200 have already fled applications for
pensions. That all the others will dc
80, sooner or later, may we'll be sup
posed, in view of what has heretofore
been done in the swindling pension

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette


q
Washington, April l.
Senator Jones, chairman of the ma
tional democratic executive committee,
has improved so much that his friends
are now confident OF his recovery. Some
say the restoration OF his health Is OF
more importance to his party than any
thing else. as Presidential candidates
can be easily obtained, but it would be
very hard to fnd man as well quail
fed for this position in the party as
he is.
Senator Martin, of yirginia,is expected here
tomorrow, Sunday, evening, TO look after the
bushes some of his constituents heye with
the departments on Monday.
The agents Of the Cuban Assembly left here
this morning for Havana. by way of Florida.
They complained bitterly of the failure OF
this government to increase to SIC, OUO.OOo
the 100000 that was sent to Cuba to pay
oil the soldiers CT the nsurgent army. Iney
stated that many people III Cuba are starving
and that the American government, lnsteau
Of feeding them is building sewers ana paw
ing streets. They deprecated the sItusuon
and said the President is making great
mistake; that level-headcd Cubsns would 90
all in their power TO prevent uisoiuo'' ouu On".
grave fear was entertained as to what would
be the conduct of the lawless element when
their report is submitted. Ihey base their
demand for $1O,OOO,OOO loan on the
pronnd that the Cuban customs are being paid
into the u. 5. treasury.
Prince William county, Virginia, demo-
crat here today, says Mr.. Janney will not be a
candidate for the democratic nomination for
the legislature from that county.
well known democratic politician from
Virginia, who was here for short time today,
said the friends Of Senator Martin are in such
a large majority in his State that the address
recently issued by bis few opponents is talk
ed about more here than it is there, and that
the Virgins democrats don't care how his sue.
cossor may be elected as he and they are GER
.ain thai no matter what mode may be adopt

Of the Chemical Bank there, the par
value of which is 800, now sells at
from $4,000 to 1920, and draws in
terest ct the rate OF one hundred and
Afty per cent. That Of the First Ma

THE administration appointed Mr..

should leave America. Well, with all
the foreign born citizens OF the country
sent away, large portion of the United

SOME of the lingo newspapers are
waving "the flag" and singing the
Star SpangIed Banner at the news o.
the capture of Malolos, the late capital
city OF the Philippine Republic. But
the truth OF the matter Is that the
American troops could have entered
that city Two days before they did, as
the Filipiaos had evacuated it at thai
time and carried off every thing the'
wanted, and during the two days al
lowed them by the delay in the ad-
vance of the Americans, made good
their retreat. The truth about the war
in the Philippines will CONS out after
awhile.

THE enthusiastic love and admiration
ente. -tained by the Porto Ricans for this
country, as reported in the jingo news
papers, is suggestive OF the same condi-
ton in Hawaii, where few Amer
leans, by the aid of U. S. marines, have
obtained control of affairs, and pre-
sumo to represent all the people of those
islands. The love of home rule is a
natural feeling, and is entertained by
the Hawaiians and Porto Ricans as well

ton that they are dead in love with the
rule of their new conquercra is not
credited by people of common sense.
