sued by Edward Atkinson, of Boston,
vice president of the Anti-Imperialistic
league. Postmaster General Smith
made this statement p @ s5:.@ ny :
these pamphlets actually incite to
mutiny, and It would be utterly unjustit1a-
BILE to permit their circulation among the
soldiers in the Philippines. Their circula-
ton is a movement to induce the soldiers
to disobey orders and in effect to en-
barrass and resist the government IN
whose services they are engaged. Their
circulation, except in the mails for the
Philippines, is not interfered with. be-
cause. in being sent to Manila. they are
destined for soldiers fighting our battles;
but in this country the effort to 1nc1te to
mutiny could have no result. Not only are
they designed to incite to mutiny the Amer
lean soldiers in those islands. but also to
foment and encourage instruction on the
part of the Filipinos themselves. Such Sc
ditious literature as now estopped might
have an effect on the forces we now are
dealing with that would be intellectually to
their advantage and certainly would tend
to stimulate and strengthen their already
weakening opposition. The law covering
the case is ample. What action might be
taken-and the offense is OF the gravest
character-is not to be discussed. I do not
believe there is any intention to prose-
cute Mr.. Atkinson, as the matter now
stands. The authority to do so, however,
is plain. He not only attacks the presi-
dent and the government in the most viru-
lent language and disputes the national
policy, but also calls on the American
troops to defy the government: Certainly
this government is empowered to stop or
check, as it sees fit. the circulation OF
these seditious publications.

San Juan de Porto Rico, May A.
Porto Rico will soon enjoy first-class
postal service First Assistant Post
master General Perry Heath arrived
here fortnight ago and has visited
every nook and corner of the lsland'
accompanied by Capt. w. II. Elliott, d.
rector general of posts in Porto Rico,
and Inspector Moore, to get an intelll-
gent idea of the needs of the island in
this respect.
Money Orders.
Under the new system domestic and
international money orders will soon
be issued at all the offices; San Juan,
Ponce and Mayaguez will have free de-
livery, the mails will be transported
across the island by new and up to date
equipment and the entire management
of the postal service will be conferred in
the director generals Office here. The
new system will be a miniature Of that
in vogue in the United States.
Good Future.
Mr.. Heath speaks in the highest
terms of the Porto Ricans and is en-
thusiastic over the future of the is
land. He favors it's rapid Americaniza-
ton and the introduction of American
laws and methods, advocating the en-
ployment of intelligent Porto Ricans
in the various post offices, under the di-
rection of experienced American postal
officials.
The possibility of distress has been
avoided by the employment of native
laborers, who might have suffered on
account of the bad condition of the
plantations after the war.

Coleridge, Neb.. May I. - A prairie
fire burning in the hay flats along the
northern tier of counties of Nebraska,
ten miles from here, passee; into the
track of a tornado and was swept with
the speed of the wind across this coun-
ty for IS miles, destroying everything
in its path.
The property damage is known to
reach the thousands, though the only
lives lost, so far as known, were those
of Mrs. Rolla Livingston and her five
year-old boy. ~
A number of large lunches of cattle
were overtaken and consumed in the
path of the seething mass carried along
in the teeth of the tornado. A large
number of families escaped only by
racing beyond the limits of the track
of the storm.
The path of the fire was nearly one
mile wide and the farmers beyond the
fire belt managed to put out the flames
along the bottoms after the tornado
had passed over.
