NOLt NTEERS AND REGULARS,
Comparative Statistics Made in Filing
Pension Claims

Claims for pensions by reason of the
Span1sh-American war continue to pour
INTO the pension office. While II was to be
expected shat great many claims would
be fied, the officials of the department had
no idea that the volunteer forces would
furnish so many claimants. in fact, 1t may
be stated that large proportion of the
claims for pension come from the yolun-
teers, and while it is argued that this per-
haps is natural, in view of the large num-
Der of volunteers participating, a careful
resume of the statistics shows that the
percentage of claims and the number en-
gagged lar outnumberS a similar percentage
of regulars.
The pension bureau has gone to consid-
cradle trouble in compiling statistics along
this line. and the result furnishes perhaps
one OF the best arguments in favor of an
increased force in the regular army. To
make the statistics authentic and valuable
the department selected the battle of San
Juan, where the greatest number of casual
Ties occurred and taking the names of the diff
ferent regiments engaged located the pen
slohs that have been filed from each. The
bureau didn't have any statistics showing
the number of men engaged, but only the
regimental designations At San Juan Hill
there We're 1872 regulars killed. 1,097 wound
ed and 30 missing. Claims for pensions
from the regular army show total of
2,4o6 for invalids, 176 for widows and $50
for dependents.
In marked contrast to this is the show
ing of the volunteers. At that battle "a
volunteers We're killed, III We're wounded
and 10 were missing. Yet with this small
list of casualties a total of 3175 invalid
claims for pensions have been fled 80
claims for widows and 303 for dependents.
There were % regiments of regulars and
) regular batteries engaged in this fight, as
against regiments of volunteers.
From the District of Columbia one regi-
ment of infantry was sent with a compile
ment of 81 men. This regiment lost none
in killed, wounded or missing, yet there are
419 claims for pension pending.
The list New York, which made a rec
ord in that fight that was considerably criti-
cised, has presented 31S claims for pension.

TAKING THE PHILIPPINES
Why the Instructions to the Peace Commits
sioncrs We're Changed
The Responsibility Thrown Upon the
United States Was Paramount
to other Considerations.

1t is fully understood by the men in Con-
gress who are attacking the administration
Philippine policy that their attacks are fu-
tile and that this government is going
ahead with the establishment of stable,
permanent government for the entire group
of Islands. The resolutions of inquiry,
adroitly worded so as to suggest suspicion
of wrong doing, are designed to keep up
the controversy and if possible to disclose
some mistakes made during the course of
the military operations, to furnish basis for
attacks on the President, and are not
brought forward with any idea that the
policy can be changed.
The friends of the administration have no
fear that anything can be brought out
which will indicate an eager desire on the
part of the President to seize territory lead
ing him to acts of criminal aggression"
Communications to the Senate.
1t has been shown by confidential COM
municatiOns to the Senate, and, it is claimed,
can be fully sustained by the most careful
examination of the records, that the ad-
ministration was forced reluctantly to as
sumo the responsibility of extending the
sovereignty of the United States over the
Philippines. The instructions to the Paris
peace commission, which We're read in the
Senate in connection with Senator Davis
both the absence of a desire for territory
and the circumstances which impelled the
administration to go forward
1t is not deemed desirable for the govern
ment to make any public declaration that
the interests and perhaps the peace of this
government We're menaced by the readi-
ness of Germany TO involve itself in the
settlement of the future of the Philippines
if this government had slackened its grasp
To the least degree. nor that the friend
ship of Great Britain herself might have
been sacrificed by our so handling the Ques
ton as to leave the Philippine Islands or
any part of them in position to become an
object Of contention among the European
powers.
Our Responsibility Paramount.
That this was the situation the admins
tration was confronted with during the
peace settlement and that it was respon-
sibe for the change of instructions to the
peace commissioners which resulted in our
taking the entire group of islands instead
of confining ourselves to Luzon, is said
to have been fully disclosed in the eXecu-
tive session discussion of the matter Tues
day. 1t was shown that our responsibility
To the rest of the world and to ourselves
was paramount to any claim which the
Filpinos could have upon our sentimental
desire to consult their wishes in the matter
The report of the Philippine commission
ers recommends the extension of q civil
form of government as rapidly possible
throughout the group of islands. and 1t is
the purpose of the administration to follow
natives experience the benefits of good
government sympathy with the purposes
of this government will spread opposition

RUMORS FROM CAPE TOWN

LONDON. January 1S.-The war office
has received the following dispatch from
Gen. Roberts, dated Cape Town today:

west, at Trichards Drift Gen. Warren has
thrown a pontoon bridge over the river.

The remainder is expected by this morning

The rumors from Cape Town that Lady
smith is al1eady relieved are apparently
ahead of the facts. In any case. Field
Marshal Lord Roberts. whose report was
dispatched this morning. was not aware of
it. and his dates preclude the possibility
that the troops mentioned in his dispatch
have So soon reached the beleaguercd town.
Though there are some discrepancies in

Contracts for Printing.

Mr.. Hopkins explained that the bill. with
the exception of the forty-eighth section.
met the unanimous approval of the census
committee. This section authorizes the di-
rector of the census to contract outside
of the government printing office for print
ing the census reports.
This section of the bill is bitterly opposed
by the prilterS union of this city, which
contends that the work should be done at
the government printing office. The print
ers have secured the aid of a number of
influential Representatives in Congress in
their fight against this section. The pass
age of this section viii be strenuously op-
posed, and a number of representatives
have signified their intention to talk
against il.

SCARCITY OF EGGS.
Tee Effect Has Been to Run the Price

Since the scarcity in the egg market,
prices have jumped sharply, and are
now around the top notch. The market

Stock to pick from was limited. 1t is
estimated there were probably mo- over
a dozen cases OF eggs in al hands DUR

There is ordinarily large demand
for eggs in the local market, and when
scarcity mes it is attended with a
jump in tine price Unless supplies come
from Tennessee or some other market,
the chances are present prices will be
maintained
The reeeip's yesterday were small, and
