two years experimenting a plantation

temper OF the natives am convinced
that the Americans will, by superior
force, overwhelm the populous centers

able to kill dozens of Spanish soldiers

II visited the insurgent camp in the
middle OF February and talked with
Aguinaldo, having met him in connec-
tion with the Spanish rebellion months
previously. He was heartily tired OF
war with the Americans and was dis
posed to make peace. but assured me
that II necessary he could fight for
long time. Even with the close guard
Dewey put on him steamers were
bringing him arms and supplies from
China all the time to ports on out-of-
the-way islands. and from thence they
are distributed. The heart OF the mat
ter Is Just this: The great majority OF
the natives are savages, who. smarting

up the warfare for years. They con-
slider the Spaniards had no right. after
they were driven out, to sell the coun-

Rusl, for Pensions

The pension office is being almost
overwhelmed with applications for
pensions now being filed by soldiers
who served in the war with Spain. The
demand is beyond all expectations. The
regiment which has achieved the dis
tinction Of having the largest number
OF applications for pensions thus far
Is the Thirty-fourth Michigan. The
number of pension applications so far
received from this regiment is $50. or
over one-fourth of the enlisted
strength Of the regiment. The second
place belongs to the District of Column
bia regiment. which has in $50 appli-
cations. Then follow the Thirty-third
Michigan, the Eighth Ohio. the "Presi-
dents Own" as 1t is called, and the
Second Massachusetts,. The number OF
pension applications from the Second
Massachusetts, which Ia the fifth on
the list, is 317. Seventeen officers OF
the staff of the District OF Columbia
regiment are among the applicants for
pensions.
OF all the regiments mentioned the
only two which were under fire were
the Second Massachusetts and the
Thirty-fourth Michigan. The Second
Massachusetts, had a number killed.
and the Thirty-fourth Michigan had
four men killed at Aguadore bridge.
and probably a dozen wounded. The
principal cause upon which pensions
are asked Is malaria.

there were number of regiments
which had served all through the civil
war which did not have. all told, 10c

pension once that the pension attor-
neys are largely responsible for the
large number Of pension applications
which have been made.

presence of President Mckinley and mis-
cabinet, and a multitude OF people. the
bodies of the 1886 dead heroes who gave
their lives for their country In Cuba or
Porto Rico during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. were consigned to their last
resting place in Arlington cemetery,

OF the honored dead soldiers and OFF,
GERS OF the civil war. The bodies OF
the Spanish war dead were brought

navy yard, and the entire national
guard OF the District OF Columbia. Col.
Francis +. Guenther, OF the Fourth

and charge of the military ceremonies
The day was perfect. The sun blazed
from n cloudless sky and the scene In
the historic cemetery overlooking the
Potomac river and the white walls OF
the nations capital was profoundly I'm
pressive. The site selected fer the m
terment is one OF the most beautiful
in the cemetery. II is in direct line
about one-half mile south OF the old
Lee mansion on the top OF the slope
toward the river. Here in parallel
lines were the newly made graves with
the flag-draped caskets containing the
bodies Of the dead soldiers at their
sides.
About the graves were formed the
military In imposing array while in a
group stood the president. the men,
bers OF his cabinet, and other distin-
guished functionaries of the govern
ment. Back and around these was the
vast concourse OF people, while all
about through the trees lowered gllt-
tering shafts and monuments reared to
the memory of the distinguished dead
of previous wars. The customary vol
leys were fired. taps were sounded, and
military dirges were played by the
bands. The religious services were
very simple. There were no addresses
or eulogies. The committal service OF
the Episcopal church was read by Port
Chaplain Freeland. OF Fort Monroe,
and in order that the soldiers who died
as Catholics might be buried in conse-
Grated ground, at the request OF Cardi-

What Financial Review Saws.

The last number of the Financial Re-
view contained the following;
While the dreadful accident on the
Lackawanna railroad at Paterson is
greatly to be deplored, there seems, III
our opinion, no ground for the strict
ures that have been leveled at the
company. AS is well known, the Lack
awanna is one of the best equipped
roads as far as safety and comfort are
concerned in the country, while its
management is every detail is under
the control of men whose experience
and vigilance have gained for them
wide reputation. The investigation in
to the event was one that could not be
fureseen.
That the engineer of the train which
ran into the express committed a griev-
Gus error in not obeying the strict rule
of the company in slackening speed ;
he approached the station is manifest,
and had he not thus violated a regula-
tion that is as imperative upon en-
ployes as it is necessary, the collision
would not have happened. The officials
Of the company deserve Commendation

and care of the passengers and to the
solicitations and inquiries of their anX-
Ions friends. Their open policy of Civ

lately decided upon, went into efteC.
yesterday morning, just one minute
after midnight. The changes as regards
first class trains are few, but impor-
tant.
There is to be a new flyer called the
"theater train" which will leave the
New York side at 1l45 p. m. and Ho-
boken at 1901. This will make the
run to this city in just four hours.
The accommodation train leaving this
city at p. m. will hereafter run
through to Nicholson. The train which
has heretofore left on the Bloomsbury
branch at $40 p. m. will in futule
leave at 6.1O y. m, to make better
connections with the incoming New
York train.
An order was posted on the board on
Saturday requiring that every brake
man come and sign a receipt for copy
of the new time table before allowing
his train to depart after yesterday. A
notice was also posted in regard to

THE COUNTY ASSESSMENT
Instructions That Have Been Issued
by the Commissioners to Asses
sors with Reference to 1t.

The county commissioners during the
week have been issuing to the asses
sors of the county the books and pa
pers required in making up the county
assessment, which each year becomes
more complicated and difficult.
Besides the regulation tax assess
ment the assessors now make a regis
tration of those capable of doing ser-
vice as soldiers, of those of an age TO
attend school and of the owners Of
bicycles.
A portion of the instructions issued
to assessors with reference to making
the general assessment are as follows:
The importance of making a complete
and correct assessment of Lackawanna
county at the present time is evident
to all, and to secure this and aid you in
your work we send these instructions
with our precept.
We call your attention first to your
oath of office, which requires you to
faithfully perform your duties, neglect
| ing or sighting none; an equitable as
| sessment levied upon all will cause tho
| burden of taxation to be much less felt
than would otherwise be the case.
The preCept calls for an assessment
| at fun valuation. For county purposes
| We think that this would give us more
| than the amount necessary on which to
| levy taxes, and therefore instruct you
when copying into the book to be re-
| turned to this office, that you enter the
value of real estate and personal prop
erty at one-half of full valuation. But
for state purposes enter full valuation.
| We append list of occupations and
| valuations to be assessed against the
same.
| Any person having a trade not men
| toned in the list must be assessed at a
| valuation the same as that of another
similar occupation. Where a person has
no trade, but is dependent on his labor
for support, he will be assessed as a la
| borer and rated $50.
All men above the age of 81 years, II
residents must be assessed with some
| occupation.
List Of trades and occupations, with
! valuation of the same:
