CUBAN POSTAL AFFAIRS.
Special Delivery Stamps to BE the
Next Innovation.

Special delivery stamps will be the next
innovation in Cuba. In accordance with
the Recommendation of Director of Posts
Rathbone. the Post Office Department has
sent 10000 Special Delivery stamps over
printed with the words Cuba 10 Centavo
de Pesos" Director Rathbone believes a
special delivery service in Cuba will be OF
great benefit, and as soon as he receives
the stamps will inaugurate the system in
Havana If successful there it will be ex-
tended to the principal cities throughout
the island
1t is the purpose of the Post Office De-
partment to get up distinctive stamp Of
the special delivery style. What is
wanted in the shape of a design is one
enbIemattic of Cuba and suggestive of
quick delivery. The other Cuban stamps
descriptions of which have already been
given in The Star are now being printed
by the bureau of engraving and printing
and as soon as they are received will be
sent to Cuba for immediate circulation.

ADvICES FROM DIR. sCHURMAN.
He Says That the FiIipines Seem Dis
cOuraged by Recent Defeats.


In accordance with the expectation of the
State Department, the Philippine commits
sion has now resumed full activity. 1t was
deemed inexpedient for the body to. under
take to influence the insurgents while the
latter were swollen with pride and conceit
and were consequently unapproachable. 1t
was the intention, however, TO let no op-
portunity pass to bring these misguided
people to reason. and now that Gen. Otis
campaign has probably convinced the Ia
gals of the impossibility of standing before
the American forces it was deemed timely
to again address the insurgents, in the hope
that they could be brought to see the use
lessness of a further struggle against the
United States arms.
The State Department was today notified
by a cablegram from DR.. Schurman, presi-
dent of the Philippine commission, that the
expected proclamation would be issued to-
day. He stated that the document would
be about 500 words in length and briefly
stated the points in the proclamation.
DR.. Schurman says that after a month"; s
personal observation and interviews with
different classes of people he finds that the
insurrection had its origin and strength in
the Tagalog provinces around Manila The
remaining provinces of north and south
Luzon are peopled by different races, and
the rest of the archipelago are not natural
allies of the Tagalogs, bat unfriendy rivals.
During the months while the treaty of
peace was being negotiated at Paris the
Tagalogs sent detachments of from 80 to
200 men to all the other provinces to seize
governments as robbers hold up trains.
The liberty of the population was con-
strained; supremacy was enforced, as there
were no American forces present to expel
the Tagalogs. He says the recent victories
have had a good effect everywhere. With
a growth of a general feeling of security,
the populations will doubtless declare for
the United States. The Philippine people
seem discouraged by the valorous, swift
and irresistible movements of the Anleri-
can troops, against which their elaborate
defensive works were useless.

DR.. DAILY said chemists from other depart

authorized to do SO, they did not sign the
report. He said an impression had got
abroad that this residuum has been secured
from beef obtained by him at Tampa, but
he wanted it plainly understood that the
residuum was from refrigerated beef on
the Panama That was three months after
he was at Tampa.
When asked concerning canned roast
beef, he said he preferred not going into
that question for the reason that he had
nothing especially to offer in evidence but
he said he did not consider the canned
roast beef fit for food for soldiers. When
asked by Major Lee whether there was any
further statement he could make, the wit
ness replied:
