Over the scourged rocks smile of peace
Deepens the hushed expectancy.

Forgotten tlocks turn toward the rosy west;
Day drops her anchor off the world and now
Awaits her striving all her ways confessed. ~

Far hills are lineeling birds arrest their flight

Seventeen hundred and seventy-sx men were

Mia this week. Uncle Sans 9TH of July and
"1776' are wonderfully suggestive of that first
4th of July, A. D. I776, during the darksome
days of the Revolutionary War, and if the super
stitious fad for condolences amounts to anything
in the minds of patriotic Americans, the "boys"
of the Sheridan should carry the Spirit of 76 into
the Philippines with the old-time zest and vigor
of our neutrality-suspicious.
A coincidence of striking historical interest to
Honolulu, brought the famous fighting Twenty
fourth United States Infantry (colored) to our
shores on July 1st, the day of the first anniver-

portant too, that the Twenty-fourth should cele-
brate in Hawaii, the newest of Uncle Sans colo

There's CLEAN of spring In my dark old room,
And a breath of spring in the air,
I cannot write and cannot Think
So | fling down my pen in despair.
For my truant heart Is out In the woods
Still damp from the melted SHOWS,
Where the sweet wild things of the shadow hide
And the trailing arbutus grows.

And drOWSily shut my eyes.
NV dark old room whrls lightly away
And the din of the city des
The long hard years of struggle and fret,
Of hope and despair and pain,
Slip from ME silently one by one
And am a child again.
IT'S spring in the country, and on the hills,
In the secret places of gloom,
Where the thick, brown MOSES cover the earth,
The arbutus is all abloom-
The children eager from school let out.
Are off and away on its quest,
Laden with baskets, sun-bOnneted, tanned,
And laughing with childish zest.

And the city with all its confusion and glare,

Twenty-fourth whole, promptly promoted
five of its colored sergeants to lieutenancies in

originally comprised the regiment when it left

Fort Douglas, Utah, and not more than seventy

The artistic work of Mr. and Mrs. Boggs on

the highest commentator. The management is
to be applauded in their efforts to give the public
this latest phase of high class vaudeville. Such
well-known actors as Mckee Rankin have been
engaged by Eastern houses in similar sketches

Cedar City, May 20.-The presidents
party was accorded the spirited demon
stration of the town at Cedar tonight.
Some miles outside of the city a COM
pany of twenty-five horsemen, under
the leadership Of Edward Parry, and
string band met and escorted the
party into town. The streets were
filled with people cheering and waving
flags as the procession passed.
First in line was the Sunday schooi
organization, with about 800 children
and teachers. The primary and its OF
ficers and the Mutual Improvement as
sociations followed, with about 125 stu
dents of the branch normal in line. Cit
izens congregated for blocks along the
main street, and in every way possible
manifested their welcome to the Wis

held this noon, the school children pre-
sented a very pretty sight, with flags

will accomplish nothing because 1t has
no authority to negotiate for actual
peace. The Importance of the visit
of the commission is the evident de-
sire of the F'ilipinos to end hostilities.
There is an impression also that
Aguinaldo is playing for time in his
request.
No instructions or suggestions will
be sent TO General Otis by the Depart
ment. The officials are confident that
he has the matter well in hand and will
be better able to judge what is best to
do. From the manner in which Cen
eral Otis has handled past negotiations
with the FilipinOS there is little doubt
he will refuse the request for the ar
mistice asked. The position of the
American troops in the Philippines is
such as to render it possible to infiict
great damage to the F'ilipinOs without
serious loss to our forces.
General Otis being aware of the feel
ing of the people as shown by the press
dispatches no doubt believes the Fill
pinos rebellion is crumbling and that
the object of Aguinaldo and other lead
ers in requesting an armistice is to re-
organize their shattered forces. or to
impress the Filipino people with evi-
dence of Importance which they do not
possess.

slightly injured, and will be about in
a day or two.
The dead miners were among the

GEN. OTIS REFUSES TO
RECOGNIZE T THE REBELS
Outlook For Peace In the Philippines At This Time
Is Not Very Encouraging.
However American Commander Has Notified His Officers
to Refrain From Hostile Action

Manila, May 20.-Major General Otis
has declined to recognize the rebels tC
the extent of agreeing to an armistice
but he has notified the American COM
manders to refrain temporarily from
aggressive action. Thus he is in a po-
sition to resume hostilities at any time
This Will defeat any subterfuges to
gain time, which would not be the case
If the general agreed to an armistice
The FilipinoS are so deceptive that
the people hesitate to credit with good
faith their latest overtures. But more
attention is now paid to them than to
their previous advances. The Filipino
committee is under instructions from
Aguinaldo and the congress. but it is
possible that If peace is agreed, Cen
erals Luna and Pillar will continue a
guerilla warfare.
At Iloilo an attack on the Americans
boasted that he had 1,500 rifiemen and

island. AS result many of the natives
left the town, and for several days the
outposts were doubled. In addition, the

Especial to The Herald.l

Denver, May 2O.-The general assem-
bly, of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church will probably adopt the Rob
erts resolution directing that congress
refuse the representative from Utah a
seat in the house. The resolution was
presented to the assembly at its meet
ing yesterday, but no vote was taken.
The feeling over this resolution in
the assembly is of a deeper nature than
that aroused by any question for years
without the tenets of the denomina-
ton. Scarcely had Moderator Halsell
put the matter before the assembly
than a dozen delegates were on their
feet to make speeches. They were an
ticipating a hot debate over the reso-
luton. The first recognized was Elder
J. E. Jones of Dresden, Tenn, and one
of that states ablest attorneys.
Mr.. Moderator and Fellow Commits
sioners of the Church." began Elder
Jones, 81 do not believe that congress
will thank a religious body for inter
fering in this matter. 1t is a serious
question, and one which does not con-
Germ any as much as the heads of the
nation. 1t is a question of the consti-
