New Sect in Russia. ST. PETERSBURG, April 23.-M3onsld-erable attention Is being given a new sect, which .has gained many -adherents In the Province of Perm. It Is known as the sect of Jehovlsts, though Its real name Is "Brotherhood of the Right Hand." Its declared purpose Is the re conciliation of all religions. Latterly It has assumed a character of pronounced enmity to the government. This Is at tributed to personal reasons, Colonel Illn, the founder, having spent 20 years In solitary confinement In a monastery for abjuring the orthodox faith. The Rus sian Government and church assume that any one who obstinately persists in leav ing the orthodox church s insane or possessed of devils and some times ex ercise the right to treating such persons precisely as mad men. Their property may be placed under a curatorshlp and their children under guardianship, while they themselves may be Immured In a monastery until there Is evidence of re stored sanity, that Is, until they, declare their willingness to return to Orthodoxy.

It Is time that the American people knew what the war in the Philippines means. I don't wish to draw comparisons between the two people we are fighting. The effect of the victory will be the same-the progress of civilization and enlightenment of the nations and the glory of the flag. In South Africa, Kitchener has been left to sweep up the people who ore spread over the country In small detachments over large territory. In the Philippines, Gen eral Chaffee has something of the same difficult task.

FORCES AGAIX OC CUPY THE BAXAXA PORT. Threat to Bombard the Tovrn Brought AbOBt the Capitulation Part Played by Americans. COLON, Colombia, April 23. The Ger man steamer Hercynla, which left this port for Bocas del Toro .several days ago, with reinforcements of government troops en board, returned here this morning and announced that Bocas del Toro, which was captured by the Insurgents April 18, was again In possession of the government. The timely arrival of the reinforcements on the Hercynla, and a threat of bom bardment on the .part of the government gunboat General PInzon, Impelled the In surgents to capitulate to the government forces. Shortly after the arrival of the United States gunboat Machias at Bocas del Toro, April 14, the captain of the gunboat, Lieutenant-Commander Henry McCrea, noti fied the Liberals located at Old Bank, a settlement on an Island, about two miles from Bocas, that the gasoline launches and the barges belonging to the United Fruit Company must be returned to their ownera within 36 hours. Before this specified time had elapsed and by means of the launches and barges In question, the Liberal forces at Old Bank effected a landing at Bocas. This occurred early in the morning of Thursday, April IS. The Liberals Immediately attacked the In trenchments of the government troops, and a stubborn fight ensued, which lasted all day. In the evening the government forces, finding they were outnumbered by the Liberals, and that they had only 5000 rounds of ammunition left, decided to sur render. They handed the town of Bocas over to Lieutenant-Commander McCrea", who had It policed Thursday night. He handed the town over to Colonel Buendla the following morning. Previous reports of the number of killed In the Bocas en gagement were exaggerated. It 'how ap pears that on both sides only 25 men were killed and 35 wounded. The government forces lost eight men killed. Upon the arrival of the gunboat General PInzon off Bocas Saturday morning, no tice was given that her commander In tended to bombard the town at the ex piration of 24 hours. As the Liberal forces were without cannon and unable to hold Bocas, they finally agreed to surrender the town. Under the terms of this sur render, 36 hours were given the Liberals to retreat to Chlrlqul Grande with the arms and ammunition they had brought with them, but they were not allowed to take what they had capured at Bocas. The capitulation further set forth that the Liberals must evacuate Chlrlqul Grande 20 hours after arriving there. At the expiration of the 36 hours which the revolutionists were given to evacuate Bocas, they left the town In the launches and barges belonging to the United Fruit Company. It Is rumored that when the government forces entered Bocas yester day they found that money had been taken from the treasury building. It Is further reported that property of the Chi nese merchants at Bocas had been looted. The government authorities are quite dis satisfied over the terms of capitulation. The Machias Is still at Bocas. She Is ex pected to return to Colon shortly. WASHINGTON.

Politics in the Amalgamated Asso ciation Northern Pacific Machin ists May Go on Strike. CINCINNATI, April 23. The attorneys for the brewers of Cincinnati, Covington and Newport today announced that Sec retary Morrison and other officers of the American Federation of Labor and the general officers of the International Union of Engineers and other Involved last night In revoking the charter of the local union of engineers and In other measures In opposition of the order of Judge Holllster would be brought Into court for contempt on the ground that the revocation Is In line with intimidation, which was espe cially enjoined. They will have war rants go out, but will not mention the names of those for whom they are issued. The American Federation and the Unions have made no answer to the temporary Injunction, and there will be no arguments until those who have been enjoined ask for a hearing. Meantime, the brewers and their counsel are proceeding on the assumption that the order of Judge Hol llster has been disregarded and violated. In the controversy between the en gineers and firemen on one side and the United Brewery Workers on the other, the American Federation ordered the engi neers to "shut off steam where nonunion brewery workers were employed after lost Monday. On Monday, the brewery pro prietors secured an Injunction, and the engineers and firemen yesterday obeyed the order of the court Instead of the order of the executive council of the American Federation.

The Amalgamated Association committees are wrestling with the reports. The commit tee on good of the order has an Interesting fight on the proposition to remove the headquarters from Pittsburg. The West ern lodges favor removing the offices far ther West, but the division of the oppo sition to Pittsburg may result In the re tention of the headquarters at that place. Another proposition the good of the order committee Is considering Is the plea of the National Stogiemakers for recog nition of their league Independent of the CIgarmakers. The committee on constitution and gen eral law Is considering a proposition to repeal the law prohibiting discussion of political or economic topics. The social ists are back of this, and their claim Is that. Instead of assuming a nonpartisan attitude, the association should take an active Interest In political economy. It Is not likely this proposition will meet with favor. An effort Is also being made to Increase the treasury so that the associa tion will be in better shape to take care of the strikers and pay benefits. It Is probable President Shaffer's report will receive the Indorsement of the com mittee to which it was referred. Shaffer's chances of succeeding himself have In creased largely since his report was sub mitted Monday, but the opposition to him Is strong, and there are Intimations of a bombshell being exoloded on the floor of the convention that will cause a reaction against him.
