While members of the administration
profess to believe that the insurgents
in the Philippines are acting in accord
ance with an agreement made with Ad-
miral Dewey, it is we'll knewn that
they are mere or less worried over the
news announcing the declaration of an
independent government Of the Philip
pine insurgents. No official will say
what are to be the relations with Mer-
rift, who is to command the army sent
to the Philippines as we'll as be militia
ry governor Of the islands, with the in
surgents. 1t begins to look as though
there might be more serious trouble
in those islands than whipping the
Spaniards whs are there. The admins
traitor was certainly not expecting the
insurgents to set up an independent
government when instructions were
prepared for the military government
to be established by Gen. Merritt, t
collect tariff duties ON importati0ns Il

A WARNING
To Public Officials IN Reference t. Execution

To Public Officials IN Reference t. Execution
Of Pension yruchers
Recent Investigations had by this
bureau to ascertain the methods EN-
ployed by public officials in executing
pension vouchers, has demonstrated an
almost total disregard of the laws and
regulations governing the subject.
1t is clearly evidenced that the lille
gal, lax, Indifferent and perfunctory
procedure now exist has become
menace to the proper and safe conduct
of the affairs of this bureau, 50 far as it
reIateS 10 tho payment of pensions, and
special efforts are contemplated to cor
rect the existing abuses.
While it is believed that many Off
Gals who assist in the execution of
pension vouchers have no conception
Of their QFiHinal liability in the prem
ises, it is equally csrtGin that many
Others to secure an advantage i4 The

To the end that the former class may
profit by this notice, this circular is As

There can be no justification in the
prevalent haste and laxity existing in
many offices, by which post-dating,
false certifeatiou, false claim and
''stock" witnesses have become a fac

edgement of pension vouchers.
1t is the intention of this bureau,
whsro the facts warrant such action, to
institute crinlipel proceedings against

gal and irregular practices and they
are warned accordingly.

Although there are about thirty sena-
tors who are opposed to the adoption
of the Hawaiian annexation resolution,
which went through the house last
week by so large vote that the Gear
was compelled to keep his room, under
plea of sickness. for several days, and
which is now the unfinished bHsi-
ness" of the senate, it is not believed,
even by themselves, that they can pre-,
vent vote being reached and the reso
luton adopted by the senate. It has
been decided that the opposition should
do all the talking during the debate;
also that congress shall not be allowed
to adjourn until the resolution is voted
upon. This brings it down to a ques-
ton Of the endurance Of the opponents
Of annexation, should they decide to
Hght to the last ditch; but II is esnsid:-
cred likely that they will allow q vote
to be taken in the course Of week OF
two-ons very close observer of things
legislative is SO confident Of this that
he has wSgared the cost OF an elegant
dinner for eight gentlemen that the
vote will be taken before tho 4th Of
July. The whole power of the admin.

Although Secretary Alger has posi-
lively denied the story that owing to
quarrels between himself and Gen.
Miles, who is new in Washington, the
latter had been virtually deposSd from
the command of the army, the talk of
friction between them continues, and
even goes so far as to say that Mr..
Mckinley intends directing the msve-
ments of the army himself. The change
Of plan by which Gen. Miles is to 60 to
Porto Rico in command of the invading
army new being prepared for that expe-
dition is said to have been caused by
this disagreement, and to have been the
proposition of Gen. Miles himself, who
preferred being responsible for enc
army over which he would have abso-
lutte control to being responsible for
the movements of all our troops and
being hampered by civilian control. II
is an nounced that the invasion of Poto
Rico is to take place before the Spanish
feet alleged to have sailed from Cadiz
can get to Porto Rico. II the reported
starting Of this Spanish feet results in
hurrying things a little, it will be ar
almighty COED thing. Similar reports
in the past have resulted in hanging III
things.
