Postal Clerks HOliLays.

Washington, March 30.-The circular
issued recently by Acting Postmaster
General .Heath constituting the act Of
congress making Sundays and holidays
exclusive of the annual leave of clerks
in the executive departments to also in
clude the clerks at all first and second
class postofiices has produced host of
queries from other employees. Mr..
Heath holds that the law does not APP
ply to clerks at the third and fourth
class offices, as they are hired and paid
independently by the postmasters, nor
does 1t apply to letter carriers, because
statute provision fixes the number of
hours per day they shall work, which.
being construed to mean so many hours
IN fact, per year, cannot be reduced by
any department regula ton.

The expectation here Is that they will
keep on to Malolos and that Thursday
night will see them near the insurgent
capital.
In the meantime the indications are
that the fighting will not be as severe
as 1t was Saturday and Sunday, for
General Otis dispatch says, Enemy $
resistance not so vigorous" This is at
tributed to the fact that our forces are
now in more open country, where
the methods of guerrilla fighting are
not SO readily executed
The report that the enemy has de-
stroyed the railway and telegraph
lines compels our engineers practically
to build railroad and telegraph line
as our troops advance
A high official of the war department
summed up the military situation as
IolloWs: The troops are in excellent
spirits. Full supplies are on hand. and
the supply trains are keeping abreast
or the men. The enemy is losing heart
and falling back"
General Corbin does not credit the re-
port that insurgents have abandoned
their capital and have moved back to
san Fernando. He bases this conclu-
sion on the fact that General Otis has
reported no such move, and he doubt
less would be quick to report any move
OF such vital Importance. His reports
thus far are considered very compre-
hensive and intelligent.
General Otis has cabled the following
additional casualties to Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin:
