GREATLY MAGNIFIED.
Stories of Battles Between Mexicans
and Indians.

MERIDA, Yucatan, March 15.-Many
exaggerated accounts of battles with
the rebel Indians have been telegraphed
abroad. Movements of federal troops
have been magnified into offensive ad-
vances, when usually they have been
mere transfers of troops or taking pos
sessions of new military posts. The In
dians are really far from being united
in body, and are not in position to of
fer any serious opposition to the federal
troops in the Indian districts. They
have not been able to SOW any grain
or do any planting this year, and prob
ably before long they will be in need
of the necessities of life.
1t is quite easy to understand why the
Indians get the worst of it whenever
they encounter the federal troops The
latter are armed with the best modern
firearms, while the favorite weapon of
the former is still the machete, with
which they do not get near enough to
the federal troops to make use Of
1t is well known that many Mayas
have deserted the villages In the neigh
borhood of Santa Cruz and fed to the
mountains. 1t is this portion of the
Indians which have stood out against
the proposition of peace. Many of these
fugitives have taken to the hills where
it is very difficult to follow them.

Mysterious Inquiries Making I'm MIL
wauke and Minneapolis.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 15.-As n
result of an investigation for several
months past by employees in the federal
government secret service many pension
ers receiving allowances through the Mil
waulee pension Office will be unceremon-
iously cut off when the time arrives to
make the next quarterly payments.
Most of the cases under suspicion are
those Of widows but it is not because
they have remarked that they are placed
at odds with the United States authori-
ties. They have, however, committed
acts which, under the United States laws,
are declared sufficient to cut them off
The investigation is pursued with much
secrecy, and 1t is impossible to learn any
particulars. Similar conditions are said
to exist in Minneapolis

MIR. GALLINGER LOSES TEMPER
ACCUSES MIR. PENROSE OF HAVING
sTRAYED FROM THE TRUTH
IN HIS STATEMENTS
EXCITEMENT IN GALLERIES
Senator'S AstOunded at the Unex-
pected Breach OF Etiquette
MIR. PenrOse's RetOrt Was
Equally Vehement.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-'I assert
most emphatically that when the senator
says I told him l should not speak on
this subject, he does not state the
truth"
This was the sensational retort made In
the senate today by Mr.. Gallinger (Rep.,
n. H, to a statement just made by Mr..
Penrose (Rep., Pa Senators were as
founded and the auditors in the galleries
Quivered with excitement.
There had scarcely been the slightest
intimation that the debate would take
such a turn. For nearly three hours the
senate had had under discussion the bill
appropriating s2,O95, 900 for the benefit of
the people of Porto Rico. Mr.. Fair
banks, of Indiana, had just concluded
some remarks on the measure and sug-
gested that the senate proceed to the
consideration of executive business.
Pending a motion to that effect, Mr.. Pen
rose, who has charge of the case of for
mer Senator Quay, suggested that a
time be fixed for a vote on the case. III
the course of his remarks he intimated
that certain senators were throwing OBJ
stcles in the way of a vote, and indicated
that Mr. Galiinger was one of those sen>
ators
Mr. Gallinger quietly replied that he
desired to be heard on the question, but
had not had an opportunity to speak.
TO this statement Mr.. Penrose retorted
that the New Hampshire senator had as
sured him that he did not expect to
speak on the Quay case.
WARM REJOINDER.
Instantly Mr.. Ganlnger was on his feet,
with evident feeling, and with great
vehemence replied as above quoted.
Il don't know whether do not speak
the truth" hotly replied Mr.. Penrose, "or
whether the senator from New Hamp-
shire failed to tell me the truth
Mr.. Gallinger retorted that the whole
proceeding of Mr.. Penrose was unmanly
and beneath his notice.
The proposition to fix a time for vote
was postponed until tomorrow, but 1t
was some time before the excitement sub
sided.
The debate on the appropriation bill
developed a decided difference of opin-
lon, as Mr.. Jones Dem, Ark), offered
as a substitute for the measure a bill
to return the duties to those who had
free trade between the United States and
Porto Rico.
The bill had not been disposed Of when
the Quay case was called up.
Mr.. Wellington (Rep., Md, presented
an elaborate argument against the seat
Ing of Mr.. Quay, and the remainder of
the session was consumed in a running
discussion of the constitutional questions
Involved.

LONDON. March 16.-The Standard has
the following dispatch from BIoemfon-
tein, dated Thursday, March 49,
The civil authorities have definitely
made up their minds to surrender on
Monday. A stormy meeting was held,
presided over by Mr. Steyn, whom Mr..
Frazer denounced as coward, charging
him with want of enough moral cour-
age to accept the situation. The late
president was, however, not to be per-
suaded, and when the meeting broke up
he left for the North.
The occupation was extremely orderly
and well managed. The spectacle was
most impressive when the Sixth division
marched through in grand style, notwith-
standing that. like the rest of the army.
1t had covered forty miles in twenty-sev-
en- hours.
Large numbers of the burghers are
