The beet sugar manufacturers who
insist that they will have valid claim
against the state for bounty of cent
a pound for all sugar manufactured dur
ing the seven years provided for III the
bounty law of 1891, pin their faith IL
the constitutionality of the law to pro-
vision of the constitution that few would
think of invoking in case Of this kind.
They quote with great emphasis and
confidence section II Of article ID, OF the
constitution, which provides that 1.-the
legislature shall encourage the promo

Manila. May 6.-NIaj. Gen. MacAr-
thur carried San Tomas after en-
countering strong resistance Brig.
Gen. Hale moved on the enemy's right
and Brig. Gen. Wheaton attacked the
left in daring charge, in which Col.
Funston again distinguished himself.
The Kansan was wounded in the hand
and several other officers and enlisted

Minnesota regiments and gun of the

The Filipinos are retreating toward
San Isidro and it is expected that they
will make Il stand at Arayat. at which
place the whole of the rebel force in

trating.
1t is reported that, impressed by re-
cent events, the Filipinos are wavering
in their allegiance to the instruction

Washington, May 6. = A cablegra1s
has been received from Gen. Otis
which says:
Sumner, with six battaliOns of the
Oregon, Dakota, Third infantry and
Utah light artillery of Lawton's divis-
ion, proceeded north this morning to
Maasin, crossed the river, charged the
enemy in strong Entertainments, driv-
ing him northward and inflicting con-
siderable loss. His casualties, two
wounded.
Both Wheaton and Hale, of MacAr-
thurs division found enemy in force,
strongly intrenched and commanded
by Communicating Chief Luna about
four miles south Of San Fernando.
Hale, on the right dislodged the enc
my, and Wheaton, on the left, leading
an advance, made a brilliant charge,
scattering his forces. inflicting great
punishment. Several officers and ell
listed men severely wounded.
"MacArthur proceeds to san Fer
nando in the morning. Delayed by
partial destruction of bridge across
river. Not believed the enemy will
make another determined stand until
he effects a retreat to Mount Arayat
at short distance from Isidro.'
Another dispatch giving the stua,
ton in the Philippines was received
from Gen. Otis. as follows:
"Lawton holds Baluag. captured OH
the I'd inst after rapid movement from
Angat, where supplied with wagon
train, pack animals and rations. He
scattered the strongly intrenched reb-
els to the north and nOrthwestwaru.
capturing large amounts of food sup
plies, and has his detachments to the
north and eastward. His successful
movement was attended with great
difficulty because of the character of
the country, rain and heat. He now
covers our railway communication and
will be supplied from Malolos.
"MacArthur's column concentrated
took up the advance on San Fernando
at 6:30 this morning DO not appre-
bend sharp resistance on the part Of
tie enemy who will probably leave
the railroad and retire northeasterly
direct to north of Lawton. The de,
struction of the railroad near Calum-
Dit necessitates dependence on wagon
transportation.
"The enemy south and east of Ma
Mia, 5000 strong. opposed by sufficient
force under Ovenshine and Hail. The
demonstration thus far properly met
by these officers, with light losses.
MANY reports are received from out
lying cities for protection against in
surgent troops"
The war department is satisfied from
the dispatches received from Gen
Otis that the American commander
has put aside the insurgent temporiz-
ing over peace and has turned his at
tertion to most aggressive tactics. The
wisdom Of his course was fully ap-
proved by officials here, who have
foreseen that the rebels needed further
chastisement in order to bring them to
a realizing sense Of their position.

mediation worked hard yesterday in
an effort to settle the existing troubles
OH the docks. Conferences have been
held with the strike leaders. meetings
have been addressed and speeches
listened to, and at midnight a confer
ence was going on at the Iroquois hotel
at which representatives of all inter
ests involved We're present and a most
determined effort made to bring about
a settlement of the difficulty. While
there is every indication that the con-
tractors union is willing to grant con-
cessions to the strikers in the way of
advanced wages and the removal of
the saloon bosses. the strikers show Il
most unyielding spirit.
A meeting was held yesterday after
noon at which were present at least
1000 scoopers. When II member of
the state board advanced to the front
OF the stage and addressed the men,
asking them if they would return to
work if all of their demands save one
that of the withdrawal of the contract

The contractors claim TO be working
twelve elevators. but. while this is
probably true. the number of men
placed on each boat is so small that
but little progress is being made.
Traffic on the Erie canal is threat
