H. CLAY EVANS REsiGNsI
Retirement to Take Place at the
Presidents Pleasure. 3 &,
MIR. Roosevelt win Not Let Hin CO
Until Some Higher Post il Avs.t-
able For Him. z

Washington, d. C.-H. Clay Evans,
commissioner of Pensions, has ten.
dered his resignation TO the President.
Ih Following letter together with
an appended statement. was made pub
lie ut the White House:
TO the President:
10 some time L have been consid-
ering the question of resigning. 1t will
soon he five years since | assumed the
duties of this office. and now have tho
honor of rendering you my resignation
rs Commissioner OF Pensions, and will
thank you 10 accept the same mt rs
early Il date rs may suit your conven-
fence.
"Thanking you for your kindly con-
Siueration, and with assurances of my
pest wishes, L am very respectfully,
II. CLAY EVANS"
The statement appended to the LET
ter Is rs follows:
Mr.. Evans, some months ago. verb
ally expressed his desire to resign. and
hnally put it in writing on March
10. The President, however, has told
MIN that he will have to remain as
commissioner, in the first place. un-
tll his successor has been determined
upon. and. in the second place. until
there is some position to tender him
which the President will regard as n
promotion. and as Il fitting reward for
his excellent services in the depnrt
ment."
Well informed persons pronounce as
ridiculous the story that the President
asked Mr. Evans to resign, and that
the request was based on report of
the Pension Committee of the Grand
Army OF the Republic. 1t Is denied
point blank that the President ever
lntimated to Mr.. Evans that he would
IKE to have his resignation. The
PRESIDENT is said to entertain n high
opinion of the Evans administration of
the Pension Office.
The President continues to hear of
new candidates for the Evans place.
III was given out that as soon as the
place is vacant the President will be
asked to fill 1t by the advancement of
j. l.. Davenport, the present Deputy
Commissioner. AT another time. when
there was talk of the early retirement
or MIR. Evans, Senator Gallinger suC-
gested to President Mckinley that he
should make Mr.. Davenport Commits
sioner. Another candidate mentioned
Is Frank l.. Campbell, Assistant Secre-
tary OF the Interior. Judge Campbell
Is n veteran of the Civil War. with
an enviable army record, and IL is said
his appointment to succeed Mr.. Evans
would be entirely satisfactory to the
Grand Army of the Republic.

SPECIAL CUBAN MESSAGE,
President Asks Legislation to Establish

Washington. ID. C.-President Roose-
welt sent Il special message TO Con
gress asking for legislation for the ap-
pointment of n Minister TO Cuba ut
salary of $4,000; first and second
Secretary of Legation ut $1,000 and
$500 respectively; Il Consul General
ut Havana at $4,000. and Consuls at
Cienfuegos and Santiago at $4,000 each.
He recommends abandoning the six
other consulates maintained in Cuba
during Spanish domination, the inter
ests represented not being large. The
message concludes:
The commercial and political condl-
tiOns i'll Cuba while under the Spanish
crown afford little basis for estimating
the local development of intercourse
with this country under the influence
of the new relations which have been
created by the achievement Of Cuban
independence, and which are TO he
broadened ana strengthened in every
proper way by conventional pacts with
the Cubans and by wise and benclicent
legislation aiming to stimulate the
commerce between the two countries
If the great task we accepted in 1898
Is TO be fittingly accomplished"

TO S|FT BRIBERY CHARGES
Committee to Investigate Purchase
Of Danish West Indies.
GREAT SENSATION IN THE HOUSE

Minority Leader Richardson Introduces
tho Charges In the Form of ~ ResoIu-
tion-Corrupt Contracts to Extent of
s5o0,ooo With Congressman and Other
Persons Alleged-The Committee
Washington. d. C.-The House with
out dissenting vote decided to inves-
ugate the charges made by Captain
Walter Christmas that. while promot-
ing the sale of the Danish West Indies
to this country. he had made corrupt
contracts to the extent of $500, 900
with members of Congress and other
persons. The charge was made in an
alleged report to the Danish Govern
ment by Captain Christmas in 1900,
and was publicly noticed in the spring
of that year.
The investigation was ordered by
the adoption of resolution offered by
the minority under Mr.. Richardson. An
House from adopting the resolution by
pointing out that Captain Christmas
was by his own confession Il ras al,
and that there was not the slightest
likelihood that there was any substance
to his charges. The Democrats, how
ever. insisted the charges ought to he
investigated, and the Republicans. as
Il matter of political strategy, were
forced to assent to the demand Mr.
Cannon wanted the matter to go over
for Il day so that the members of the
House might be better informed rs to
the alleged grounds for the investiga-
tion. but the Democrats had so much
TO say about prompt vindication of
the honor of the country that Mr..
Cannon was not able to hold his party
in line.
Messrs. DalZell Hit, Cousins. Nc
Call. Richardson. DinSmorc and Cow
herd were appointed as the Committee
of Investigation. The general feeling
is that with the appointment of the
committee the incident practically
was closed. There does not appear TO
he the slightest reason for believing
that Captain Christmas told the truth
when he said, as alleged, that lie had
contracted to pay half n million dollars
in bribeS to members of Congress and
other prominent citizens of the United
States, including managers OF news
papers and press associations.
