Will Make Terms.

Washington, May 18-General Otis
cabled the war department to-day as
follows:
Manila, May 18.-Adjutant General,
Washington: Representatives of the in
surgent cabinet and Aguinaldo, in the
mountains IL miles north of San Isidro,
which was abandoned on the 18th inst,
will send a commission tomorrow to
seek terms of peace. A majority of the
force confronting Macarthur at San
Fernando has retired to Tarlac, tearing
up two miles of railway, and the force
has decreased to about 1000. Scouting
parties and detachments are moving to-
day in various directions. Kobbe, with
the Columbia, is on the Rio Grande. A
great majority of the inhabitants of the
provinces over which the troops have
moved are anxious for peace, supported
by members of the insurgent cabinet
Aspect of affairs at present favorable.
"(Signed) OTIS"
Great satisfaction was expressed by
the war department officials with the
news contained in the dispatch of Gen
eral Otis. The belief was expressed that
the end of the insurrection was at hand.
The wisdom of refusing any terms to the
first commission and impressing the in
surgents is everywhere commended. On
this account no doubt is expressed that
the new commission, which is on its way
to Manila, will be ready to accept the
favorable terms which General Otis has
been ready to grant upon the actual
surrender and cessation eff hostilities.
The dispatch of General Otis was at
once sent to the president at Hot
Springs, Va. Secretary Alger said that
the situation was most encouraging and
that it was apparent the Filipines re-
allied the strength of the United States
and saw that resistance would mean eX-
termination for them if they persisted in
defying its authority. Speaking of the
part taken by the volunteers in the
Philippine campaign, the secretary says
that instead of wishing to be home, they
would not have missed the fight as it
was an event in their lives, especially as
the hard fighting has been crowned with
success.

as the Americans control most of the
ports. He also reminded them that a
liberal form of government was offered
them and pointed out that it was better
than the conditions existing under
Spanish rule.
Gonzaga, president of the Filipino
commission, replied that nothing could
be worse than Spanish rule, and admit
ted that the form of government pro
posed was liberal.
After conference tomorrow with the
United States commissioners will lunch
with Prof. Schurman and will after
wards visit the vessels composing the
American feet.

In Cuba.

Havana, May 19.-Havana is in fer
ment again, over the idea that the Wash
ington administration has determined to
take the arms Of the Cuban troops and to
retain them in military possession. This
view of the latest news from Washington
has been telegraphed to the various
cities. Governor General Brooke is
thus far unaware, save through the
press kilograms, of any dissatisfaction on
the part of General Alger, secretary of
war, with his General Rrooke's) plan to
have the arms deposited in the care of
the mayors of the municipalities, nor has
he received any other inkling of the
secretary's purpose to lay the matter be-
fore President Mckinley. Consequently,
unless instructions to the contrary are
received from the Washington admins
tration, the governor generals order
respecting the disposition of the S3,000,-
600 will be carried out.
The secretary of war has been inform
ed as to the substance of this order in
the usual course of business. The man
ifest of Gomez was objected to by the
military authorities, on account of his
not urging the disbandment of the army.
He has been requested to include such
advice to the corps commanders and has
promised to consider the question. His
attitude at headquarters yesterday was
quite different from his previous bearing
and it soon became evident that he
wished to discontinue giving any advice,
even on the subject of payment to the
troops.

"You don't mean to say" said an

Same Old Demand.

s. Manila, May 20.-Two military and
two civil Filipino commissioners, ap-
pointed to cooperate with three citizens
of Manila in negotiating terms of peace,
arrived here at 8:15 a. m. today. They
have submitted no new proposition, but
want an armistice, pending the session
of the Filipino congress. Major Gen
eral has refused to entertain the pro
DOSal.

1t is generally conceded that further
opposition to American Sovereignty is
useless and ridiculous. Neither Luna

special assignment.

What Sing Song of Six Pence
Means.

You all know this rhyme, but
have YOU ever heard what it really
means!
The four and-twenty blacks
birds represented the twenty~four
hours. The bottom of the pie is the
world, while the top crust is the
sky that Overarchcs it. The open
ING of the pie is the day dawn,
when the birds begin to sing and
surely such sight is fit for a
king.
The king, who is represented as
sitting in his paylor counting out
his money, is the sun, while the
gold pieces that slip through his
fingers, as he counts them, are
the golden sunbeams.
The queen, who sits in the dark
kitchen, is the moon, and the
honey with which she regales her.
self Is the moonlight.
The industrious maid, who is
in the garden at work before her
king-the son-has risen, is day
dawn, and the clothes she hangs
out are the clouds. The bird
who, so tragicaIly ends the song
"nipping off her nose is the
sunset. So we have the whole
day, if not in nutshell, in a pie.

BISHOP TURNER PREFERS
SLAVERY.
Present Situation of the Negro
Very Unsatisfactory. TO
Afl lea He Must Go.

Athens, Ga, April Bishop
Henry Nj. Turner preached today
at Bethel African Methodist
Episcopal church and to the white
people at the court house. The
sermon to the negroes urged
them to conduct themselves arirht
and to teach their children to
observe law and religion. He
said the newspapers of Georgia
had done the negro preachers
great injustice by saying they
were not preaching to their con
gregatiOns against the crimes of
murder, rape and arson. He said
the ministers did preach against
such crimes; he ALWAYS did: and
that the newspapers, as rule,
knew as much about what the
negro preachers were saying as n
gang of Monkeys, for they did
not, in many instances, have re-
porters at churches to report the
sermons.
During his address to the white
people, Bishop Turner said he
would prefer to see his people,
the black race, again in slavery,
afforded them protection, than in
their present condition. He sees
little future in this country for
the negro, in competition with
the white race. He does not be-
lieve 1T possible to bring about
assimilation or equality, lacking
which there must continue to he
race prejudices. The negro was
brought to America, he said, by
divine will, and taught by OK
ample the basis of a high civiliza.
ton. Now it is manlfestly the
will of God that the negro should
go back to Africa and civIlize the
savage races there. The race
question, he concluded, would
never be settled until the black
man returned to his native coun-
try.
Bishop Turner is the leading
figure in the African NJ. f. church,
south. He is much respected by
the whites and revered by the
negroes. He is 32d degree
Mason.

Child Saved an Unfortunate Lawvar

He is a prominent lawyer in this
city. His daughter is seven years Of
age, and walked to the gate with him
one day last week. The little girl
kissed her hand to him until he turned
the corner, He returned the salutation
each time, That night when he came
home his wife had an icy stare for
him. He wanted to know the trouble,
but she only answered Nothing" Any
question from him received a short.
sharp yes" or mo-" After supper she
called him into another room and
said: Mr.. -, Mrs. -, our next
door neighbor, was over to see me this
afternoon. She informed me of your
conduct when you walked down the
street throwing kiss after kiss to her.
She SAID her husband was not at home
or he would shoot you. Will you please
invent some plausible excuse that I
can give to my nelghbor to explain
away your reprehensible conduct?" He
was up against the knottiest proposi1
tion of his life. He thought long and
hard and finally the light dawned unon
MIN. He rushed frantically out Of the
room and returned with his beloved
child in his arms. Daughter" he said,
please tell your mother what you and
papa were doing after dinner today"

So quickly was the prosecution dis

sian violets, with the mounts of violet

Cupids playing cats cradle is the
charming painted decoration of one of
the Duchess of York's fans. The white
rose of York is in evidence upon many
of these ladyssf fans.
A court Rdy of Munich has a col
lection of'fans painted with scenes
from all of Wagner's operas. And this
grand dame has fan on which are
the signatures of all the diplomats who
attended some famous congress held at
Berlin. Countess Oriola has the most
valuable autograph fan in the world.
1t has the autograph of all the royal
family and the Berlin court, including
those of Prince Won Bismarck and
Count Moltke.
A fan was painted to commemorate
the signing of the treaty of Utrecht.
and is of great historical interest. 1t
belongs to New York lady, MISS Fur
Miss. 1t is inscribed: "Por ell amor de
la Pay"
Another fan which possesses histori-
TS-
poses in the castle of Monza, near Mi
Ian, Italy, This precious toy dates
from the first century and was the
property of her majesty Queen Theo-
belinda. 1t is made of leather, gilt and
bejeweled, and folds in two on some
sort of hinges. When open, it is
rectangular, the leaves being square.
The gold handle is inlaid with gems.
Nine. Pompadour had wonderful
fan. The lace mount cost $50, 000 and
| 1t took some years to make the five
sections, each one containing a medal
lion or miniature, which are so. minute
as to be almost invisible to the naked
eye. 1t is now in existence, broken
and apart, but still shows traces of its
great beauty.
There is a gruesome tale that while
Charlotte Corday, who was a devotet
of the fan, stabbed Marat with ont
hand she used her fan with the other.
In Mrs. Langtry's fanroom, designed
for her by Oscar Wilde, the create
number of fans are Dutch.
The finest one of Christine Nilsson
collection of fans was given to her b,
the Thakore Sahib of Morri, and i
made of gold, gems and feathers. An
other one is covered with diamonds
rubies, pearls and emeralds. On
presented to her by the city of Venic

of the choice bits of this collection
which is valued at $4,000, is the fa
which Marie Antoinette had with he
