THE rIFrY-sIxTH CONGRESS.
Republicans VIII Control, But by n
Reduced Majority.

Reduced Majority.
washington. Oct. 1O-The Post pre-
sents today, in a series of dispatches
from correspondents in every state of
the Union. except Maine. Vermont and
Oregon. where congressional elections
have already been held. a review of the
political situation with special ref
erence to the complexion of the next
hous of representatives. In summarize
ing its dispatches The Post says:
"While Democratic gains are thus
outlined in many states. the figures
given do not yet make it positive that
the Republicans will lose control of the
house. There is At present in the house
of representatives a Republican ma
jorty of Sc over all parties combined.
and this large majority will be difficult
to completely overcome. There is no
doubt that it will be reduced to very
small number. but the present indica-
tions do not point to its entire disap-
pearance.
1.-THE estimates made by The Post
CORRESPONDENTS show that 166 districts
in the United States will certainly be
Republican in the approaching cleo
tion-unless the unexpected happens
and IS additional districts will give the
Republicans a majority of the house.
According to The Posts advices there
are no less than 40 doubtful districts.
the large number being in a great
measure due to the caution of The
Posts correspondents in declining to
place in the certain column any dis
trict which contains an element OF
doubt. Out of this ~. however, there
are at least 90 districts in which the
chances are said to favor the Repub-

Recitation of Charges Made ut the
G.. "a X. Encampment.
Washington. Oct. 11-There has been
wide circulation given to the story
originating at the recent encampment
of the G. a. r. at Cincinnati that 1.-The
commissioner of pensions had called his
chiefs together and instructed them
to disregard totally every application
based on deafness and rheumatism in
the adjudication of claims for pen
sions." The commissioner authorizes
the following statement:
NO such instructions were given.
The present medical referee Of the bu-
reau Dr. J. F. Raub. q prminent G. y.
r. man. says there has been no change
in the adjudication of claims for deaf
ness since the present schedule of rat
ings. which was approved Dec. 4, 1891.
in accordance With the act of Aug. -.
1855. The present chief of the board of
review, Colonel F. d. Stoppenon, also
a prominent G. y. Il man, says there
has been no change in the adjudication
of claims for rheumatism since he came
to the bureau in 1869. There has prob
ably not single working day passed
since April l, 1897. that there has not
been certificates issued for both deaf
ness and rheumatism. There has been
no change in the laws. therefore no
change in the practice during the pres
ent administration"

San Juan de Porto Rico, Oct. IL
Wild rumors of depredations in the
western part of the island continue,
but there is little foundation for them,
though a certain disorderly element Is
still seeking the opportunity Of per-
sonal vengeance.
Inquiry here as to the stories, which
are of Spanish origin, shows that they
are greatly exaggerated. For instance,
there is a report in circulation OF the
killing of a German merchant at May
aguez and Of the killing of several men
at Arecibo. All this is entirely without
foundation. though the Arecibo story
probably arises from recent accident
in the vicinity, which resulted in the
killing of an American soldier.
On the order of General MAGIC, issued
last Friday. the Spanish evacuation OF
Vega Alta. Vega Baja, Toa Alta, Tou

floods. but it is proceeding now.
The American evacuation commits

course of action. At the joint session
yesterday the Americans told the
Spaniards it would be necessary to

that if they would give up the men for

pressed the mob by the most radical
and prompt action. The outbreak was
not unexpected. and the Jail was heav-

GEN. WOODS EXECUTIVE ABILITY

In Bringing Order Out of the Chaos
That Issued Upon tho Departure of
the Spnninrds.
Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 1.-The
health of the United States troops now
in the province Of Santiago has con-
slderably improved, not more than ID
per cent now being on the sick list.
Most of the cases of indisposition are
merely light malarial fevers. Yellow
fever has been practically stamped out
of the city by the systematic cleaning
process put into operation
For several weeks Major Barber, VINO
Is at the head of the street cleaning
department, has had GOO men engaged
in cartinG away the filth of generations
which is burned at one or the other
of the crematories. General Wood mas
shown wonderful executive ability In
bringing order out of the chaos that
issued upon the departure OF the Span
iards. He is without question one Of
the most popular officials in this part
of the island. In making appointments
he places no personal favorites, bus
takes the verdict of so Of the most
prominent Cubans, who are answerable
for the honesty and efficiency OF the
candidates they propose.
General Lawton is well satisfied with
the soldlerly qualities displayed by his
men since they have been here, and all
reports from other places in the prov
ince as to the behavior of the American
troops are equally satisfactory. There
has been very little drunkenness. which.
when one remembers that. as a soldier
tersely puts it, drink is cheap and
you are always thirsty" is really re-
markable.
Officers of all grades. and even en-
listed men, are receiving letters by ev-
cry mail from persons in the United
States asking for information as to the
possibilities for investment in this part
of Cuba In the early future there
ought to be numerous openings, but
at present General Wood advises In
vestors not to come If they intend their
investments to take the form OF land
purchase, as the records and archives
have been left in n shocking state by
the Spanish authorities. presumably
with the intention of making additional
difficulties for their successors.
A man with little capital would do
we'll here with small laundry, an
American bakery or small store with
good groceries. Such enterprises could
be made to pay from the very outset.
