pairing the defects in the condensing
tubes on the cruiser Charleston was COM
pleted at o'clock this morning, but the

HOW CLERKS Will HOLD Jobs

Washington, May 20.-President McKin-
ley has under consideration a ppoposi-
ton to waive the civil service in max
ing appointments of substitutes to fill
vacancies by clerks who go to the front.
Instead of drawing upon the eligible list
Of the civil service, member of the
clerks family will be appointed temporar-
lily TO fill his position. There are many
persons in the departments who would
join the army If ID were not for the fact
that their families are dependent upon
them for support. and it is TO cover such
cases that the proposed suspension Of the
rules will probably be made. In no event.
however will anyone except . member Of
the clerks family be appointedFunless they
are on the eligible list of the civil service

VIEWS OF JUNTA MEN

washington, May 20.-While the reports
from Madrid that the Spanish squadron
is at Santiago de Cuba were received
with some misgiving, the officials Of the
Cuban delegation here consider the re-
ports accurate. as they bear out what
these officials pointed out when the Span
ish fleet first reached Martinique, as to
the probable course the Spanish admiral
would take Well acquainted with the
Cuban coasts, its facilities for landing,
etc, Secretary Quesada said at the outset
that Admiral Cervera would seek TO elude
the American feet and by a circuitous
route would make for Santiago.
This, Mr.. Quessda pointed out, was
the natural move by which the Spanish
admiral would escape a battle, and would
be most secure in making landing on
Cuban soil. The present reports appear
ed to bear out this theory.
Mr. Quesada said today that the Span
ish admiral would find himself seriously
handicapped at Santiago. 1t will be use
less for him to attempt to land provis-
ions and supplies to succor Blanco at
Havana, az there is no railroad communi-
cation between Santiago and Havana.
and an overland trip would take six
weeks or two months. Besides. Mr.. Que
sada says, the Cuban troops overrun the
eastern end OF the island surrounding
Santiago and It would be impossible for
Spanish supplies to be carried overland
through a country full of Cuban bands.
Their are said to be about 5000 Cuban
troops in the immediate neighborhood of
Santiago, but reports recently brought
to the Cuban officials here show that they
lack ammunition sufficient for an effect
i've assault on Santiago. If the Spanish
fleet is at Santiago. Mr.. Quesada says,
about all it can accomplish is to secure
base of operations in a fairly we'll for
titled harbor and also to lay in coal from
Golfers which are understood to have
preceded the feet there.

MORE PAYMASIERS

Washington, May 20.-Paymaster Gen.
era1 Stanton has recommended to Secre-
tary Alger the appointment Of eighteen
additional paymasters for the regular

thinks is necessary. He suggested that
The appointments be classified as follows:
Two colonies as assistant paymasters
general; six lieutenant colonies as deputy
paymasters general. and ten majors as
paymasters. Secretary Alger Is expected
to communicate with congress on the
subject, as legislation is necessary before
the increase can be authorized. Twenty
three Of the paymasters of the volunteer
army out of fifty authorized by law have
been appointed.
General Stanton has also submitted es-
Inmates aggregatng $40, 600, 900 for the pay
OF the regular and volunteer army for the
six months beginning July 1, and ending
December 81 on the basis of the number
Of volunteers already called for and the
