Pension Fraud Warning.

A recent communication, emanating

ton, D. c., is as follows. 1t is evident
that H. Clay Evans has still got his
"fighting clothes" on.
Recent investigation had by this bureau to
ascertain the methods employed by public
officials in executing pension vouchers, has
demonstrated an almost total disregard of
the laws and regulations governing the
subject. II is clearly evidenced that the IL
legal, lax, indifferent and perfunctory pro
cedure now eXtant has become a menace to
the proper and safe conduct of the affairs of
this bureau so far as it relates to- the pay.
ment of pensions, and special efforts are
contemplated to correct the existing abuses
While il is believed that many officials who
assist in the execution of pension vouchers
have no conception of their criminal liability
in the premises, it is equally certain that
many others to secure an advantage in the
numerical number of their clientage, know
ingly and wilfully resort to violations OF the
law. To the end that the former class may
profit by this notice, this circular is issued
There can be no justification in the preva

ADMIRAL CERVERA EXPLAINS.
why the Spanish Fleet Left the Harbor
of Santiago to Meet Their Doom.


New York, July c. The Herald prints
this morning this dispatch from cor
respondent with the fleet
| have Just had an Interview with
Admiral Cervera, who received me very
courteously. He said:
81 do not want to make a statement at
present, although | am deeply sensible of
the generous treatment accorded to my
self and to my men by the American
sailors, from the rear admiral down to
the officers of his fleet.
81 received orders twice from Madrid
to leave Santiago harbor and go to Hav-
ana and fully realized the difficulties
that beset my path, but the honor of the
Spanish navy demanded that the move
ment be made, and | gave the order for
my fleet to dash forth to almost certain
destruction"
Lieut.. Juan Arnar, third officer of the
cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa, dictated
the following statement:
"We started all on the chance of catch
ing the American fleet mapping and we
have lost. Our fleet has been wiped out
and SPANS naval power is suddenly
shattered. That is the situation which
Spain must face. The war cannot be
continued with any hope of success.
We have done our best, but we have
been overcome by a superior force.
"Admiral Cervera decided last We'd
nesday to leave Santiago in obedience to
| instructions received from Madrid, which
ordered him to proceed to Havana in
order to assist in the defence of that city.
The fleet accordingly coaled and provis-
ioned and the men ashore were recalled. >
The ease with which the Americans
won the fight was not due to strength of
numbers. They fought the enemy ship
for ship. Cervera had shrewdly waited
until the blockade was weakest. He
had seen the fast cruiser New Orleans
leave; the lookout reported that the
New York was down the coast and that
one of the battleships had gone to Guam.
