MAY BE ONLY A RusE.
Aguinaldo Is Suspected of Merel.
Seeking Time to RccuDerate.


Manila, May 1.-7:5o p. m.-Agui-
naldo is evidently selecting the army
as a cloak for his congress, hoping by
snbterfuge to overcome General Otis
consistent policy of ignoring the Fill
pino government. The Filipinos' ar
gument is that it is impossible to ar
range an armistice without tie sane
ton OF congress. General Otis pune
tured this assumption by remarking
that if Aguinaldo could make war
without the congress he could stop it
without reference to that body. One
of the conferees afterward remarked
that they are shrewder than white
men in diplomacy, as the Malays are
credited with being.
While the insurgents are undoubt-
eddy tired of war, the leaders are torn
with dissensions.
There is a suspicion that it was
hoped by means of Il conference to as
certain what they could expect. If they
saw that anything is to be gained by
continuing the war, an armistice
would afford them an opportunity for
recuperating their demoralized forces.
1t is an interesting commentary up
on Aguinaldo's scheme that only sixty
of the 30o members of the Filipino con-
gress have taken the oath of allegiance
which their constitution requires.
A Filipino proclamation, replying to
the proclamation of the American
commissioners, has appeared. 1t is
signed by Mndini, for the president,
and is dated at C%aniasdro, April 10. 1t
is in the usual grandiose style, and de
clares that President Mckinley issued
the proclamation in order to force the
American congress to ratify the ces..
sion of the islands under the treaty of
Paris.
This contract or ccssion vds made
with Spaninrds, after Spanish domina-
ton had been ended by the valor of our
troops" the proclamation asserts. The
proclamation complains that the Fill
during thu negotiations of the treaty
and that they are without assurances
of the fulfilllnent of American prom
Uses. 1t diIates upon the alleged An
glo-Saxon hatred of blacks and asserts
a desire to enslave them. Deploring Il
lack of foreign aid in prosecuting the
wal the proclamation concludes:
eve stand alone, but W. will fight 10
the death. Future generations will
pray over our graves, shedding tears
of gratitude for their freedom"

chitecture to be seen in the French
capital. Until the revolution there its
upper floors were let to old men and

the longest head of hair in the world
is Mercedes Lopez, a Mexican. Her
height is five feet and when she stands
erect her hair trails on the ground
four feet eight inches. The hair is so
thick that she can completely hide her
self in it. She has it cut very fre-

her to sell.large tresses to hair dealers

War department officials are very

to the Filipino delegation. 1t is con-
sidered as COMFORTING with the dig
nifty of the United States, as it would
not be possible for the United States
to recognize the existence of the Fill
Pine congress or Filipino government.
It is believed that when Otis reply is

GOOD AS A GUIDE o o
Now Mrs. Barnes Succeeded in silencine
a Bore.

People who have travelled are apt to
think that their conversation should con-
sist largely of descriptions of the diff
ferent places they have visited. Mr..
Horatio Rarnes and his friend, Mr..
Smith, had passed a year in Europe and
had not been at home very long before
Mrs. Barnes began TO look upon Mr..
Smiths frequent visits at the house as a
kind of intiiction, says the Youths Com
panioa. No sooner were the two men
seated than they began to descant upon
the glories Of Paris or the beauties of
some other foreign city. Mrs. Barnes
had never been abroad, but she was q
woman who had read widely aud could
converse a%cceptably and she decided
that for the present she had heard
enough about her husbands travels. /,
"No doubt you enjoyed Cordova" she
remarked one evening, when the gen.
tlemen had reached Spain in the course
Of their "tireside travels"
"Oh. certainly, Mrs. Barnes. Small
place, but interesting" answered Mr..
Smith. briskly.
"The scenery there must have delight
ed you and if You visited any of the
homes of the nobility you were doubt
less impressed by the number of beauti-
full paintings on their walls. Why, in
II SALON in Cordova there are pictures
by Alonzo Cano, Murillo, Corot,
Landellc and Bouguereau."
"Yesp" responded hfr. Smith. well,

Mr.. Smith took his departure, with an
inward vow never to introduce the sub
ject of foreign travel again.

Mr.. Barnes asked, as . rs his friend
