committee will be applied only to insti-
tutions that may be hereafter chartered.
This plan will have strong backing and
will meet with good support.
One of the strong objections to the plan
OF the committee on seminary control is
that which involves recourse to the civil
courts for the settement,of ecclesiastical
differences.
Thus far nothing has been heard of the
plans for the deposing of DIR. Briggs,
which were said to be under serious con-
sideration. But the assembly is young
yet and those who we're active in the con-
demnation two years ago are now absent
from the scene. 1t may be these plans
are now simply in abeyance to be sprung
upon the assembly at later date.
Next Wednesday the general assembly
OF the United Presbyterian church will
meet in this city. About 300 delegates
are expected, and the assembly will last
probably ten days. The question of SEM
mary control. which is now racking the
brains OF the learned brethren of the Pres
byterian church, will also engross the at
tention of the United Presbyterian asso-
citation for the greater part of the time,
but not much trouble is anticipated, as
the differedt synods of the church have
all given their votes in favor of more
complete control of the seminaries by the
general assembly, and all this body will
have to do is to hear the report of the
committee and adopt it as presented.
Indications are that Rev. John b.
Michael, ID. president OF Monmouth.
Illinois, college, will be elected moderator

ATTACKED FROM AN AMBUSH
Methods Of Fighting Adopted by Cuban
Insurgents
Story Of the Recent Engagement at Jtvito.
General Maceo Reported to Be in a
Very Strong Position

NEW YORK. May 1s.-A special to the
Herald from Santiago de Cuba says: The
insurrection grows with tremendous
strides. Gen. Martinez Campos has
changed his mind about ending the trou-
bic in three months. The chiefs are
greatly elated over the poeress OF the
revolution. They say more has been ac-
complished the last month than during
the tirst five years of the last war. They
declare this will not last more than two
years, and may be terminated in much
shorter time if the people OF other prov

PRESBYTERIAN CONGRESS
Breach Regarding the Seminary Ques.
tiOn Still Open
Committee Reports Before the Council Cause
Considerable Debate-Dr. Briggs Case
Still in Allegiance

PITTSBURG, May 1s.-Assembly con-
troll of the seminaries has possession of
the Presbyterian general assembly, even
if the assembly has not possession of the
seminaries. which it desires. AT the
close of the morning session adjourn
ment was taken until Monday morning,
and the debate on the proposed plan OF
gathering in the semnaries into close
and guarded fold will be resumed. The
net result thus far attained has been to
divide the assembly into two clearly
marked parties, and it is Judged that the
line of cleavage is near the numerical
center Of the body. 1t seems proba BILE
the vote OF four to one that was recorded
last year Will be wiped out in large part
and the disproportion greatly reduced.
The committee which is urging the
adoption OF the resolution providing for
closer relations between the assembly and
the seminaries saw itself compelled by
the strength OF the opposition which
has developed. to import Thomas Nc
Dougall OF Cincinnati, member OF tn Q
committee, to present the legal side OF
the case. This he did in a speech of an
hour and quarter, but he labored under
q heavy handicap on account of the
pamphlet which he recently published
attacking the integrity and faithfulness
of the boards of home and forei mis-
sions in New York for using funds given
for missionary purposes in the erection of
large building cn Fifth avenue. The
peroration of his speech was devoted to
reviewing prejudices created by his pam
phlet. and the degree of his success will

THAT FAMOUS INCOME TAX
Some Doubt About a Decision
Being Reached Monday
VARIOUS RUMORS AFLOAT
No Consultation Held by the Justices
Yesterday
Some Of the Jurists Preferred to Attend q
Big Shad Bake, and Did So-Mere
Guess Work as to the Result
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. May 1s.--The annual
shad bake of the District FAIR association
proved so much more attractive to some OF
the justices of the supreme court today
than the consultation that the usual Sat-
urday conference of the supreme court
was postponed until next Monday morn
ing. In consequence Of this postponement
the final conclusion on the income tax
cases has been deferred until then.
The second conference on the question
Is made necessary according to the best
information obtainable by the facts that
the position of at least one O the mem bers
of the court believed to be Justice Shiras
was not definitely and absolutely an
nounced last Saturday. Justices Harlan,
Brown, White and Jackson had a seEa-
rate consultation under circum stances
which made it appear quite certain that
Justice Jackson had taken position with
those who upheld the constitutionality OF
the law, and there were known to be four
mem bers of the court who had cast their
votes in favor OF sustaining the law, the
inference was generally drawn that with
the accession of Justice Jackson a major
ity would be found on the affirmative side
when that result should be announced.
The fact that one of the justices who
had formerly voted for the law. asked for
further time to consider the case as pre-
sented at the second hearing, has since
come to light. and this. with other cii-
cumstances of a contirmatory character,
has led to general impression that when
tile opinion shall have been announced
it will be found that the majority of the
justices are pposed to it in all its details
and that the law will be declared uncon-
stitutional in toto.
It is known that the members OF the
court who opposed the law from the be-
ginning are hopeful and fairly confident
Of this result, but they will not allow
themselves to feel absolutely assured un-
til the final vote shall be taken prior to
going into court on Monday. The JUS
tices opposed to the law also consider il
possible that at this final conference,
when it appears. if it shall SO appear,
that they are in the majority, they may
secure other accessions. Such death bed
conversions, as a member of the court
calls it, are said not to be SO rare as sup
posed.
1t is said that the opinion is now being
pI Iepared on the theory that the opponents
OF the law will have five votes (th at is,
a majority. and in this event the opin.
ion OF tl1s court. it is said. will again be
the work of Chief Justice Fuller.
There is possibility that the opinion
may not be handed down on Monday
next. The members of the court are them
selves of the opinion that it ill be, but
they say in view of a possibility oi
changes it is impossible for them to say
positively.
