WASHINGTON , May 2. The postmaster
general has directed the postmaster at San
Francisco to take out of the malls for
Manila three pamphlets Issued by Ed\vard
Atkinson of Boston , vice president of the
Anti-Impcrlntlstlc league. This order docs
not apply to the circulation of the pam
phlets b ) mall In this countr ) , but bars their
dispatch from this countr ) toiio Thlllp-
pines , discontent and even mutiny among
the soldiers being stated by the department
to be the design of these publications.
The three pamphlets arc spuclllcally de
scribed , and In no circumstances are thuy
to bo forwarded by mall to the Philippines.
BOSTON , May 2. lion Edward Atkinson ,
vice president of the Antl-lmperlallst leaciii'
of this clt ) , was shown the Washington dis
patch stating that the postmaster general
had directed that certain paai'jhlots prepared
by Mr. Atkinson be taken 'rom the malls to
Manila. Mr. Atkinson said ho In 1 received
no direct communl atlon from Washington
about the matter. Ho explained that the
documents wcro compilations of facts and
figures taken from thu debates In the na
tional house and senate and cilllng atiin-
tlon to points overlooked In debal"
"By action of the senate , " Mr. A'klnson
continued , "thcso compilations were pub
lished as scnato documents and they
are now public documents of the United
States. Therefore , any action taken toward
keeping them out of the malls would imply
that congressional records nnd official docu
ments of the United States are unsuitable
to be sent to olllcers of the volunteer regi
ments now In Manila , whose terms of pel vice
have expired and whoso return to tills coun
tr ) Is demanded b ) olflcials of certain stales
who sa ) that the men are entitled to dis
charge. "
Sen I ( o 1) < MM'5.
Mr. Atkinson said ho had - nt copies of
these documents to Admiral Ds-vey , 1 rtst-
dent Schurm.an. Prof. Worcester. General
Otis , General Law ton , General Miller and
to the correspondent of n Now York Il
lustrated weekly.
The three pamphlets , copies of which have
been prohibited In the malls for the Phil
ippines , are those which ha\o the following
titles : "Criminal Aggression , by Whom ? "
"Tho Cost of a National Crlmo" and "Tho
Hell of War nnd Its Penalties " These , un
less something should develop to necessltnto
further action , mav bo circulated through
the malls within this country. According
to Mr. Atkinson's own statement , as re
ported , a largo number of the pamphlet's
have- been sent out.
The matlor wns brought ot the attention
of the postal officials by the War depart
ment , whose authorities were greatly exer
cised , with a suggestion that some action
be taken. It Is thought that thcro is little
possibility ot any of these publications get
ting past the San FrancJsco office , but If
a few should the military authorities In the
Philippines will promptly suppress them.
Postmaster General Emory Smith made thin
statement to the Associated Press today :
"These pamphlets nctuall ) Incite to mu
tiny nnd It would be utterly unjustifiable
to permit their circulation among the sol
diers In the Philippines Their circulation
Is a movement to Induce the soldiers to
disobey orders and In effect to embarrass
and resist the government in whoso services
they arc engaged. Their circulation except
in the malls for the Philippines , Is not
interfered with , because. In being sent to
Manila , they are destined for soldiers fight
ing our battles , but In this countr ) the
effort to Incite to mutiny could hxvo no
result Not only are they designed to In
cite to mutiny the American soldiers in
these Islands , but also to foment and encourage -
, courage Insurrection on the part of the Flll-
| plnos themselves "
DdVllKf Of AlUlllNOll.
BOSTON , May 2. In commenting on the
action of the authorities Mr Atkinson sas : I
"It is said that the dispatch of these
pamphlets from this countr ) to the Philip
pine Islands Is barred lefit they should
create discontent and oven mutiny among
the soldiers , that being stated by the de
partment to be the design of these pub
lications.
"There are two pamphlets enl ) The first
edition of the first , printed In November ,
was dedicated to President McKlnley , In sup
port of his statement that 'forcible annexa
tion would bo criminal aggression ' The
facts and figures given In the pamphlet
were made the frequent subject of debate
In the house of representatives ind the sen
ate during the session and the pamphlet as
a whole was finally printed by order of
the senate as Senate Document No C2
"The second pamphlet wi's Issued late In
February , when It appeared tint acts ot
criminal aggression were being committed
In the Philippine Islands In that pamphlet
certain facts and statements were submitted
to the attention of the scnato and wcro
the subject of debate , and that pamphlet
again , by order of the senate , was printed
ns a senate document. I have a copy of No.
G2 and have Bent for a cop ) of the latter.
"Thcso pamphlets were , on April 21 nnd
23 , addressed b ) mo to Admiral Dewey ,
President Schurman , Prof Worcester , Gen
eral Otis , General Lawton , General Miller
and the correspondent of a New York Illus
trated weekly In Manila None others have ,
to m ) knowledge , been sent to nnjonu else
I desired to send them to other officers and
for that purpos-o notified the War department
of my Intention and asked for a list that
would give mo the names If It Is unlawful
for n cltl/en of Iho United States to com
municate with other citizens In Manila by
sending them documents In a private edi
tion which have been printed by order of
the United States senate as public documents
I am content to leave the matter nt that
exact point , which requires no comment
from me
"I would , however , call the attention of
the postmaster general * u Iho necessity of
requiring that all newspapers lately printed
hero and elsewhere , which contain the late
speech of Senator Hoar , given tit the Re
publican club In Boston , In which ho used
this expressive phrase. 'I can see no dif
ference In the lnchlng of a southern post
master and lynching a people because they
think a government derives Us Just powers
from the consent of the governed , and got
thoEO IdeaH from the constitution of the
United States , ' be taken from the malls
"If this attempt to forbid free speech and
free malls to the people of this country has
been made , wh ch I cannot believe , I think
the people will decide themselves what to
do about It "

WASHINGTON ( May 2. ( Special Tele
gram ) -Speaking of iho Turgcou case , which
came before Iho reprcBcntallv e of hU holl-
no's Leo XI II In this city' ' from the bishop of
Lincoln , Thomas Ilonacum , on appeal , lr
Rookor , private necrcttiry to the delegate ,
said so fai cs Washington was concerned the
case was at an end. Rov. O. N. Turgeon
had failed to answer many of the Interroga
tories addressed to him and In fact wanted
n commissioner or special representative of
Monslgnor Marttncllt scut , to the dloceso to
Investigate the charges preferred by Ulshop
lionucmn.
"This was wholly out < ) t the question , "
eald Dr. Rookor , " for jjbould Washington
grant that concession to every ? priest charged
with disobedience ot ecclesiastical laws the
delegation at the capital tif the American
nation would have to pay for this special
work an enormous sum Of money. The
church docs not coerce her priests to re
main faithful to her laws , but on the con
trary should a pi lest desire to join same
other church than the Catholic then It Is
the business of that priest to leave in an
orderly manner nnd not compel the civil
nuthorltles to inlcrfere by forcible ouslcr.
The church teaches ohedlence.to ecclesiasti
cal law aud those who brenlr these laws cannot -
not hope to have the church's benediction ,
but rather Ita discipline. In olden , times
should a deposed priest pursst ! in holding
communion in a church { .finwhlch ho hr.d
been deposed the Jail wuuld nave found an
unwilling Inmate , but In these das the law
must bo Invoked to enjoin a prleot from

Secretary Alccr tald , In part
"When oppression had denied civil nnd
icliglous liberties to a God-loving nnd God
fearing people ( our forefathers ) and the )
had determined to leave their native coun
tries for the&o then unknown shores nnd
when , after a long and perilous voage ,
they landed upon the Atlantic coast , their
1 first declaration was 'equal rights and 10i
i llglous freedom to all,1 and from then until
| < now that has been the watchword of the
American people.
"Under the. Ametlt mi ilac Jiattles have
been fought ind won against every force
that has sought to check lt onward progress
toward the setting sun , a flag that has
never been unfurled against an enemy but
to prevail. Hero has becu tounded the cra
dle of freedom , here erected the arch of In I
dependence , hero the child of liberty has
waxed strong into a might ) republic.
"Every sign ot the present and past as
sures us that this government is destined
to be permanently in the lead , Ihat this
country Is to bo. If It Is not already , the
center of civilization and of power a power
which rests in all the people which has
no sovereign save the people. "
After alluding to the hcrol.m ! and suc
cess in war of the revolutionary patriots ,
ancestors of Ihe members of the socioly ,
nnd lo the contest between the north and
the south , rcsulling In Ihe unification of the
nation , Secretary Alger said.
"And now , within the last ) ear we have
again bceen called to arms and upon April
21 , ISIS , under the first call for voluntceers ,
12.1,000 patriols wcro senl inlo the flelu ,
while 1,000,000 men offered their services
At that time , owing to Iho perslslent parsi
mony of congress In making appropriations
foi munitions of war , wo had no provi-
blons of wai , wo had no equipment for wai ,
but we had men and we had the manufac

nallon on earlh , could equip Ihat army ,
which , including the volunteers of the first
nnd second calls , numbered approximately
27.ri,000 , and this army was maitlialcd In
tamps and equipped , CO,000 of them wcro
sent to distant Islands , 10,000 miles apart ,

Major General Mcrrltt was the next
speaker. Ho said
"When wo went to Ibo Philippines there
