Spanish War Extra Pay Claims.


Shortly after the Spanish war Congress
passed bill which provides two months ex-
ira pay for all soldiers who served honor
ably beyond the limits of the United
States and who were mustered out with
their regiment When this law was enact
ed 1t was taken for granted that 1t applied
to all soldiers who served the United
States honestly and faithfully in Cuba,
Porto Rica, Guam. Hawaiian Islands, Phil
ippine Islands and in the Boxer uprising
in China. Now that Congress intended to
give this small allowance to all Of US who
served in these countries it seems is ap-
parent, but all Of us have not received
this intended allowance Their are MANY
who took part in the campaigns In the
countries mentioned, and who through
sickness or other causes over which they
had no control were not present with their
regiments at the time Of muster out
These men have not, so far as am able
to learn, received the two months pay
1t seems that because they were not mus
tered out with their regiment they are
barred by the auditor having charge of
these claims from the allowance. 1t is to
be hoped that some of the organiza tions
Of soldiers of the Spanish war will take
throughout the United States are interest
ed in this vital question. 1t appears to
me that Congress intended to give to all
soldiers serving in foreign countries dur
ira pay allowance, and the fact Of their
serving in these campaigns, whether they
were mustered out with their respective
regiments or not, constitutes rightful
claim.
They went to those far-away countries
for duty, and if they were incapacitated
through sickness other causes they
should not be barred. 1 made application
for two months pay, but did not get 1t
because / was honorably discharged before
the regiment in which I served was mus
tered out, and there are many hundred
similar cases. 1t is said the wording of
the act will have to be changed. Then let
the soldiers organizations Of the Spanish
war take the matter before Congress or
ask President Roosevelt to recommend a
change in the act, which reads, Two
months extra pay to honorably discharged
soldiers who served the United States in
the Spanish war beyond the limits Of the
United States, and who were mustered out
with their regiments" The change should
consist of emitting "and who were mus
tered out with their regiments
