PENSION LAW REVISION
NECESSITY OF CHANGES URGED BY
COMMISSIONER EVANS.
Latter Given n Hearing by the House
COmmittee-Charges Against Ex-
aminers Denied.

WASHINGTON, Feb 3.-Commissoner
of Pensions Evans was heard to-day by
the House committee on invalid pensions
relative to pension examinations. In view
Of recent hearings of Grand Army delega-
tons and others interested in pensions. the
hearing attracted more than usual interest.
Mr.. Evans expressed the belief that the
time had come for revision of the PEN
sion laws. The two general laws had be-
come complicated by so many decisions and
constructions that he believed 1t to be es-
sential TO have a general revision In order
TO get at the real meaning of the law and
the desires of Congress toward the per-
sioners. He had therefore recommended
a commission to revise the pension laws,
and he believed such a body could do its
work and report to Congress by next
December.
Mr. Evans was asked as to charges that
had been made that some special exam
liners who investigated widows claims
asked insulting questions of these widows.
The commissioner vigorously denied these
charges. He read from the regulations of
Commissioners Black and Tanner on the
subject of inquiries. and his own instruc-
tons TO examiners TO avoid any indiscre-
ton In connection with a charge that
improper questions had been asked an aged
widow. Mr. Evans read the report Of the
examiner, denying the charge and declar-
ing there was not word OF truth In it.
The commissioner said IL was impossible
to frame any law without having some
special cases arise which might cause
difficulty He was asked why the local
medical boards told pensioners favorable
report would be made, and yet favorable
action did not follow at the bureau. The
commissioner explained that the local
boards are forbidden under the rules from
making known their findings But their
members were human. and naturally
swayed to some extent by local feeling.
Moreover, he said the law itself caused
difficulty by requiring not only the medical
diagnosis but d general estimate, con-
illusions, and these did not always agree.
Mr.. Evans spoke OF the intelligence and
ability of those in charge OF this work. AS
TO delays in appeal cases. he said, about
1900 were passed on last year. and of these
only about 300 resulted in a reversal OF the
original ruling. Some OF the delay had
been caused by the wholesale appealing of
cases on printed blanks. Mr.. Evans ex-
pressed his personal advocacy of just and
liberal pensions. He remarked also that
usually there were ten mistakes against
the government TO one against the appl-
cant. and the latter was quick 10 call at
tention 20 the mistake In his case.
There was absolutely no truth. the COM
missioner said, in the charge that Spanish
war claims were being held up. as he had
given special instructions TO advance them.
The hearing brought out much other de-
tailed information on the administration
Of pension affairs. At its conclusion the
committee unanimously adopted vote OF

BATTLE WITH YAQUIS.
General Torres Said to Have Been
Killed on Guayamas Desert.

BIsBEE. A. T., Feb. ga dispatch was
received here last night from Guayamas
conveying the news that Gen. Lorenso
Torres, commander of the Mexican forces
in the Yaqui war. had been killed In the
Bacatele mountains. The report is lacking
In detail and has not been confirmed. Ad-
vices are also received that battle was
fought between the Yaquis and Mexicans
on Jan. q, the Mexicans then being under
the command of General Torres. The fight
ing occurred on the Guayamas desert, fifty
miles east of Guayamas. The Yaquis with
drew and were not pursued. The number
engaged was two thousand on the Mexican
and three thousand on the Yaqui side. Nine
Yaquis were taken captive by the Mexi-
cans. General Torres lost eighty killed and
$50 wounded and nineteen missing, while
the Yaquis' loss is put at ninety killed and
wounded. The Yaquis still hold the mouth
of the Yaqui river and the line of steam
ers between the river and Guayamas is
not in operation. Santa Teresa, who is
with the Yaquis at that point, has her
three thousand fully equipped men.
The Guayamas desert, where General
Torres repulsed the Yaquis. is twenty-five
miles wide. its western limit being within
consists mostly of powders. There is no
sand vegetation or water and this is the
only time in the year when the desert can
be crossed with safety, owing to the fierce
heat. 1t is impossible to make progress by
horseback on it, owing to the slipperyness
of the rocks.
The Yaquis, who expected to cross the
desert before the Mexicans got a start,
and then fall upon Guayamas, were handi-
capped by their horses and did not get far
before the moon rose. The Mexicans were
on the desert before the Yaquis had gone
eight miles across it. The Mexicans made
good progress, as they had horses to
lead, coming up with the Yaquis in the
middle of the desert where the battle was
fought at o'clock in the morning of Jan
81
The Yaquis. under Tenebanto. stood their
ground, by presenting a regular front ex-
tending from bowlder to bowlder, and plac-
ing parties on the projections. The horses
We're kept in a bunch, away from the fire.
The Mexcans suffered heavily while adj
vancing on The YaQuis. ana then came a
hand-to-hand fight. in which the Mexicans
were better equipped than the Yaquis
The battle lasted three hours. The horses
of the Yaquis stampeded, but the Indians
fought on. The Yaquis worked around the
Mexicans, then withdrew and started back
toward the Bacatele mountains.
