and Col Carter. which has been for
some time past arranging the list of

confirmation of the names.
The board was guided by the follow
ing rules in making UP the lists: San
tiago campaign, one brevet to be
awarded to each officer raised, giving
as far as possible the date of July 1,
1898, when the principal action of this
campaign took place. as the date to
be borne on the brevet commission.
Regular officers serving as volun-
teers to be breveted as volunteers;
those serving with the regulars to be
breyeted in the regular service.
The board also decides to regard Las

arate and distinct battle from the en-
gagements fought near Santiago. The
board also decided not to recommend
brevets for those officers who were
promoted to general officers of volun-
teers for services in these campaigns.

GEN. STANTON.
He RetIres on Age Requirement as Paw
master of the United States Army.

Washington Jan. 3O.-Gen. Thad-
deus H. Stanton, paymaster general of
the army, was retired at noon today,
in conformity with the age require
ments of the service.
The officers of the paymasters de-
partment in Washington presented
their retiring chief a handsome silver
loving cup as mark of their personal
regard and appreciation Of his public
service. The ceremony occurred in
Gen. Stanton's office.
Maj. George w. Baird made a brief
address, referring to Gen. Stanton's
long term of active service, extending
from the civil war through all OF the
Indian wars of the west and concluding
Spain. During all this time, Maj
Baird remarked, the paymaster gem
erals office always had been fully COM
petent in the discharge of all it's duties,
and never had been suggested as the
subject of official investigation. OF
the 66,500.000 that had been disbursed
by Gen. Stanton not single cent had
ever gone astray or been subject to
official question.
At the conclusion OF the address,
Maj. Coffin, on behalf of the officers
committee, placed the cup on Gen
Stanton's desk. The cup bore the fol-
lowing inscription: Presented to
Brig. Gen. Thaddeus Fl. Stanton. pay
master general, United States army, by
the officers of the pay department on
duty at Washington, d. c. A testi-
monial of affection and esteem. Jan.
80, 1899"
Gen. Stanton replied, thanking his
fellow -offlcers for the hearty support
they had always accorded him, and
ended by presenting to them Col.
Carey, his successor in Office.

ORDER NOT CANCELLED.
The Philadelphia Is Surely Going at Once
TO Samoa.

Washington, Jan. Sour govern
ment has not cancelled the orders to
the United States cruiser Philadelphia
to proceed from San Diego, Cal, to
Samoa, to represent the United States
interests there, so that if it is in con-
temptation to reach a Joint agreement
between the three powers interested in
Samoa not to send warships there, that
will apply to the future.
AS Germany has now one vessel at
Apia and the British government two,
no complaint is expected Of the pres
ence in that harbor of at least one
United States vessel. The Philadel-
phia was to have left San Diego yester-
day, but was detained by the non-ap-
pearance of Chief Engineer Bates, who
was ordered from the Texas at Havana
overland from New Orleans to the
Philadelphia, and who, it was sup
posed, had already reached ~ ship.
San Diego, Cal. Jan. S0.-Admiral
Kautz stated today that, unless orders
came changing present plans, the
Philadelphia would not sail for Samoa
before Friday or Saturday, and there
was still uncertainty as to whether the
flagship would go there at all.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS.
Hard Things About Their Actions in Ha-
vana Are Reported.

vana Are Reported.
Havana, Jan. 9O-There were three
cases last week of the abuse of citizens
upon the part Of American soldiers.
Upon two occasions soldiers took eat
ables from street vendors, refused
to pay for them and struck the vendors
and citizens, who took the latters' part.
Upon one occasion, two drunken SOL
diers insisted upon penetrating into a
private house, insulting the women of
the household, and only desisted upon
the approach of a patrol.
The local comment upon these Incl
dents is severe. Mistakes, owing to
Americans ignorance of the language
and also owing to the fact that many
Of the Spaniards and Cubans here do
not speak English, occur frequently
Last week a patrol stopped the dane
ing in a private house, supposing II to
be n public ball. ana insisting wrongly
that all dancing must stop at mid
night. The explanations were incom-
prehensibe; but the dancers realized
that II was a mistake, and there was
no ill-feeling. ftt

dent of the Banco Espanol, was notified
by the special commission now inves-
tigating the finances of the municipal

the consequences of contempt, the pen
atty for recalcitrancy. in the mind of
the commission, being Imprisonment

The Banco Espanol is so intimately
connected with the finances of Havana,
as creditor to the amount of 81, 500 900.
and as a farmer general of the princi-
pal sources Of the city's revenues that
the commission deems it necessary to
get a complete accounting from the
banks as TO past transactions and a
statement Of what It Is doing now with
the city's market dues.
Information has reached the commits
sion that some of the books have
strangely disappeared. The commission
considers it public necessity to inquire
as to the integrity of the mortgage.

From the Turmoil of a Bitter
Controversy.
PEACE is DECLARED
BY the Warning Factions and All Get To
gether For the New Structure-Origi-
nal Plan is At Last To Obtain.

There is at last bright hope for a
Masonic temple.
From the clouds and mists of the
controversy that has nearly disrupted
the Masonic fraternity of Worcester,
there arose last night the welcome
notes of harmony and agreement upon
the perplexing subject of new Ma
sonic temple.
With but faint hope of definite over
lures from the representatives of sew
eral of the Masonic bodies of the city,
the committee of SO met last night at
the headquarters of the association in
the Masonic building, and before the
meeting was over rejoiced at the new
prospest that had dawned for the
building of new temple.
The meeting last night was confer
ence between the committee of SO and
representatives of several of the Ma
sonic bodies in the city.
The meeting was called ostensibly
for the receipt and consideration by
the committee of 33 of plans for a
decided upon.
IA But few of the committee anticipated
8 the presentation of any new plans. In
Z this direction their surmise was COR
rect, but they were not prepared for
the overtures for peace which were
made before the meeting adjourned,
from several Of those who had for many
months been prominent by their oppo-
sition to the plans of the committee of
SO.
But the overtures were no sooner
made than they were received in true
Masonic spirit, and today, the entire
Masonic fraternity of Worcester will
rejoice in the announcement that the
representatives of the several Masonic
bodies present at last nights confer
ence with the committee of SO, are 60
ing back to their respective lodges to
recommend that the same Endorsement
and cooperation that was pledged to
the great committee at the mass meet
ings in Horticultural Hall almost two
years ago, be made again and carried
out to the fullest
The changes in the bylaws, which
were recommended by the committee
of 80 as a means for the payment Of
the building of the new temple, and
which have been rejected by several
Of the Masonic bodies, are to be pro-
posed again for adoption. If those
lodges that have already taken adverse
action upon these bylaw changes re-

of French Artisans.
London, Jan. 31.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Times says:
1.-THE Duke of Orleans received a de
putation of French artisans at Brus
sells yesterday Sunday. Comte Pom
teves Sabran, who introduced the de-
putatlon, described its members as
ever in the breach to defend the faith
erland and the army against those
bent on destroying them
"Orleans, replying in a sympathetic
speech, said the royalists felt painfully
the insults cast upon the army by a
'nameless coalition and concluded
with this declaration: / wish before
you, my friends, to make a patriotic
appeal to the good will and healthy
energies of all who are firmly resolved
on reconstituting the French father
land, promising on my own part to do
my duty and my whole duty in order
to hasten the hour of God and the
word of France
The speech was greeted with cheers
of 'Vive lie roi! 'Vive la reiner! Vive
iQ France' The duke and duchess left
shortly after for Turin"

scind this action and adopt the
changes, there is then nothing in the
way of speedy erection of the new
temple.
And this action is to be the recon-
mendation that the representatives Of
the several Masonic bodies in confer
ence with the committe of 33 are to
make to their respective lodges as
result Of last nights conference. These
delegations in conference with the com
mittee of SO have promised that all
will be done that is within their power
to secure a change of action on the
question of adopting the changes in the
bylaws by their different bodies.
Favorable action has already been TAX
en- on the bylaw changes by other Ma
sonic organizations, and as soon as all
of the organizations of the fraternity
have joined in the adoption of the pro-
posed changes, there will be nothing
in the way of the erection of the new
temple, according to the plans of the
committee of 49,
These plans, it will be remembered
call for the erection of new temple
at cost not exceeding $16500 this
amount to include the land All of the
talk about the erection of a temple to
cost $250,0O0 has been moonshine. The
new temple, ready for occupancy, as
/ built by the plans of the committee of
39, is limited to the exact figure of
$165,00O and not a cent more is likely
to be expended on it.
| The result of last nights conference
between the delegations of the several
Masonic bodies and the committee of
80, was whispered soon after the adj
I journment Of the conference, and, not
withstanding the late hour, there were
expressions of qualification from all
who heard of it. The meeting is said
to have been the most harmonious one
that has been held for nearly two
| years, and the first for many a day
where there was disposition manifest
ed to bury the Ratchet of the temple
controversy and strive for the consum-
nation of the fondest hope ever enter
tanned by the local fraternity
There will be another conference be-
tween the committee of 80 and the dele
cations from the several Masonic or
| CARNATIONS present last night The
delegations will report from their re-
spective lodges, and there is said to be
little question but what their recon-
mendatlons for the adoption of the
changes of the bylaws will be favor
ably acted upon.

SAME FATE AWAITS IT.
AgoncIIo Sends Another Communication
To Government.

Washington, Jan. 30-Senor Lopez,
ecretary to Agoncillo, the Philippine
preventative here, called at the state
partment this afternoon and left
nth the clerk another communication
addressed to the secretary of state
protesting against the attitude Of our
government toward the Filipino ire
public" The terms of the protest do
not go as far as an ultimatum. The
same fate awaits this communication
as that which befell it's predecessor-it
will be automatically ignored.
Accompanying the communication is
a long memorial addressed to the Sem
ate, containing comprehensive argu-
ment in opposition to ratification of the
treaty, and which the envoy asks the
president to send to that body. The
letter of transmittal contains more
than the mere request, but Agoncillo
feels that he is bound by courtesy to
make it public until an opportunity is
had by state department officials to
make a reply
