AGUINALDO TO SURRENDER.

A PRIMITIVE MAIL SERVICE.
Relic of Antiquated Spanish En-
terprise in the Island of Cebu,
i'm the Philippines.

Washington, May 20.-The operations
of the former Spanish postal system on
the Island of Cebu, in the Philippines
are interestingly described in Il letter
dated April s, just received by Post
master-General Smith, from Director
of Posts Naille, at Manila. who writes:
Opposed Only by Protest.
''When our forces took possession Of
the town of Cebu, it was done con-
trary to the wishes of Filipino officials
il. charge, but without armed opposi-
Iiun.
Filipino officials continue to admin
lister all departments except thai Of
-Ie captain of the post and the Cebu
post office. This will probably be
changed to a considerable extent 1T
once, as officers detailed to administer
al: airs there were sent to Cebu on the
same steamer with me, but had not
taken hold when l left.
Modelled After the Spanish.
''The Filipinos had in effect Il service
modelled exactly after the plal OF the
Spanish. Each village or city had Il
chief called ''presidente local." instead
of, as formerly, under the Span
iards, the captain municipal" or
"gobernadorcillO."
Handled the Entire Mail.
ut was made part of the official
duties of the presidente local to handle
all mail, registered or ordinary; to pro-
vide carriers for taking the mails to
the next village on the route, to keep a
record of such service and to keep on
hand a supply of stamps, for which he
paid cash, buying them of the secre-
tary of Hacienda at a slight discount.
lon the Island of Cebu there were
eight routes covering about all the viii
lagos on the island.
Mail Carriers without Salaries.
Every citizen is required to perform
Il days service each year for the gov
ernment, and the only pay the messen-
gers get for carrying the mails is that
such service is credited to the account
against the Is days due. As the trip
to the next village is credited as a
days work, and is much easier than a
full days work on highways, bridges
or public buildings, the mail service is
much sought after, and there is a reg
ulation that no citizen can perform
more than six days work as mail car
rier in one year. One carrier takes
the mail for Is or 20 towns. showing
the small amount of mail there. In
one dispatch of 13 letters every one
was official. Every boat leaving
port is required to carry the mail.

There Will be a Long Discussion and

London, May 2O.-The corresponds mt
of the Morning Post at The Hague
telegraphs as follows:
''An eminent member of the peace
conference says it is simply an act of
politeness to the czar and will yield
no practical result, simply because it
can not. The powers, he asserts, are
too disunited and watch each other too
closely to arrive at any understanding
in their programme. His prediction is
that there will be long discussion and
then a 'first-class burial of the czar's

The Blind Goddess.

intensely modern is the new murder story
by Randall Irving Tyler, entitled Ihs
Blind Goddess" There Is, II seems, evolu-
tion in murder stories as well as IN every
thing else.
Those who read Tyler's -Four Months
After Date" and said the book was clever
though perhaps weighted down with busl.
ness transactions, will tnd IN Ihe blnd
Goddess" just issued, novel drawn IN a
new vein, but full of dramatic climaSes-
To bring home the thoughts it contains to
many who never read murder stories, IN
cidents are used familiar to all who have
followed the recent poison cases.
The prosecuting officers theory OF the
crime, the appalling accusation OF the IN
nocent daughter of one of the murdered
men, the web of circumstantlal evidence
around and against man of unblemlshed
character, who is also accused, the defense
less position both of these people occupy
before the coroner, the subsequent lndlct-
ment without hearing before a magistrate
all these things make the reader think.
The underlying motive for the crime IN
PRODUCES diversion In the person OF an ad-
ventures, for whose presence no apology Is
offered, as it turns out that she Is the real
culprit.
The occasional glimpses Of an exclusive
social circle, the charming heroine Helen
Brownell, the strong willed but intensely
human Sanford Crane, offer opportunities
for Mr.. Tyler's ability in character sketch
ing which he has not neglected; even the
adventures challenges admiration ut times
by the boldness and coldness of her method.
The title, will be readily understood,
applies to the more serious side of the novel,
which has to do with prosecution for cap
ital crime; but the well-handled romance
running through it all and the satisfactory
denouement make 'The Blind Goddess" a
marvelously entertaining book, running over
with surprises in its movement and its lit
erary style. 1t is more than absorbing; IL Ia
compelling. Stuyvesant Publishing Com

the Filipino peace emissaries, Gen. Del

berto Barrato and Maj. Zelcita, arrived
here this morning.
Gonzaza is a member of the Filipino
cabinet; Barrato, military advocate,
and Zelcita is member of Aguinaldo's 8
staff.
Immediately upon their arrival they
were joined by Florinto Torres, Pablo,
Ocampo and Thedor Yancoar, the lat
ter being residents of Manila, who had
been named to cooperate with the en-
voys in the coming negotiations for
peace. \ meeting was at once held,
and as this dispatch is filed consul

1t is known, however, that the Fill
pinos' propositions are the same as
those previously conveyed-merely
suggesting an armistice pending a
meeting of the Filipino congress.
Gen. Otis has already declined to en-
tertain any such propositions.
