ATKINSON SUPPRESSED
Cabinet Takes Action Against
 Boston "Anti-Imperialist."
PAMPHLETS SHUT OUT OF MAILS.
Must Not Re sent to the Philippines, Though Their Circulation In the United States Is Not Interfered with-what Atkinson says.

with-what Atkinson Says.
 Washington. May 3.-The cabinet yes terday discuss d at length the conduct of Edward Atk .nson of Boston and his associate ''anti-imperialists' in send ing out circulars calculated to preju- dice the success of the administration in the Philippines.
 It was decided that the transmission to the Philippines and foreign coun- tries of Atkinson's circular and all sim liar matter shall be prohibited. The prohibition will not apply to the use of the mails within the United States. Postmaster General Smith was in- structed to issue an order carrying out the cabinets decision.
 The three pamphlets which have been prohibited in the mails for the Philip pines are those which have the follow ing titles: Criminal Aggression by Whom?" "The Cost of a National Crime" and The Hell of War and Its Penalties"
 These, unless something should de- velop to necessitate further action, may be circulated through the mails within this country. According to MT. Atkin- sons own statement, as reported. a large number of pamphlets have been
 
 the attention of the postal officials by the war department. whose authorities were greatly exercised, with a sugges- ton that some action be taken. It Is thought that there is little possibility of any of these publications getting past the San Francisco office, but If few should the military authorities in the Philippines will promptly suppress them.
 Omcials Hope Atkinson VIII Desist.
 It Is hoped by officials that Mir. Att kinson and his associates will realize that they have been treading on dan gerous ground and will discontinue the circulation of this literature. Should they not do so and attempt to get such literature into the Philippines, notwith- standing the action of the postmaster general. it may be decided to have them arrested and tried.
 The feeling among members of the cabinet is that the administration has treated the anti-imperialists very le- niently and that the attorney general would have been Justified in having Mir. Atkinson arrested at once and brought before a federal grand jury. It is ex- pected that nothing more will be done in the matter unless he should force the government to proceed against him, so that he could pose as a martyr.

MT. Atkinson added:
 "The position taken by the postmas- ter general, if sustained, k to the ef- feet that the private editions of two documents which are now public docu- ments of the United States are not per- mitted to be sent through the malls to Admiral Dewey. President Schurman. Professor Worcester. General H. c. Otis, General Lawton, General Miller and J. F. Bass, who are the only per sons to whom they have been sent by me.
