Printing Office.
How They Stand at Present - States
Ahead and States De-
hind.

On June L., 1898, the President amended
civil service rule VIII by directing that
hereafter all certifications to positions of
clerical nature and all positions of the
recognized mechanical trades in the gov
ernment printing Office be apportioned
among the several states, territories and
the District of Columbia as nearly as pos
sible.
The positions included in this order num-
Der about one-half of the force of the gov
ernment printing office
In order to carry out this order an elabo-
rately tabulated statement has been made
showing the state from which every en-
ploye of the government printing office is
accredited, reference to which will show
readily whether a state Is below or above
this apportionment. This statement was
made by Mr.. o. J. Ricketts,, private secre-
tary to the public printer.
The following table shows the number Of
employees Of the classes designated by the
President credited to the several states
and territories, together with the number
to which these states and territories are
entitled under an apportionment based on
the last census, and supposing there are
1000 appointments to be divided among
them.

thing official had been received as to
Spain's accordance Of peace terms. Each
sta ted nelIivocally that the President was
without word from any official source in
forming him of Spair's agreement to the
propositions of this country. Judging from
the positive newspaper dispatches, how
ever, the President was expecting news,
hey said. One o. the cabinet officers
thought no comm unication would be made

to come to a decision. They recognize that
conditions in Spain are critical and that
shrewd manipulation is necessary to adjust
everything TO an acceptance of American

provide that her troops in Porto Rico leave

the terms be promptly carried out. Then

sons Of troops.

THE GUATEMALAN REVOLT,
Foreign Residents Made to Pay by
the Insurgents.

Advices received from Cocos, Guatemala,
show that the revolutionary movement
there has assumed a phase which, while
not jeopardizing the existing government
promises to involve foreign residents in
great difficulty. The insurgents, under
Morales, are believed to have received con-
siderable support from the Mexicans on the
frontier, who, at least, are said to be
chargeable with falling to observe neutral
ity. Some of the foreign residents have al
ready suffered heavy exactions of money
under forced levies by the insurgents. and
1t may be that strong representations on
the subject will be required by our own
government.
