When Gen. Conception OF The Filipinos
surrendered his command to Mai.
March he objected very strongly to the
use OF the word ~''surrender'' in the stip
u!ations and Major March very tactfully
Changed the expression to "giye-up.''
w.'lch pleased the Filipino SO much
that he surrendered very gracefully.
Taxing this as a text,the Chicago Record,
republican. gives the past policy of the
administration Il dig, as follows:
"Inasmuch az the act of surrender "a
tbs vital thing to the United States, no
one will begrudge the Filipino general
the satisfaction he derives from avoiding
the use OF q word offensive to hun. Mai.
March used tact and good judgment in
thus humoring Gen. Conception. It. is
difficult to avoid the conclusion that
much OF our trouble in the Philipplnes
could have been avoided by the exercise
OF more tact on the pa. ! of commanding
officers in those islands. As civil gov
ernment is substituted for military rule
there will he even more need OF tact in
d Ealing with the Filipinos."

it was seen that she had distress flag

ooh, no, no!' he replied, smiling and
chuckling at the same time. No; it's
no joke. There will be no laughing
over it"
His tones were sarcastic, and for an
instant there was look of triumph in
his eyes. Then he turned away, and
gave the brig my attention. We ran
down to within half a mile of her be,
fore our engines were stopped. Only
three men were visible on her decks,
and she hadn't boat in sight The
trio beckoned and motioned that we
should send boat, and the captain
gave orders that one should be lowered.

with all the officers and most OF the
men down, and the surgeon was sent
off with the boat, which was in charge
Of the second mate. Eight Of our crew
were thus taken. The boat had pulled
half the distance to the brig when we
had something nearer home to attract
attention. The sleek, slick little Jim

the steamer was worked down along
side the brig. The sea was smooth,
and the fellows could lash the craft
together without fear Of disaster.

ROBERTS AT KROONSTAD
TraAsvaAlers Cross vaal to Fight On

TransvaAlers Cross vaal to Fight On
Their Own Soil.
LONDON, May 1.-THE situation at
the seat of war in South Africa is as
satisfactory from the British point of
view as the most sanguine friend could
have hoped week ago. The occupa-
ton of Kroonstad practically places
the whole Orange Free State in British
possession. 1t is evident from Lord
Roberts's last dispatch that the disin-
tegration has commenced. The Free
Staters are scattering to their homes,
while the Transvaalers have gone
northward, declining to fight longer
in the Orange Free State. What little
resistance the former still are likely to
make seems to be centering at Lind
ley, whittier President Steyn has
transferred his government. 1t is evil
dent that the strategy Of Lord Roberts
and the rapidity of his advance have
bewildered and disheartened the Beers,
as their resistance since the British
reached Zand river has been slight.
The war Office has received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Roberts:
"KRooNsTAD, May Ia entered
Kroonstad without opposition to-day,
when the Union Jack was hoisted
amidst cheers from the few British
residents. Steyn fled last evening,
after vainly endeavoring to persuade
the burghers to continue opposing us.
The Transvaalers said they would no
longer fight on Orange Free State soil
and made off for the Vaal river. Free
Staters accused the Transvaalers of
having made use of them and then de-
serting. Many of the Free Skaters
have gone to their homes. Before
leaving Kroonstad, President Steyn
issued proclamation making Lindley
the seat of government of the Free
State. Generals Botha and DeWet &C.
companied the Transvaalers."

committee on board, went down the
bay and ex-J udge Van Hoesen extend
ed a warm welcome to the delegates on
behalf of the city of New York. The
delegates were reticent concerning
their plans. Chairman Fischer said:
''We cannot say anything which may
hinder our cause. We should like to
have the COVE arbitrate with
England and undoubtedly we shall go
to Washington and try to have an au-
dience with President Mckinley. If
we cannot induce the government to
do what we like, we shall try to arouse
the people so that they will compel
the government to recognize us in that
Way."

HAVANA, May 16.-The extent of the
postal frauds is far greater than what
was originally expected. Besides TAX
ing in the postal department., the
frauds seem to include the local office
at Havana and various other offices
throughout the island, and also to
have extended to outside points which
have been used for the sale of some OF
the old issue of stamps that were
ordered destroyed. The result of the
investigation at the local 'postoftice is
the suspension of Postmaster Thomp-
son, who was installed in April of last
year. He will remain at his own
house for the present. Moya and
Mascara, stamp sellers IN the main
Office, have also been arrested, and
further arrests are expected. AS
many as six others have been placed
under the closest supervision, and
they will be arrested as soon as their
services can be spared. AS matter
of fact, if they were all to be suddenly
relieved of duty it would not be pos
sible to carry on the postal depart

Yellow Fever In Brazil Killed An But
Three Members.
Rio Janeiro, May 17.-One Of the
most disastrous accidents that ever
befell an opera company was the al
most complete destruction by yellow
fever of an Italian opera company
which gave performances recently IN
the City of Manor, Amazonas, ana
other cities in central Brazil. The first
evidence of the dreadful disease MADE
it's appearance when several members
Of the company attended. a masked
ball. Upon returning from the a1alr
the director OF the company, Sig. SOL
mix, was taken sick and died OF the
fever three hours later. Shortly after
the leading prima donna, Theresa
zeicchi, developed symptoms of the
fever, which frightened her into hys-
terics. In paroxysm she bit her ton
que through and bled to death.
Twelve members of the company were
then taken with the fever and died,
only three surviving. Those who es-
capped took their departure from the
country for Genoa.

Students Attack the Police.

Lincoln, Neb., May 1S.-The ill-feel-

years between the students of the
state university and the police of this
city eliminated in pitched battle in
front Of police headquarters. More
than 300 students assailed the city hall
with stones, breaking windows and
creating a general disturbance. The
attack was resented by two policemen,
who were at once set upon and rough
ly handled by the students. In the
mixup Patrolman Harr suffered a
broken leg and several Of the students
were severely injured. Chief Of Police
Hergland announced that arrests may
follow
