NO REDUCTION IN PAY.
Naval officers to Receive the Same
Salary as Under Old Laws.

as Shuer ofu LH"ss
In answer te the request of Paymaster
Coihoun or the navy in the case of Lieuten-
ant H. e. Parmentaf, the assistant con-
troller of the treasury again decides that
under the navy personnel act no officer
shall receive lass pay than under the old
law. The controller says
Lieutenant Parmenter's pay under the
law prior to July l, 1899 was for shore SER
vice $1,000 per annum. being the pay of
lieutenant in the navy for that kind of SER
vice during the first five years in that
grade. Under the operation of the new law,
by which the pay of officers of the line and
of the medical and pay corps of the navy
was assimilated to chat of the army, he
would be entitled to credit of over fifteen
years service for the purpose of comput-
ing pay, as he entered the naval service
October l, 1880. This would give him the
pay of captain in the army, with whom
he corresponds in rank, as of like length of
service. The pay of a captain in the army
mot mounted) is fixed by section 1851, Re-
which is added, under section 1862, 10 per
centum for each term of five years service.
A captain in the army of fifteen years ser
vice is therefore entitled to the sum of
$3.50 per annum. Deducting from this
amount 10 per cent thereof, leaves $1,9S9,
the annual pay which Lieutenant Parmen-
ter would receive under the new law as
lieutenant in the navy for shore service, as
against 5000 per annum, the pay to which
he was entitled under the old law, when the
provisions of section 49, act of March 3,
1899, relating to the change of pay, went
into effect
But the proviso of section 10, above
quoted, prevents reduction of the pay of
any officer below what it was when, but for
such proviso, it would have been changed
by the new law, and Lieutenant Parmenter
is therefore entitled to the sum of 5000
per annum for shore service, which was
the amount he was entitled to receive for
that kind Of service under the old law on
June 30, 1889, until by length of service or
change in grade his pay under the new law
will equal or exceed the pay he was then

NO ALLIANCE AGAINST US,
Senior Aspircz Discredits Story of
South American Combine.

MANCHESTER, Mass, August 4-Senor
Aspiroz, the Mexican minister to the
United States, who is spending the sum-
mer here, was much interested in last
nights news dispatches, whic.. reported
the departure of President Roca of the Ar
gentine Republic with the minister of for
eign affairs and thirty senators, from
Buenos Ayres for Brazil. Senior Aspiroz
said he had not learned of such a move
ment.
He gave it as his opinion that there could
be no foundation, in fact, for the report
that an alliance was contemplated between
the South American republics against the
United States, and to bear him out in his
opinion referred to the movement started
by Brazil with a contribution of $2JO, 800
for the purpose of establishing a steamer
line between that country and the United
States. Nicaragua and Honduras he as
serted, intend to contract an alliance be-
tween themselves, but the ambassador
holds that to be insignificant
