Washington, M av 6 —President Mc­
Kinley lias talked with some of bis
congressional visitors about the ad­
visability of calling an extra session in
October to consider the disposition of
the currency ineasuie, so that it may
not interfere with legislation which
will come later for the government of
the new colonies. There is a great
deal of work to come before the next
congress and two months extra session
would help a great deal.
Great satisfaction was expressed at
ihe war department at tiie manner in
which Colonel Summers is going ahead
with the Second Oregon and winning
laurels for himself and regiment. As
fuitber details aie received concerning
the action of the Oregon regiment,
and especially as repotted in Manila
papers, officeis liete are loud in their
praise of the bovs and their officers.
While General Otis does not request
troops, he indicates that more could be
used to advantage. It is plain that
with 9,000 Filipinos near Manila and
towns asking for garrisons to protect
them, troops aie need«!. A call foi
35,000 more troops might have whole­
some effect upon the insurgents.
Washington, May 6.—The war de­
partment received the following dis­
patches today:
Manila, May 6.—Colonel Summers,
with six battalions, including the Seo-
ond Oregon, the Dakota regiment, the
Third infantry, and apiece of the Utah
light artillery, of Lawton’s division,
proceeded 'north
this morning to
Maasin, where they crossed tire river
ami charged the enemy in strong en­
trenchments, driving them northward
and inflicting considerable loss. His
casualties were two wounded.
Both Wheaton and Hale, of MacAr­
thur’s division, found the enemy in
force and strongly entrenched, and
commanded by Commander-in-Chief
Luna, about four miles south of ban
Fernando.
Hale, on the right, dislodged the
enemy, and Wheaton, on the left, lead­
ing in person, made a brilliant charge,
scattering his forces, inflicting great
punishment. Several officers and en­
listed men were seriously wounded.
MacArthur proceeds to San Fer­
nando in the morning, delayed by tin
partial destruction of the bridge across
the river. It is not believed that the
enemy will make another determined
stand until he effects his retreat to Ara-
yat, a short distance from San Isidro.
The situation is as follows: Lawton
holds Bali nag, taken May 2 after a
rapid movement from Angat, where he
left supplies with a wagon train, pack
animals and rations.
lie scattered
the strongly entrenched enemy to the
north and northwestward, capturing
large amount of food supplies, and has
his detachments thrown out to the
north and eastward. His successful
movement is attended with great diffi­
culty because of the cliaiacter of the
countiy and the rain and heat. He
now covers our railway communica­
tions, and will be supplied from Ma-
lolos.
MacArthur’s column was concen­
trated and took up the advance on San
Fernando at 6:30 this morni ng. We
do not apprehend a sharp resistance on
the part of the enemy, who will proba­
bly leave the railroad and retire in a
northwestely direction and to the
nortir of Lawton. The destruction of
the railroad near Calumpit necessitates
dependence on wagon transportation.
Tiie enemy to the south ami east of
Manila, 9,000 strong, is opposed by a
sufficient force under Ovenshiue and
Hall. His demonstrations thus far
have been ptoperly met by these offi­
cers, with slight losses. Many requests
have been received fiom outlying cities
for protection against insurgent troops.

San Francisco, May 8.—Advices from
the Nortiiwest confirm previous reports
that neatly half of the Yukon fleet is
fast in tiie ice, and will probably be
destroyed when the spring fresiiet
comes. Among the vessels in danger
is the Sherman, of the Alaska Explora­
tion Company. She is near Nulato,
and is on a sand bar in the middle of
the river, broadside ou the current.
Four miles from the mission is the
Dawson City, owned by a San Fran­
cisco firm. She is fast in the ice,
with no chance to escape. The Gov­
ernor Steneman, owned by Portland
capitalists, is about 25 miles above the
mouth of the Tanana river, and she
will probably break up when the fresh­
ets come. The May D is also doomed.
She is near Rampart City, fast iu
the ice in the middle of the liver. The
Trenton is close to the May D, and she
cannot escape
destruction.
The
Clutoo, owned in San Francisco; the
Seattle No. 1, of the Seattle Yukon
Company, and the City of Chicago,
owned by Chicago capitalists, are in
bunch a short distance above Ramp
City. They will probably be crush«,
to pieces with tiro first cake of ice that
comes down the river. The Robert
Kerr, the Seattle, the Sovereign, tire
Tacoma, the Arnold and the John C.
Barr are near Circle City, and tliere is
little hope that any of them will escape
destruction. All of these boats were
engaged in geneial freighting and
passenger business on the Yukon be­
tween St. Michaels and Dawson Citj.

Senator Addison G. Foster is work­
ing hard to bring a delegation of East­
ern senators and congressmen to tiie
coast to visit Washington and Alaska.
On their return East the senator would
have them visit other points of interest
and growing communities about which
little is known in the East. The most
influential men ol both houses, men
who are on the committees which have
to deal witli affairs of the West, and
particularly ol Puget sound, Alaska

Washington, May 9.—Bv direction
of tiie president, who approves tiie find­
ings, Acting Secretary of War Meikle-
john today made public the report and
findings of the military «nut appointed
to investigate the charges made by Ma­
jor-General Miles, commanding the
aimv, that the,, beef supplied to the
army during the war witli Spain was
unfit for the use of the troops. The
most important features of the report
are:
The finding that the general’s find­
ings that the refrigerated beef was
treated with chemicals were not estab­
lished; that his allegations concerning
tire canned fresh or canned roast beef
were sustained as to its unsuitability
for food as used on the transjiorts and
as a long-continued field ration; cen­
sure of General Miles for “ error” in
failing to promptly notify the secretary
of war when he first formed the opin­
ion that the food was unfit; censure of
the commissarv-general (then General
Eagan) for the too-extensive purchase
□f the canned beef as an untried ration;
censure of Colonel Mans, of General
Miles’ staff; the finding that the pack­
ers were not at fault, and that the
meats supplied to the atmv were of the
same quality as those supplied to the
trade generally, and the recommenda­
tion that no further proceedings will be
taken in the premises.
The conclusion of the court adverse
to furtiier proce«lings based upon the
charges is as follows:
“ It has been develop«! in the course
of the inquiry, as recited in this report,
that in some instances some individu­
als failed to perlotm the full measure
of duty or to observe the proprieties
which dignified military laws com­
mand; but the court is of the opinion
that the mete statement of official facts
developed meets the end of discipline,
and that the interests of the service
will be best subserved if further pro­
ceedings be not taken.”
The party that went in search of the
body of A. J. Cloutiie has returned to
Seaside and reports having found the
remains about a mile and a half in the
hack trail from where the bodies of
Radir and Heikmaun were found.
Coutrie was evidently the first of the
party to die, as his body had been
dragged down the side of a hill for
over 100 yards and plac«l under a log
in a sheltered place. The body was
well preserved.
