gram to the Globe-Democrat from
Manila says 1T is reported here that
Aguinaldo has decided to accept terms
of peace offered by the American Phil.

A PHENOMENAL ATTRACTION.

"Forever DEVILS Auction" - Several
Reasons Why 1t Is a Success.
Undoubtedly one of the most phe-
nomenal attractions theatrical in this
country is Chas. Fl. Yale's "Fo1ever
DEVILS Auction,' for, like its peculiar
ly prefixed title and Tennyson's brook,
it seems TO 90 on forever. For the
past three years there has been gen.
eral compl$intI from theatrical mana
gers regardfng the business played
throughout the country. Business
Bad" 'People not going to the
theater'' ''Bikes running business
etc., etc. has been the common cry.
Yet all the time the ''Devil's Auction"
has gone along the even tenor of its
way receiving satisfactory support from
its many patrons, otherwise it would
not in common sense Judgment have
been continued. and in reality playing
to its usual large business. Why this
attraction, now in the seventeenth year
of it's existence, could do this has been
to some surprise but the argument is
easily answered: First, careful and
41poA al Aoude5c"SuG. ooCOuu. plOuuCt-
i've ability of its management, the abil-
ity to keep abreast of the times, and
the entertainment keyed up'' to what
is demanded by the theater-going pub
lie. While the average manager has
been satisfied to go along with the
same old scenes, costumes, situations
and then wondered why business
dropped on return engagements. The
of the Devils Auction"
have looked upon their title as valua-
BILE piece of property of the same COM
modify as any large mercantile interest.
and they have by impressing upon the
public that their property would, as
usual, be better than before. At the

Army Short of Food. Diseased

Washington, May 1S.-General Otis
cabled the war department today as
follows:
"Manila, May 1S.-Adjutant Gen.
eral, Washington: Representative
insurgent cabinet and Aguinaldo,i in the
mountains twelve miles north Of San
Isidro, which was abandoned on the
10th inst, will send a commission
tomorrow to seek terms of peace.

retired to Tarlac, tearing up two miles
of railway, and the force has decreased
to about 1900. Scouting parties and
detachments moving today in various
directions Kobbe with the Columbia

"Great majority Of the inhabitants
of the provinces over which the troops
have moved anxious for peace and are
supported by members Of the insurgent
cabinet Aspect of affairs at present
favorable. (Signed) Otis
Great satisfaction was expressed by
war department. officials with the news
in the dispatch of General Otis. The
beliefs was expressed that the end of
the insurrection was at hand. The
wisdom of refusing any terms to the
first commission and impressing the
insurgents is everywhere commended.
On this account no doubt is expressed
that the new commission which is on
its way to Manila will be ready to &C.
cept the favorable terms which General
Otis has been ready to grant upon the
actual surrender and cessation of hos
tilities.
The dispatch of General Otis was at
once sent to the president at Hot
Springs, Va.
Secretary Alger said that the situa-
tion was most encouraging and that it
was apparent the Filipinos realized the
strength of the United States and saw
that resistance would mean extermina-
tion for them if they persisted in DEFY
ing our authority.
Speaking of the part taken by the
volunteers in the Philippine campaign,
the secretary said that instead of wish.
ing to be home they wouldn't have
missed this service, as it was an event
in their lives. especially as the hard
fighting has been crowned with success.
Manila, May Is, LAO p. m.-Two
Spanish prisoners who have just arrived
here from Neuva Civaka. say Agui-
naldo has lost prestige with the rebel
army, which is described as being COM
pletely demoralized, shsrt of food,
suffering from disease and afraid of
the Americans and rapidly dissolving
into bands of pillagers.
The prisoners add that Generals Pillar
and Luna are the only influential Fill
pinos who are continuing the resistance
to the Americans. Aguinaldo's per-
sonal retinue was recently relieved Of
its baggage and monney while on the
way from San Isidro to Cebanatan by
marauders. The Chinese are being
victimized everywhere by both rebels
and looters.
Buencamino, prominent Filipino
who was friendly to Spain and joined
i'll the compromise arrangements where
the Spaniards hoped to conciliate the
rebel leaders without sacrificing too
much, is reported as saying that Agui-
naldo is in doors crying. and blames
himself for the miserable condition OF
the country and is afraid to surrender.

 Shit has been instituted in the United States circuit court, which convenes at Helena in March. to foreclose a mort
 gage held ty the Southern Building & Loan association, of Knoxville, Tenn, upon the homestead of Mir. and Mrs. E. l.. Vadakin. It will be remembered that this is the company which was placed in the hands ot receiver a few
 years ago. thereby making it impossible for the shareholders 10 carry out their contracts. There are other mortgages
 in Forrest City held by this association,
 and they, too, will probably be fore
 closed, though of this the writer is not
 informed. At the time of the failure
 of the Southern, Mir. Vadakin had
 paid back upwards of S200 more than
 he borrowed, besides some S600 or $500 in interest. He. therefore. believes that he has carried out his obligations to the association and to his fellow shareholders and will ask the court to
 release his home. Messrs Norton & Prewett will represent the defendants i, in this suit, and if justice prevails over the technicalities of law and the in constituencies of applying the same rule to all borrowing members, no matter
 what the circumstances or the condi- tions of their accounts may be, there
 will be established an equitable pre- cetlenL in such cases which may here after come of unsuspecting patrons nf national building and loan associations.
