The Gouernor and Confederate
Pensions.

Gov. sayers, in his speech at the
reunion OF Green's Brigade at Bren.
ham on February 22d, spoke with
emphasis on the subject Of Confed-
crate pensions, declaring that but
for the Confederate widows who are
best entitled TO aid he would veto
the measure as soon as passed. He
is fully aware Of the difficulty Of
administering the law, from the
fact that there are no records, no
muster rolls, and that the limit Of
the appropriation is totally insult
ficient. He called on the veterans
present 10 see that no unworthy
names are placed on the rolls.
Already camp followers, wagon
dogs aud coffee coolers are filing
applications; always far in the rear
when there was fighting to be done,
they come boldly to the front when
pensions are to be dispensed. He
said that men who were not in the
war, the young men ofthe country,
who pay the taxes must be protect
ed from the rascality that would
grab pension money it had no RIG tn
to.
"The widows Of Confederate sol
dicrs must fret be provided for, ~
laid the Governor. "They must
be kept of the poor farms, out OF
the poor houses, and must not be
permitted to become paupers.
Next, the pension must go to those
who did the fighting. II this II
not done | shall recommend the re-
peal of the whole thing. These
utterances Of the Governor will be
fully endorsed by every Confederate
veteran worthy Of the cause. The
Governor paid a glowing tribute ia
the woman of the Confederacy, and
declared that but for their services
and aid the war corld not have
been carried on for two years.

1t is the principal city of Mindanao,
and dominates the entire southern
half of that island, which is, second
in importance only to LuZon. 1t has
population of nearly $4,000 people
and is well fortified, so that a small
garrison of troops could hold it in
definitely against native attacks. In
addition, it is naval station, where
the Spaniards used to rendezvous their
ships in the southern archipelago.

Dewey, the title to the house presented TO
the admiral by the people of this country.
IL VIII continue TO be the home of the adj
miral and Mrs. Dewey so long as he may
llVe Ii may be desirable now to say that
1t was the wish of both the admiral and
mrs. Dewey to provide for proper success
sion TO the property. The transfer of to-
day completes the transaction begun yes
terday. and is the carrying out only of the
original intention of both the admiral and
Mrs. Dewey. e. all those interested in the
matter, the method of transfer adopted
was considered the best and safest that
could have been adopted. 1t Is to be con-
sidered, naturally, that the transfer was
TO be the act of Mrs. Dewey, as well as of
the admiral. 1t was her desire that she
should release any claim she might have to
admiral. and to do this the transfer was
made through her to the admiral's son as
soon as was practicable. Through the
method adopted, no dispute ever can arise
over the disposition of the property"
