NEWS.
Washington, April 3.?The following
cablegram was received at tho War De?
partment early tlii.i morning:
Manila. April 3.
Adjutant General, Washington:
Present indications denote insurgent
government In perilous condition's; il?
army defeated, discouraged and scat?
tered. Insurgents returning to their
honi : in cities and villages between
hero and points north of Malolos, which
our reeonnolterlng parties haxa reached
and desire protection of Americans.

OTIS.
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS
PLEASED.
The War Department officials were
pleased by the cheering dispatches from
General <>tis received to-day, It con?
tains a great tli-.il of encouragement to
them, and those who know General
Otis well say he is not a man to take
a roseate view of- a situation uhletffi
there Is reason for it. It is argued at
the Department that the Filipinos have
never In en used to the kind of warfare
that tin- Americans have given them,
and for that reason they ? are now
iiwarc that it Will be Impossible for
them to accomplish anything by fight?
ing. While there is disappointment be?
cause tin- movement for the capture of
a large force of the Filipinos was not
successful, it is believed the pressing
of th" insurgents steadily toward the
north, capturing their capital and driv?
ing them from place to place has had
a very discouraging effect upon the na?
tives who have been following Agui
naldo.
DESERTIONS WILL RUIN AGUI
NALDO.
It Is evident by the reference which
General Otis makes to reeonnolterlng
parties that he Is having the country
thoroughly,Covered and that the infor?
mation which they are giving him is the
basis of the dispatches received to-day.
It Is believed thnt desertions will soon
deplete the army of Agtlinaldo to little
or nothing. It would not lake lung for
an army of the kind he has gathered to
melt away nnd disappear in the moun?
tains andijun'gles of Luzon.
IN THE VISATANS.
Thnt portion of the dispatch relating
to tho Visayans refers to the opera?
tions of which Hollo Is the base. The
group, includes Panay, Cebu, Negros.
Bohol and others of less importance in
the same vicinity.
The rebellion against United States
authority was not very serious in these
Islands, being stirred up by emissaries
of Aguinaldo at Hollo. The constant
defeat of Aguinaldo's forces north of
Manila has no doubt had n depressing
effect upon other Insurrectionists.

Berlin, April 3.?The Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Baron Von Buelow,
has curtailed his holiday, returning un?
expectedly to the capital to-day, and
had a lengthy conference with the Brit?
ish Ambassador to Germany, Sir Frank
Cavendish Lascellcs, on the subject of
Samoa.
SITUATION AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, April 3.?The President
and Secretary Hay have been giving
consideration to the selection of a rep?
resentative of the United States Gov?
ernment on the Samnari commission,
which may be taken as a pretty sure]
indent of the confidence of our govern-]
ment in the agreement .of the three
powers upon the commission plan tori
settling the issuer, that have arisen rel?
ative to Samoa.
The United Stales representative will
not be .1 member of either the Senate
or the House of Representatives, ac?
cording to the present lights. It Is
probable that the effort will be to flhdj
some person thoroughly familiar with1
the Issue likely to be presented in the
settlement of this Samonn dispute. The!
question is a complex one, ami having
generally dropped out of public notice
during the last ton years, the number
of persons of the official class who ate
well posted upon it is extremely lim?
ited.
' ^PECULATIONS.
In the absence of an acceptance by
Great ihttfiiu of the commission plan
it lias not been possible to proceed to
outline the instructions (0 be given to
that commission. It is said that it does
hot follow by any means that bee use
the commission is appointed, it is to at
once overthrow the treaty of Berlin, uu-.
der the terms of which the three, guv- .
ernments have for ten years adminis?
tered the affairs of Samoa. On the con?
trary it is entirely possible that the
commission will be able to adjust con?
ditions at Apia and elsewhere In the
Samonn group to the tcrnis of that
treaty., and it is ooncelvod here that all
that it is needful for reforming condi?
tions ibore and placing them on a sat?
isfactory basis may be seemed through
the adoption of some additional arti?
cles to the Berlin convention, not oven
affecting the general principle of the
tripartite control.
SALISBURY IS "WARY.
Many cable dispatches hdve been
passing between Washington and Lon?
don in regard to the Samoon settle?
ment. The main point is on determin?
ing exactly the r\tent of authority
which the high commission is to pos?
sess. T/ord Salisbury, the British Pre?
mier, Is not disposed to enter precipi?
tately on a plan until it is fully under?
stood just what the plan, in nil its de?
tails, is. The British government is as
ready as the Thlted Sfafs or Ger?
many to accept the general principles
of commissioners, but It wants to know
in advance as to the power of the com?
mission. As Lord Salisbury Is In the
south of France, the inquiries and re?
plies have to be forwarded to him from
London, so thr.t necessarily there is
considerable delay,

Washington, April 3.?The unclaimed
bodies of the American soldiers and
sailors who'died in Cuba and Porto
Rico, which were brought to this coun?
try in the transport Crook, will be bur?

ecutive order which directs:
'?That upon the arrival of the cortege

(By Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot.)
Washington, April 3.?In the Supremo
Court of the United States to-day an
opinion was handed down by Justice
Pockham Itt several cases Involving the
validity of the war revenue act. The
cases were those of James N'ieel vs. .
James Ames, United States Marshal;
petition for .habeas corpus by George
It. Nichols, petitioner; Edwin S. Skillm,
appellant vs. the Marshal and Charles
H. Ingers wen; plaintiff in error vs. the
United States. The cases all come
from the Chicago Federal Courts.
These cases especially concern the va?
lidity of the tax provided by the war
revenue act upon all sales and all con?
tracts to sell merchandise upon ex?
change, boards of trade or similar
places. The war revenue act requires
a memorandum to be made of the
transactions and a etamp affixed, the
amount of which is measured by the
value of the sale.
THE COURTS OPINION.
The three cases of Nichol, appellant,
of Nichols, petitioner, and of Skillm,
appellant, present all the phases In?
volved in stock transactions on. the
Board of Trade, Chicago. The case of
Ingwersen Involves J\e, question as to
whether the Union StdUs? Yards at Chi?
cago is an exchange or similar place
making sales there taxable.
The court, in its opinion, sustained
the validity of the tax, and held als?
that the Stock Yards Is a platte simi?
lar to an exchange, making Its trans?
actions liable to the tax.
CONTENTIONS OF COUNSEL.
The case was argued by ex-Secretary
Carlisle and Mr. Bobbins, of Chicago,
for the petitioners and by Mr. J. KL.
Richards, solicitor general for the Gov?
ernor.
Mr. Carlisle contended that the tax
upon stiles on exchanges Is a direct tax,
first because a tax upon sales Is vir?
tually a tax upon the property sold,
and. second, because the tax cannot be
shifted, but must be p Id by the seller
I on the exchanges. It was also insisted
that if the tax is an Indirect tax it
lacks uniformity, because Imposed upon
all sales whenever made.
The point also was made that if .an
Indirect c>x it is ?. stnmn tax on docu?
ments, and the Congress had no power
to require a written memorandum to
bo made noon transactions within 11
State for the purpose of taxing such
i memorandum.
IS NOT A DIRECT TAX.
The court in its opinion carefully dis?
cusses all those Objections, and over?
rules them. It holds the tax Is not a
direct tax but a "duty or excise laid
upon the privilege; opportunity or fa?
cility offered at boards of trade or ex?
changes for the prosecution of de bus?
iness mentioned In the act."
"It is," the court further says, "not
n tax upon the members of the cx
i hanges, nor upon the membership
therein, nor Is It n. tux upon sales
generally. The act 'limits the tax to
sales at any exchange or board of
trade or other similar place, and Its
fair meaning is to impose- a duly upon
those privileges or facilities there
found and made use of."
The exceptional facilities offered at
; such places affords, the court says, a
Just ground for the classification Jfor
purposes of taxation by Congress of
transactions there. The flexible char?
acter of the taxing power and tin? pos?
sibility of adapting It to change condi
tons Is described by the courts, It dis?
tinctly holding that In order to tax a
privilege or facility enjoyed, it is not"
ssary that It should be created by
the government. The requirement of a
memorandum Is upheld becatise It Is
essary (or ths collection of a tax.
A UNIFORM TAX.
The tax Is pronounced uniform be?
cause It applies to all who enjoy the
special privileges or facilities incident
to the transac Ion of business at boards
of trade and similar places.
In the matter of tha petition for writ
of habeas corpus the petition was de?
nied, while the other cases, the Judg
ments of circuit and district courts,
were affirmed.
