HANDLED OVER 1000 CLAIMS
SWEEPING NATURE OF PoWR1S
OF CONTROLLERS OFFICE.
Spends Large Amount Of Money
Settling Picayune as Well a
Important Issues.

How the government spends a largo
amount Of money to settle picayune
claims as we'll as issues OF large import
and the sweeping nature Of the powers
vested In a single Office are demonstrated
by the daily work Of the Office Of the
controller of the treasury, which In many
governmental matters is the court of
last resort.
During the past fiscal year the control
ler's ONCE has passed upon over 2O82
appeals from the action Of the various
auditors for the executive departments
and bureaus and services. Besides that,
in numerous cases, It has advised cabinet
officers and bureau chiefs as to their
rights in making payments of money
where any doubt existed.
Where the controllers office. on re-
quest, advises q head of department or
disbursing officer az to whether payment
of money may be made. the latter Is pro-
tected in making such payment, whether
it Is legally right or wrong.
II a department head makes q pay
ment without consulting the controllers
office, and 1t is subsequently found that
there was no warrant of law for il, the
payment is promptly disallowed. Occa-
siOnally claim is presented to Congress
for reimbursing the disbursing officer
for the loss he thus personally Incurred.
Back Pay Of Veterans.
Most Of the work now being done by the
office relates to back pay OF veterans of
the civil war. When the present organi-
cation took effect In 1895 there were only
14S cases appealed from auditors passed
upon during the first year. Before that
these cases were passed upon by a first
controller and second controller. each
having a different jurisdiction.
Now. with these Jurisdictions consoli-
dated the controllers decision Is final. I'M
less appeal is made from an auditors ac-
ton within a year or unless the con-
troilers ONCE intervenes subsequent to An
auditors decision.
Probably the smallest warrant ever
passed upon involved only IL cents. The
largest probably was for the SIC, O0o, 900
paid for the Philippine Islands, follow
ing the war with Spain.
That an appropriation for the purchase
of fresh meats imported into the Philip
pines Is as liable to pay the customs tax
es on those meats, under the new tariff
law. is one of the most recent decisions
Of the controllers Office.

HUNDREDS ARE HOMELESS.
Solicitude for Flood Sufferers in
Louisiana and Mississippi.

NEW ORLEANS. September 27.-While
additional bodies of those who persisted in
last weeks hurricane along the Louisiana
and Mississippi coasts will probably be
found, concern for the living sufferers is
now paramount. Hundreds are homeless
and destitute.
A story Of romance that could not be
stopped by the floods nor the hurricane
comes from Houma. In place of the ex-
tensive trousseau which she had prepared
FOR her wedding yesterday, young wom-
an or Lessville was attired in garments
given her by the charitable women of
Houma. The groom was barefooted. all
his worldly possessions on his back. But
the wedding took place at the time plan
ned. The couple had escaped from Little
Gallon after many hardships and were
reunited in refugee camps.

MEx1CANs NEED FOOD.
Flood Sufferers Receive Supplies
But Not Enough.

While supplies for the Mexican flood
sufferers continue to reach Monterey,
much more can be used to advantage by
the relief organization. according to a
telegram received at the State Depart
ment from American Consul General
Hanna.
Food, clothing and blankets are in de-
mand. Particularly blankets for the
women. babies and old people are needed.
owing to the cold nights Mule trains
continue to supply the sufferers, with
good results, says Mr.. Hanna, but the So
cieties are without sufficient funds to
maintain this and other Transportation
methods. Mr.. Hanna says he is aiding
the Mexican Red Cross with his own
funds.

flee today announces the complete success

Amas appeared before Gen. Marina, the
commander of the Spanish forces, yester-
day, and asked terms of surrender for
the tribes intrenched on Mount Guruga
The results OF this conference are not
known, but II is believed the Moors are
ready to submit without conditions.
Maintenance Of Order.
The immediate successful termination
of Spain's war against the Moors, which
has been going on since July, would be
of inestimable advantage to the govern
ment of Premier Maura, against which
the campaign in Spain is daily becoming
more intense among the lower classes.
A large section OF the upper classes.
however. is manifesting warm support
OF the government. The minister of the
interior is being deluged with letters
begging him TO continue the work Of
maintaining public order.

dor were 'raZed and the town burned by
the Spaniards. The Moors had con-
structed deep bitches around Nador, evil
IDENTIFY with the intention of putting up a
stubborn defense. From Nador the Span
