PEACE SCHEME
Negotiations to Be Installed
Looking to a Settlement.

MANILA, April 18.-A, number of
'prominenta and wealthy Filipinos are
organizing committee to take steps
to bring about if possible an under
standing between the rebels and the
Americans.; Ono branch of this com
mittee intends to ask the United States
Philippine commission to make a
statement as to what terms would be
offered the rebels if the latter will
surrender. -.
e Another branch of the committee
will approach Agufnaldo, with terms
and endeavor to persuade him to ac-
cept them. 1t is considered doubtful,
however, if any members of the COM
mittee will dare to personally confer
with the rebel leader. The committee
includes several parsons recently con-
demned to death by Aguinoldo for
petitioning him to cease fighting.

NOTES OF THE HARTFORD RACES,
When the two-minute race was called
peculiar state of affairs developed.
The judges, managers of the park and
representatives of two of the fast pac-
ers held a long consultation, during
which time the audience in the grand
stand and Others were waiting for the
horses to start. Several stories We're
circulated regarding the misunderstand-
ing the following being supposed to be
substantially correct 1t appears that
representatives of John r. Gentry 2:00
IL, Joe Patchen 2:01 IA, and Search
light 1903 IA, made arrangements for a
three-cornered race, each horse to re-
ceive a stipulated sum- The race to be
best two in three 1t was stated that
the management decided later to offer
more money and allow several other
horses to start. 1t was also stated that
e. H. Hartman sent telegram to An
drews, driver of John r. Gentry, in
structing him not to start.
At one time the story was circulated
that Joe Patchen would not start, but
the driver fortunately decided to start.
After a delay Of an hour field of five
PAGERS came up for race; best three
in five. The management were evident
ly not satisfied with the failure of Gen
try to start The case, as stated by one
of the judges, will probably go to the
board of review.
During the long wait occasioned by
the discussion the band played Dear,
