Crowds have visited the scenes of
last weeks fighting. All the roads
from the city were thronged with
vehicles. But beyond burned villages
and new mounds in the fields, there
was little to be seen. Inspection showed
that most of the enemy's dead had re-
manned at their posts to the last, as the
bodies We're usually surrounded by
empty cartridges, while in the trenches,
wherever there We're dead, there was
little ana often no ammunition.
Among the distinguished prisoners
captured i'll Manila since the outbreak
OF hostilities are Captain A. G. Es-

Captain E. P. Varagua and Senior Tomas
Del Rosario, member Of the so.called

EXTRA SESSION.
Growing Belief That Congress viii BE
Called Together in October,

Washington, May 7.-There is a growing
belief among prominent members of con-
sress that the president will call congress
to meet in extraordinary session this fall
probably early in October.
The questions which will come before
the next congress for settlement, includ-
ing as they do everything growing out of
our possessions acquired as a result of
the war with Spain and the general leg
islation. including that relating to cur
rency reform, the Nicaragua canal, mer-
chant marine, etc. are OF such great i'm
portance that the president is inclined to
regard it as advisable that congress
should meet earlier than the regular SEES
sion in December in order to get the work
under way.
The retirement of Speaker Reed will nat
urally entail considerable delay in the APP
pointment of committees in the house. as
II is customary to allow Il new speaker
four or t1ve weeks to MAKE up his COM
mittees, and this furnishes an additional
reason why congress should be convened
before December.
