The plunger decided to hypothecate
his real estate, which was worth sew

This chance saved him from utter ruin.

LOUD'S MAIL SERVICE BILL
Ordered Favorabiy Reported by TIN
House Committee.


WASHINGTON, April II. = The
House Committee on Postoffices and
Post Roads to-day ordered a favorable
report on the bill of Loud of California
to extend the uses of the mail service
by providing for what is termed the
economic postage system, the object of
which is to enable the Economic POST
people of the United States convenient
and cheap method of soliciting trade by
mail and the public convenient and in
expensive method of placing orders
To accomplish these purposes, the
association asks the use of the United
States mails, under such provisions as
will give absolute security as to pay
ment of postage to the Government. and
under such rules and regulations as
may be prescribed by the Postmaster
General
1t is the intention to furnish business
men with the coupon cards and envel-
opes of this association for trade pur-
poses, and it is desired to allow the
postage upon all such cards and envel-
opes to be paid through the association
at the Office of delivery.
The effect of this legislation will be to
place the expense of an order by mail
on the receiver instead of on the sender.
1t is claimed that all such business for
the service would give an annual in
crease of $50, 100000 postal revenue as
result of the adoption of this new
system.

Americans Will Welcome Him With
Open Arms.
The New Appointee VIII Have all
Opportunity to Discover That
State of War is Being Waged for
the determination of CubanS-Wul
Also Learn That Spain Is Powerless
to Protect Property OF Americans
on the Island.

HAVANA, April 17.-(From q staff
correspondent of the United Press. y
The appointment Of General Fitzhugh
Lee to succeed Consul-General Will
Jams is understood by Americans here
as we'll as by the authorities at the
palace as an adroit way of sending a
military commissioner from the States
to Cuba When there was an intima-
ton a fortnight ago that Mr.. Cleve-
land contemplated sending a Commits
sioner here to learn of what was going
on the officials at Madrid said very
plainly that no military or other COM
mission would be accepted by them or
permitted to pry into affairs in Cuba.
There is, therefore, some curiosity as
to how General Lee will be received,
and as to what facilities will be ac-
corded him for learning what is trans
piring outside of the city of Havana.
The Spanish officials with whom / have
talked will not discuss any other mis-
sion he may be supposed to have. They
have got along so smoothly with Con-
sul-General Williams, who has devoted
himself assiduously to viewing bills of
lading and allowed Americans in Jail
to rot there and others to be shot down
and their property destroyed, that
there may be trouble when a live
American comes here to represent
Uncle Sam.
1t goes without saying that Ameri-
can residents will welcome General
Lee with open arms. He will not be
long in discovering that a state of war
exists in Cuba; that life is respected
on one side and prisoners set free,
while on the other a war of extermina-
ton against all Cubans is waged,
prisoners of war are shot and cut to
pieces and political suspects impris-
oned by thousands.
He will learn that Spain is powerless
to protect American property through
out the island; that millions of dollars
worth of property belonging to our
citizens has been destroyed, and the
prospect of recompense is as shadoWy
as castles in Spain.
He will hear of Americans who have
been shot down by Spanish troops, and
will find others imprisoned in dungeons
with no prospect of trial or release.
His eyes will be opened to that
which has stirred the heart of man
kind, for the truth has been told by all
American correspondents with one ex-
ception. They have got the news out
in spite Of the Spanish censor and of
all the barriers to truth that the mar
-mindedness of middle ages has
endeavored to erect around the island
of Cuba. Correspondents have been
thrown into Moro Castle Others have
been expelled. Those who remain
know what fate awaits them. But the
truth gets out just the same
If the appointment of General Lee
means that the Administration seeks
light in view of all the misrepresenta-
tions that have been and are going
through official channels, it is a step
in the right direction, and had it been
taken months ago thousands of lives
would have been saved.

Il shall observe there are no docu-

Schomburgk is therefore valuable; it
confirms the opinions of the Superin-

subjects for discussion with the differ

and Colombia were resisting the final
