Rebels Driven Out.
Washington, April 12.-The follow
ing dispatch has been received from
General Otis:
Manila, April Q. --Adjutant-General
Washington: Lawton's command cap
tured Santa Cruz. the chief city of La
Guna Bay, this morning Casualties
six wounded. Insurgent troops driven,
leaving sixty-eight dead on the field
and large number wounded. Consider
able number captured Lawton will
push westward OTIs.v
Santa Cruz was the Filipinos strong
hold in Lake La Guna Bay, and it fell
into the hands OF General Law toms ex-
petition after some sharp, quick firing,
forming one OF the most interesting
and important battles OF the war.
The plans OF the American com
manders worked perfectly, with the
exception that the progress Of the ex-
petition was delayed by the difficult
navigation of the river. About 1900
picked men, commanded by General
Lawton, on account OF the Illness Of
General King, partly surrounded the
city, while the gunhoats La Guna de
Bay, Oesta, and Napidan, under the
command OF Captain Grant of the Utah
battery, shelled the city and outlying
trenches.
General Lawton and his staff accom-
panied the troops, sometimes leading
charges in Indian fighting tactics,
which eventually resulted in the COM
plete ront OF the rebels with the small
EST amount of damage to the city and
slight loss to the Americans.

RELIGION IN IT. P1 N.

A press dispatch from Japan an
the japanese government had promul-
gated a decree which went into effect
August 4th, providing that all religious
sects, whether Christian or pagan.
must comply with certain severe regu-
lations and restrictions affecting the
right of freedom in worship. 1t was
stated that persons desiring to engage
in the teaching of religion must report
to the local governor all particulars
concerning the church, it's finances, the
scheme of faith, plan of extension and
the personal and religious history of
the applicants. Before building a
church or temple permission must be
secured, showing why such building is
needed date when it will be completed;
name of building; where located name
of religion; method of control and
maintenance, and qualifications of the
preacher or priest. The building must
be completed according to agreement
or the permit will be forfeited, and per-
mission must be secured for any
changes contemplated.
The secretary of the Japanese lega-
ton at Washington, having his atten-
ton called to this report, questions its
entire accuracy, but explains that in
any case there is no intention on the
part of his government to interfere with
the religious beliefs and creeds of for
eigners On the contrary, he declares
that foreigners in Japan can worship
as freely in their churches as they can
in Washington, only they must con-
form to few requirements regarding

FOR 4 CHEAP hook POST.

The inquiry started by the New Eng
land Education league, to test the views
of librarians, educators and others, on
the subject of a cheap book post, has
resulted in the gathering of a quantity
of views heartily in favor of the prof.
ect The reasons for the inquiry were
the prevalent unequal library condi-
lions found everywhere, which it is be-
lieved comprehensive carrier system
would do much to remedy. A cheap
book post would tend to diffusc library
advantages and to bring individuals
and towns within reach of goca CEN
trail libraries. The plan Of central IL
braries with branches and delivery
places, which works we'll in large cities,
might thus be judiciously applied to
small cities and rural sections. Newspa-
pers, magazines, and paper-co-ered Sc
rial books, sent out by private publish
ers and corporations, are now carried at
one cent per pound while library book
costs, for mailing, eight cents per pound.
In New Hampshire books are now loan
ed quite extensively about the State
from the State Library, being sent by
express, and the librarian writes that
"were it possible to cend books by mail
al one cent pound we should have our
hands full to keep up with the de-
mand." Ex-Postmastcr General James
writes that "if the government can af-
ford to carry newspapers and periodi-
calls at a loss, for the sake of dissent
mating intelligence it can carry books
for libraries without great additional
Ioss;" and w. f. Villas of Wisconsin,
also an ex-Postmaster General, adds:
"The postal service has been a pack
horse of special interests of private
nature at the general cost; why should
it not carry for educational advance
To further the matter, a committee Is
ment?" To further the matter COM
mittee is being organized representing
every State in the Union.

stockings and shoes. Next 1t came to
be quite fad with the girls to fancy

is taken, and the girl who plays golf

some girls omit the hat--very stocky
looking shoes that may be patched and

details. Fitted golf trousers of cloth
are met by the golf hose, and there you
are, no matter how the wind blows!
Just as soon as the wearers of such
get-ups realize that they are not as
pretty as the usual pictures of girls
a-golfing, they'll come back to feminine
standards and find some way to put
frills and flutters on it. Perhaps then
they'll be ready to look at the pretty
silk waists along shirt waist lines that
will be worn in fall by those lucky
enough to have them, much as shirt
waists are worn in summer. There is
scarcely an end to their frills. Here
is one of white taffeta, the sleeves
alternate bands of lace and tucks and
the front tucked and frilled vertically.

them, but will be beneficial in afford
ing them the protection of the govern
ment.
Before the new treaties entered into
by Japan with foreign governments
went into effect recently, foreigners in
Japan were subject only to the laws
of the countries of which they We're
citizens. Churches and church property
of foreigners were under the protection
of their own governments. Under the
new conditions foreigners must abide
by the laws and regulations of Japan,
precisely as foreigners in this country
do.

EXP Il NSION or THE RIGHT KIND

EXPA NSION or THE RIGHT KIND
There is one kind Of expansion which
all good Americans will unite in be-
lieving in. Louis M. Gross and twenty
five other American bridge-builders
sailed yesterday at noon on the steamer
Majestic for Rangoon, Burmah, by way
Of Liverpool. They go to build VIA
duct across the Gotkek gorge, several
miles from Rangoon. The viaduct will
be $500 feet long and 800 feet high at
it's greatest altitude. Foreman Gross
carried with him the British and Amer
lean flags. which will be unfurled at the
highest point of the viaduct upon its
completion. In addition to the material
which was taken on the Majestic two
thousand tons more will be shipped next
week. In addition to the structural
material there will be a plant including
an air compressor which is used for
riveting.
The Burmese will have a good oppor-
tunity to see how viaduct ought to be
built and is built.

The 100000 people occupying the

round terms it may be said that the cur
rency of the countries lying south of

$1450 per capita paper That the paper
currency is extremely uncertain in
character is shown by the fact that in

of that country is but one-fourth of it's

In the neighborhood Of the iron-ore
calcining kilns at Kotterback, In Upper
Hungary, it was found'that injury was
done to the vegetation by the waste
gases, which contain sulphurous acid
and mercury vapors. For the correc-
ton of this evil, as well as for the re-
covery Of the quicksilver, it was deter
mined to collect and purify the waste
gases. This is effected by dividing the
kilns into three groups, from each of
which the gases are conducted into a
wooden tower containing two CRATES
covered with limestone, on which water
plays The gases in traversing the tow
er in direction opposite to that of the
falling water are cooled and condensed,
the sulphurous anhydride being dissolv-
ed, and act on the limestone. The
quicksilver is also condensed and COL
lected.
