The failures in April were the smallest

April of last year, not third of the

Both in manufacturing and in trading
they were the smallest ever known in
that month and in trading the smallest

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.
Growing Belief That the President VIII
Call Congress to Meet This Fall.

Washington, May 4.-There is q
growing belief among congressman
that the president will call congress to
meet in extraordinary session this fall,
probably early in October. The ques-.
tions which will come before the next
congress for settlement, including as
they do, everything growing out of
our possessions acquired as result of
the war with Spain, and the general
legislation, including that relating to
currency reform, the Nicarauga canal,
merchant marine, ETC., are of such inn
portance that the president is inclined
to regard it as advisa BILE that congress
should meet earlier than the regular
session Ia December, in order to get
the work under way.
The retirement of Speaker Reed will
naturally entail considerable DELAY in
the appointment of committees in the
house, as it is customary to allow a.
new speaker four or five weeks tomake
up his committees, and this furnishes
an additional reason why congress
should be convened before December.

New York, May 10.--A special from

Aguinsldo's government is but matter
Of q few days. What the Americans
have so far failed to accomplish, the
insurgents themselves are doing.
Six thousand Filipinos are in open

The state of affairs threatens the
Immediate downfall of the Filipino
government. With mutiny among his
own forces and SO closely pressed by
the American troops, it is impossible
that Aguinaldo can carry on warfare
further. 1t would be safer for him and
his government to surrender to the
Americans than to fall victims to
treachery in his own ranks.
The situation is thoroughly appreci-
ated by General Otis, and he will push
his campaign with renewed vigor.
The outbreak has been expected by
the Americans, for there has been dis
sension in the Filipino ranks for some

Washington, May 7.-Detailed re
ports of the work of Major-Genera,
Lawton's expedition show that bard
er fighting took place during the early
part of the week than earlier accounts
indicated. In the attack on San Ra-
fael the American forces were met
with heavy fire from a large number
of rebels who were concealed in the
! jungles on all sides. 1t was only in
the adopting of tactics followed in In
dian fighting in the United States, ev-
cry man for himself, that saved the
division from great loss. General
Lawton, as usual, was at the head Of
his staff. Scott's battery demolished
stone-fronted trench at short range.
The insurgent leaders, Gregorio and
Pho del Pillar who had 800 men in Bali
nag, retreated when General Lawton
appeared at the town. Chief of Scouts
Young, with eleven men, entered Bal
mag ahead of the army and rang the
church bells to announce that they
had possession of the city.
General Lawton, when attacking in
force outside Of Balinag, saw women
and children in the rebel trenches and
sent Captain Case in advance with a
white flag to warn the insurgents to
remove the non-combatants. When
within 500 yards of the trench two
volleys were fired at Captain Cases
party.
