CURATIVE LEGISLATION.
Twenty-three bills passed were curative
acts. They are so designated by attor
neys because they cure defects In present
laws. The most common defect, as
shown by foot notes In the compiled
statutes, is the absence of repealing
clauses. The courts have held that when
an amendatory act is passed the bill
must designate the section sought to be
amended and also repeal such section.
Some important sections In the statutes
have been declared unconstitutional, be
cause legislatures have not followed this
plan of repealing sections sought to be
amended. lawyers deem the curat've
acts among the most important passed
oy me legislature, some or tne curative
acts merely strike out words that have
been abrogated by decisions of the courts,
or correct palpable errors that occurred
in times past in the enrolling room, such
as the misspelling of a word or the substi
tution of a wrong word. The following

MacArthur has occupied the burning

The rebels south of Manila attempt
ed to rush through Brigadier General
Ovenshine's line last night. The at
tempt failed, but the rebels maintained
a fusillade of musketry on the Fourth
infantry regiment for several hours.
The demonstration was ineffectual, be
yond scaring the inhabitants of Ma
late. The outpost of the Idaho and Cali
fornia regiments beyond San Pedro
Macat were also attacked during the
night
Detaijed reports of the work of Major
General Lawton's expedition show that
harder fighting took place during the
early part of this week than earlier ac
counts indicated. In the attack upon
San Rafael the American forces were
met with a heavy fire from a large
number of rebels, who were concealed
in the jungle on all sides. It was only
the adoption of the tactic followed
in Indian fighting in the United States',
every man for himself, that saved the
division from great loss. General
Lawton, as usual, was at the head of
his line with his staff. Scott's battery
demolished a stone-fronted trench at
short range.
The insurgent leaders, Gregonio and
Pia Del pilar, who had 800 men in Bal
inag, retreated when General Lawton
approached the town. Chief of Scouts
Young, with eleven men, entered Bal
inag ahead of the army and rang the
church bells to announce that they had
possession of the city.
General Lawton, when attacking in
force outside of Balinag, saw women
and children in the rebel trenches and
sent Captain Case in advance with a
white flag to warn the insurgents to
remove the non-combatants. When
within 500 yards of the trenches two
volley's were fired at Captain Casa's
party.
Chief of Scouts Young, whose brav
ery at Balinag wafe most notable, served
as an Indian scout under Major Gen
eral O. O. Howard in his campaign id
the northwest in 1876. The work of
Young's scouts was a feature of the
expedition. On Wednesday twenty
three of them encountered a tody of
300 Filipinos beyond Balinag and drove
them until of the 150 rounds of am
munition which the scouts carried they
had only fifteen rounds left. They
were about to retire when Lieutenant
Boyd, with a troop of the Fourth cav
alry, came up with mem anu cuaseu
the enemy Into San Miguel.
There are 2,000 Spanish prisoners in
the hands of the Filipinos at San Mi
guel. They are served with five cents
worth of rice daily and are compelled
to work on the rebel defenses. Several
hundred of the Filipinos wounded are
at San Miguel.

WASHINGTON, May 6 The state
department today received a dispatch
from President Schumann of the Phil
ippine commission giving the substance
- . nnnforinra with the representa
tives of Aguinaldo and asking for fur
ther instructions. While the text of
the dispatch is not to be made public.
Secretary Hay stated that it showed a
very satisfactory condition of affairs
in the Philippines and pointed to a
settlement of the difficulties there.
The reply ot.the president to Prof.
Schurmann's cablegram, it is under
stood, stated that he was very anx
ious to have the peace negotiations
concluded at the earliest possible mo
ment and to this end he desired that
no unnecessary or numniaung conui
tions should be imposed upon the in
surgents. It is believed in administra
tion circles that as soon as Aguinaldo
is convinced of the sincerity of the
American government he will agree to
surender. He will be required, how
ever, to lay down his arms. This will
be the principal condition, and until
an agreement on this point is reached
the negotiations will not make any
progress toward a conclusion.

WASHINGTON, May 6. The poet
office department ttiday made publie
the letter of Edward AtkJnmra of Boa
ton, cm which the action of th depart
ment in seising his pamphlets was
based. Many letters asking informa
tion about tbe subject have rescued
here and today the folloWlag state
ment was given out by Postmaster
General Emory Smith: In view of ths
statement of Mr. Edward Atkinson
that he sent his pamphlets only to Ad
miral Dewey, General Otis, President
Schurman and three or four others, the
letter of Mr. Atkinson containing his
application will be of interest It is
as follows:
BOSTON. April 22. To the Secretary
of .War, Washington: Sir I desire to
send a large number of the enclosed
pamphlets on the "Cost of a Natioaal
Crime." "The Hen of War and Its
Penalties," "Criminal Aggression: by
privates in the Philippine Islaads. I
therefore desire to know whether or
not these documents can be sent di
rectly through the war department or
may be forwarded in due course of
mail. A list of regiments is desired
and if there are printed lists of offi
cers available they would serve me a
very useful purpose.
EDWARD ATKINSON.
No answer was made to this letter,
except to send an official copy to tne
postmaster general, who issued in
structions to the postmaster at Sag
Francisco to hold the pamphlets.
The spirit and design of the pamph
lets will be indicated by a few extracts.
In one of them Hr- Atkinson says:
"I will append one question to each
reader: How much increase of taxa
tion are you willing to bear and how
many of your neighbors' sons are you
ready to sacrifice by fever, malaria
and venereal disease in order to ex
tend the sovereignty of the United
States over the West Indies and the
Philippine islands?"
Again after describing what he calls
the "Hell of War and Its Penalties."
Mr. Atkinson says: "Lest others
should be entrapped into enlistment
into the regular army or volunteer
service in the tropics. It will only be
fair and honest on the part of the re
cruiting officers to be put in possessloa
of these facts."
Mr. Atkinson also says: "The way
has already become plain for the youth
of the land to avoid disease in the trop
ics by refusing to volunteer or enlist
in the army or the navy of the United
States."
Mr. Atkinson not only speaks thus
of and to the soldiers of the United
States, but he encourages the Filipinos
to insurrection when he says: "They
have the power to enter into interna
tional relations and they may yet be
recognized by others powers."
Extra Sejsioa of Ceagress
WASHINGTON, May 6. There is a
growing belief among prominent mem
bers of congress that the president will
call congress to meet in extraordinary
session this fall, probably early in
October. -The- questions- which will
come before the next congress for set
tlement, including as they do every
thing growing out of our possessions
acquired as a result of the war with
Spain, and general legislation, includ
ing that relating to currency reform,
the Nicaraguan canal, merchant, ma
rine, etc., are of such great importance
that the president is inclined to regard
it as advisable that congress should
meet earlier than the regular session
in December in order to get the work
under way. The retirement of Speaker
Reed will entail considerable delay in
the appointment of committees in the
house, as It is customary to allow a
new speaker four or five weeks to make
up his committees, and this furnishes
an additional reason why congress
should be convened before December.

as such custodian of the revenue. Is
ordered by the Berlin treaty as such
custodian to pay money on the order of
the Samoan government. The gov

has drawn an order on the custodian
of the revenue for the amount of King

and proceedings have been taken
against him by way. of petition to the
supreme court to compel payment
Osborne, it is stated, is the only one
of the British or American officials
who will have anything to do with
the German consul, Rose. Osborne,
however,has frequent conferences with
the German consul and is quite inti

New Military Pent In Alaalcs.
WASHINGTON, May 6. The gov
ernment has decided to establish a
military pest at Pyramid harbor, in
Alaska. This harbor is on Cbilkat in
let near Chllkat village. A company
of troops will be sent to this place.
ThisMtion Is regarded as very impor
tant and it is probable that an officer
of discretion will be placed in com
mand, as subjects involving our rela
tions with the British government are
likely to be considered and reported
upon by this officer. It is likely that
orders will be issued at once sending;
troops to this point
Brief Beslon of tbe Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, May 6. Three mem
bers of the cabinet. Secretaries Gage
and Alger and Attorney General
Griggs, were absent from the cabinet
meeting which was comparatively
brief. The discussion covers a variety
of topics. Secretaries Long and Wil
son have just returned from their trips,
the former to New England and the
