MAIL SERVICE IN MANILA.
United States Postal Agent Vaille Reports
to the Post Office Department That
Everything is Satisfactory.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-United States
Postal Agent Vaille, at Manila, has
submitted a report to the post Office
department on the postal operations
there. He says everything is moving
satisfactorily, and that the largest
business houses report the mail facil-
tiles much better than at any time
under Spanish rule. He speaks
in glowing terms of the island,
expresses the hope that the United
States will retain it. He says there is
room for millions of people, and that
the country is not surpassed by any
in the United States. He adds that
on September 10 he had a short talk
with Aguinaldo at MalatOS about
the mails in the provinces under
AguinaldO's control, where the for
mer Spanish officials are out and
there is no regularly constituted pos
tai authority in charge. Aguinaldo,
who promised to send representative
to discuss the matter, was told that if
he could satisfy the agent that the
mails sent out would be delivered to
addresses il proper condition he would
deliver the mails.

American commissioners to arrange the

full discussion of all questions of the

1t should be said that the adjust

Commissioners VIII Next Take
Up Philippine Question.

PARIS, Oct. 2S-The Spanish peace
commissioners have accepted the mega
tive views of the United States commits
sioners towards the proposed assump-
ton by the United States of the Cuban
debt.
The American commissioners have
firmly but cOurteOusly declined to as
sumo for the United States the entire
or joint responsibility for the Spanish
financial conditions, and the Spanish
commissioners have finally abandoned
the effort and have agreed that the
Cuban article of the protocol shall,
without conditions, have place in the
ultimate treaty of peace. 1t was not
until Monday that they became abso-
lutely convinced that the Americans
had, from the outset of their refusal to
accept the Cuban debt, meant exactly
what they said.

A SAD CASE OF FANATICISM.
A Colored Woman Represents Herself az
Christ and breaches the Doctrine of
Fasting as a Means of Grace.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 2S.-A case of
fanaticism of the extreme type has
been discovered here. Miss Nell
Thompson, cOlored, died while being
taken from the home of Mrs. Minerva
Williams, who is said to call herself a
representative of Christ and who has
been preaching the doctrine of fasting
as means of grace.
The Thompson woman practiced this
doctrine, having gone without food for
eight days and sleeping in the river
bottom on a piece of mating in pur-
suance of what is said to be Mrs. Will
liams' teachings. The matter is to be
investigated.

In spite of the fact that the Spanish
commissioners had as a back ground of
their efforts, doubts of succeeding,
their hope of SO doing has been SO
keen and their contention has been SO
vigorously prosecuted that the final
conviction of their inability to win
their point brought to the Spaniards
such a shock and depression that con-
sistently with these dispatches at the
time, there were grave doubts as to
the continuance of the negotiations.
In support of these statements is the
fact that Senior MOnterO Rios. after
Mondays session. and on Tuesday last.
would have resigned the presidency Of
the Spanish peace commission, had he
not believed that his so doing may
have previously shaken, even if he had
not unSeated Senior Sagasta'S govern
ment. From this standpoint. if
for no other reason. Senior Montero
Rios retained his position. and at
Wednesdays session, acting under the
conviction arrived at on Monday. the
Spaniards announced that they would
fOregO further argument on the Cuban
debt and agreed that, practically in
the terms and absolutely in the spirit
of the protocol, the article about Cuba
should go forward into the final treaty.
Thus Spain agrees to relinQuish SOY

tion conveyed by the American COM
missiOners to the Spanish commission
erS at Mondays session of the peace
conference at Paris. that the position

regarded as subject to change and that
consequently the American commits
sioners were ready to proceed with the
consideration of other heads under
the protocol the Paris adViccs show
had the desired effect. The one CON
cession as to Cuba that our commits

responsibility the United States as

the American commissioners propose

1t is expected that the commission
ers will now take up the subject of the
Philippines The American commits
sioners have given this subject much
attention, but so far it has never APP
peared before the joint commission
save in the shape of one spasmOdic eff
fort made by the Spaniards at the be-
ginning of the sessions to have the
United States abandon Manila as a
precedent to further negotiations on
the subject of the Philippines. The
American commissioners among other
things have been looking into the sub
iect of the Philippine debt about which
there is much ignorance at this end of
the line. 1t is unlikely that the same
rnle will be applied to that debt as was
insisted upon relative to the Cuban
debt. In other words. if the United
States annexes the Philippines, which
seems now to be the most logical
outcome of the situation, it might
be reasonably contended that at
least so much of the debt as rep
resented moneys expended for the
improvement of the island should pass
to the United States with the title.
The situation is regarded as materially
different from that in Cuba, where the
United States gains nothing substan-
tial for, with the annexation of the
