BURRIHG THE YrLLAGEs.
Rebels Destroying Much Property Along
the Route OF Retreat.

INC NOute OF ftetreRts
Manila, Philippine Islands, April -
&c. 10 p. m.-Gen. Wheaton started at
daylight, with the Tenth Pennsylvania
and the Second Oregon Regiments and
two guns, to drive the rebels from the
American right flank, between the
railroad and the foothills. He met with
slight resistance near Santa Maria, and
had one man wounded; but the enemy
bolted when shelled by the artillery,
and burned and abandoned the town OF
Santa Maria, whore 1000 rebels wero
reported to have been concentrated.
During the rest OF the day, the enemy
was in full retreat towards tho noun
tains, burning the villages behind the
retreating force. Occasionally, a few
of the rebels dropped to the rear and
fired at the advancing American troops,
from the jungle, apparently with tho
idea that this would check our ad-
vance, and cover the retreat of the
Filipinos, but, finding these tactics
Intellectual, these rebels scrambled after
the main body.

A PRIMARY ELECTION FIGHT.
Democratic City COMMITTEES to Mandamus
the department of Elections to Enlarge
tho List of Qualified Voters.

Democratic City COMMITTEES to Mandamus
the department of Elections to Enlarge
the List of qualified Voters.
The Democratic City Committee met
Tuesday evening at the Bayard Legion.
The following resolution was offered:
Whereas, The Department of Elec-
tions have refused to place on the
voting books for primary elections,
voters who registered subsequent to the
August registration days of 1898; and,
Whereas, The committee has been
advised by counsel that the purpose,
intent and effect of the Primary Elec-
tioE law is not such as contemplates
the exclusion of such registered voters
from participating in primary elections
held subsequent to the general election
in 1898; therefore, be it
Resolved, That counsel be instructed
to cause to be issued writ of manda-
mus directed to the Department of
Elections to compel them to place all
names of such registered voters on the
voting books for the primary election,
or show cause why such names should
not be entered thereon.
The foregoing was offered. it is said,
by Lewis L. Dickey. According to one
statement made to a reporter of The
Gazette, it was unanimously adopted,
but according to another statement, it
was not adopted, but was simply held
under advisement.
Martin E. Smith, who, with ARENAS
Smith and other attorneys, may bring
the mandamus proceedings if such are
decided upon, said that the point
Of law is that the Constitution of the
State provides who shall vote at any
election, whether primary or general,
and it is paramount law; and if the
Legislature undertakes to pass law
contrary to the Constitution it is void
and of no effect. And in addition to
that, the act itself, according to Mr..
Smith, provides that the Department
of Elections shall revise and prepare
the voting books of qualified voters for
the primary election, and fair con
struction Of the words prepare and
revise,' would be to include the addi-
tion to the books of the registered
voters other than those registered at
the August registration.

LOCAL rOLfIICS.
the Two Factions OF tho Republican Part,
Decide to Hold Independent Primaries,

The Two Factions OF til. Republican Party
Decide to Hold Independent Primaries.
The indications are that there will
DO two Republican tickets in the field
at the city election. The Union faction
has already decided to hold its pri
Inaries ON May Goth, and on Tuesday the
Regular city committee fixed May 18th
rs the date for holding its primaries.
Each faction, it is understood, will
have an independent list of candidates.
At Tuesdays meeting of the Regulars
Horace g. Rettew, Winfield s. Quigley
and II. III. Billany were chosen as
finance committee, and Joseph Wiggles-
worth, Lewis Jones' and j. A. Copahan
were directed to look after the VOL k oil
blocking the wards. An active cam
paign has been mapped out and meet
ings are to be held each Monday
evening.
1t was reported on Tuesday that the
Regulars had appointed committee
to confer with the Union faction rela-
tive to joint primaries and a single
ticket, but leading Regular is
authority for the statement that no
such committee was appointed and no
steps have been taken looking toward
amalgamation, which, he considered,
from past events, next to an impos-
sibility.
The name of ex-senator Daniel f.
Stewart has been mentioned in con-
nection with the Union Republican
nomination for mayor, but Mr.. Stewart
says he is not candidate. Several
other names have been mentioned, but,
SO far as is known, there is very little
yet of definite character in the matter
of candidates.
May 9th is the day upon which those
who are not registered can qualify for
the city election.
The Union Republican First District
Committee, through Daniel +. Stewart,
chairman, has sent out a circular on
the subject of the registration and
election. 1t sets forth the necessity of
having ones name transferred if one
has changed voting districts, or of
having ones address altered 10 he has
changed it since the last election. Such
changes may be made Mt the Office of
the Department Of Elections this
month. Attention is drawn also to
the sitting of the registration officers
on May 9th to register new newcomers
and to revise the registration. The
circular says also:
Every man who registered last No
vember but failed to vote must be reg
istered on May 9th If he desires to vote
ut the city election. Every man who
has become of age since last November
can be registered on Saturday, May
9th. Every man who has moved here
from some other part of the State since
last November and prior to March I'd
last, can be registered. To be trans.
ferred on May 9th the voter must go to
the district where be was registered
and voted last November, and get a
certificate of his record, take it to the
polling place in the district where he
now lives, and have it there put upon
the registration book. .
