| WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE public
may be surprised to hear of the number
| of letters which are now being received
daily in the dead letter Office, sent there
under the new law which makes prepay
ment of postage compulsory. 1t amounts
to more than 1900. The public should
remember that the old law allowing let
ters not prepaid to be sent according to
the address, and double postage collected
off the receivers, has been repealed, and
that now every letter not allowed to be
carried through mails free must have a
stamp upon 1t or it is sent to the dead
letter Office.
Dispatches received atthe State De-
partment announce that the Government
of Netherlands has formally rescinded
the recognition of belligerent right ae-
corded to rebels. This is in reply to the
demand of this Government, addressed to
all maritime powers
This breaks the combination of all
European powers acknowledging the
rebs's belligerent rights.
A verbal error in the printed testimony
of Hon Chas A. Dana before the militia
~ commission now engaged in the trial
of the alleged conspirators, makes it ap-
pear that he has ceased to be Assistant
