A Battle Near BOcave.

Manila. April 24.-At o'clock this

conjunction with three companies Of
the Minnesota regiment from Guiginto,
north of Bocave. encountered rebel
force numbering fully 500, when two
miles OUT. The rebels retired three
miles in fairly good order, in spite Of
the fact that they suffered heavy losses.
The Americans, having exhausted their
ammunition, were compelled to re-
turn to their camps. The heat is in
tense. At noon the thermometer regis.
tered 95 degrees and the mercury was
still rising. There were several pros.
trations from heat among the troops.
but only one man was wounded. La
ter, army tugs opened fire on the en-.
envy along the river banks.
The rebels are unusually active
from Malclos as far as Calumpit.
They have been discovered within
two miles of the railroad. Fires are
burning east of the II oal, and il
would appear that the rebels are evacu,
ating the foothill towns in authorization
of an attack upon the part of the
American troops.

Telegrams Counseling the Volunteers

ed-Discussed by Cabinet.

Washington. April 24.-The cabinet
TODAY discussed traitors and the laws OF
treason in relation to the Philippines.
The president preferred policy OF
liberality and tolerance until recently.
when there came into the possession OF
the administration evidence incriminat-
ing United States citizens furthering
the sedition.
Certain individuals, it is known to
the government, have been trying not
only to aid Agunaldo. but weaken the
army by spreading disconten among
the volunteers. Telegraph messages
from anti-expansionists, Jealous to
gain political advantage, have been in
tercepted. encouraging volunteer Off
GERS and men to demand their return
from the Philippines on the ground
that peace has been declared. The
messages even counseled the volunteers
to 60 to the length Of refusing further
to serve in the Philippines.
What the president will do is not yet
decided. 1t will not be surprising # a
warning in the shape Of a message will
remind the mischief-makers that there
is serious law against treason which
will be enforced if any further attempt
is made to tamper with the men at the
front.

Them to Quit.
Washington, April 22.-The deter
N ination to send regulars to take the
places OF volunteers in the Phillp-
pines is believed to have dampenlng
effect upon those who are encouraging
the Filipinos by their utterances IN
this country. The Filipinos are no
fools, and if their leaders see that the
United States means business. they
will seek terms. If the order for CALL
ing out the S5,0 provisional army
was issued, it would have good effect.
not only upon the Filipino leaders, but
the Cubans who may be inclined to
make trouble.
The volunteers are coming home,
and, according to previous orders, the
Oregon men will be among the first to
return. Under the law. all volunteers
should have been released from service
as soon as the peace treaty was signed.
Congress provided for this by authoriz-
ing the enlistment OF $4,000 men to
take the place Of the volunteers. The
wal departments plans first contem'
plated keeping the state volunteers IN
service and avoiding the necessity OF
provisional army. The advice Of mill
tary men is to the effect that this
plan is absurd. and the authority
granted by congress will have to be
used.

Yorktown Party May Have Been Killed

Manila, April eat may be that
Lieutenant Gilmore and the IA men
from the Yorktown lost at Baler were
killed by the Spaniards. General
Rios today said the Baler garrison did
not know the war was over between
Spain and the United States. although
an officer was sent in January to notify
them. They disbelieved the officer
and feared an attack Of insurgents.
Rios does not believe the Spaniards
killed the party, as the fort is too far
from the river. and is beseiged by ma
tives.
Admiral Dewey says Gilmore and the
men were sent from the Yorktown to

stead went further up above bend,

General d. Pierce, for the Orange Free

the new treaty of extradition between
the two countries. The new treaty
does not contain the original section

sought; but. instead, the provision is
merely permissive, ena bling a country

The effort to provide homes in this
country and Canada for the Russian
sect called the Doukhobors, of whom
the total number Is about 10000, gives
prominence to one of the most curious
religious bodies that are to be found
anywhere in the world The real title
Of the body Is the Universal Brother
hood Christians, and it was first heard
of in 1850. The leaders trace their orr
gin to the English quakers, although
there are now remaining few traces of
the parent religion. They are described
as ''peaceable, simple and devout. and
they live the communal life At one
time they numbered more than 10000,
but prosecutions and efforts to rcprcss
them in Russia have reduced their num-
Der about one-half Their form of be-
lief is peculiar and strange. They deny
the existence of a personal God, and
their doctrine of the Trinity is that
Memory is God the Father, Reason is
God the Son and Will is God the Holy
Ghost. They believe in the immortality
of the soul, but hold that an infant Is
soulless and that it does not possess a
soul until the fifteenth or sixteenth
year of it's life. They deny human au-
thority over them and denOunce the
forcing Of one man to do the bidding of
another, but they are in no sense reyO-
lutiOnists and their only resistance to
the government Is their refusal to take
up arms in its behalf. Their domestic
nf,c ,lT,,e
Their family ties are based entirely
upon mutual love and affection, but
their marriages, or unions, are binding
upon neither husband nor wife. They
have been most inhumanly prosecuted
In Russia. In August, 1899, the entire
body was banished to Siberia under a
ukase that provided that they should be
kept for life at hard labor and that
they should never have the chains re-
moved from their hands and feet" In
1872 they were permitted to cO!onize n
Siberian farm, but in 1899 their farm
was seized and the able bodied men
were all forced into the army. In 1860
they were permitted to return to Rus

The popular idea of the upper class
FrenchwOman is that she is exceeding
ly fond of dress and style, and the de-

serious side of her nature is not so well

women of the better class there is an
order numbering eighty thousand mem
bers, whose aim Is the alienation of

fire in public inn or hotel to collect a

against fatal consequences from them

The eminent scientist, Prof. Koch. of

the professor succeeded in capturing
