DECREE OF MORTGAGE EXTENSION.

Havana April H.-The mortgage extension decree
has finally been issued after Information from
Washington clearing up several points In dispute
The phraseology Of the original draft has been
slightly modified but there has been no change In
the main lines of the arrangement. Debtors VIII
complain Of the shortness Of the period, aVerrlhs
that It will not enable them to get good start ana
TO make combinations Creditors. on the other
hand are rather cheerful interest is to be paid
on landed security. which is consequently improved
Politicians regard the decree virtual declara-
tion Of President McKiney's intention to occupy
the island for two years at least.
The decree as originally submitted to Washing
ton excluded debtors who were bankrupt beiore
General Weyler's decree from the benefits OF the
extension. As modified the decree embraces all
debtors. At least s1Oo.coo.oO is involved, and the
question has been the cause OF unending discus
sion which has added materially 10 the unrest or
the four months OF the American occupation. Nu-
merous private agreements regarding debts will now
go into effect. and a large amount OF new sugar
machinery will be purchased.
Major General Leonard Wood is not willing TO
have the Judgments OF the Santiago Supreme Court
annuIled or suspended in consequence OF the crea-
ton of the Supreme Court for the island. He
believes he authorized by orders from the
War Department 10 establish a court II he thought
Il necessary but the article In the Peace Treaty
bearing on the subject stipuates as headquarters
here reads 1t. that there should be no change In
the courts until the ratlncatons or the treaty had
been exchanged.

TO SWEEP THE COUNTRY OF SMALL BANDS
OF INSURGENTS.

did not receive any information to-day from
General Otis respecting developments IN tns
campaign about Calumpit 1t is said now tha'
while it was part OF the plan for Lawton' nov
ing westward from Norzagaray, to take tne
rebels in the rear at caiumpit and crush 'ne"
between his own force and that OF MacAr'h"r'
this was not the only purpose OF mis- eSpedi''oh'
The principal object was to clear the country
back to the foothills OF the numerous sma'
bodies OF insurgents who have been harassins
tho American troops by forays at unexpected
times and places

succeeded in his purpose. and that when ne mas
effected a junction with Macarthur north OF

paratively short line Of works across country
and prevent the return Of the insurgents from
the north.
