A State convention for the dis.
cussion Of rape and lynching and
whose object will be to find remedy for
existing conditions will probably be
called to meet in Atlanta, Georgia, as
soon as delegates can be selected from
the various counties of the State. This
movement, at first coming only as
suggestion, has found sufficient backing
and sentiment to cause 1t to assume
the proportions necessary for its success,
and 1t is said there is no doubt but
that the convention will be held and
every county in the State represented.
The convention will, 1t is said, not
meet for the purpose of oondoning the
crime, or cSnsuring the work OF out
ragged citizens who deal out summary
punishment'to the assailant. II is said
its purpose will be to suggest such
changes in the present law as to maf'

Recent Peace Negotiations Indicated
BY AguinaldO.

I4onday. May ?. -Representatives Of
the Filipinos junta say they have re-
ceived telegram from AguinaldO dated
April 30, in which he states that his
government has nothing to do with the
present peace negotiations, which he
asserts, are being conducted by a
group Of half-cast and creoles anxious
for peace in the expectation Of getting
high Offices under new government.
Several Of these, AguinaldO says, are
members of the Filipinos congress, where
they are endeavOring to outvote him
Aguinaldo added that he had had no
direct negotiations with the Americans
since the fall Of Malolos, when certain
proposals passed between Worcester Of
the American Philippine commission
and representative Of Aguinaldo,
looking to peace based upon indie
pendence with an American alliance.
Aguinaldo disavows the present ne
gotiations, and adds under no circum-
stances will ne accept an American
protectora1e.

The Post Office Department has issued
orders prohibiting the use of the mails
by Mr.. Edward Atkinson for the cir
culation of his snti-imperialist pamph-
let's. which he acknowledges in a news
paper interview to having sent to Amer
lean officers at Manila. No more COM
munications of this sort will get into
Manila. 1t is probable that the War
Department will not take any steps in
the way Of prosecution for sedition un-
less there should be further develop
ments showing that the activity OF the
Anti Imperialist League is persisted IN
and is having an effect injurious to the
good order and discipline Of our army
in the Philippines. Care will be taken
TO guard against seditious dispatches
being delivered at Manila, and the
orders of the Post Office Department
will guard against the mails being used
for this purpose. 1t is doubtful whether
Mr.. Atkinson's circulars, 1.-The Hell

have had as wide circulation as Mr.
Atkinson thinks Washington, ID. o.,
