PENSIONERS.
Aggregate Over a Million and
Forty Thousand.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-In the
forthcoming annual report of the Com
missioner of Pensions, H. Clay Evans,
it will be shown that on June ~, 1881,
there were on the rolls of the Pension
Bureau 976,014 pensioners. To this
must be added 6,S52 original claims
granted, but not recorded, and 49, res
torations, which were not entered at
the time on the books.
Commissioner Evans granted 63,64s
original claims during the past year
and restored 4,0S5 pensioners to the
benefits of pensions. The pensioners
now aggregate 1,040,356.
More pensions were- granted last year
than any time from 1869 up to 1880.
There is absolutely no means of even
aproximating what the claims viii be
under the recent war. The Pension Of
flee has done nothing with the claims
that have been filed up to this time.
They do not aggregate a hundred, ana
for the most part are claims of widows
and the next of kin of the soldier boys
who fell before Santiago. Before a
claim can be perfected it must contain
the full record Of the soldiers service
and this information has not yet been
compiled by the War Department
When this is done the claims will be
speedily taken up.

SPAIN, FRANCE AND RUSSIA.
Asserted That They Have Formed a
Treaty Of Alliance.

LONDON, Aug. 23-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says:
One paper here declares boldly on
the authority Of an anonymous French
diplomatist, that, owing to NJ. Hano-
taux's exertions, a treaty Of alliance
has been signed between Spain, France
and Russia, with the object of counter
acting the Anglo-German influence in
Morocco Other papers mention this
matter but without affirming that the
treaty has been actually signed.
The idea. of a permanent rapprOach-
ment between France and Spain is
certainly in the air, and may in time
assume considerable practical import
ance. It had it's origin in Frances role
in the peace negotiations and reports of
friction with England over Spain's mil
itary activity in the neighborhood of
Gibraltar.
Many patriotic Spaniards, who ap-
prehend further sacrifices during the
forthcoming peace negotiations, regard
the suggestion of a French alliance
with much favor, especially as France
would be. very useful also in the great
work of financial and economic organ
ization which Spain must undertake di-
rectly peace is concluded.
At the same time it must be noted
that the protocol signed under French
auspices has produced deal of popular
dissatisfaction, because while making
the loss Of the Antilles irrevocable it
may also result in the loss of the Phil
ippines.
1t remains to be seen whether France
will render effective assistance.

provided in the last naval appropriation
Act. These destroyers and torpedo

within eighteen months, and the tor

cording to the requirements of the de-
partment, the destroyers are to have a

rapid-firing guns. There will be mount
| ed on deck three fifteen-foot torpedo
tubes with torpedoes.
Representatives of all the great ship
building firms were present when the
| bids were opened. The bids, plans,
etc., were piled several feet high, and
there appears to be much delay and
confusion. Some of the department of
ficials thought it would take two weeks
to get the bids fully tabled, as they
took a wider range, owing to the de-
partment's call for two classes OF
propositions, one based strictly on the
department. plans and Spec1ncatlonS,
and others based on the individual
ideas Of the builders. all essential re-
quirements being followed

Sacrifices Her Life in an Attempt
to Save Her Children.
A Young Wife Burned to Death at Hel
Home Near FarmIngtsn.
Her Six-Months.Old Babe Also
Frightfully Burned, Most Of the
Body Being Roasted by the
Flames, the Injuries Thought to
be Fatal.

STOCKTON, Aug. 22-The story of q
woman's terrible death by fire and the
probably fatal burning of her six
months-old babe was brought to this
city to-day by the Rev. F. A. Morrow,
pastor Of the Methodist Church at
Pennington, where the funeral Of the
unfortunate wife and mother took place
yesterday.
The victim of the flames was Mrs. c.
+. Malkemaus, the young wife OF
man employed in the mines Of Tuolumne
County. With her three children, rang
ing in age from g months to 5 or 6
years, she resided in a cottage three
miles from the town of Jacksonville
and about thirty miles east of Farm
ington. Last Saturday evening at about
dusk Mrs. Malkemaus prepared tC
wash the children and set a lamp near
tub of water for a minute, and on
returning found that the little ones had
overturned the lamp from which the
blazing oil had spread over the floor.
With a scream Of terror the young
mother seized one of the children and
ran with it to the open air. Dashing
back into the house she found that the
flames had caught in the clothing of
her baby and of the eldest child, q
boy of or 8 years. She tried to ex-
tinguish the blaze with a. blanket bat
in spreading it over the children she
famed the now fierce fire against her
own clothing, which blazed up in an in
slant, completely enveloping the poor
woman.
Though burning to death, she picked
up the baby, and hugging it to her
breast ran shrieking from the house.
In the meantime a man who was at
work in the vicinity of the place hast
ened to the cottage, attracted by the
screams AS he reached the woman her
clothing dropped from her body. Her
arms sank helpless to her side and her
little child, with clothing all ablaze,
fell to the ground. The mothers last
thought was for her offspring, and as
she sank down she cried out:
Don't help me, but get my little
boy
The fire within the dwelling was MAX
ing fast headway, but the rescuer dart
ed into the house and took the boy out.
The little fellow was burned on the left
side Of the face, the burns including his
ear and nose.
Mrs Malkemaus was literally roasted,
the flesh being terribly burned over al
most her whole body, but her HE
fingered until morning, when she died.
The baby was also frightfully burned.
most of the body being roasted by ;he
flames, and it is thought the injuries
will be fatal. The house was COM
pletely destroyed, and had it not been
for the last words of the unfortunate
mother as she fell to the ground, where
she lay unconscious, the little boy
would have been burned to death n
the dwelling. Mrs. Malkemaus was
only 21 years of age.
The remains were taken to Farming
| ton, and a telegram was sent to Kew.
Mr. Morrow, who was at Pacific Grove,
asking him to return and hold the
funeral services yesterday The funeral
was one of the largest ever seen Ut
that place.

ASSAULT UPON THOMAS.
Private Scruggs to be Tried by
Court.Martial.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. %. - The
first case before the new general court
martial appointed by General Miller
was that of Private Andrew w. Scruggs
of the First Tennessee Regiment,
charged with an assault upon Dan
Thomas, a negro, with intent to kill
Second Lieutenant John w. Hausser-
mann Of the Twentieth, Kansas, who
had been assigned to defend the pris-
oner, raised the objection that the ac-
cusation was defective because it failed
to show where and when the alleged
offense was committed. Without decid-
ing the question, the court adjourned.
Charges against several other mem
bers of the Tennessee Regiment or
breaking into the house Of the Thomas
family will probably be taken up as
soon as the case Of Scruggs has Deen
disposed of.
General Miller has appointed board
of officers to assess the personal ant
property damages to the Thomas fam
ily.
