Now York, December 25.--A special
to the Press from Washington says
Pension attorneys are piling UP cases
against the government as a result OF
the war with Spain. Already 25,00U
applications have been filed on behalf
OF the soldiers of the recent war. AS
an illustration OF the thoroughness
with which the regiments have been
canvassed, 1t is said that from the
Seventy hrst New York more than 800
applications have been obtained In
the Ninth Massachusetts, there are 6oo
applications. The business of getting
new pensions has been systemati2ed.
The number Of cases filed In the name
OF soldiers who have served In the
Philippines have become so numerous
as to attract official attention. Upon
investigation, it has been discovered
that the attorneys send their agents
to the war department every day to
copy the list of casualties cabled by
General OTIS The pension attorneys
then ascertain the next of kin from the
enlistment records. Correspondence
is then opened with the soldier or his
relatives with view to obtaining au-
thority to prosecute a claim. The
authorities are preparing to issue an
order that will bar pension attorneys
hereafter from the department records.
The zeal of the attorneys, however,
will enable them to procure more

BURDEN OF THE TAXPAYERS.
Pension Attorneys Are Busily PiIing Up Thous-
ands of Claims.

clients. nevertheless. The daily dis.
patches furnish the names OF the sick,
wounded and killed.
Tho total number of enlistmen,s for
the Spanish war and the Philippines
was about $4,000. Nearly $4,000 OF
these were re-enlistments. so that the
total Of enlisted men is approximately
100000 Judging from applications al
ready filed, one soldier in every twelve
has become a pension seeker in less
than two years from the date OF the
outbreak OF war. While the show
ing is somewhat OF reflection upon
the men who are seeking government
aid already, 1t Is more an evidence of
the pernicious activity of the pension
attorneys, who stop at nothing to build
up cases from which fee may be COL
lected.
Extraordinary care was taken in
the enlistment of the second army for
the Philippines, but as nearly every
man in the tropics has been touched
with fever, hospital record is ready
as foundation for the future. This
opportunity will not be missed by the
pension attorneys A physical ex-
animation before discharge has been
started and will prevent many appll-
cations being granted, but even this
provision will not guard against Sub
sequent disability that may be traced
to exposure.
