New York, February 16.--A dispatch
TO tho Herald from Madrid says: The

F., lie mind the Arm conviction is that the

stand her ground and that in Cuba the
aulonomists would side with the United
states troops, and that il the Spaniards
would encourage the landing of
American troops in The greatest number
possible. now that The unhealthy senson
Iis coming on, 1t would kill them off like

AZ the same time the ships of war could
lombard the coast towns, which, with the
exception OF New York are considered
unprotected. the United States not having
sufficient war vessels to protect them. AT
the same time, also, great calculations
are made on the widespread ruin which
would fall upon business men In the
United States, whereas. the bourse here
would scarcely change. as Is the case

be the first step toward the solution 81

She alks Again,

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 30.-By patient
teaching the use Of the lips for ut
teraucss, DIR. Willis 3. Storer, staff
physician at the Augustana, Hos
pital, has restored the power of
speech to Maggie E. Lauf.
Three years ago Miss Lauf's ner-
vous system was shattered by a
stroke otightning. Since that time
and up to about 6 weeks ago, the
young LADY has been unable to utter
q sound.
DR.. Storer trained Miss Lauf to
use her lips as he would a mere child
and after about two weeks of lessons
the young lady suddenly partially
rsgained her speech and with con-
slant practice has now entirely re-
covered the use of it.

EVANS GIVES REASONS
Why He Wants To Publish the Roll
Of Pensioners.


Warrington, Dec. 26,-Pension
Commissioner Evans, in an inter
view, states some of his reasons for
wanting to publish the pension list.
He said:
The cry of pension frauds has be-
come so common of late that the
people do not regard it seriously
nowadays, and it il for the express
purpose of proving the fallacy OF
this charge that recommended the
publication of a complete list, show
ing each pensloner, his address, dis
ability and amount Of pension re.
ceived.
This will do more to stop this
idle chatter than anything thus de-
partment can do The list will show
why this or that man is being sup
ported BIZ the Government.
"But, best Of all, it will bring tc
light the frauds which exist. We
all know that there are frauds, but
say, without fear of contradiction,
that in no business enterprise where
SO large an amount of money is dis
bursed, are there so few mistakes
The cost OF publishing this pen
sion list may amount to 100000,
but who can estimate what it will
save the United States in unearthing
frauds The publication will stir
neighborhoods and set the gossips
to work. They will detect the
frauds ard will notify us
