II a claimant, who has been pension

reason of the express provision of
section AIS, r. S. fl..1 h Il. 4
Origin IN service.-W disabil-t
ity is alleged to be due to a disease
that is reasonably chargeable to the
service, origin in the line Of duty shall
be presumed, provided there is no
evidence adverse to such origin, and
the existence Of the disease in the
service is satisfactorily shown. h
The moral turpitude of a claimant
is not an element to be considered in
determining his right to pension. The
fact that he is disabled by reason or
of injury contracted in the line of
duty is the criterion Of his pension
able status. @
Line Of Duty.-The government can
not be relieved of responsibility for
the injuries incurred by the soldier in
line Of duty while it is faithfully pur-
sued; and where a soldier in the
service incurred an injury as the acct
dental result of a scuffle, in which he
was not participant and to which he
did not contribute, he is held to have
been in the line of duty for pension
able purposes. ri 5is i !.
increase.-Where there is conflict
between the report of a board of ex-
aiming surgeons and the testimony
of claimants physician, the depart
ment will, as rule, be guided by the
former, it being presumed that the ex-
aiming surgeons are not only compe-
tent, but entirely unbiased, disinter-
ested, and free from the peculiar in
'fuences which frequently warp (per-
ihaps unconsc iously) the testimony Of
the family or attending physician.
Date Of Pension there the cause
of disability originated In the service
prior to March z, 1861, and claim for
pension is not filed within three years
from date Of discharge, under provi-
sions of section Alb, R. S., the pen
sion must begin at the date Of filing
the last evidence necessary to estab-
lish the claim. AZ III

Capt Kirton, who was sent out by the
relief committee, reports that 100000
destitute persons have been driven back
towards their homes and that terrible
scenes are being enacted along the line
of retreat. E estimates that a quarter
of million persons are likely to be
doomed at Sing Kiang alone, and that

London, Jan. 16.-Very few mes
sages and those lacking in details
have been received here from Jamaica
today to give additional Information
of the earthquake that ravaged Kings
ton Monday. Such intelligence as has
come through, however, shows the
situation as apparently more serious
than was expected from the first Of

Office in London from the governor of
the West Indian island, Sir Alexander
Swettenham, and from Samar Green

on account of the disrupted line or

colonies to official dispatches.

The devastation would appear to
have been confined to the victory of
Kingston, one dispatch giving ten
miles as the radius Of damage The
rest of the island does not seem to
have suffered severely. Estimates of
the dead range from 100 to 400, but
with the exception of Sir James
Ferguson and perhaps halls a dozen
other white men, there is no mention
of fatalities to foreigners.
American tourists who were at
Kingston at the time, are estimated at
about 1000. !.
