Mu. 'Arthur lis carried San Tomas. after
encountering a strong resistance. Goner,

General Wheeler attacked the left, in a
daring charge. In which Colonel Funslon
again distinguished himself. Tha Kan.
sail was wounded In the hand, and sev.
eral other officer and enlisted men were
also wounded. Colonel Summers, with
part of the Oregon and Minnesota regi
ments, and a gun of the Utah battery,
took Maslm on the right, resting four
miles from San Fernando. The Filipinos
atv retreating toward San Isador, and It
is expected will make a stand at Ararat,
at which place the whole of the rebel
forces In the province of Panpanga Is
concentrating. It Is reported that, Im.
pressed by recent events, the Filipinos
are wavcritur In their allegiance to the
Insurrection, and are likely to assume a
neutral attitude. It seems that General
Luna's forces are destined to destruction
within a few days, unless they surrender
or scatter.
Instead of inking this course, MacAr.

M'KINLBY'S QUESTIONS TO
THE BEEF INQUISITION.
Its Report Will Consist of a Series of
Replies of Which no Notice Was
Given General Miles.
NE. WYORK, May 4.-A special to ihe
Time from Washington says: From an
administration source It Is learned that
the beef Inquiry Is a reply In a series
of answers to the questions put by the
president to the members of the board.
These questions. It I known, were not
made until about the last week of the
inquiry. They were presented by the re.
;order of the board a showing the ex
pectations of the president. Neither
eneral Miles nor Major Lee, hi repre.
sentatlve before the board, had heard of
he questions until they were read Just
before the board wa ready to make a
report: Indeed, at a time when It was
ascertained that the board had pactly
made up Its report.
Frjm another source it Is ascertained
hat the board found that It would be
littleiilt to make a report that would
be satisfactory unless some such a list
of questions was propounded so as to
give the board an opportunity to make
categorical answers. The board did not
possess wide powers. General Miles has
held the opinion. It has been repeatedly
asserted, that It had no legal form. It I
was not a court of Inquiry, for such
courts are called only at the request
