BOSTON LEAGUE PROTESTS
Against Governments Seizure of At
kinson's Pamphlets.

Boston, May S.-The executive COM
mittee of the anti-imperialistic league
today adopted the following letter to
be sent to Edward Atkinson:
The executive committee of the anti
imperialistic league thought it proper
to privately communicate at once to
the same persons to whom, as you adj
vised US, April %, you had written to
express your intention of mailing your
pamphlets to soldiers in the field. that
the league did not desire to circulate
its literature in this manner. Inadvert-
ence in expression. doubtless accident
ally, otherwise conveyed TO the re-
cipientS of your letters the impression
that you had forwarded the leagues
publications for their distribution
What difference of opinion may ex-
list as to the propriety of the circula-
ton which you suggested tbut which
we understand has not been attempt
ED, there should be only one opinion as
to the far more serious issue which
has been raised by your experiment of
sending copies of your pamphlet only
to Admiral George Dewey, President
Schurman. Professor Worcester, Gener-
al Otis, General Lawton. General Miller
and J. H. Bass, the correspondent of
Harper's Weekly. and which was re-
ported to have been taken from the
mails by order of the postmaster gen.
eral-
Against this act or arbitrary and
illegal power, which would hardly be
attempted by any government of Eu-
rope except perhaps that of Russia, the
league calls on all good citizens to pro-
test as a serious blow to republican
institutions. which are now so Sravely
threatened by imperial policies at home
and abroad"

BRAVE FoRTSoN FELL.
How the Daring Washington Cap
tain Lost His Life.

Manila, April (per transport Roam
oke to San Francisco, May SIT is
noteworthy that the soldiers have per-
formed their tasks with such signal
bravery and patience. Instances of
personal bravery are numerous and the
American troops have never faltered
under fire.
In one of the side encounters along
the firing line, which have become such
everyday events that they are not
talked of here, though some of them
deserve a place in history, Captain
Fortson of the Washington regiment
lost his life. Insurgent sharpshooters.

The charge succeeded. In their expe-

They were dazed. and ran like mad

STRIKE STILL UNSETTLED.
No Prospect of Settling the Difficulty
at Buffalo.

Buffalo. May S.-The strike is prac-
tically unchanged. All efforts made to
bring about a settlement have been
baked by the absolute refusal of the
strikers to consider any proposition that
did not include the abrogation of Con-
tractor Connors' contract and the re-
fusal of the Lake Carriers association
to consider the contract.
Bishop Quigley had been asked and
had consented to receive delegations
from the different interests effected by
the strike. and during the day he coll
ferred at his residence with delegations
from the strikers, from the Lake Car
riers' association and the state board
of arbitration.
The proposition submitted by the
striking shovelers during the confer
ence at the bishops house provided for
the abrogation of the contract with Mr..
Connors and the letting of another
contract to the ain-shovelers' union
at the sam eprice as bid by Mr.. Con-
nors. 1t also provided for the appoint
ment of a paymaster not connected
with any saloon interests and the ap-
pointment of local board of arbitra-
ton with power to settle all differences
in the future that might arise in con-
nection with the contractor or among
the men. The proposition was re-
jected.

Washington, May s.-The navy de-
partment has selected a successor to
Admiral Dewey to command the Asiatic
station.
Orders were today issued detaching
Rear Admiral Watson from command
if the Mare Island hayward and order
ing him to report to Admiral Dewey at
Manila to relieve that officer when he
feels that he can be spared there.
Rear Admiral Kempff, at present on
waiting orders, has been ordered to sue
coed Admiral Watson in command of
the Mare Island maynard.

WILL COME BY SUEZ.
Dewey Will Sail From Manila Direct
to New York.

Washington, May SIT was stated at
the navy department today that Ad-
miral Dewey will come from Manila
direct to New York when he returns to
the United States. However. it was
added the admiral will not start until
the commission of which he is a mem
Der has completed the work it has IN
dertaken at least so far as it relates to
the restoration of peace to the islands.
The reason for bringing the flagship
Olympia to New York, instead of hav-
ing her come to San Francisco, where
she was built, is said to be primarily
because Admiral Dewey desires to make
the passage on his own flagship, but
also for the reason that the Mare Island
yard threatens to be overwhelmed with
repair work as soon as the numerous
vessels of Dewey's fleet begin to return
to the United States.
The Olympia is in need of thorough
overhauling, having been away from
her home station longer than any of the
vessels in the Asiatic fleet, and rem
dered more than the usual amount of
hard service during her absence.

Beemer, Neb.. May S.-Mary Vlach,
the 16-year-oId daughter of a farmer
residing near this city. committed sui
eide while respondent over the death
of her soldier sweetheart, George Hoar,
who fell before Caloocan while light

Hoar was neishboring farm boy
and the two had attended the same
country school The sorrowing girl
took her fathers shotgun and retiring
TO her room, went to work deliberately
to prepare for her death. She removed
one of her slippers and placing the
muzzle of the gun over her heart,
pushed the trigger of the weapon with
her toe Death was instantaneous. The
girl left letter to her parents saving
she could not bear her grief longer, and
preferred death.
An hour after the tragedy the girls

RESORT TO HABEAS CORPUS
HOW THE COLORADO VOLUN-
TIERS MAY BE RELEASED.
The Only Method Open to Governor
Thomas, and Would Even Then
Probably Lose His Case.

New York, May S.-A special to the
World from Washington says:
1T is possible, war department off,
Gals say, that the governor of Colo
RADIO may be able to set the question
of the right of the United States to use
the volunteers in foreign service before
the courts through the medium of
habeas corpus proceedings.
This might be done on the allegation
that the volunteers are held against
their wishes. War department officials
say it would be easy to prove by the
orders which have been issued that all
the volunteers were perfectly free to
ask for and obtain their discharge
when the treaty of peace was signed.
There is no doubt, the authorities
say, that the governor would lose his
case if brought on this point. but they
regard habeaS corpus proceedings as
the only course open to him."

In New York.

New York, May S.-Several hundred
Italians at work on the Jerome park
reservoir went on strike today. The

hundred policemen were sent to the
reservoir.
The strikers attempted to coerce the

and for a time there seemed imminent
danger of trouble The police came up
and Foreman Timothy O'Connor
stepped up to Michael Samboraso, a
leader of the strikers, and told him to
get away from the place Samboraso
retorted by trying to brain O'Connor
with a shovel. The Italian was ar
rested before he did any damage. He
was fined So in a police court
The strikers number 1000. They had
struck for s1.50 in place of SIPS a day.
A quantity of dynamite is stored
around the reservoir, and it was to pro-
tect this that the police were called.

Filipinos Surprise Americans With
a Bold Trick

Manila, May S.-The Filipinos sur
prised the United States forces at San
Fernando with a daring trick yester-
day.
a raise ay train, with an engine at
each emu, was run almost to the Amer
lean outposts and in plain sight of the
town. Before they could be reached a
gang of natives sprang off the train,
tore up several lengths of the railway
track, boarded the train again and
steamed away so quickly that there
was no opportunity to capture the
raiders.

couraged over the condition in Manila.
The report of General Otis received to-
day indicates that the American troops
are well disposed. 1t has been evident
that the insurgents who were operating
in the swamps and jungles east of Cen
eral Macarthur have been very annoy
ing, but the army gunboats have made
it too hot for them to remain. General
Lawton appears to be pushing north
ward some fifteen miles to the east of
Macarthur.
The Rio Grande river lies between
them. and there the gunboats evidently
are at work. The portions of the dis
patch which the department has not
made public possibly refers to the fu-
ture movements of the two divisions of
the army.

more dirt has been taken out than was
