She was about fifteen when I last
saw her: she must be in the vicinity Of
eighteen now
My young friend, you'll agree that I
am rather too old g, man to go ito any
raptures about female beauty. You
saw my wife and daughters; they are
good enough for me; they are my mod
els among women. Yet ] must say
that Coralie Bostocl-, when Hast saw
her, was the finest girl that ever laid
eyes on; and suppose that she is to-
day the most beautiful one at the south.
There are not many pure native
blondes among us; she is one. But her
hair, her eyes, her eyebrows and long
lashes are dark as midnight. !.
She was slender, but not petite, in
figure; her smile would captivate you;
her laugh was more musical than the
song of the hooking bird. Her man
ners were winning and gracious, even
from a little girl. S.. ....$>
She seemed the very apple Of her
fathers eye. At one time he took her
down to New Orleans, and left her
with the Sisters Of the Sacred Heart to
be educated But he could not do
without her. In less than month he
had brought her home, and from that
time he had her teachers here in the
house half the year. She learned
quickly; music and the languages
seemed to come to her like a second
nature. And never did child more
warmly reciprocate a parents lavish
affection than did Coralie that of her
father.
Time passed on, and that fatal April
of 1858 came round.
TO BE CONTINUED.

But Will Not Do So Now Except
Upon What he Calls Hon

MANILA, May 4.-Sp m.-The Fill.
Pine ENJOYS, Major Manual Argueleses
and Lieutenant Jose Bernal, have aban.
doned the pretense under which they
came to General Otis, that they repre-
sented General Antonio Luna, and have
announced that they came as represent
atiyes of Aguinaldo himself The two
emissaries used all their wiles to secure
a 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 Aguinaldos representatives that
the American authorities mean to give
the Filipinos a good government and
not one Of the Spanish sort.
MANILA. May 40 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 a 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 wit
the insurgent leaders and others of tt
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.

Consulted by All the Prominent
Men Of the Island, Including
j. Gomez.
Her Son, Carlos Cespedes, Will in
All Probability Be President
Ofthe Island.

HAVANA, May 4.-The future of Cuba
will probably be largely influenced by
woman, Nine. Cespedes, whose salon
is visited by the best known men, not
only Of Havana, but of the entire island.
General Gomez is constant visitor and
welcome guest Of this lady, and dimes
with her from three to five times
week. Nine. Cespedes is the widow of
the first president Of Cuba in the ten
years war, and decisions reached at her
salon are far more effective than any
decree passed by the recently defunct
Cuban assembly. Men Of standing who
are devoted to the principle of Cuban
national independence are welcomed to
the salon and assist in its councils. It is
believed by persons who are in a posi-
ton to know, that full understanding
has been reached by Nine. Cespedes
and General Gomez, regarding Cuba's
future, and the first real president Of
the proposed republic, for all of the
former presidents have had Office with
out power. At one time General Gomez
was seriously considered for the presi-
dency, but after the action of the as
sembly in assailing his course it was
considered that his candidacy would
probably meet with strong opposition.
AS result of conversations at Nine.
Cespedes salon it is asserted that the
first president of Cuba shall be Carlos
Cespedes son Of the war president.
The party of General Gomez believe
that it is none too early to begin move
ment in behalf of Carlos Cespedes as
they expect that American occupation
Of the island will end before next sum-
mer and probably by April, 1900. It is
represented that Carlos Cespedes pos
sesses every quality that is likely -
make him popular with the masses
throughout the island.

but should the 1900 men up Canyon

cope with them.
The regulars. on arrival, were met by
hundreds of people who gave them an
