Dewey Has Accepted i.

NEW YORK, May S.-Admiral Dewey
has cabled to this city his acceptance
of an invitation to a banquet to be
given in his honor by 100 prominent
citizens.
1t is likely that Admiral Dewey will
return to this country as toon as peace
negotiations with the insurgents have
been concluded. He will return via
the Suez canal, and come to New
York. While the exact date of lis
departure must depend in a large
measure upon the conclusion of terms
of peace with the insurgents, it is ex-
pected by the Washington authorities
that the hero of Manila will leave the
Philippines within week or two.

building on the street was either
wrecked or unroofed, and the contents
exposed to the rain.

WASHINGTON. May 5.-First Assist.
ant Postn naster-General Perry S.
/ Heath has returned from month S
business trip of inspection in all parts
of the island of Porto Rico. Mr.
Heath says the official report made
just as he sailed showed that the post
al service on the island was easily
s4lfsustaining, and that each post
Office was getting mail at least once a
day. He said if there is any dissension
or discomfort on the island it exists
among a very few politicians. He
said:
"The natives of Porto Rico who are
not Spaniards have no property.
About 10000 of the total estimated
population of between 100000 and L.
100000 own their property and read
and write; the rest are classified as
poems. Probably 10000 to 10000 Of
the total population are politicians
and office holders. The great mass of
people have welcomed enthusiastically
the changed conditions. They are
very tractable people, not readily
adaptable, however, to the American
mode of living, but are persevering
and gradually improving. The past
year was the most prosperous for sugar
in the history of the whole island"

Department Not Large Enough For
Miles and Alger.
WASHINGTON, May IA paper ex-
tremely friendly to Alger intlmates
that if Miles is not relieved upon the
publication of the beef report, Alger
will retire. This caused a great deal
of comment in army circles. and the
general verdict ls that Miles will stay.
Aiger will claim vindication by the
court of inquiry, and claim offended
dignity.
Probably this way out would suit
the administration, but as Alger has
already stayed so long, it is feared he
won't leaye now unless driven ont by
force. To relieve Miles of the COM
mand of the army because he made
charges of bad beef, charges which
four-ffths of the people believe have
been sustained, even if the board
says otherwise, would be piece of bad
politics that Mckinley would shun.
Should Alger take ofense and re-
sign, it would be most satisfactory,
and would not harm the administration
in the least. The war department
imbroglio is giving considerable con-
Germ to the president, but he hopes
for way out without having to
take any decisive step himself. If
Miles and Alger both remain, Miles
will continue to be, as now, shorn
of any authority whatever.

FTippinos Cannot Hold Out Against

MANILA, May Colonel Arguelles
and the other peace ENJOYS of the
rebels are here working and begging
for peace. They admit that they are
whipped. Tne troops are not to be
shaken in their resolve to surrender,
and tney will not fight. Arguelles
says the rebel soldiers are throwing
away their weapons, and have lost all
heart in the fighting, since nothing
seems TO stand in the way of American
soldiers-rivers, jungle
and rebel sharpshooters being all
alike to them.
Arguelles has thrown aside all re-
serve. and declares with an injured air
that there should be no suspicion of
bad faith in the rebels proposals for
peace. He declares all are willing to
surrender as soon as assurances are
made that the Filipinos will have some
representation in the local government
that is to be substituted for the Span
ish government in the archipelago.
While negotiations for peace con-
tinue, General Otis is rushing the
cam paign ahead, and will keep up the
lighting until Aguinaldo and his men
lay down their arms.
