General Tom Anderson's scouts cap
tured six men who had passes signed
by the captain-general and Aguinaldo
himself; and there was in Manila and
in communication with the Spanish au
thorities the most confidential OF the

An Immediate Victory Not Looked For
of Trustees Elected to Aid in Pushing
the Matter to Successful Termination
Why They Ask For the "Raise."
Washington May 26.-Twenty lhou-
sand letter-carrers in the big cities,
believing that their services are worth
$1,000 year instead OF the present
pay of $1,000. have decided TO try for
legislation To that end by means of or
ganization and money
Organizations have been perfected
all over the country. 4 national board
of trustees has been elected. the local
organizations have pledged themselves
to contribute $40 per member to the
working fund, and Chicago has swung
into line and unanimously voted 10
contribute $4,000.
The men do not look for an imme-
date victory, but there is much con
fidence expressed that the new pay
roll will go into effect July /, 1900.
This movement originated in New
York City where the offices of the Ma
tional Association are located.
The carriers have an excellent argn-
ment. They point 10 the fact that they
are the trusted custodians of letters
and packages often of great value;
that their work is hard, their hours
long: that they are forced to face all
sorts of weather without the protec
ton granted to policemen and firemen,
ana rnaf lne Government offers. them
neither help in time Of illness nor PEN
sions in old age. which police, firemen
and soldiers enjoy.
The public fully indorses the apph-
cation. but what is to be done with
the 100000 is Il question which no
one seems able to answer.
