ANTI-IMPERlALIST DOCUMENTS ARE
s.
TAKEN FROM MAILS.
ATTORNEY GENERALS VIEWS
Postal Authorities Have the Right to Pre-
vent the Pamphlets Sent by Ell
ward Atkinson From Reach
ing Our Soldiers.

Washington, May 3.-It was decided
1T the cabinet meeting yesterday to
seize and destroy literature prepared
Oy the Anti-Imperialist league of Bos-
ton for circulation among the troops
in the Philippines.
The attorney general holds that I'M
der section 1884 of the revised statutes
every one who advises the soldiers not
to re-enlist or who criticises the poll
icy of the government is guilty of as
sisting in insurrection against the
United States, and therefore punish
able.
1t was stated after the cabinet meet
Ing that it was not proposed at present
to cause any arrests. The postoff1ce
department will make every effort to
Tree Manila mails of the Objectionable
matter, but should it be found that the
warning and the precautions do not
avail recourse will be had to the courts.
The action taken by the postmaster
general was that of directing the post
master at San Francisco to take out of
the mails for Manila three pamphlets
issued by Edward Atkinson of Boston,
Vice-president of the Anti-Imperialisti
league. This order does not apply to
the circulation of the pamphlets by
mail in this country, but bars their dis
patch from this country to the Philip
pines, discomfort and even mutinY
among the soldiers being stated by the
to be the design of these
publications. The three pamphlets are
specifically described, and in no cir
cumstances are they to be forwarded
by mail to the Philippines.
