gossip is that the body is decked in
valuable jewels and that word has
been received of conspiracy to des-
ecrate the grave for them. There is
an impression that apprehension
exists of an attempt to steal the
body and hold it for ransom, as
was done in the case of A. T. Stew
art. The cemetery Is in a lonely
place and the robbery of a grave
there would be a simple matter if
no precautions were taken Mrs

Fifty Thousand Discharged Men Ark
for Settlement OF Accounts.
Washington, d. O.. May 12-The
auditor for the war department is
deluged with claims from discharged
soldiers Fully $4,000 have already
been received here, and they are
coming in at the rate of $50 per day.
They represent the unsettled &C
counts of men who were discharged
without descriptive papers. Com
pany commanders showed no care IN
furnishing these necessary papers to
the soldiers on furIough or those
discharged, with the result that in
Vulnerable claims have been created
which the army paymasters are not
in q position to meet. It is estimate d
from the inquiries already received
here that fully so per cent of the
men who served during the war viii
present claims of one kind or anoth-
er, either for travel pay. extra duty
pay, pay for the period between the
time of enrolment and the date Of
muster in, etc, the total aggregating
q large sum which will have to be
specially appropriated by congress.
Each case has to be settled on it's
own merits, no general decision Gov
ering all claims. This makes the
work of settlement q slow and
tedious one, involving much re-
search The work is rendered the
more difficult by the incompleteness
of the records of the war depart
ment, where during the war little or
no attempt was made TO keep track
of transactions of discharges, etc.
The officers in the field were careless
in their records and needless Of the
requirements of their men. AT one
time fully 10000 men were on fur

Several hundred pension claims
are being fled as result of tAe war

revolutionary factions. McCarter got
word to the American consular agent,
who had him released
Three times within the next three
days he was again arrested, but each
time was released on demand of the
consular agent. The fifth time Nc
Carter was secretly taken to prison,
where he was chained in Il filthy
dungeon and deniei the right to
inform the United States representa-
tive where he was.
On two occasions his ankles were
wrapped together, and he was sus-
pended by the feet from beam in
his cell until unconscious. These
inhuman methods failing to extort
anything from him, he was confined
in dungeon inhabited by lepers,
left without medical attendance and
given no food other than bread and
water.
After months of this cruelty he
was released and ordered to leave
Cucuta within an hour. He made
his way down river on raft to
Venezuela, thence worked his way to
Maricabo and crossed the AIDES on
crutches. When finally he reached

New York, May 14.-Under the
wealth of hothouse flowers adorning
Mrs. William @. Whitneys grave on
hilltop overlooking the Little Neck
meadows, the freshly turned earth
is sown with powerful torpedoes.
The coffin is hemmed about with
them, and the ghoul who undertook
to strike his spade beneath the sur
face would invite swift destruction.
Nor is this the only precaution
taken by Mr.. Whitney to guard the
resting place of his dead. Night
and day two men are posted there
to watch the grave. One is detec-

They are detailed there from the

might eventually withdraw from the

lines OF the newspapers. Everyone here

not only succeeded In giving British pub-
lie ohiclaldom an unpleasant shock. but
It felt like dash OF cold water on the
ardor OF the British for an Anglc-Ameri-

tlon what was the profit OF this friend

up Great Britain's policy in the far east
by retaining the most important base of
operations in the event Of war over Chi

the late war has left the United States
entangled in the worlds policies. for one
Of the foremost arguments advanced
against Senator Foraker's suggestion
was that the United States owed it to
the world not to disturb the balance OF
power. and not to furnish possible sub
ject for war by throwing the Philippine
islands into the field to be scrambled for
by colonizing nations.

THE WEEK IN LONDON.

Copyrighted. 1898. by Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-The opening OF the
new year has been marked by most un-
seasonable weather. accompanied by
furious gales throughout the United
Kingdom. The recent mild weather
proved very unhealthy. The mortality
from respiratory affections exceeded
that OF any week since May. Seventeen
deaths were directly attributed to influ-
enza in London. in which city the death
rate is the highest for several months.
Hurricanes have seriously interrupted
communication with the continent. Do
yer harbor has been practically unusable
in consequence Of the so-eaIled Improve
meRt works. and the continental mails
have thus been badly delayed. The au-
thorites OF Folkstone tried pouring oil
on the water at the entrance 10 the
harbor. The experiment was very sue
cessful and the mail boats were able to
approach with the greatest ease.
