WARNING TO ATKINSON.
III He Mails More Circulars He May
TIE puufshed.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 2.-The abb
sentees from to-days Cabinet meeting
were Secretaries Gage Long, Alger. and
Wilson. One OF the subjects of discus
sion was that regarding the circulars
which were mailed TO the troops !. at
Manila, criticising the Philippine policy
of the government. and advising yolun-
teers whose terms of service are about
to expire not 10 re-enlist. A member Oh
the Cabinet IN speaking OF the matter,
said that Mr.. Edward Atkinson, or BoS-
ton. who Is believed 20 have been largely
instrumental In the preparation and send
ing out OF these circulars. was unques-
tionably guilty Of assisting an insurrec-
ton against the authority Of the United
States, and was subject 10 a term OF i'm
prisonment or a heavy fine, or both.
The law. which. IL is said. had been
violated. is section 5S3f, of the Revised
Statutes which is as follows: Every
person who incites, sets on foot, assists,
or engages i'm any rebellion or insurrection
against the authority Of the United
States. or the laws thereof, or gives aid
or comfort thereto, shall be punished by
Imprisonment not more than ten years,
or by a fine Of not more than $1,000. or
by both OF such punishments; and shall,
moreover, be incapable of holding any
Office under the United states
What action, II any, VIII be taken IN
the matter has not been determined, put
IL il said that the government is dis
posed to regard the acts OF Mr.. Atklh-
son as those OF person without any
proper conception Of the gravity or tne
offence committed, and may not at TINS
time take action against Mr. Atkinson
and his assistants.
The Postmaster-General stated az the
Cabinet meeting that he had ordered the
circulars stopped at San Francisco. Mem
bers OF the administration regard Mr..
Atknson's alleged action as seditious and
disgraceful. and IL is not improbable that.
IL repeated. prompt and energetic action
will be taken.

tent 10 let free silver sink into the back
ground and fight the battle on the great
questions Of expansion or anti-expanslon
and anti-monopoly or trusts, then he VIII
