the past ten years, and with the excep-

per cent.
But during the past year they adj

and December, 1899.
The cause is their growing scarcity

Washington Oct. 23.-Many inquiries have been
made recently at the Pension Office as to the status
Of claims fled for pensions by soldiers OF the Span
ish-Arnerican War Commissioner Evans said to-
day that the Bureau had not time TO respond to all
the INQUIRIES but that the claims were being
adtudicated as rapidly as possible. He added that
some Of the claims had been delayed by the diff
Guilty in obtaining the official records at
the War Department. He continued:
There have been fled $4,000 claims on account OF
the Spansh-American War up to Monday Inornlng g.
October D. Calls have been made for evidence in
80 424 of these claims. Medical examinations nave
been ordered by this Bureau in 1884 claims. The
difference between the number OF claims hled and
the number of medical examinations ordered prac-
tically represents the number OF widows and de-
pendent claims. -Four thousand two hundred and
thrty-seven OF these claims have been adjudicated
already.
When the division having charge Of these Claims
was organized all claims Of widows and claiu5 Tor
gunshot wounds and severe disabilities OF soldiers
were given the right Of way, practically making
them special and they were promptly adJudtcated
Twenty-Five clerks assigned to this work and.

treated alike, provided by law and the estab-
lshed practice.
