LOUIS, May 2.—The most impor- tant features of the afternoon session of the Presbyterian General Assembly was the bobbing up again of the Peoria over- ture, which was thought to have been given a rest by adoption at the morning sessfon and the appointment of the creed revision committee. One of the New York commissioners offered two amend- ments as substitutes to the sections of the Peoria overture, which provide for the number of members of the standing committees and the appolntment of chair- men. The substitutes provide that an ad- ditional member shall be on each commit- tee and that the moderator shall appoint the chairmen of the committees. Ac- tion will be taken on the amendments before final adjournment of the assem- ‘I'he greater part of the afternoon was occupied by reports of committees. Dur- ing the dzscusslon of the report from the committee on temperance, Rev. Hugh Lamont of the Presbytery ~of Puget Sound offered an amendment protesting against the existence by officlal permis- sion of liquor selling in the canteens of the army of the United States. This caused a heated debate. The com- mittee had announced that it had aimed to draw up a temperate report and be- cause a canteen section was in the report made by the committee last year no allu- slon was made to it in this year's report. The standing committee rested on the declaration that “while deploring the ex- istence and the evils of traffic in intoxi- cating liquors in all parts of the United States, we heartlly commend the efforts of the Government to suppress intemper- ance, and urge that the immoral traftic be restrained and as rapldly as possibie be abolished by all legitimate means in all places under the jurisdiction of the United States.” Dr. Lamont's amendment was adopted. Moderator Dickey named the following ministers and elders as members of the creed revision committee: Drs. Herrick Johnson of Illinois, 8. G. | Nicholls of Missouri, D. W. Fisher of In- | alana, George B. Stewart of New York, Wiilliam _ McKibben of Pennsylvania, Samuel P. Sprecher of Ohio, Benjamin R. Warfleld of New Jersey and 8. W, Dana and Elders D. R. Noyes of Minnesota, k. ansylvania, John Parsons of New O e amin Harrison, former Preal. dent, of Indiana, Elisha Fraser of Michi- gan and Justice John M. Harlan of Balti- more. Dr. Charles A. Dickey of Pennsylvania was appointed chairman of the committee by the assembly. STUDENTS IN FARCE. Entertainment Given by the San Ra- fael High School Well Patronized. Special Diepatch to The Call.

Meanwhile Major M. h, in pursuit of Aguinaldo, had met and routed General Gregario del Pilar’s forces in the Tila Pass, General Pilar receiving his death wound'in this engagement. _Continuing as to the further pursuit and final recapture of both Ameri and Spanish prisoners the report says: Tinfo used ev able of to mislead the d cover trail of who had been sent on officers and 150 men as At this juncture Lieutenant Al Young's staff, received the Majc ad, ' from whom much valuable was obtained, Leaving C: ith eighty foot-sore and shoeless men from the two commands to al guard. Tayes, of Gen surrender of grard the mouth of the canyon against the forces of Tinfo and Natividad, those iron- nerved officers, Hare and Howse, who had consolidated their forces of egually daring men, pushed on with flerce determination to overtake the prisoners and their guard. There fs sufficlent evidence to show that Tinlo had given orders that prisoners falling out from exhaustion should be bayoneted, From time to time unmistakable evidence of the presence of the prisoners was found along the trail and acted as an additional Incentive to both officers and men to redouble thelr ef- | forts to overtake their unfortunate country- men. About 4 p. m. on the 16th a signal from the advance guard warned them that they were in the presence of a possible enemy. A recon. noissance developed a party of insurgents, and in the rush five of their number were killed and ten taken prison, With this detachment were McDonald, Fitzgerald and Farley, Ameri- can prisoners who were recaptured. Lieutenant Gilmore had left the place with the rest of the prisoners early that morning, but when overtaken the following day, the 17th, had been abandoned by his guard, ‘who had learned o the proximity of the purs forces. On the 17th of December, General Concepclon and staff, consisting of five officers and six enlisted men, were captured by Major March. On January 1 Aguinaldo’s wife and sister, two sisters of Colonel Leyba, of Colonel Sitayer, the wife of Lieutenant Cristobal, Colonel Sitayer, Lieutenant Colonel Paez, three officers of lesser rank and ten or twelve s vants, all belonging to_the retinue of Aguin- aldo, were sent in by March. Then follows the first official mention of the exploit of Second Lieutenant Mun- roe of the Fourth Cavalry, who while in command of a small detachment tele- graphed into Bayombong that he was ap- proaching the town in large force and de- manding the surrender of the place. The ruse was successful and the vastly supe- rlor forces of the enemy lald down their arms. Continulng the report says: Castner’s Long March. Lieutenant Castner, with his detachment of Lowe's scouts, on Bayombong, where he found Second enant “Munroe of the Fourth Cavalry ommand of a small de- tachment, negotfating for the surrender of the place. Lisutenant Castner generously deferred to Lieutenant Munroe and allowed him to re- ceive the surrender of General alds and the forces garrisoning the town. s connection it may be stated that the march of Lieutenant Castner's detachment, covering_a perfod from November 10 to De- cember 21, 18 one of the most remarkable on record, and it is probably the longest con- tinuous march made during the insurrection. Captain McCalla of the United States navy recefved the surrender of General Tirona and the insurgent forces in the province of Caya- gan at Aparri. On January 5 Lieutenant Gilmore and the recaptured prisoners arrived at Vigan. At San TIsldro the first Spanish prisoners joined the column and from then on others at almost every town through which the troops passed. The advance was so rapld that it was not possibie to make lists at all places, but it is belleved that the total number of Spanish prisoners released by the command was 4000. In conclusion General Young extends his thanks to the officers and men of the navy for their cordial support and of the troops of his command, and says: They clung to the main purposes for which the campalgn was finaugurated and pursued In the course laid out for them with a tenacity | purpose and a physical endurance which, | of 1 think, far exceeded the highest expectation or_beilef of thelr country as they certainly did that of their general. —_— ROOKERIES BURNED. ‘Half Block of Chinatown in San Jose Destroyed. Spectal Dispatch to The Call, SAN JOSE. May 25.—A half-block of one-story_brick buildings on Sixth street, Chiintown, were destroyed by fite at an early hour this morning.

The accusation is based on the action of Chairman Curtis in personally proceeding in the matter of having repairs made to a bridge at Orangevale under what the Grand Jury claims was the unwarranted assumption that the repairs constituted an | emergency requiring immediate attention. The Grand Jury finds that the condition of emergency did not actually exist and that the action should not have been taken without a notice to contractors and the award of the work to the lowest bid- der, in compliance with the county gov- ernment act. The District Attorney is directed to press the accusation in’ the | courts. The city pi n is declared to be un: | for further use. The report condemns the practice of “ficating- the petty offenders out of town by withholding judgments of | conviction, to become a burden and terror to_the rural population. Friends of Supervisor Curtis, who comes from a_country district, assert that the | other Supervisors who authorized his ac- | tion in the bridge matter should have been held by the Grand Jury equally re- | sponsible with him if the actlon were in | fact lllegal. They also claim that Curtis | is an aspirant for re-election and that the | Grand_Jury contained three rival candi- | nd dates from the same district. |BOTH APPOINTEES PRESENT CLAIMS TO SENATORSHIPV Congress as Yet Has Taken No Defi- nite Action in Relation to Mon- tana’s Senatorial Muddle.
