Twelve artillery- | men were sentenced to short terms for as- sisting bim. There have been eighty convictione of sergeants for abuse of privates during the last three months, and sbout 200 courts- martial are pending. The administration of the army is mak- ing the most determined efforts to stop these brutalities, which Herr Babel, the socialist Jeader detalled in a ferocious three hours’ speech in the Reichstag in the | spring. The weak reply of General Gossler | cost him his place as minister of war. It has long been the theory of military men that a little rough treatment was good for privates and cultivated manhood in | them. The emperor never shared these views nor countenanced the cruelties prac- ticed in nearly every regiment. He issued an order most absolutely for- | bidding the fli-treatment of privates and ordering the prosecution and severe pun- ishment of those guilty of such ill-trest- ment.

The annual report of Commissioner Ware | places the total number of pensioners now | on the rolls at 996,64, of which 7%.356 are soldiers and 26718 are widows and de- pendents. Mr. Ware announces that it is not probable that the pension roll will again cross the million line, the high water mark having been reached a Year ago. Five of the pensioners are on the roll on account of the war of the revolution, 1,116 on sccount of the war of 1812, 4784 on sccount of the Indian wars and 1884 on mccount of the Mexioan war. The avcrage annuel value of each pension is now $13. The total annual value of the Spunish war pension rollc has reached £.,765,310. Commissioner Ware makes the Tollowing recommendations: Laws forfelling the pension or right to pension of any man convicted in court of an infamous crime; prohibiting the giving of pensions to women who marry soldiers after the sol- dlers become old pensivners; a different method of examining applicants for pen: sions, Mr. Ware stamping the present sys. tem as uncertain, unsatisfactory and oc- casioning an enormous amount of political friction.
