Assistant Comptroller of tho Treasury
Renders . Decision Concerning Al
lowancea for Soldiers.

Chicago. Sept. 27.-A Daily News
Washington special says: Assistant
Comptroller of the Treasury Mitchell
has rendered an important decision, at
the request of the secretary of the
treasury, that will facilitate the mus
tering out of the volunteers and the
settling their claims The assistant
comptroller holds that soldiers are en-
titled to travel pay from the place of
discharge to the, place of enlistment
and also if the soldier is discharged
on furlough, except in cases where the
distance is greater than the distance
from where the soldier was encamped
to the point of enlistment In that case
he is entitled to travel pay only from
the point where his regiment was
stationed to the place of enlistment
Another matter settled bv the decision
is that officers and soldiers discharged
at their own request are not entitled
to travel pay, but where an officer or
soldier resigns or is discharged on &C.
count of sickness or wounds, then he
is entitled to travel allowance, and
such discharge or resignation is not
regarded as having been made for the
convenience of the soldier. It is also
held that discharge or resignation
takes place only from the date on
which the officer or soldier receives
official notice that it has been &C
copied. When an officer or soldier is
discharged he is entitled to travel
allowance and not mileage and officers
on waiting orders are entitled to full
paw,

GOMEZ APPEALS FOR AID.
Says Cuban Soldiers Are on the Point Of
observation-disclosures Dying by
Dozens Every Day.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Telegrams
have been received at the Cuban le-
cation at Washington from commits
sioners who have arrived at Key West,
Fla, and who are sent to this country
by Gen. Gomez, the Cuban insur-
gent leader. These kilograms depict
the situation in the province of Santa
Clara as most critical. The Cuban
army is starving for over two weeks.
and the soldiers have been unable to
get any meat The vegetables are al
most gone, and the last mules and
horses have been killed to feed the
sick. The children and old people are
dying by dozens every day. Gen. Co.
mez appeals for aid and says his men
are desperate, as the Spanish are do
ing all they possibly can to make the
insurgents situation more terrible.
Serious results may arise from this,
and. he says, the Cubans cannot be
blamed if they are forced to take with
their arms the necessaries of life. This
they can do by capturing town, but
the Cubans have pledged themselves
not to violate the armistice and they
therefore appeal to the United States
in order to avoid any conflict.

Sale Ravens. Wyoming's sleeping wom-

lain for 100 consecutive days and
nights; then her eyes opened wide and
looking about the room. she asked:

CORBETT-M'COY FIGHT.
The Bout Between the Two PugiIists Said
to Be Definitely and Unalter-
ably or.

New York, Sept. 81. "A dispatch to
The World from Asbury Park, N. j.,
says: The Corbett-McCoy fight is off
definitely, finally and unalterably and
the Corbett camp took up stakes,
packed their trunks and satchels,
closed their training quarters and left
Asbury Park tonight for good and all.
1t was Corbett's purpose to remain
here until a week before the Buffalo
fight, but, being convinced that no
fight will take place, he threw up his
hands in disgust. Corbett will not let
the grass grow under his feet. He has
assurances that either Jeffries or
Sharkey will be glad to accept any one
IF the tempting offers made by other
clubs since the Buffalo fiasco. AS to
the forfeit money he is advised that no
legal contract exists to fight on Octo-
Der Is. If match is made with JET
fries or Sharkey, Corbett says the fight
will probably take place in San Fran
cisco.

been no want of food. The last report gives
total of sick z, 500. -Four hundred typhoid and
49s malarial fever; 297 diarrhea; other dis
eases 1874 Percentage % Think return of
regiments now here would not be advisable. as
others coming would have to go through same
acclimating conditions Would advise that
certain sick be sent home whose recovery
would doubtless be quickened. If regiments
are sent to take the place Of those now here
special attention should be given to those under
good discipline and having full quota of ON
GERS BY this means men may be controlled
and sanitary precautions enforced in the small
detachments which necessarily must be made

ment to the Library Board

young woman who was suspended for ninety
days from her position at the city library
for INSTRUMENTATION, the library board held
special meeting yesterday afternoon to
listen to a second statement from her The
statement merely related to her department
at the previous meeting before which she
appeared, being an explanation that at this
previous meeting she had not intended to
be !mpertinent, but had tried not to be ex-
cited or nervous, and was therefore very
deliberate.

Of the board, and Miss Thornburg will have
to wait the allotted ninety days before re-
Stunning her duties.
The library reading room will be open on
Monday from o'clock in the afternoon

WON'T TRUST HIM
Contractors will Not Accept Assess
ments on Ballerino Property

One of the matters to come up before the
finance committee Of the city council yes
terday was the assessment on the Bale
rlno property at the corner of Pico AMI
Hoover streets, where Hoover has been
opened from Pico street to Tenth. B. Bale
rino, very wealthy man, who owns large
tract of land In the vicinity, has opposed the
Improvement from the start, and in fact
seems to have acquired such q reputation
for opposing improvements that the con-
tractors are afraid to risk their pay for the
work by accepting his assessments.
The finance committee does not want the
city to stand the brunt of the expense, and
so will recommend that the street superin-
tendent continue to offer the assessments
from day to day for ten days, and If no pur-
chaser is found council will then have to
take steps to abandon the proceedings.
In the other matters that came before the
committee at their meeting yesterday the
following recomm endations will be made:
In the matter of the petition from Matte
Needham for rebate Of $3.50 by reason of
double assessment for improvements upon
lot 10, Logan tract. for the year 1898, We
recommend that the same be granted
In the matter of the petition from S. ].
Wyl;e for rebate of "a by reason of assess
ment of improvements on lot "a. block 4,
Electric Railway Homestead Association
tract, for 1S97-98. when no improvements ex-
list upon said lot. we recommend that the
same be granted.
We recommend that the petition from
G. F. Schwab for rebate of 81 by reason of
erroneous assessment against lot 81, block S,
Highland tract. addition No. l, be granted.
In the matter of the petition from o. A.
Ivers for rebate of $10.65 by reason of as
sessment against lot -, ass feet on west side
of Hoover street, for the year 1S97-9S, we
recommend that the same be granted.
In the matter of the petition from F.
Besseo, asking for rebate of 81 cents the
amount paid by him for penalties on de-
linquent taxes, 1t appearing that said PEN
alties accrued by reason of erroneous as
sessment, we recommend that the same be
granted
