New York, April 22.-Counsel of the
MaZet committee this morning called
attention of the committee and wit
nesSeS to penal code sections which
provide a year Imprisonment or fine of
$500 or both for refusal to attend or an
swer questions propounded by a com
mittee of the legislature. He said the
counsel would cite contumaciOuS wit
nesses to the constituted criminal au-
thorities of this county for indictment
and punishment.
If it were possible for the grand jury
of this county to spare time to deal with
cases of contempt, counsel for the COM
mittee would request the governor to
appoint judge to hold an extraordinary
term of Supreme court and impanel an
extraordinary grand jury before which
the matters could be brought.
DR.. OSullivan, representing city de-
partments, referred to Clarkc'S an
nouncement as intimidation.
Samuel Meyers refused point blank to
answer question whether he had been
employed by any member of the city
government or police department to go
to disorderly resorts and solicit orders
for Maryland whskey. Chairman
Mazet directed counsel to take steps to
bring Meyers before the court for con-
tempt as soon as practicable.

Manila, April a2.-Goneral Lawton
took the field at day break today with the
North Dakota regiment, two battalions
OF the Bird infantry, the N22d infantry,
two guns of SCOTS battery. three
troops of the 4th cavalry and Gales
squadron equipped in light marching
order. This force started at 5 o'clock
this morning over the Novaliches road
traversing the country previously cleared
of rebels, but subsequently re-occupied
by them. 1t is to be presumed that
General Lawton by this movement will
outflank the enemy before joining Gen
eral Macarthur north of Novaliches.
The Dakota regiment first encountered
the enemy in front of Novaliches at a.
m. The rebels opened fire but the fire
was silenced Is minutes later, the enemy
retiring in bad order, the Americans
advancing along the rough roads around
Novaliches. They were considerably
annoyed by the fire of rebel sharpshoot-
ers from Jungle for two hours. At 2
o'clock this afternoon rebels were in
full flight, leaving many dead on the
field and our troops were compelled to
take brief rest in the shade the heat
being overpowering.
THE DEPARTMENT NOTIFIED.
Washington, April 32.-The War de-
partment received cablgram from
General Otis announcing the formation
of new flying column under the com
mand of General Lawton and the ini-
tiation of a new campaign to clear out
the jungle north Of Manila up to the
foothills and up to the termination of
the railroad at Bulucan.

Kansas City, April s2.-The Missouri
river continued to rise for the past "a
hours, though not so rapidly as for the
past four days. Squatters on lowlands
are moving their effects to higher

There is a break in the Payne levee
about 200 feet wide. The levee is a
mile long and protects the Burlington
track, the depot and part of the town of
Hamburg, so miles north of st. Joseph.
Bags of sand are being used to repair
the break.
Omaha, Neb., April 2a.-The river
rose several points last night. and large
portion Of the bottoms is overf1owed.
A strong current which cut across from
Florence lake washed out some track.
No main line is yet under water.

Albuquerque Items.

Judge w. ID. Lee, referee, has decided
the case of Santiago Baca vs. the board
of county commissioners for Bernalillo
county. The plaintiff sued for 81, 100 66
and S1.124.sS. the alleged balance due
him for commissions as asses or in the
years 1893 and 1894 respectively. The
officer was paid rs per cent of his COM
missions at the time and the remaining
25 per cent was retained until the taxes
assessed should be collected or shown
to be uncolectable. 1t was to recover
this 25 per cent that the suit was
brought Judge Lee holds that an
assessor is not entitled to commissions
on assessments made for school pur-
poses. As the plaintiff in this case re-
ceived more than the amount of the
commissions on the taxes collected, the
county will not be obliged to pay the
commissions claimed.
Chief Justice Mills has appointed
Frank Manzanares, Colonel j. L. Nor
ris of Thornton, and W. w. Jones of
San Marcial, as commissioners to ap-
praise the value of the property to be
condemned for the purpose of construct
ing the low line canal.
