Gen. del Pi lar said: "The Insurgents are anxious to sur-
render, but want the assurance fir-! that there will be no put t ing to death of the lenders in the rebellion, and nome proof tha t the Americans will carry out tho generous s ta tements made In their proclamation. We have been acquainted with the Americans only a short lime. If they are sin-cere, we will agree to unconditlcnaHy surrender ."
" In negotiat ions entered Into with authorized Spanish otllcers in the pre-vious rebellion similar promises were made, but not carried out. Ruiz and o thers were put to death. In spite of these promises.
"If we give up our a rms we are at the complete mercy of the Americans. We realize the hopelessness of a Fili-pino republic, for the people are now impoverished and a continuance of hos-til i t ies would only increase the suffer-ing."

Babylon was the paradise af archi-tecture, and driven out from thence •ho grandest buildings of modern times
e only the evidence of her fall. The te having been selected for the city,
two million men were employed In the rearing of her walls and the building of her work*, li was a city sixty miles In circumference. There was a trench nil around tho city, from which the ma-terial for the building of the city had born digged. There were twenty-five gates on each side of the city; between every two gates a tower of defense springing into the skies; f rom each gate on the one side a street running straight through to the corresponding gate on the other side, so t ha t there were fifty streets fifteen miles long. Through the city ran a branch of the river Euphrates. This r iver some-times overflowed its banks, and to keep It from ruining the city, a lake was constructed into which the surplus water of the river would r u n dur ing <he time of freshets, and the water was kept In this artificial lake until time of drought, and then th i s water would stream down over the city. At either end of the bridge spanning this Euphrates there was a palace—the one palace a mile and a half a round, the other palace seven and a half miles around.
The wife of Nebuchadnezzar had been born and brought up In the coun-try, nnd in a mountainous region, nnd she could not bear this flat district of Babylon: and so, to p 'ease bis wife, Nebuchadnezzar built In the midst of the city a mountain four hundred feet high. This mountain was built out Into terraces, supported on arches. On the top of these arches a layer of flat stones, on the top of tha t a layer of reeds and bitumen, on the top of t ha t two layers of bricks closely cemented, on the top of that a heavy sheet of lead, and cn the top of t ha t the soil placed—the soil so deep tha t a Lebanon cedar had room to anchor Its roots. There were pumps worked by mighty machinery fetching up the water f rom the Euphrates to this hanging garden, as It was called, so tha t there were fountains spouting InUj the sky. Stand-ing below and lookingi ip It must have ceemed as If the clouds were In blos-som. or as though the eky leaned on the shoulder of a cedar. All this Nebuchadnezzar did to please his wife. Well, she ought to have been pleased. I suppose she was pleased. If t ha t would not please her, no th ing would. There was la that city a lso the temple of Belus, with towers—one tower the eighth of a mile high. In which there was an observatory where as t rono-mers talked to the s tars . There was In that temple an image. Just one im-age, which would cost w h a t would be our fifty-two million dollars .
Oh, what a ci ty! The ear th never saw anyth ing like It, never will see anyth ing like It. And yet I have to tell you that It is going to be destroyed. The king and his pr inces are a t a feast . They are all Intoxicated. Pour out the rich wine Into the chalices! Drink to the health of the k ing! Drink to the glory of Babylon! Drink to a grea t fn ture ! A thousand lords reel intoxicated. The king seated upon a chair , with vacant look, as Intoxicated men will—with vacan t look stared a t the wall. But soon t h a t vacant look takes on Intensity, and it Is an a f -f r ighted look; and all t he princes be-gin to look nnd wonder wha t is t he maUer,and they look a t t he same point on the wall. And then there drops a darkness into the room, tha t puts out the blaze of the golden plate, and out of the sleeve of the darkness there comes a finger—a finger of fiery te r -ror circling around and circling around a s though It would wr i te ; and then It comes up and with s h a r p t ip of flame i t inscribes on the p las ter ing of the wall the doom of the k ing: "Weighed in the balances, and found want ing . " The bang of heavy fists aga ins t t he gates of the palace Is followed by the breaking In of the doors. A t h j j i s a a d gleaming knives s t r ike Into a thou-sand quivering hearts. Now Death Is king, and he Is seated on a th rone of corpses, in that hall there Is a bal-ance lifted. God swung I t On one side of the balance a re put Belshaz-sar ' s opportunities, on the other side of the balance are put Belshazzar 's t ins . The sins come down. His op-portunities go up. Weighed In the balances—found wanting.
There has been a great deal of cheating In our country with false weights and measures and balances, and the government, to change t ha t s ta te of things, appointed commission-ers whose business it was to s t amp weights and measures and balances, and a great deal of the wrong has been corrected. But still, after all. there Is no such thing as a perfect balance on ear th . The chain may break, or some of the metal may be clipped, or In some way the equipoise may be dis-turbed. You can not always depend upon earthly balances. A pound Is not always a pound and you may pay for one thing and get another; but In the balance which Is suspended to the throne of God. a pound Is a pound and right Is right, and wrong is wrong and a soul is a soul, and eternity Is eternity. God has a perfect bushel, and a perfect peck, and a perfect gal-lon. When merchants weigh their goods In the wrong way, then the Lord weighs the £OOds again. If f rom the Imperfect measure the merchant pours out what pretends to be a gallcn of oil,
God
knows It, and calls upon his recordlns angel to mark It: "So much wanting In that measure of oil." The farmer comes In from the country . He has apples to sell. He has an Imperfect measure. He pours c u t the apples from his Imperfect measure. God reg-ognlees It. He says to the recording angel : "Mark down so many apples too few—an Imperfcct measure." We may cheat ounelves , and we may cheat tho world, but we cannot cheat God, and In the great day of Judgment It will be found out that what we learned In boyhood at school 1ft correct ; tha t twenty hundredweight makes a ton, and one hundred and twenty solid feet makes a cord of wood. No more, no loss, and a religion which docs not take hold of this life, as well as the life to come. Is no religion at a ' l .
But, my friends, that Is not the style of bnlances I nm to speak of today, that Is not the kind of weights and measures. I am to speak of that kind of balances which weigh principles, weigh churches, weigh men. weigh na-tions and weigh worlds. " W h a t ! " you say; "Is It possible that our world Is to be weighed?" Yes. Why, you would think If God put on one side of the balances suspended from the th rone the Alps and the Pyrenees and the Himalayas and Mount Washlngton.and all the cities of the ear th , they would crush It. No! No! The time will come when God will sit down on the white throne to see the world weigh-ed, nnd on one side will be the world's opportunities, and on the other side the world's sins. Down will go the sins, and away will go the oportunl-tles. and God will say to the messen-gers with the torch: "Burn t h a t world! weighed and found w a n t i n g ! "
So God will weigh churches. He takes a great church. Tha t church, great according to the worldly es t i -mate, must be weighed. He puts It on one side the balances, and the minis ter and the choir, and the building tha t cost Its hundreds of thousands of dol-lars. He puts them on one side the balances. On the other side of the scale he puts what that church ought to be, what Its consccratlon ought to be, w h i t Its sympathy far the poor
ught to be, what Its devotion to all good ought to be. Tha t Is on one side. That side comes down, and the church, not being able to stand the test, r ises In the balances. I t does not make any difference about your magnificent ma-chinery. A church Is built f c r one thing—to save souls. If It saves a few souls when It might save a mul t i -tude of souls, God will spew It out of his mouth! Weighed and found wan t -ing!
So we perceive t ha t God es t imates nat ions. How many times he has put the Spanish monarchy Into the scales, and found It Insufficient, and condemn-ed It! The French empire was placed on one side of the scales, and God weighed the French empire and Na-peoleon said: "Have I not enlarged the boulevards? Did I not kindle the glories of the Champs E'.ysees? Have I not adorned the Tullerles? H a v e I not built the glided opera house?" Then God weighed the nation, and he put on one side the scales the emperor and the boulevards, and the Tuller les and the Champs Elysees, and the glid-ed opera house, and on the other side he puts t h a t man 's abominat ions , t ha t man 's l ibert inism, tha t man ' s sel-fishness, tha t man ' s godless ambit ion. Th is last came down, and all the bril-liancy of the scene vanished. W h a t Is t ha t voice coming up f rom Sedan? Weighed and found want ing!
Still the balances are suspended. Are there any o thers who would llKe to be weighed, or who will be weighed? Yes; here comes a worldling. He gets in to the scales. I can very easily see what h is whole life Is made up of. Stocks, dividends, percentages, "buyer ten days ," "buyer thir ty days ," "Get In, my fr iend, get Into these balances and be weighed—weighed for this life, and weighed fo r the life to come." He gets In. I find tha t the two great quest ions In h is life a re : "How cheap-ly can I buy these goods?" and "How dearly can I sell t hem?" I find he ad-mires heaven because It Is a land of gold, and money must be "easy." 1 find f rom t a lk ing with him, tha t re-ligion and the Sabbath are an Inter-ruption, a vulgar Interruption, and he hopes on the way to church to drum up a new cus tomer! All the week he has been weighing frui ts , weighing meats, weighing Ice, weighing coals, weighing confections, weighing world-ly rind perishable commodities, n^ t realizing the fact that he himself has been weighed. "On your side the bal-" ances, O worldling! I will give you ful l advantage . I put on your side all the banking-houses, all the store-houses, all the cargoes, all the Insur-ance companies,, all the factories, all the silver, al l the gold, all the money vaults , al l the safe deposits—all on your side. But it does not add one ounce, fo r a t t he very moment we a re congra tu la t ing you on your fine house and upon your princely Income, God and the ange ls are wri t ing In regard to your soul : 'Weighed and found
w a n t i n g ! ' " Bu t I mus t go fas ter and speak of
the final scrutiny. The fact Is, m> fr iends, we are moving on amid as-tounding realities. These pulses which now a re d r u m m i n g the march of life may, a f t e r a while, call a halt . We wi«,lk on a ha i r -hung bridge over chasms. All around us a re dangers lurking, ready to spr ing on us f rom ambush. We He down a t night , no t knowing whether we shal l arise in t a e morning. We s tar t out for occupations, not knowing whether we shall come back. Crowns being burnished for thy brow, or bolts forged fo r thy prison. Angels of l ight ready to shout a t thy deliverance, or fiends of da rkness s t re tching out skeleton hands to pull thee down Into ruin consummate!
If come one chou'd ccmo nnd put onj the o the r side the scales nil your Im-perfections, all your envies, all your jealousies, all your Inconsistencies of life, they would not budge the scales with Chris t on your side the scales. Go f ree! There Is no coftdemnntlon t o them tha t arc In Chr i s t Jesus. Chains broken, prison houses opened, s ins pardoned. Go f ree ! Weighed In t h e balances, nnd nothing, no th ing wanted. Oh! what a glorious hope! Will y m ^ accept It this day? Chr is t making up for wha t you lack. Chris t the a tone-ment for all your sins. W h o will ac-cept h im? Will not this whole au -dience say, "I nm Insufficient, I am a sinner, I am lost by reason of t r a U * gresslons, but Chr is t has paid It al l . My Lord, and my God, my life, my pa r -don, n y heaven. Lord Jesus, I hall t hee !" Oh, If you could only under-stand tho worth oi t ha t sacrlllce which I have represented to you under a fig-ure If you could unders tand the wor th of tha t sacrifice, th i s whole audience would this moment accept Christ nnd be saved.
We go away oh, o r back Into his-tory, to get gome I l lustrat ion by which wc may set forth what Christ has done for us. We need not go so fnr. I saw a vehicle behind a runaway horse dashing through tho street , a mothe r and her two children In tho carriage. The horse dashed along as though to hurl them to death, and a mounted po-liceman, with a shou t clearing the way, and the horse a t ful l run , a t tempteo to seize those runaway horses to save a calamity, when his own h o n e fell and rolled over h im. He was picked up half dead. W h y were our sympa-thies so s t i r red? Because he was bad-ly hurt , nnd hu r t for others . But I tell ' you today of how Christ , lh« Son of God, on the blood-red horse cf sacri-fice, came for ou r rescue, and rede down the sky, and rode u n t o death for our rescue. Are not your hea r t s touched? Tha t was a sac-rifice for you and me. O thou who didst ride on the red horse of sacrifice! como and ride through this world on the whi te horse of v ic tory!

Music at meals is new the th ing IK the metropolis. The craze Is still very young, yet It h a s spread all over the town, and looks as If It had to stay. Not long since a cer tain res tauran t of the Pchemlan class not f a r f rom r o u r -teenth street encouraged a couple of I t inerant per formers on the gui ta r and mandolin to come around two or three evenings In the week and help en te r -ta in the guests.

When any of the la t te r happened to. be well-known airs, guests around tho tables were not slow to join In the re-f ra in , and as the evening progressed one may well Imagine tha t t he musi* clans, whose pay was mostly gathered f rom their happy hearers, were not slow to select such pieces as had a singable chorus. There was f requent ly a number of persons at the tables with good voices, and the audible result by no means to be despised. The large hotels, a lmost wi thout exception, em-ploy orchestras ranging In number f rom four t o ten men. One of the mose prominent of these places es tab-lished an a f te rnoon tea service a year or so ago, and the tea dr inkers and muffin eaters beguiled an hour l isten-ing to the yodellng of a blue and white clad Tyrolean quar te t , or the gui ta rs and mandolins of a g r o u p of Neapol-i tans at t ired In spotless whi te t rous-ers, with gorgeous and voluminous sashes.

T H E I N F A L L I B L E MAN.
The man who never makes mistakes Is never popular;
His cnrse.l inlallibility
To friendship is a bur.
I t 's maddening when things gu wrong,
To hear him calmly say,
"You might have known you'd botch it when You went to work that way!"
The mnn who never makes mistakes is numerous, alas!
His chief delight is to adnpre
His ima^e in the glass. For lhos«) who try, but fail, he has
No sympathy at all,
And bvtrybody scowls at him
And hopes to see him fall.
The man who never makes mistakes Is a confounded bore!
He never would be missed if we Should never fee him more.
The feeling at his funeral
Would be relief sincere,
And no one on his weed-grown grave
Would ever shed a tear.

I l ia cool app rop r i a t i on of ou r millions w-na a ser ious e n o u g h offenae, w i t h o u t t hc g rn t i i i lous insu l t t o the girl 1 In-tended t o m a r r y . I s tepped in f r o n t of t h c fellow nnd looked him over. Then I said:
" T h i s lady, sir , is Senori ta de Garmn. only daugh t e r of his excellency. Col. De G n n n a . gobc rnadc r of the Ladrones. I supposed f r o m y o u r co lo rs t h a t you were a Germnn, but I 'm ashamed to see t ha t you enme from my own conn , t ry . Yon will doubt less see fit to apol-ogize to the lady at once."
The man 's cold, fishy eyes met mine fo r a second or t w o before he spoke; he seemed to be sizing me up. Finally he drnwled o u t :
"Waal , pe rhaps I w a r a leetle hasty . I d u n n o who you mought be. s t ranger , b u t y e r kin tell t h u r i e d d y I didn' t mean no offense; w immin ' s a good deal alike ou t here 'n t h u r islands, an ' I d idn ' t j edge he r r i g h t , t h a t ' s all. But about tho t t h a r coppera ; I wont a ca rgo of it, a n ' I ' m will in ' t e r pay er f a ' r price. I'll give t h e gobernador fou r dollars more'n t h u r Manila ra te , an ' he kin pocket t hu r d i f fe rence ; but I don ' t cai ' la te t e r leave A p r a wi thout Its"
' T i n a f ra id you' l l have to. I happen ' to know tbe s tuff is wor th a good deal m o r e than the price you name; and, 1 r a t h e r than let you have it, I 'll buy i t myself on specula t ion."
"Oh, ye will! What ' s ter purvent my i l a y l n ' down m y money here on t h u -sand an ' te l l in ' my men te r put it a b o a r d ? I reckon you an ' tha t dago nin ' t goin' t e r s top me."
" T h a t ' s where you make another mis- . t a k e . Senor Legaape sent for the gob- I e f n a d o r an h o u r ago, and he'll be here wi th the officers of his staff very short- I ly . In the meant ime, if you or your m e n lay a finger on those bags. I'll shoot you wi thou t a second's warning." (1 was playing fo r millions, and I meant w h a t 1 said.) "More than that , as you have grossly insulted the senorita, I'll kill you if you s tay another five min- j u t e s on shore ."
I thought t h e m a n would have a fit of apoplexy: even his vast store of deep- | ten profani ty failed him for the mo- , m e n t . His crew were Germans, but , enough of t h e m understood Engl ish to I keep the r u n of w h a t was going-on. and | I could see they were r a t h e r en joying t h e s i t u a t i o n ; evidently the sk ipper was a thorough b r u t e a t sea. He was speechless wi th rage ; bu t . as I had the advantage of h im. the re was no th ing to do bu t pull off t o his schooner and sai l away. She was j u s t s tanding out past Orote when the ca r romata jolted u p with the colonel and his two lieu-tenants . Dorotea saw tha t Legaspe waa likely ' o get a wigg ing fo r allowing t h e visitors to leave before her fatBer t a w them, aud shrewdly put an entire-ly different l ight upon I h e n f f a i r b y say-ing—in Engl ish , fo r my benefi t :
"Pad re mio, yon the Senor Enrique mus t t hank fo r p ro tec t ing me at the r isk of his l ife. Un b r u t o capita no did land f r o m la goleta and did o rde r b is men to t a k e away the copra, te l l ing t h e Senor Lepaspe that he would pay b n t a mere n o t h i n g ; and when I did say tha t he could not have it . he in-sulted me. Then t h e Senor Enr ique did give <him five minu tes to go away before he killed him. though the b ru to did have seven men f r o m his goleta ."
Well, t h a t set t led the s t ranger , and made me t h e b igges t man on the is-land. T h e gobernador 'e r i gh t a r m went over my shoulder , and his lef t under m y r igh t , in a twinkling-; then, a f t e r t h r e e pa t s on the small of m y back and a m o m e n t or t w o of ecstat ic silence, he reversed the a rms , left over my r igh t shoulder , etc., t h ree more puts, m o r e silence, kisses on both my cheeks, t hen an endless s t r i n g of ex-t r avagan t p ro t e s t a t i ons concerning his l ife-long obl igat ion to me . I had seen the t h i n g done many t imes before among people of the Lat in races, b u t being kiKsed by a man was, to say the least, a novelty. Even Legaspe ex-pressed himself in exaggera ted t e rms concern ing the way in which I had called t h e cap ta in ' s h a n d ; and, as n o ment ion wos made of h is supposed mistake, he was ou r r e r y humble serv-an t . Lest o the r dangers of a s imilar n a t u r e should th rea ten it . however, Dorotea ment ioned to he r f a the r Hal-s tead 's nssnmed in tent ion of buy ing the copra ut a h igh figure, on specula-tion, and suggested the advisabil i ty of placing a guard over i t at n igh t . The colonel 's cupidi ty was aroused, and the guard was se t ; but , owing to Br ' e r Miguel 's ghos t ly influence, the most he could m a k e h i s men do was to pa-trol t h e shore each n igh t in a proa . As i t w a s likely to be a th ree -months ' job, t he soidicra didn ' t relish th is ; bu t they had to obey orders .
I t w a s the 6tb of May when we came so nea r losing the copra. On the th i rd m o r n i n g a f t e r Halstead was to appear , if every th ing had gone r igh t with h i m ; nnd a s the t ime approached I became s t range ly apprehensive—so much so t h a t I found it difficult to main ta in an air of carelcsn c-nse. In fact , had it no t been f o r Dorotea, I might have be-t r a y e d my rea l i n t e r e s t in Gna jnn a dozen t imes . B u t wi th each day t ha t passed it became more evident t h a t I had no rival in he r hear t . Somet imes she would speak wi th dread of Hal-s tead ' s r e tu rn , and breathlessly nsk me t o promise t ha t I would surely visit them in Granada the fol lowing spr ing . Still, J u l y was ye t so f a r away t h a t my d e p a r t u r e seemed only a dim pos-aibility t ^ h e r — a someth ing which she m u s t not even th ink about .
