THE SITUATION AT SAMOA.
1t is Considered Critical as the Rebels Are
Again Moving on APia-They Control
the Supply of Food.

LONDON, May 3.-A dispatch from
Wellington, N. H., says that the stu
alton at Apia is serious as the rebels
control the food supplies and are again
drawing near the town, after with
drawing into the interior.
The orders for cessation of hostili-
ties sent by the three governments is
condemned by the English and Amer
leans, who believe that serious conse-
quences will result if the Mataafans
are not promptly subdued by force
The Germans and rebels are jubilant
and claim a victory over the British
and American forces. The American
vice consul's store at Falifa was loot
ed while German store adjoining was

HARD TO GET.
The Girls Were Learning TO MIKE
Hair Flowers and They
Wanted White.

A venerable white-haired clergyman re-
Gently preached in the church of friend.
He had hardly got back to the vicarage
from the church when the door bell rang
and young lady asked to see him. He re-
celved her. They talked about the sermon
and other things, until finally she asked,
diffidently:
'Oh, won't you please give me a lock of
your. hair?"
Certainly, my child" said the old gentle
man, battered at the request ''Ill send it
to you tomorrow" And he did.
On his return to his own home he had
hve more requests of the same kind, and
he proudly boosted to his wife that he was
glad to see that he had not yet lost his
power to please. All went well until his
wife received this note:
Dear Mrs. Fourthly: Won't you please
ask your husband to send me Just little
lck of his hair? We have all been taking
lessons in making hair flowers So many Of
the other girls asked him, and he sent it to
them, that l thought l would rather ask
you to get it for me. Won't you please do
this for me. 1t is so hard to get white hair
for lilies of the valley"
This was terrible blow, and the less
now said about locks of hair in that old
gentleman's presence the better-Cincin-

TOWN OF SANTO TOMAS FALLS
After Severe Engagement Gen. Whe atoms
Force Enters the PIace-Gen.
AgpinaIdo's Duplicity.

MANILA, May At noon Thursday
zen. Macarthur was assaulting the
town of Santo Tomas about five miles
northwest of Calumpit.
The Americans are fighting for the
bridge and the rebels are burning the
town.
LONDON, May 4.-Advices have been
received from Manila that Gen.
Wheaton captured Santo Tomas after
severe fight with the insurgents. The
insurgents were routed and the town
was nearly destroyed by fire.
LawtOn's brigade is advancing to-
ward Massin, where the insurgents
are expected to make another stand.
MANILA, May 4.-The Filipino en-
voys, Maj. Mauel Arguelles and Lieut..
Jose Bernal, have abandoned the pre-
tense under which they came to Gen,
Otis that they represented Gen. An
tonic Luna, and Wednesday they an
nounced that they came as representa-
tives of Aguinaldo himself. The en-
issaries used all their wiles to secure a
reply from Gen. Otis to the letter from
Senior Mabini, Aguinaldo's prime
minister and minister of foreign af-
fairs in the dictator's cabinet" which
they presented to Gen. Otis on
Tuesday; but Gen. Otis refused to
make any reply, on the ground that to
10 so would be equivalent to a recog-
milton of the so-called government of
the Filipinos.
There was a conference lasting two
hours Wednesday between Maj. Gen.
E. 5. Otis and the ENJOYS who came
here from Gen. Antonio Luna, bear
ing proposal for a cessation of hos
tilities.
Gen. 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 with
the insurgent leaders and others of the
island. The ENJOYS admitted the con-
tention of Gen. Otis that Aguinaldo
has little control over affairs outside
of the island of Luzon.
The question of the release of Span
ish prisoners in the hands of the Fill
pinos mentioned, Maj. Manuel Arguel-
les, the chief member of the deputa-
ton, said that he considered them as
being in the same category with the
Americans, the United States being
the successor of Spain in dominion over
the island and acquiring by treaty all
Spanish rights and obligations.

A HEARTS OUTPOURING.
There Was Something About FIavius
That Was Somewhat Eff
6uviOus.

Pinkie Billmore sat with her face half
averted from him.
In the young mans flushed cheek, trem-
bling lip and agitated manner there were
unmistakable signs of coming outburst
The emotions of an overcharged heart
could be crushed down no longer.
Flavius JOsephus Allllsap was no stranger
to the Bllmore mansion. He pervaded it
three or four evenings every week, as rule,
and oftener still as frequent exception.
Everybody in the house, from the aged
grandmother to the kitchen lady, knew he
came to see Miss Pinkie.
Even Miss Pinkie knew it, despite the
fact that he had never explicitly said so.
In like manner he knew she was perfectly
willing for him to pervade the mansion, ac-
cording to rule or exceptionally, though she
had never actually expressed herself to that
effect.
Yet she sat with her face half averted
from him.
Such is the contradictory, tantalizing. ex-
asperating habit of the young woman of all
climes, kndreds, tongues, and periods of the
worlds history.
Young woman Young woman! What
an abject fool thou hast made of the wor-
Shipping young man from time immemorial,

"You. know well enough it isn't that,

Then I'm sure"
"Pinkie-"
He made a slight motion as if to take her
hand.
But she still sat with her face half avert
ed from him.
"Pinkie, why do you think I've been COM
ing here for the last six months?"
Seven months" she murmured.
This was not encouraging, on the face of
it, but he went ahead:
'The fact of the matter is, Pinkie Bill

She put up her hand.

ASK MORE TIME.
Filipino Commissioners Renew Re.
quest for Cessation of Hostilities.
~ Is Possible the Negotiations are Giving
me insurgents Much Needed OPP
portunity to Rehabilitate Their
Demoralized Forces.

MANILA, May 3.-Mai. Manuel Ar.
gueleses and Lieut.. Jose Bernal, of the
stan OF Gen. Antonio Luna, returned
mere Tuesday to renew and press the
request of Gen. Luna for a cessation of
hostilities. They have found the field
OF labor most uncongenial one. The
two officers were received in confer
ence by Maj. Gen. E. S. Otis. The pro-
posals which they had to submit diff
Tered but slightly from those which
they brought from the Filipino COM
mander IN the first place. They desired
a little time in which to summon
congress, and expressed themselves as
being confident that the congress will
decree peace, because the people desire
IL. they represent that Aguinaldo is
without power to surrender the army,
and that the congress must decide that
question. Incidentally, the Filipinos'
ENJOYS asserted that Aguinaldo had
not yet made a fair test of his strength
against the American forces. because
only one-third of his army had been
assembled together.
The ENJOYS presented letter from
Senior Mabini, president and minister
OF foreign affairs in the cabinet of
Aguinaldo, and who is the backbone of
the Filipino organization. The COM
munication is personal and unofficial,
and seconds Maj Arguelesese's argu-
ments. The ENJOYS will see Gen. Otis
again Wednesday. They will stop
Tuesday night in Manila. They
lunched with Gen. Macarthur at his
headquarters, on car of the armored
train at Calumpit, before going to Ma
Mia
Whether or not Gen. Luna is sincere
IN his overtures, the negotiations are
giving the insurgents much needed
opportunity to rehabilitate their de-
moralized forces. The truth is that
.dlssentions among the leaders of the
rebels is helping on the disorganiza-
ton of the Filipino army almost as
much as the American campaign.
In the course of the conference with
the Filipino ENJOYS Gen. Otis
agreed with the statement of
MAJ Argueleses that the people
OF the Philippine islands wanted peace,
and he added that requests for protec-
ton are pouring in on him from all
parts of the country. Maj. Gen. Law
ton was engaged in hard fighting
early Tuesday morning. Telegraph
communication was cut at o'clock
Tuesday morning, and there have been

MANILA, May 3.-The Americans
have resumed offensive operations.
Gen. Hale's brigade started east from
Calumpit early Tuesday morning, NOV
ing along the river toward Gen. Law
tons position.
Gen. Lawton's men routed a consid-
cradle body of the enemy at San
Rafael, IS miles east of Calumpit, DUR
ing the night. The Americans lost one
killed and FIVE wounded. The rebels
lost heavily.

MAJ. GEN. MILES WAS WRONG.
The Report OF the Bee- Court of Inquiry
Win Be Made Public soon-It is sat
issactory to the President

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The president
sat up very late Tuesday night going
over the report of the beef court of in
quiry and making it ready for publica-
ton. 1t is said that it will be given
out within the next SO hours. The
president is entirely pleased with the
verdict of the court and not only be-
cause its findings are satisfactory, but
because the report itself is so strong
and convincing in its language as well
as exhaustive in its character that be-
You'd doubt justifies its findings.
The president also believes that the
report, by its convincing proof, will
for the first time, set the vexed ques-
ton before the public in its right
light. In the first place, the president
submitted 20 propositions to the court,
these questions being the guidance
in the inquiry. The court has
brought in its findings in the
shape of categorical and explicit an
swers to each question. This has al
lowed the court to not only show how
Gen. Miles has been wrong and his
charges unfounded, but it is enabled
to place before the public in a most
convincing manner the exact condi-
tions and truth in regard to the beef
used by the army. The following ex-
amples give some idea about the re-
port:
The president asked: Ibid the COM
handing officers in Santiago or Porto
Rico, or the major general command
ing, report during the war that either
the refrigerated beef or canned beef
was an unfit fation?"
The court replies that neither Gen.
Miles nor any other commanding Off
Ger so reported.
when were these reports first made,
and by whom?"
This gave the court opportunity to
point out that Gen. Miles made no re-
port and never called attention to the
matter until months after the war
closed, when he made his allegations
before the commission on investiga-
ton of the war and in the newspapers.
The story # the false scare by DR..
DAILY is set for>h in detail and with
scathing criticism.
IF the allegations from the general
commanding are established want the
court to find the cause and fix the re-
sponsibility for the fact, that the guilty
may be properly punished" the presi-
dent commanded.
The report replies that the allega-
tions have not been esta blished in
any degree. Gen., Miles and others
who have shared in the
origin and circulation of these
unsustained charges are not spared.
Their conduct is made to appear in it's
true light. The president believes the
complete exposure of this conduct to
the public ought to be sufficient pun
ishment. But he will insist that Gen.
Miles and the other officers censured
shall submit to the findings. The con-
trOverSy must end now.
