The Americans Assault and
Capture San Tomas.
Gen. Otis Resumes Aggressive Moves,
While the Natives Farley.
Lawton and Macarthur Closing in. Having
Rebels Nearly Surrounded.

Manila. May 4.-(5.50 2. M)-Major
General Macarthur has carried San
Tomas, after encountering strong re-
sstance
San Tomas is the town about which
the troops under command of Gen.
Luna have been camped, and from
which the peace ENJOYS went to Ma
Mia. 1t is also the place to which the
insurgent forces have been flocking
, from San Fernandino, and it is sup

tackled The left in a daring charge. in
| which Col. Funston again distinguish
| Ell himself. The kansan was wound

GERS and enlisted men were also
| wounded.
Col. Summers, with Il part Of the
Oregon and Minnesota Regiments and
a gun of the Utah Battry took Moasim
on the right. resting four miles from
San Fernandino.
The Filipinos are retreating toward
San Isidoro and it is expected that
they will make a stand at Arayal, at
which place the whole of the rebel
forces in the province of Panpanga is
concentrating.
1t is reported that, impressed by re-
cent events. the Filipinos are wavering
in their allegiance to the insurgents
and are likely to assume a neutral at
titude.
1t seems as though Gen. Antonio
Luna's forces are destined to destruc-
ton within few days unless they sur
render or scatter.
The American army has been skill
fully posted at points of immense
strategic advantage. The insurgents
expected them to advance on Balinag
by way of Quingua, and had furrowed
the entire country beyound Quingua
with the strongest sort of entrench-
ments.
Instead of taking this course Gen.
Macarthur swung towards San Tomas.
the route which was almost unprotect-
ed. Gen. Lawton brought his brigade
in against Balsuam from the south
east. covering the line of retreat of the
rebels towards the mountains and de-
priving them of a refuge upon which
they had always counted. General
Lawton captured $4,000 bushels of rice.

The Spanish commissioners have
made another futile attempt for the
relief of Spaniards held as prisoners by
the FilipinOs Their vessels steamed
TO the port nearest Saguran. Fearing
to land. they sent a letter to Aguinaldo
saying that they were authorized to
exchange 1900 Filipinos now in the
hands OF the Americans for the Span
ish prisoners. A reply was received
from Senior Mabini, Aguinaldo's prime
minister, which was dated April 2S, and
which stated that Aguinaldo was nego-
tiating for peace. pending which nego-
tations he could not discuss the ques-
ton of exchange of prisoners.

AN EXTRA SESSION
Of Congress Contemplated
by President Mckinley.
Measures Growing Out Of War, Mic
araguan Canal and Merchant Marine
With Other Important Business Is Given as
Reasons for the Call.

Washington. May 4.-There is a
growing belief among prominent mem
bers Of Congress that the President will
call Congress to meet in extraordinary

before the next Congress for settlement
including as they do everything grow
ing out of our possessions acquired as
a result of the war with Spain and the
general legislation including that re-
lating TO currency reform, the Nicara-
qua canal, merchant marine. etc, are
of such great Importance that the Pres
ident is inclined to regard it as advis-
able that Congress should meet
earlier than the regular session, in
December. in order to have the work
under way. The retirement Of Speak
err Reed will naturally entail consider
able delay in the appointment Of COM
mttees in the House
To several senators and members of
Congress who are going abroad this
summer. the President has particularly
inquired as to the length of their stay
and has limited that it was advise BE
that they should be back in the early
fall az the necessity for an extra ses-
sion might arise.
With others. It is said, he has dis
cussed the subject, and. moreover. it
was upon the Presidents direct sug-
sesti0n that the caucus committee ap-
pointed by the House Republicans 10
formulate a currency reform measure
met when it did. There had been talk
of postponing the meeting, until fall. but
the President suggested that it would
be well to formulate q plan as early
as possible and this statement was
made to the members when they met
at Atlantic City as having come direct
from the President together with the
further statement that the President
might call Congress in extraordinary
session. in the fall. for the purpose
among other things of passing a cur
rency reform measure.
At the White House no confirmation
can be obtained Of the statement that
the President contemplates calling Con-
gress together in the fail.
