SPAIN CATCHES AT STRAWS
Her Latest Resolve Growing Out Of the
Fall of Manila.
''It Does Not Entail the Surrender Of
the Whole of the
= Philippines"


MADRID, AUGUST 19-The government
has resolvea to insist that capitulation
of Manila, fter the signing of the protocol
shall have no effect in the peace negotia-
tions unfavorable to Spain.
In any event, the government holds that
the capitulation, having been signed by the
commander of the town, does not entail
the surrender of the whole Of the Philip
pines.
All the indications are that the peace
negotiations will be prolonged. The op-
position factions are redoubling the agita-
ton for conxolring the cortes, and it is
said that Senonz zSagasta begins to hesi-
tate, although he shares the opinion OF
Duke Almodovar de Ric, the foreign min
lister, as to the inconvenience involved in a
meeting of the cortes and series of de-
bates during the peace negotiations.
1t is possible that the cortes Will meet

RAILWAY RATES IN SWITZERLAND
The Reduction is a Blow Mt the Tour
ist Ticket system.


United States Consul Frankenthal at
Berne has made a report to the State De-
partment, for the benefit of tourists, In re-
gard to the cheap rates of railway travel
in Switzerland He says that railway trav-
cling in Switzerland has, since June 1. un-
dergone quite a revolution in the delivery
of tickets and their extraordinary cheap
ness. A great blow has been given by the
railway administration to the formerly ad-
vantageous tourist or circular ticket.
For one person. the price Of a ticket, valid
for fifteen days, is as follows: First-class,
81. IS; second-ciass. SSH; third-class, 1919.
For one person tickets valid for twelve
months cost as follows: First-class, s115.S0;
second-class. SS1.06; third-class, $3.50.
For two persons of the same household
the price of the ticket valid for twelve
months is, frst-class, s154.40; second-class,
$10S0S; third-class, S77.20.
These new tickets enable the holder to
travel as much and as long as he likes
over the entire railway system of Swift
zeriand during the time of the validity of
his ticket. The lake steamers are also
available second-class railway ticket
giving the right to a first-class ticket on
the steamers. These tickets are vigorously
personal and. have attached to them a
photograph of the holder. Tickets must be
signed with the7hoider's entire name An
extra sum of 81 cents has to be paid upon
delivery, which, however, Is returned when
the ticket expires. The duration of these
tickets cannot be prolonged. No luggage is
allowed free. and no allowance is made for
tickets unsued
Cyclists will also be glad to learn that
on the Franco-Swiss frontier all vexatious
questions and demands about introducing
bicycles have now been done away with
for all members of the French Touring
Club. Such bicycles can be brought In free
or charge. No more permits or charge
