Assistant Secretary Webster Davis of the
Interior Department has directed the modl-

Mr-Davis has directed that the represen-

provided by law for attorneys in person.
The elimination Of the various rules and

found in his order of October 90 1897
wherein he declares that ''the certificates

DEATH OE MRS. sAGRARIO,
Sad Chapter to War History Supplied
b! Spanish Family

Mrs. Sagrario, wife of the former first
secretary of the Spanish legation Senor
Jose Felipe Sagrario, died Monday night at
her late residence, 1431 Q street from nerv-
Gus prostration, after a protracted Illness
The suffering which the war has brought
to thousands of Spanish families was never
better exemplified than in this instance. In
1894 Senior Sagrario, who had served in his
post of first secretary to the Legation in this
city for long term, was promoted to the
position of minister to one of the South
American republics. He is a cousin of Pre-
mier Sagasta, who having the power, was
anxious to help his relative and having
full confidence in his ability and thorough
acquaintance with American affairs, desired
to have him appointed to Washington The
change to South America was to make him
eligible in the direct line of promotion for
this post After Minister de Lome's recall
this project would have bean possible only
the premier knew that the stay of the lat
ter's successor would be extremely limited
and would not allow his relation to accept
the onar. At the same time diplomatic ne
EQUATIONS were broken off, mail facilities
ceased, and during this long period Senior
Sagrarios family, who remained in this city
during his absence, have been unable to
communicate at all with him, and have not
received, or course, any money for their
support.
Since peace was restored they have writ
ten to Madrid for tidings of the husband
and father. and have done everything in
their power to let him know the sad condi-
ton to which they have been reduced So
far no reply of any kind has been received
Mrs. Sagrario lived almost like recluse
She spoke no English, and few even of her
neighbors were acquainted with her. Dur
ing her illness and prior thereto the family
would have wanted for the necessities of
life had 1t not been for the leniency of the
storekeepers in the vicinity, who have
shown their willingness to await remit
tances from Senor Sagrario. As 1t was the
deprivations which the lady and her fam
iiy-whtch consists of daughter and three
scns-have endured make a heartrending
chapter.
One son, Achille, has bean a student at
the Central High School, and was very pop
ular with his associates.

report and the annoyance incident TO a
copying of said reports by attorneys
clerks, together with alleged intimidation
OF medical examiners. embraces the princi-
pal reasons urged in support of the rule.
The act of July IL, 1884, provides that the
certificates of examining surgeons shall be
open to the examination and inspection OF
the claimant or his attorney, under such
reasonable rules and regulations AZ the
Secretary of the Interior may provide"
Mr.. Davis holds it was the evident inten-
ton of the law-making power that the
claimant or his accredited attorney should
have personal knowledge OF the findings Of
the examining surgeons, and i'm denying
this privilege to the accredited representa-
uves of an attorney the spirit of the law
was violated and an injustice done 10 the
claimant. For many attorneys have conf
Dental clerks i'm their employ who are
charged with the supervision of their pen
sion business.
1t is but just. Mr.. Davis holds. TO accord
such confidential agent the same privilege
which the law gives TO his superior
when this employe agent appears with
proper authority from his employer. If
this privilege is abused the remedy is in
the hands of the commissioner OF pensions
Therefore, in future, an employe or agent
who appears with written authority from
his employer will be granted the same
privilege of examining the certificates Of
examining surgeons is provided by law
for the attorneys in person.
This can result in no hindrance to the
dispatch of public business. 1T will secure
the rights of the claimant and will relieve
this department of the consideration of a
great number of appeals wherein the in
justice of the rule, hereby modified is the
basis of contention.
As much trouble and confusion has arisen
from the failure to submit. for the ap-
proval of the Secretary of the Interior, all
orders. rulings and Instructions issued in
the bureau of pensions, il was further di-
rected that all orders. rulings or instruc-
tions affecting the rights Of claimants or
their properly accredited attorneys shall
be submitted to the Secretary of the In
terror for his information and approval
prior to their promulga ton.

THE OREGON DID 1T ALL"
Her Chaplain Says History Will Credit Capt
Clark With Annihilating the
Spanish Fleet.

CHICAGO, Aug 2.-Rev. Joseph p.
Mcintyre, chaplain of the battle-ship
Oregon during the action offSantiago,
is in Chicago on sick leave. He says
of the battle:
81 was exceedingly fortunate in my
view of the battle. The Oregon was
within three-fourths of a mile of the
enemy at time, and the Brooklyn was
the only other ship at all near. had
nothing at all to do but watch the
struggle.
TOO great praise cannot be given
the Oregon and Capt. Clark, although
there does not seem to be great haste
to admit it. The Oregon did it all
The flagship Brooklyn was the only
other ship that kept us company in
the ordeal, and as soon as a heavy shot
penetrated her bow at the water line
and filed the front bunkers with wa
| ter, Commodore Schley turned further
| out to sea to avoid repetition OF that
mishap. Her bows lowered and her
speed was much less. so that she was
not in the race near the finish when
the Cristobal Colon was beached.
Commodore Schley signalled the Ore
gon to go in closer to shore and en-
gage the enemy, knowing that oui
armor could not be penetrated. We
went in and did the fighting for the
fleet. The truth must sooner or later
be known, and history will credit
Capt. Clark and his crew with ami
hilating the Spanish armada.
Admiral Sampson, Of course, from
his position away beyong the squad
ron. was debarred from the privilege
of even witnessing the fight. He was
summoned by dispatch-boat, and re-
turned in time TO hear the artillery.
but did not reach the spot until an
hour after the hght was over.
"The Oregon in action exceeded her
trial speed, and is the only warship
afloat that ever did this. She is be-
yond question the most magnificent
fighting machine ever built, and the
Government in all likelihood will du-
plicate her for the new navy"

DEWEY WILL CRUSH HIM.
AguinaIdO Runs up Against the Wrong
Man. He Wants q Share CT Philip
pine Pie and is Eager to Have
Place at the Feast.

WAsHINGTON. d. c., Aug g.1-Our re-
lations with the Philippine insurgents
present and prospective. caused quite
as much discussion here to-day as our
relations with Spain. Interest in Agu-
inaldo was increased by the receipt of
the War Department during the day
OF dispatch from Gen. Merritt of
such a character that the officials did
not think it advisable to make it pub
lie.
All that could be learned of the con
tents Of the cablegram was that it in
formed the department Gen. Merritt
would require force of $4,000 men to
carry on operations against the Span
iards and maintain order in the region
about Manila after the city had been
surrendered by Captain General Au-
gusti.
The suppression OF the text of the
dispatch naturally led TO the conclu-
| sion that our commanders in the Phil
| ippines had given up hope of being
able to control Aguinaldo and his fol-
! lowers by moral suasiop. 1t has been
thought here for some time that the
friction between AguinaldO and the
American commanders was likely to
come to a head as soon as the latter
undertook to make a forward move
ment on Manila.
This has been regarded as probable
! because as themoment for action drew
near the insurgent chief might be eX-
pected to insist on knowing the status
he and his followers were to be given
in the sure ndered city, and might
desire to share in its government. as
did the Cuban insurgents at Santiago.
From the etemperAguinaldo has shown
since he began TO make headway
against the Spaniards about Cavite
there is little doubt he would endeavor
toshare in the honors of the surrender
of Manila and endeavor to participate
in the government of the city after il
! lldll lJdsseO lTOlI cl'dlilSu CoiliOl'
1t is certain, however, that these
pretensions of the insurgent chiei
would be ignored and resisted by Gen
Merritt and Admiral Dewey, thus
bringing on the open breach which
for some time has been feared. 1t j:
not believed Aguinaldo and his fol
lowers would accept the decision OF
the American commanders as peace
fully as did the Cubans at Santiago
Whether or not to-day's dispatch
from General Merritt reported that
the open break with Aguinaldo had
actually occurred is not known. Nc
doubt exists that such a break is eX
pected here, as well as at the Ameri
can headquarters of Cavite, as showr
by General Merritt's request for 30
000 troops in addition 10 the 10000
now assigned to his command in the
Philippines.

Away.

eImany's Iron Chancellor Passes Calmly
Away.
BERLIN, July 30.-A dispatch from
Friedrichsruhe announces the death
of Prince Bismarck, Germany's distin-
guished statesman and ex-Chancellor
He passedAeacefully away at 1920
tonight, surrounded by the immedi-
ate members of his family. He had
long been an intense sufferer, but as
the hour of his dissolution approached
he appeared to be freer from pain and
took leave composedly of those who
were privileged to be present at his
death bed.
The death of the ex-Chancellor
comes as a surprise TO all Europe
Despite the family's denials, there
was an n.nndercurrent of apprehension
wgsea she sinking OF the Prince was
finally announced, inspired more by
what the family left unsaid than any
information given. But when the
daily bulletins chronicled improve
ment in the Princes condition. de-
tailed his extensive bills of fare and
told of his devotion TO his pipe. the
public accepted DIR. Schweninger's 5
assertion when he said there was no
reason why Bismark could not reach
the age Of 80 years.
1t appears that the x-Chancellor'
death was not preeipituted by sudden
complications, but was rather the cul-
mination of chronic disease-neural-
gia of the face and Inflammation of the
veins-which kept him in constant
pain that was borne with the iron
fortitude which might have been ex-
| pected.
Two attempts have been made on
Prince Bismarck life, the first by a
lunatic named Blind, on May :, 1866,
at Berlin; the second ON July 10, 1874,
by hullmann, at kissingen.
A Bismarck Museum, containing all
sorts of objects relative to the Chan
cellor's career, has been founded at
Berlin. OF the extensive literature
on Prince Bismarck the chief original
sources in German are Poschinger' s
edition of Prince Bismarck's Frank
fort letters and dispatches; his cores
pondence, by Koppen, his political
life and labors and his Cabinet
speeches, by Hahn; his biography, by
Hezekiel, and the works of NJ. Busch,
entitled Bismarck and His People,

the right to make the most sweeping
demands.
They were ali the more confirmed
in this view by the receipt of dis
patches from Admiral Dewey today
stating that Aguinaldo has assumed
a bold attitude, and that events might
make it necessary to require a large
force to subdue the insurgents.
The cabinet members, while un-
favorable to permanent holding of
the Philippines, were unanimously
of the opinion that the United States
must at least have a permanent ma
val station in the islands. They also
held that America could not consent
to allow Spain to retain sovereignty
over the islands until fully advised
as to all the existing conditions and
until arrangements could be made
for establishment of form of govern
ment which would be satisfactory to
the people of the islands and to the
sense Of justice of the people OF the
United States.
Under certain specified conditions
it was, therefore, deemed advisable
to propose the appointment of com
missioners TO determine the future of
the Philippines and the extent to
which the United States may desire
tO evarcisp control there
Although the terms under which
the United States will consent to the
appointment of commissioners do
not definitely say what portion of
the territory of the Philippines we
desire to occupy permanently, they
are nevertheless significant in that
they do not waive any claim to the
entire group. 1t is stipulated that
the United States is to take possession
of and hold the city and bay of Man
lila and to retain them under a mill
tary government until the terms OF
peace have been agreed upon.
There is no doubt that Manila and
Manila bay are to be permanently
held as a naval station and military
base, whatever else may be done.
While this is not definitely stated
in the note, the administration will
depend upon its commissioners to car.
ry out its wishes, and until Spain con
sents to the demands of the commits
sioners in this respect the Spanish
government cannot expect to retain
sovereignty over any portion of the
Philippines.
The administration will be careful
| if our terms are accepted, to appoint
commissioners upon whom it can de
pend to carry out the wishes of the
| President. In this connection | an
told that Minister Woodford anC
former Senator Edmunds will prob
ably be two of the representatives o.
the United States. The number o
commissioners to be appointed is moi
designated. That is a matter to bt
settled after Spein has been hearC
from in reply to the demands submit
