When Love Is Young.

In summer. when the days are long,
The roses and the lilies talk
Beneath the trees young lovers walk,
And glad birds coo their wooing song.

Any Terms Now.

torious Advance = Confident That
the End Is Near at Hand.
Surrender Inevitable.

Washington, May 1s.-War depart
ment officials are firmly convinced that
the end in the Philippines is at hand
and the insurgent cabinet and Aguin
aldo, who are to meet General Otis to-
morrow, will succumb to the inevitable
and surrender. Their forces, 1T is said
at the department. are evidently so de-
moralized by the persistent advance of
the Americans that they are ready to
accept peace on the best terms they
can obtain. Driven nerthWard to the
hills, as they have been, their fleeing
and scattered forces, disintegrated and
disheartened, no longer can be made to
force our victorious advance. Less than
a week ago General Luna was reported
Just north of San Fernando, where
General MacArthur's troops are con-
centrated, and in the neighborhood of
Bacolor with about 5000 rebels. To-day
General Otis reports that the remnant
Of his force, about 1000, have with
drawn to Tarlae, over 20 miles from
San Fernando. 1t is probable the re-
mainder of this force moved east and
joined the main body of the insurgents
which abandoned San Isidro and fled
northward to the point in which Aguin-
aldo is now sending his commissioners
to sue for peace. If this is a ruse to
gain time, which none of the officials
at the war department believe, it will
avail them nothing, as the Americans
will utilize the period during the nego-
tiations in reconnoitering the country
ahead of them preparatory to the re-
sumption of operations the minute the
negotiations fail.
The dispatch of two battalions of in
fantry yesterday to Jolo, the principal
town in Sulu archipelago, is the fourth
military expedition detached from the
main body of our troops. The Sulu
archipelago is a group of small islands
extending in crescent, like the Aleu-
tian islands, south of the Philippines.
There are no insurgents as far as
known in the Suiu group. The popula-
tion Of the islands consists Of aborigi-
| mes, Chinese traders and negroes.
There Is no absolute information at
| the war department concerning the
| present strength of the American forces
under Macarthur, Lawton and Kobbe
which have been operating against the
| insurgents north of Manila. The num-
Der of men, If each organization was up
| to it's maximum strength, would be 16,-
500, but it Is doubtful if their strength
totals 11000 men. MacArthur's troops

sents contributions made by that paper.
The total so far received by the ma

The following curcular to presidents
of boards of trade and chambers of COM
merce was sent out to-day by Chair
man Vanderslip:

RECRUITS FOR THE NAVY.
Men From the West and Middle West
Will BE Selected.

Washington, May 18.-Secretary of
the Navy Long is deeply interested in
the result OF an experiment which is to
be made under the direction of Capt.
John M. Hawley, for the enlistment of
800 or $50 men in the Middle West and
West. 1t is believed Western enlist
ments will quicken that sections inter
est in the navy. Many inquiries have
been received by the department from
the West by young men of adventurous
spirit who would like to join the navy,
but who cannot afford the expense of
travelling to New York or Boston with
the chance of rejection after their ar
rival. 1t is proposed, therefore, to send
recruiting officer through the West
next month to gather in 800 or $50 re-
cruits. Only bright and promising
American citizens between the ages of
1S and 25 will be taken. They must be
able to read and write.
Exceptional inducements are to be
offered those recruits in the shape of
long cruise on Admiral Farragut's
old flagship Hartford, which is now at
the Mare Island navy yard. She has
been thoroughly refitted at a cost of
about $3.50, 900. The recruits will be sent
to the receiving ship Independence at
San Francisco for several months Of
preliminary shaking down" and then
will embark upon the Hartford for
New YORK, either by way OF cape Horn
or across the Pacific to China, thence
around India. and through the Red
sea and the Mediterranean. Her execu-
tive officer will be Lieutenant Com
mander Alex Sharp, a nephew of Gen
eral Grant who distinguished himself
during the recent war as the COM
mander of the auxiliary yacht Vixen,
which was attached to Schley's flying
squadron. In addition to the recruits,
she will carry $50 experienced men.
Upon arrival in New York the recruits
will be assigned to warships. If this
experiment is success, as Captain
Hawley confidently expects. it will be
repeated with a view to the enlistment
of more WeSterners.

MISREPRESENTATION.
Germany Insists That Her Position Hasn't
Been Correctly Stated.

Washington May 1S.-The German
ambassador DR.. Won Holleben, called
at the state department to-day and had
a talk with Secretary Hay, in the
course of which, it is understood, refer
ence was made to the opening day OF
the sessions Of the peace conference at
The Hague. Some of the structures on
the probable course of Germany before
the conference which have appeared IN
print, have caused considerable irrita-
tion. as they are felt to misrepres1lt
the aims and purposes of Germany. One
of these dispatches attributed to En-
peror William views regarding an In
evitable conflict between the United
States and Germany. Such an idea, it
is said must have originated in the
statement of an Austrian official some
months ago which never met with The
approval of the kaiser, who, it is point
ed out, both in person and through his
foreign minister, Baron Won Buelow,
and his ambassador, Dr. Won Holleben.
has given repeated assurances of
friendship. good will and admiration for
the United States. In the same quar-
ters discredit is thrown upon the state
ment that the czar expressed sympathy
with the American indignation against
Germany anent the Philippines, as it is
pointed out that the czar is not in the
habit of thus publicly expressing his
national sympathies.

CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
Mayor Jones of Toledo Makes Plea for
for Collective Effort.


Cincinnati. May 1S.-There was
large attendance on the second day of
the 26th national conference of chari-
ties and correction. President Hender-

read a paper on the prevention and
treatment or contagious diseases by
municipalities, and it was followed by
general discussion in which DR.. +.
Lyle laid stress on the necessity of
prevention of some contagion in cases
of tuberculosis.
Mayor Jones of Toledo read a lengthy
paper, entitled, Charity or Justice
Which?' He said:
able bodied men are ever walking
the streets, alleys and highways of our
country pleading for work, yet there is
no lack of useful and beautiful work
that ought to be done. Inasmuch as
private effort in this and private greed
have failed to find plan that will let
all who are willing to work have the
right to live! the time seems ripe for
collective effort to solve the problem;
inasmuch as labor produces all wealth,
let us have more wealth. Ruskin says:
The wealth Of a nation may be estl-
mated by the number of happy people
employed in making useful things"
Mayor Jones was frequently inter
rupted by applause. Tomorrow night
he will address a public meeting. His
presence is being used as the occasion
for demonstrations by those who favor

THE CZAR CONFIDENT,
Fnll of Hope That Arbitration win Be-

New York, May 1S-A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser. from William
II. Stead, who is at The Hague in the
interests of the peace conference saws;
while | cannot repeat directly any
thing the cZar said to me during our
interview few days ago at st. Peters
burg. 1t is permissible to tell America
that he is full of hope for results from
the peace conference.
So far from regarding war with the
United States as the inevitable destiny
of Europe, the czar expressed the ut
most confidence that the American
delegates will stand by those of Rus
sia, England and France in securing
the establishment of some definite
practical system of international arbi-
tration for all disputes turning on
questions of law. on interpreta ton of
treaties or an investigation of ques-
tions of fact.
THE czar also believes the Amer-
cans will favor recognition of the prin-
ciple of arbitration in all questions not
involving national honor and inter
est.
1T will be proposed that each power
name one of it's highest court judges
to act as permanent arbitrator, who
shall always be at the service of the
other powers when invited, thus effac-
ing politics and other influences in the
selection of members of the court of
arbitration.

General Brooke was instructed by the

Officials of the war department regard

Secretary Alger is highly indignant
over General Brooke's surprising dis

He has telegraphed to the president full

It is generally conceded that these de-

Great satisfaction was expressed by
the war department officials with the
news contained in the dispatch of Cen
eral Otis. The belief was express ed
that the end of the insurrection was at

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 of hostilities.
The dispatch of General Otis was at
once sent to the president at Hot

mission of Frightful Crime.

Cincinnati. May 1S.-James Weaver,
colored, aged II years, to-day confessed
to having poisoned his father, Woodson
Weaver, and his half-brother, John
Weaver, last Tuesday morning. John
Weaver died and Woodson Weaver,

found a box of Rough on Rats in

coffee pot A neghbor saw the boy
throw away the can which contained
the poison, and this led to the confess
