded, and 1872
reservations which were not entered
at the time on the books. Commits
sioner Evans granted 1885, original
claims during the past year and re-
stored 4,OS9 pensioners to the benefits
Of pensions. The pensioners now ag-
gregate 1,O4O, 1885, More pensions were
granted last year than at any time
from 1869 up to 1880.
There is absolutely no means Of even
approximating what the claims will
be under the recent war. The pension
Office has done nothing with the
claims that have been filed up to this
time. They do not aggregate 100, and
for the most part are claims of widows
and the next OF kin for the soldier
boys who fell before Santiago. Before
a claim can be perfected it must con.
tain the full record OF the soldiers
service, and this information has not
yet been compiled by the war depart
ment. When this is done, the claims
will be speedily taken up. The ma.
jority Of the claims will be for wounds
and sickness, the latter leaving the
soldiers more or less disabled. No ad-
ditional legislation will be required to
deal with the cases arising from this
war. The present laws, the authori.
ties say, cover all that is necessary,
and claims will be adjudicated on the
same lines as those of the rebellion.
THE ORDER FOR MASTERING OUT.
Washington, Aug. Alt is expected
that the order for mastering out lOO,.
900 men Of the volunteer forces will be
issued to-day. The list Of troops to
be mustered out is nearly complete,
but some changes may be made before
the order is finally signed. This will
reduce materially the number Of
troops in the different camps
Senator Hansbrough, of North d.
kota, had conference with the presi-
dent yesterday in behalf Of Grigsby's
rough riders, who are anxious to be
kept in service and sent to either
Cuba or Porto Rico. The senator
learned that it had been decided to
muster out all Of the volunteer cav
airy, but that it may be possible for
cavalrymen wishing to remain in
the service to be dismounted and kept
as infantrymen.

THE Maine AFFAIR.
Mystery Of Who Blew Up the Bat
tleship to Be Investigated.
Cen. BLAyCO'S SUSPICIOUS ACTIONS.
The General Fears the Truth May Come
Out and Hs Wants TO Be Out Of Reach
Before the Expose-ro Feed
the Starving Cubans.

Washington, Aug. 24-The mystery
Of who blew up the battleship Maine
In the harbor Of Havana, February Is,
may be solved before the Spanish get
out of Cuba. President Mckinley en-.
tertains the hope that while the Amer
lean members OF the Cuban military
commission are arranging terms Of
evacuation Of Havana they may also
be able to put together in one con-
nected whole the different bits of evil
dence gathered while the court Of in
quiry was at work. Should the COM
missoners be able to do that which Is
expected OF them and make a chain Of
circumstantial evidence strong enough
to warrant action, the United States
will demand the arrest and detention
OF the persons upon whom suspicion
rests
Capt. Gen. Blanco's repeated efforts
to resign and get out of Cuba before
the commissioners meet, his deter
mined refusal to serve as a member of
the commission, all lend credence to
the report that Blanco fears the truth
may come out and he wants to be
safely out Of Havana before the
expose. When Maj Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee was last in Washington he held a
long conference with the president,
and in the course Of it the question OF
finding the guilt of those practically
responsible for the war with Spain
was gone over at length. Gen. Lee is
said to believe that the truth can be
ascertained and the officials implicated
arrested before Spain's army leaves
Havana.
Admiral Sampson and Gems. Wade
and Butler will receive positive, but
secret, instruction upon this point,
and all the bits Of evidence In the pos
session Of the government will be
placed In their hands with orders to
quietly secure, II possible, the persons
Of the guilty ones. Officials near to
the president say that Mr. Mckinley
would regard as fitting climax to
the war the apprehension Of the mis-.
creants who sent s66 Americans to
their deaths when they destroyed the
Maine.
WILL FEED THE STARVING CUBANs.
Washington, Aug. 24.-The war de.
partment is considering plans for feed
ing the people Of Cuba who may be
found in starving condition when the
Spanish troops evacuate. 1t is be-
lieved that thousands must be desti'
tute. The poor people, known as re-
concentrates, may have persisted, but
the others, who were not part OF the
Spanish army, are believed by officials
here to be in precarious condition.
Furnishing food will be under the
direction OF army officers.
