MUST NOT TALK.

The Postmaster General Issues an
Order to Department Employees
Washington. May 1O-Postmaster Cen
eral Emory Smith today issued the follow
ing order:
"All officers and employees of the post
office department are hereby forbidden to
furnish information pertaining to or in
any way bearing IRoon the conduct of the
war to any person or persons not connect
ed with the department, or to any news
paper other publication, unless author
lied to do so by the head of the depart
ment."
This order was made for the purpose of
preventing postmasters from giving infor-
nation in regard to suspicious letters
passing through their offices. Such in
formation, it is thought, may in some in
stances be incorrect and in others prejudi-
cial to the interests of the government.

BREWERS IN TROUBLE.
War Revenue Law Creates Trouble in
Toledo

Toledo, O., May 10.-The brewers a few
days ago notified the saloonkeepers that
as soon as the additional tax of 81 per
barrel on beer went into effect they would
have to advance the price of beer just
that much, or from S. to 80 per barrel. The
saloonkeepers then held meeting and
addressed a letter to the brewers in which
they said they knew the latter who were
making from 800 to $1,000 per day profit.
were only waiting for the opportunity of
showing their patriotism to the govern
ment, and would stand the advance of 81
per barrel themselves. A committee of
brewers attended the meeting, and they
were roundly denounced for their want of
patriotism.
The saloonkeepers finally agreed to COM
promise by standing so cents per barrel of
the tax, while the brewers should stand
the other 80 cents. The brewers have given
no answer yet, but scores of SalOonkeep-
ers say they will close up entirely or sell
nothing but spirituous liquors rather than
be dictated to by the brewers.

Cardenas, Via Key West, Fla May
1O.-The British tramp steamer Strath-
dee, Capt. Currie, attempted to run the
blockade yesterday, but was overhauled
by the gunboat Machias. The captain

had on board a number of Spanish refu-
gees from Sagua la Grande. He also
said that the steamer was bound for
Matanzas, where it was desired to dis
embark some of the refugees. The COM
mander of the MachiaS was Skeptical of
this story and warned the captain of
the Strathdee that if he attempted to
take the vessel into Matanzas, she
would be fired upon, whereupon the
Strathdee put about and steamed away
in the direction of New York.

 The Peking was launched at Chester. Pa., in 1874, and came to San Francisco via the Straits of Magellan early in 1875 When she arrived here she was leaking and had to be docked for re- pairs. She was then the largest steam CT afloat, with the exception of the Great Eastern, and her docking was a holiday event in San Francisco. It was found necessary to strengthen her by the addition of two steel decks, and the wise men in nautical circles shook their heads and predicted a short life for the big liner. She is to-day, however in spite of her age, one of the strongest ships afloat, and her hull and machin- cry are in as perfect order as the day she was launched
 During her twenty-four years of life the Peking's engines have made 309.- 759,505 revolutions, she has travelled 1,321, ,099 miles and the coal consumed in making that record has been 2SO .652 tons. She has carried during that time llI,l50 steerage passengers and 71O0 cabin passengers, and is still in such shape as to be able to start in and cary them all over again Other orig inal crew only two are now aboard Caesar Christian, the steerage steward who came out on her from New York as quartermaster, and An Jee. the Chi nese porter, who joined her here.
 During her career the Peking has been commanded by Captains Griffin. Morse, Tanner, Maury, Berry, Cavarly' Seabury. Friele, Dearborn, Searle,
