THE MASK OFF
Filipino Emissaries No Longer
Pretend to Represent Cen
eral Luna,
But Acknowledge They Come Di-
rect From AgEinaldO---At-
tempt to Trap Otis
Into Some Sort of Recognition a
Failure---Aguinald0 Wants
to Surrender
But Will Not Do So Now Except
Upon What he Calls Hon.
Orable Terms.

MANILA, May As p. m.-The Fill
Pine ENJOYS, Major Manual Argueleses
and Lieutenant Jose Bernal, have aban-
aoned the pretense under which they
came to General Otis, that they repre-
sented General Antonio Luna, and have
announced that they came as represent
atives of Aguinaldo himself. The two
emissaries used all their wiles to secure
reply from General Otis to the letter
from Senior Mabini, Aguinaldo's prime
minister and minister of foreign affairs
on the dictator's cabinet, which they
presented to General Otis on Tuesday,
but General Otis refused to make any
reply, on the ground that to do so would
be equivalent to recognition of the So
called government of the Filipinos.
Major Argueleses said that Aguin-
aldo knew he would be overpowered in
time, but that he would be able to con-
tinue the fight for months, and that he
would do so unless he were given what
Major Argueleses termed peace with
dignity.
Thinks 1t Will Do GOOD.
Mr.. schurman, the president of the
United States Philippine commission,
expressed the opinion that the inter
views accorded by General Otis to the
Filipino representatives will have a
good moral effect, as tending to con-
vince Aguinaldo's representatives that
the American authorities mean to give
the Filipinos good government and
not one of the Spanish sort.
MAMMA, May 4.--10 p. m.-There
was conference lasting two hours be-
tween Major General E. S. Otis and the
ENJOYS who came here from General
Antonio Luna, bearing proposal for a
cessation of hostilities.
General Otis adhered to his refusal to
recognize the so-called government of
the insurgents.
The Filipinos now ask for truce of
three months to enable Aguinaldo to
summon the congress and consult with
the insurgent leaders and others of the
islands. The ENJOYS admitted the con-
tention of General Otis that Aguinaldo
has little control over affairs outside of
the island of Luzon
The question of the release of Spanish
prisoners in the hands of the Filipinos
mentioned, Major Manuel Arguelles,
the chief member of the deputation,
said that he considered them as being
in the same category with the Amer
leans, the United States being the sue
cessor of Spain in dominion over the
island and acquiring by treaty all Span
ish rights and obligations. After the
close of the conference with General
Otis the Filipino ENJOYS had consulta-
ton with the United States Philippine
commission.

SWORDS USED IN ALL AGES
In Early Times They Were Made
of Hard Wood.
BLADES OFTEN SHATTERED
Weapons Carried by Crusaders We're
Double-Edged Some Stories
OF Swordmanship Are OF
Doubtful Authenticity.

OF all the weapons used by man.
the sword Is the most universal. Its
beginnings are older than history. and
1t has appeared in every part of the
world. Some of its forms, however, are
very different from those with which
we are familiar-so much so that we
should scarcely recognize the character
OF the weapon at first glance.
Indeed, the earliest swords We're not
made of any kind of metal, but of
hard, heavy wood-a style which has
persisted among savases in remote re-
gions until very recent times. Such
swords are evidently the result of an
attempt TO improve upon the war club.
They are more or less paddle shaped,
and are brought to a keen edge, which
is fire-hardened. Their cleaving power
in the hands of stawart and skillful
savage is far beyond what might be
expected, and is increased by the fire.
quent use of a drawing cut" Still,
wood is easily blunted, and all sorts of
experiments have been tried with a
view to getting a more refractory edge.
One device was to insert rows of
sharks teeth, firmly imbedded: but this
ugly lighting tool was more like a rip
saw than true sword A better weap-
on was made by arming the edge with
razor-like flakes of flint set in the wood.
These gave an edge like broken glass
and every boy knows how keen that
may be. The best example of this style
is the ''masquahuilt." formerly used
by certain Mexican tribes, and with it,
we are told, they could sometimes sew
er a mans arm at one stroke. 1t was
the most effective sword over con-
structed out Of any material inferior 10

The first swords of metal We're not
al all satisfactory. AS iron was scarce
and copper was altogether too soft,
bronze was used, but this, if made hard
enough to cut, became brittle. Such
We're the swords of the early Greeks
and the stories Of the combats in which
they were used show that they often
shattered when a heavy blow was
struck against shield or helmet. Yet
we are told that when Ajax was de-
Tending his ships, almost single handed,
by thrusting back the Trojans with
long lance, one blow of the sword of
Hector cleft the braZen head from the
tough shaft-no easy task even for a
sword of steel. 1t is not likely that any
such feat was ever performed with
blade of bronze, except in the heroic
dreamland of the poets. The sword was
never of much account among the
Greeks, anyhow, their weapon of war
was the spear.
The Romans, however, were real
swordsmen. They wanted no 15-foot
pole between themselves and the en-
envy; their chief desire was to come to
close quarters, with weapon bearing

There is such a thing as a wine be-

borad of trade, chatting with some
friends in the front offices. II had that
illustrated at my house the other day
under rather interesting circumstance.
Back in 1S4S Gen. John NJ. Lewis.
who was then sheriff and afterward
mayor of New Orleans, gave my uncle
a basket of four-year-old champagne.
My uncle afterward moved north talk
ing that and other wines with him, and
on his death. in the early sixties, the
basket was still intact. There had pos
sibly been some agreement about op IN
ing it at a certain time, and at any
rate, the champagne remained in the
family cellar untouched and last month

the old wine would taste, and a few
days ago, on the occasion of a little
anniversary at our house, | opened one
of the bottles. / had considerable diff
ficulty in removing the cork without
breaking it, but it finally gave way.
There was not vestige of pop, and
the wine ran out perfectly dead and
limpid. 1t was pale amber in color and
had a faint. pleasant bouquet, but the
imprisoned gas that had once given 1t
life and sparkle was gone forever. 1t
was interesting as a relic, but not fit
to drink, and some friends who are
connosseurs said that it had evidently
been deteriorating since 1870 It's a
great pity my northern relatives held
it in too much veneraton to sample
it about that time
