GEN. OTIS GIVES PEACE

! them, and the people are ready to give
up the fight.
AS to the emissaries who have been
sent by General Luna, my opinion is
that they desire to gain time. They
, say that they wish to submit the ques-
tion of continuing the war or not to
their congress, meeting in May. These
leaders think that they represent the
Filipino people.
I answered that I would be glad to
receive emissaries from the insurgent
chiefs, provided they came with a
proposition for absolute surrender.

The emissaries would not agree to
! this, as they thought it contrary to
the dictates of honor. The emissaries
added that if peace were forced upon
them it would not be permanent"

WAR OFFICIALS ARE PLEASED
Say General Otis Is Pursuing the
Right Course.

Washington. April 29.-The war de-
partment officials are vry much graft
fed with the tone of the reply of Ger
eral Otis to the Filipino delegation. 1t
is considered as COMFORTING with the
dignity OF the United States. 1t would
not be possible for the United States
to recognize the existence of the Fill
pino congress or the Filipino govern
mer* 1t is believed that when Cen
eral Otis reply is communicated to the
Filipino commanders that they will ask
another conference with the exDecta-
tion Of arranging favorable terms of
peace.
1t is said at the war department
that it is not likely that any further
concessions than that of general am
nesty will be made. Peace and free
dom, it is believed, viii appeal more
strongly to the Filipino army than any
argument Aguinaldo and his officers
may make. Meantime it is the belief
of the officials at the war department
that if the Filipino generals unduly
protract the negotiations wholesale de-
sertions on the part of their men are
looked for.
General Lawton is expected to con-
tlnue his movement toward joining
forces with Macarthur according TO the
original programme as soon as his SOL
diers have recovered from the strain
of their forced march through the iur-
gle and this junction probably will he
effected by Tuesday of next week at
the latest. If by that day the insur
gents have not laid down their arms
the American forces at the front will he
strong enough to resume the campaign
with great vigor and to tpress forward
along the line of the railroad northward
even as far as San Fernando, the latest
capital of the insurgents.

to the mine in a body and drive out
the 30 non-union men employed there.
The railroad agent has notified the
governor of Idaho of the situation, and
the secretary of state has been dis

The governor has promised to do
everything in his power to preserve or
der and prevent bloodshed. but it is
oelleVed that unless prompt steps are
taken, there will be great loss of life
and destruction of property.
Since the telegram from the agent
was received. the strikers haze cut the
WIres. and telegraphic communication
with Wardner is now cut off
The present strike in the Coeur
dAlene mining district in northern
Idaho was inaugurated about ten days
ago, and is directed principally against
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine at
Wardner, where non-union men are
employed. The demands of the min
ers for increased wages were met by
mineowners. but the miners demanded
that the union be recognized. and that
non union men be discharged.
This the mineowners refused to do.
and the Last Chance mine closed down.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan. how
ever, continued to run with non-union
men until today, when they were driv-
en- out by an armed mob of union men.

officers telephoned for help. The sher-
iff and his deputies, together with a
number of the city officers, were pre-
pairing to go at 3 o'clock this morning.
The desperadoes are not mounted. The
second holdup occurred in Willard, the
first in Bingham. At least twenty-five
shots were exchanged, but owing to the
darkness, probably none of the sheriff's
people were hit, and it is not believed
either of the robbers was.
Manager Hirt OF Hot Springs is as
sisting the Box Elder sheriff.
Captain Brown of the ogden police
force, Sheriff Layne and Deputy Bailey
