The governor general has decided to alter
the law issued over year ago making
marriages by religious forms alone Illegal
and requiring civil ceremony. The new
law VIII make any priest or clergyman of
recognized religious denomination "a civil
officer when performing marriages. and will
make ii necessary for the officiating clergy
man to report such marriages to the civil
authorities. This will be welcomed by
large majority of the Cubans, especially the
women, who never liked the idea that the
only legal marriage was a civil one.
A number of employers have made ap-
plication to Mayor Rodriguez to permit
them to keep their stores open until 10
O'Clock at night counter application will
be made on behalf of the employees The
The employers say that the decree oblig1ng
them to close their establishments at 8
O'Clock is an invasion of the rights of tax
payers, who should have the right TO pur-
chase the necessaries of life as late as the
stores choose to keep open. They also
make the strange argument that when the
stores close early the clerks spend money
which they would otherwise save. Natur-
ally, the clerks are indignant at what they
call this one-sided way of looking at the

COMING TO CONSULT MCKINLEY.
Gen. Wood Wishes to Settle on Policy
i'm, Cx,In

A dispatch from Havana last night says:
Governor General Wood has definitely de-
cided to leave for the United States on Sat
urday next. He says he desires to consult
President Mckinley with regard to certain
matters connected with Cuba. The gov
ernor general adds that the island is in as
prosperous condition as it can possibly be
until a definite plan of some kind for its
future has been settled upon, and that the
United States government has gone in the
direction of giving the Cubans self-govern-
ment as fast possible under the condi-
lions found. He is satisfied, from assur-
ances received from various parts of the
island given not only by the highest Of
ficials, but by men Of wealth and in
fiuence, who do not desire office, that a
great majority of the Cubans are satisfied
with what has been done toward keeping
the promises made to the Cuban people.
Governor General Wood considers the pro-
posed constitutional convention as one of
the most important events in the history of
the island-a practical Gaping to the stone
work already erected. He says that In the

A Sharp Fight and Victory.

Early on the morning of April Is he
left Badoc and struck into the mountains
so as to head the valleys of Cullebeng and
at about . O'Clock struck a large party of
insurgents under GregOrio Aglipay, and in
fight lasting one hour he killed forty-nine
insurrectOs, mOrtally wounded four and
captured forty-four prisoners also large
number of small swords, boIos, a few
Mausers and ammunition, ten horses with
saddles and brides He burned a large

houses supplies and large quantities of
rice, as also the barrio of Cullebeng and
several other places in that vicinity show
ing indications of being insurrecto resorts
From the prisoners he learned that there
were $50 men and 20 guns with the party.
The surprise of Aglipays party was alb
solute and followed with such rapidity that
they could not use their wea ponS effective

result of this sharp engagement is more
creditable when 1t is understood that it
occurred in what can be best described as

CLEANING OUT INSURGENTS

The War Department has received a
most interesting report from Captain Geo.
A. Dodd, Sd Cavalry, of operations in north
western LuZon with Troop F. Sd Cavalry,
from April S to May 3. 1900. inclusive.
Troop F, of which Captain Dodd is the
commanding officer, is the cavalry troop
which, through its participation IN several
military tournaments at Madison Square
Garden. New York, and its visits II va
rious points in New England. gained an
enviabe reputation in expert horsenanship
and military drill. well for its thor
ough discipline and gentlemanly conduct of
officers and men. 1t was formerly sta toned
at Fort Myer and is well remembered here.
Vigan, in the province of Ilocos Sur. at
which this troop has been stationed for
some months. is seaport and the capital
of the province. has a population of about
10000 and is DIS miles due north of Manila
1t is also the capital of the bShopric of

river and scouting northMard II Patac.
1t was not until he had reached the barrio
of Paciencia. not far from The BADGE river
on the night of the 18th. tha- conditions be-
came at all suspicious. Here he found the
houses deserted and an apparent dearth of
male population, with every indication that
they We're engaged in other than peaceful
pursuits. Dividing his command into three
detachments. working on parallel lines. he
secuted the country INTO BADGE without en-
countering any opposition, but N the con-
viction that the insurgents in some force
were somewhere ahead Of MIN.
As an evidence of the cunning of the in
surgents Captain Dodd recites several in
stances to show that our orthodox mode of
scouting is of little or 10 avail against
these people On striking some oe the main
trails he found them brushed or swept all
traces of footprints being obliterated. This
was done by punches of twigs. some of
which being found, showed Indications of
sweeping in both directions and some of
these trails being fol! owed usually led to &

night before. He thereuDJn communicated
with Lieutenant Mckinley, who had been
left at BADGE. with instructions to scout up
the river and this scout resulted in the
capture OF eight bolo men and the burning
of a small barriO.
Sending detachment down the main road
toward BADGE, Captain Dndi preceded with
the balance of his troop to Paoag. from
which point he went south m two columns
About three miles south one of the detach-
ments, under Lieutenant Gritty, sighted a
party of insurrectos, who scattered at the
sight of our troops. From these Indications
he became satisfied thai the attack on Car

the insurrectos toward the coast indicated

Mr.. Scott yesterday addressed the Senat,
on the Spooner Philippine resolution. He
made lengthy argument in favor OF re-

Mr.. Pettigrew then spoke on the Ies1lu,io-.

Mr.. Pettigrew declared that the Filipincs
were not bloodthirs.y savsges. as had been

covered the islands. She could never havs
conquered them"
He read from the statement made ty
General Merritt. to the effect that Span
could Fever have recaptured the Island Of
Luzon. He also read from a letter witt N
by General Andersen. in which he staieI
that he was the first man to tell Admiral
Dewey that the Urited States GoyernSeit

General Otis lied when he informed the

Mr.. Foraker-Mr. President I do not
rise for the purpose OF making any defence
OF my colleague (Mr. Hanna) as against
the attacks that have been made upon him
in this Chamber today, because In the
first place. and most particularly, 1t is
not necessary for me or anybody else to
make defence for him. He is capable at
all times, and has demonstrated 1t ever
and over again, OF taking care Of himself:
and never more conclusiveIy has he
demonstrated 1t than here today in re-
pelling the assault that has been so un-
necessarily and so unceremoniously and so
without any justification whatever made
upon him.
What rise for. Mr.. President. is simply
to call attention to calm. dispassionate
statement that had effect with all the peo-
pie Of Ohio, and will have effect with all
the people of the United States when they
are familiar with it, as to the matters
about which the Senator from South Da-
kota has spoken.
''The statement to which I refer"
concluded Mr.. Foraker. was made
by a member of the committee that In
vestigated these alleged charges on behalf
Of the Senate Of Ohio. That member was
James r. Garfield. He is yet young man,
but. Mr.. President he is known all over
