which would break off the present confer
ence. An agreement may be reached at any
moment but this would more likely be the
result Of semi-%independent action by Lord
Miner and Lord Kitchener at Pretoria
than Of the rather involved conditional
decisions Of the Cabinet at London.
The broad lines Of Great Britain's terms
are now known to the government repre-
sentatives at Pretoria. and on these repre-
sentatives the Cabinet is apparently shift
ing the responsibility of taking advantage
OF all opportunities. provided no cardinal
principles be sacrificed. The government
has ordered the cable and telegraph lines
between London and Pretoria to be kept
clear to insure the prompt transmission of
Lord kitchener'S messages.
There Is good reason TO believe that the
Beers are vigorously demanding a repre-
sentative government and that this demand
is opposed with equal vigOr by the British
representatives 1t is understood that the
Beers strongly object TO the long delay pro-
posed by Great Britain before a representa-
tive government be granted the former re-
publics and that they also insist on the
number of BOer seats in the Council being
specified. 1t is expected the Cabinet will
reassemble tomorrow TO discuss the matter
further.

day at Pretoria Lord Kitchener reports the

CUBA'S POSTAL BUSINESS.
Report Of Director General FOsnes-
Receipts Below Expenses.

WASHINGTON. April 16.-The postal ad-
ministration of Cuba. according to a report
Postmaster General Payne to-day received
from Director General OF Posts Fosnes
covering the first half of the current fiscal
year, is in a healthy condition and estab-
lished firmly on a basis OF permanent sue
cess. The report shows that the revenues
of the Postal Department of Cuba are
maintaining a remarkably close approXima-
ton to $1,000 a day.
The total receipts from all sources during
the six months were $751;, rs; average daily
receipts. $9SS. These receipts were mostly
from stamp sales, which aggregated $l67,-
SIS during the half-year. The expenses We're
500, lO3, or at the rate of S40l.4O6 a year
However. there Will accrue for payment
during the latter half of this year trans
portation expenses. chiefly for foreign serv-
ice, a~gSregating $4,000. The annual outlay
for the Cuban postal service, therefore,
has been brought well within an estimated
rate of $420 600, a decrease Of $S4.2S5 from
the previous fiscal year. The expenditures
still overrun the revenues by $4,000, or
about Is per cent.
There are 76 persons on the postal pay
rolls, including star-route contractors.
Thirty-three employees are Americans.
American employees, however, are resignlng
and the service is becoming more COM
pletely Cubanized. Except for the Amer
lean postmaster at Santiago, the service
outside of Havana already is wholly in the
hands Of the Cubans.
the salaries OF the postmasters consti-
tute % per cent. of the expenses. The les
son found hardest 10 teach the Cubans is
the relation of pOstmasters' salaries to the
business of the office. Cuban merchants
lied IL profitable to carry postage stamps
as merchandise by buying them with Amer
lean money and selling them at a retail
price for Spanish money. Such stamps fire.
quently are ordered from Havana or other
large towns as part of the general orders
for goods, thus deranging the normal Oper-
alton of supply and demand for postage
within a community itself.
Director General FOsnes says he expects
TO leave every postmaster in Cuba under
bond when the United States retires from
the island next month. There has been a
notable increase in mOney-Order business
between the United States and Cuba. The
average money order is $31. against an
average of s. in the United States. Cuban
money orders paid in the United States
during the six months aggregated $42S, 526,
and those payable in Cuba, but issued in
the United States, aggregated $S5.4S1. THE
postal money order service of Cuba" the
report concludes. can reach its Legitimate
measure OF usefulness and popularity only
on the basis of one uniform circulating
money medium. The present standard is
American money, while Spanish coins of
different and fiuctuating values circulate
