The Stockton Mail has receiv-
ed information regarding the
situation in the Philippines from
an officer not yet mustered out,
but who intends when free to tell
what he thinks and what he
knows. He says less than a
hundred thousand men will not
conquer Luzon, land when they
have conqured the persistent
and hard-tighting rebels it will
take five hundred thousand to
effectively garrison the territory,
which makes it practically i'm
possible, he continued, to estab-
fish American authority outside
of it's seaports, as the people
will not submit to annexation
and will not be forced into it.
They have nothing against the
United States, but that is their
country. And that is all there
is to 1t as to the morals. AS to
the cost, it takes a round thous-
and dollars a year to maintain
an American soldier, exclusive
OF transportation. That is, ev-
cry resident-man, woman and
child-would have to pay over
seven dollars year in order to
enable a few land syndicates to
squeeze from $4,000, 900 to $685.

A decision has been rendered
in Colorado that is Of much in
terest to miners. The law re-
quires that forfeiture notice
shall be published in a paper
published nearest the claim. In
this case the mine was located at
a very inaccessible place, reach
ed only by trail. 1t became nee
.essary for one of the owners to
advertise his partner out, the
latter having failed to contribute
his share of the cost of assess
ment work. At the time, all
roads and trails were closed ex-
cepting the one to Pitkin, and
the notice was taken to that
place and published. Afterward
the mine was sold for $50, 900 and
the man who had been advertis-
ed out then came in with the
claim that the notice had not
been published in the paper near
est the property. The services
of the county surveyor were
called in and it was determined
that, on an air line, the mine was
IA miles from Crested Butte, 10
miles from Aspen, % miles from
Crystal and 81 miles from Pitkin,
papers being published in all of
those places. The court held, on
this showing, that the notice had
been illegally published.

ADJUSTMENTS. A

BURTON HOLMES LECTURES.-Mr
Burton Holmes carried his audience ;ast
night at the Columbia Theater to far-off
climes, landing them at the beginning of
his lecture just outside the mysterious city
of "Fez, the metropolis of the Moors."
That the theater was not crowded can only
be accounted for through the fact that this
lecture has been delivered before in Wash
ington by Mr. Holmes. The wording of the
lecture was full of information to the stu
dent and instructive to the iayman. Mr..
Holmes description of the quaint city, with
its queer buildings and customs, its inhab-
itantS and their strange habits and beliefs,
its government and peculiarities, proved
highly enjoyable and entertaining. The
pleasing anecdotes and particles of history
injected into the descriptive word painting
materially added to the pleasure of the au-
dience. The Photographic views introduced
by Mr.. Holmes were of the highest excel
lence, the coloring being exceptionally ar
tisic and accurate, and were at the same
time important appendages to the lecturers s
description. 1t might be added that Mr..
Holmes secured several pictures under the
most trying circumstances. and again
through cleverness and stealth, the photo
graph taken of a Moorish family lunching
together in the little private garden being
invaluable as a curio.
AT the conclusion of the lecture Mr..
Holmes introduced several motion pictures
taken in Greece and Arizona which were in
the line of novelties, and, of course, enter
tanning
Tonight Mr.. Holmes will talk of "Grecian
Journeys, and as he is the poSsessor of
many artistic and instructive views, the lee
ture should prove to be of the highest order
of excellence.

PEACE JUBILEE PLANS
Arrangements for the Display Of Pyrotech-
mics Completed.
and Decoration Com
ters Under Thdir Charge.

Plans for the celebration of the national
peace jubilee in May are assuming practical
shape, and suggestions, it is said, will
shortly take on the material shapes of sub
stance. Three committee meetings were
held yesterday. The advertising committee
decided to order 500 copies of the artistic
poster, heretofore described in The Star,
for general distribution, and to distribute
throughout the country 10000 half-sheet
posters.
The committee on fireworks, after con-
ference with the manager of PAINS Fire
works Company, decided to enter into a
contract with the latter to present spec
tacles upon each night of the celebration.

consist Of the Battle of San Juan, the de-
struction of Cervera's feet and Dewey s
victory at Manila on the first, second and
third nights; respectively, there will be
great aerial displays Of fireworks and many
novel features: An immense American flag
will be sent skyward 1000 feet, by means
OF balloon, the first night, and the west
front of the Capitol building will be ilIumi-
mated each night. Colonel Bingham will be
requested to grant permission for the con-
struction of a lake on the monument
grounds. where the display will take place.
IL was decided to erect a grand stand
with a capacity for about 10000 people and
small number of private boxes, but ac-
eommodation will be made to give 10000
TO oo,ooo persons ample opportunity to wit
ness the exhibitions free of charge.
The Decorations.
The committee on decorations also met
last night and decided to present several
plans for the construction of arches to the
executive committee for approval. 1t was
also determined to ask for an appropria-
ton of not more than $4,000 nor less than
5000 from the general fund
committee, consisting of Fred c.
Gieseking, Robert Castelberg, Joseph Burk-
art, w. H. Schrader and J. Doyle Carmody
was appointed to determine upon the num-
Der of arches to be erected and their loca-
ton, while Joseph Harvey. H. H. Craft
and Geo. Hoffman were directed to prepare
designs for the decoration of jubilee head
quarters.
The business men along PENNSYLVANIA
avenue and F and 7th streets will be re-

COIOred Woman Orders Goods anl
Makes False Assertions.


The police authorities are looking for
colored woman whose name is not known
but who is charged with having swindled
Hecht & Co. out of about $37 worth of
goods last evening. According to the in
formation furnished by employees of the
house, the woman called at the store yes
terady and ordered a hat costing $6.9S and
a tailor made suit, valued at $29.9S, to be
sent to No. 114S 11th street northwest,
where she said it would be paid for on de-
livery.
In the evening Daniel Schmidt was sent
to the house with the goods. The woman
met him at the door, took the goods from
him and placed the packages in a front
room. She then showed Schmidt upstairs
where she knocked on a door, There was
no response, and the woman told the boy
that the lady was not in. Schmidt de-
manded the return of the goods but the
woman opened the front door and pushed
the boy into the street.
The matter was at once reported to the
police, and Officer Flather went to the
number mentioned and found 1t to be a
vacant house. Investigation proved that a
colored woman had borrowed the keys of
the house from its owner, under the pre-
tense that a lady wanted to look at the
premises. and had returned them with the
information that the house did not suit the
party for whom the keys had been bor-
rowed.

EXCURSIONS,

Ihose who are going out of town to spend
the Easter holidays will make no mistake
IL they decide on Fortress Monroe or Vir
ginia Beach as their destination. This
pleasant weather is sending many from this
city to join the Washington contingent
there, and the elegant steamers of the Nor
folk and Washington Steamboat Company
have been comfortably filled when they
started on their trips down the Potomac and
Chesapeake bay. These steamers leave 7th
street wharf daily at $50 pm, arriving at
Fort Monroe, Norfolk and Portsmouth early
the following morning.
The many strangers in the city who have
rot yet visited Arlington will have an op-
portunity to do so under very favorable
conditions on Sunday. AS has been the Gus
tom, the Washington, Alexandria and Mt.
Vernon railway will again reduce the regu-
lar fare for the round trip to the beautiful
national cemetery en- Sunday tickets being
good on all trains. Electric trains leave
the station at 1872 street and PENNSYLVANIA
avenue every forty-five minutes for Arlng-
ton on Sunday. This line is also the quick
est and most attractive route to Mt. Yer
non, the home and tomb of Washington.
Electric trains leave the station every hour
from 10 am to pm. for Mt. Vernon.
The electric cars which run from the
Aqueduct bridge stop within a few yards
OF the principal entrance to Arlington, from
which the mansion may be reached over
broad paved walks. This line is the only
direct route to the national cemetery as we'll
as to Fort Myer. Electric cars leave the
Aqueduct bridge every half hour for Ar
lington. Fort Myer, Ballston Fostoria
Falls Church and intermediate points.
Sightseers and tourists who visit our
beautiful city always take trip to Mt. Ver-
ron, the home and tomb of Washington.
The quickest and most historic route is by
the iron steamer Charles Manchester, which
was built expressly for this service and
heated throughout by steam. with all mod
crn equipments, and the quick service of
only one hour running time in either direc-
ton. The delightful sail on the picturesque
Potomac, passing the following points of
interest Arlington. Alexandria, Fort Foote,
Fort Washington and Sheridan Point makes
the trip one long to be remembered. The
steamer makes two fast-fying trips every
week Cay, leaving 7th street wharf at 10
a. m. and 14J pm. returning, due to arrive
at Washington at 40 and 5:15 pm.
