of the overflow caused by the ice in the
Yellowstone river below here Friday night

was under water. Seventy-five houses had
to be abandoned, the people having to be
rescued in boats, SO quick had beensthe rise
of water. Later in the afternoon the water
broke over the track into Main street

THE MARINE CORPS.
Decision That It's Officers and Men Ar.
Entitled to Extra Pay

Mr.. L. P. Mitchell, assistant controller of
the treasury. has rendered the following
opinion -as to certain officers and men of
the marine corps being entitled to extra
pay:
While the marine corps cannot be un-
derstood to be part of the navy for all
purposes, l am of opinion, and so decide
that the officers and enlisted men of the
marine corps who were appointed or en-
listed therein for the war only and who
served cTeditably therein during the war and
who are discharged at the close of the war,
come within the meaning and are entitled
to the extra pay granted by said act of
March 3, 1899. to the officers and enlisted men
comprising the temporary force of the navy
during the war with Spain -
Mr.. Mitchelrs decision overrules the au-
dttor for the Navy Department, who held
that the act of Congress of March 3 did
not include the marine corps in its bene-
fits.
The assistant controller quotes several de-
cisions of the courts. showing that the
marine corps is subject to the laws and
regulations of the navy.

GEN. LAwTON's MOVEMENT.
Its Rapidity and Success Praised nj
the Depar rtment.

The rapidity of General Lawton's move
ment, and his success in capturing the IN
surgent stronghold of Santa Cruz WITHIN
few hours of his start. is favorably COM
mented on in War Department circles
From a strategic standpoint this move Is
regarded as a complement to tnat OF Cen
eral Macarthur at the north While the
advance northward toward Malo'os was IN
progress the Insurgents to the south became
very restless. threatening Lawton's front.
Until Macarthur had fully carried out his
plans Lawton remained inactive; but now
his time for action has come, and he is
sweeping the insurgents back westward and
southwark.
General Otis report today, giving heavy
loss for the insurgents and a comparatively
small number of casualties among our men,
is attributed to the use of gunboats. 1t is
presumed that LawtOn's expedition has not
landed, and that bush fighting has not be-
gun yet. The expedition approached the
insurgent town from the lake side, permit
ting the gunboats to shell the place with
out serious exposure of our forces. The re-
port that Lawton will pursue westward
causes some confusion, owing to the lay of
the land west of Santa Cruz. Back of the
lake there is narrow strip of land leading
runs along this strip, affording the insur-
gents some opportunity for hiding and for
guerrilla tactics. The lake itself is west
of Santa Cruz that it is presumed the
report of a chase WESTWARD refers to
Lawtons tactics of following the rebels
along the narrow strip of land on the east
Iii the AXE is cleared and the territory
spreads out in that plane ,ying Immediately
south of Manila. This stretch of country
has given much trouble and if Lawton can
clear it, and at the same time break up
some of the insurgent stronsholds, much
will have been done to insure quiet on the
south and west during the wet season.

The only one of substance is that here
after no officer or enlisted man. but only
civilian employees, may dispense beer in the
