F1IipInos stin Continue.
Washington, May 1.-The following
advices have been received at the war
department from Manila, under date
Of April 30:
While it is the general expectation
among Americans that the Filipino
emissaries will return with revised
proposals from General Antonio Luna,
Major-General Otis is not letting this
prospect interfere with his prepar-
ations for pushing the war. Yester-
day he ordered Major-General Lawton
10 return to Angat, few miles north
west of Norzagaray, and not to advance
aggressively while the negotiations
are pending. General Macarthur is
apparently acting on the same policy,
but he is repairing bridges and
strengthening the lines of his force,
which is stretched out with four mile
front and within quarter of mile Of
the enemy.
The possibilities Of peace are crafty
Ing to a great majority Of the army,
who have regarded the war as an un-
pleasant duty that must be performed
according TO American traditions. Ma
Mia is cheerful over the prospects Of a
return to normal life, though there
are skeptics who remark that a truce
would enable the insurgents to rest
until the rainy season, upon which
they have been depending as an i'm
portant aid.
