Don't Use sealing wax on letters adj

Porto Rico. The postofiice department
asks that the widest circulation be given
this piece Of advice. Sealing wax melts

the letter on which it is originally placed,
but "sticks up" the contents Of an entire

who writes to the department on the seal

off years sometimes have a way OF
speaking for themselves. But If any
great concern had existed on the part
of the people as to the outcome Of peace
negotiations. they would undoubtedly
have spoken with the same clearness
with which they are in the habit of
speaking in presidential years. But
such condition did not exist. The people.
as rule, are only distrustful when
they have a cause TO be so. The whole
subject of peace negotiations is in ths
hands Of the administration, and its
representatives now abroad are dealing
with the details OF the question With
the administration the people are will
ing that the responsibility shall rest.

from sense Of allegiance to their

gave notice 10 the plaintive Repub-

the Spanish allegation that as the
words possession Ownership on
"cession" do not occur In the protocol
clause touching upon the Philippine is
lands, the peace commission has no
right to discuss them here. and even If
they did so it must be in the light OF
an exterior agreement that SPANS
sovereignty should not be interfered
with. The Americans also answer tha
claims made for public moneys and
customs taken since the capitulation OF
Manila, and made reply to SPANS
claim for an indemnity on account of
the alleged imprisonment by United
States authorities Of the Spanish troops
at Manila, and for their subsequent re.
straint from acting in the service of
Spain in suppressing the uprising. On
these counts the Americans had pre-.
