Manila. May 1.-whiie II is the gen.
era expectation among Americans that
the Filipino emissaries will return with
revised proposals from General Luna.
Major General Otis Is not letting this
prospect interfere with his preparations
for pushing the war. Saturday he or
dered Major General Lawton TO return
TO Angat, few miles northwest OF Nor
xagaray. and not to advance aggres-
sively while the negotiations are pend
ing. General Macarthur Is apparently
acting on the same policy: but he Is

lines of his force, which is stretched out
with a four-mile front. and within a
quarter OF mile of the enemy
The possibilities of peace are crafty
ing to a large majority OF the army. who
have regarded the war as an unpleasant
duty that must be performed according
10 American traditions.
Manila Is cheerful over the prospect
Of return TO normal life, though there
are sceptics who remark that a truce
would enable the insurgents TO rest until
the rainy season, upon which they have
been depending as an important aid.
The prisoners report that there are
$4,000 refugees north OF San Fernando.
This is not impossible, considering the
thlckly populated region which the
Americans have cleared. II seems also
that smallpox is spreading among them.
When Dean Worcester. OF the United
States Philippine commission, who ac-
companied the Filipino emissaries from
Calumpt. said 10 Colonel Manuel Ar
guelles that the Americans were under
no obligation TO refrain from fighting.
the Filipino officer replied: Would
you fight while We are discussing terms
Of peace?
Mr. Worcester responded with the sug-
gestion that an armistice would give the
Filipino leaders time to escape.
Where would We escape to?" the Fill
ipino exclaimed, referring In this to the
menacing hostile tribes behind the Fill
ipino tribes.
Colonel Arguelles said that he was
much disappointed I'm the results of his
mission. He said also that Aguinaldo

Emperor William Not So Rabid as
Many of His Politicians.
London. May 1.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of The Times says; Emperor
William has once more shown how en-
tirely his most generous impulses are
made to subserve the aims OF state pol
icy, and how far his ideas of foreign
policy are exalted above the petty
rancors of an influential section of the
German press. 1t ought to be noted
that the kilograms between Emperor
William and President Mckinley re-
garding tho German cable were both
published in the original English text.
On the very eve of the kaiser's telegram
certain papers published dispatch from
New York. declaring that Captain Cogh-
lan's dismissal was Nnder consideration.
but that DR.. Won Holleben did not in
sist upon it,"
The truth is that many OF those who
make the most noise in German foreign
politics do not in the least realize the
necessities Of the situation. Germany
has become deeply committed to a policy
OF commercial rivalry with Great Brit
ain and the United States, and in au-
thoritative quarters IL is considered i'm
perative that. in the meantime at least,
Germany should maintain political
with those two powers.
The Berliner Post, pointing this out.
says that what Germany needs is a res
pite in order TO develope her naval
power, and 10 shape policy -nith n
view to ultimate. IL still remote, ad-
vantages.

Much attention is given TO the charges
concerning the canned roast beef and IL
is stated that the testimony proves IL to
have been wholesome and nutritious
where used in moderation and under
favorable circumstances. The position
is taken that too much OF this article OF
food was supplied to the men, and that
under the circumstances il was un-
palatable and found undesirable as a
continuous ration.
The fact is set forth that the canned
roast beef had not been used TO any ap-
preciable extent before the beginning OF
this wtr, and II is therefore regarded as
a practically untried ration. In view OF
this fact the commissary general of sub
sistence is roundly criticised for the pur-
chase OF the meat in such extensive
quantities. As 70 the character OF the
meat for wholesomeness and nutrition
the reports OF Professors Attwater and
Chittenden are quoted at length. sus-
tanning the claims in this respect. The
instructions Of the president are followed
closely and all the points indicated by
him as being those upon which he desired
that inquiry should be made ara covered.
meat was not "doctored;" that il was the
beef of commerce.; that there was no
more neglect than was incident TO the
hurried preparation for the war: that the
inspection. while generally according 10
regulations, was not always up to the
requirements, and that the sickness OF
the troops was not to any great degree
occasioned by the use OF either the
canned or the refrigerated beef.
On the other hand IL is found that Cen
eral Miles himself did not report during
the war that the beef. either refriger-
ated or canned. was unfit as a ration.
Other officers who gave their testimony
before the court are found also TO have
neglected what the court concelves TO
have been their duty In this respect and
all are blamed for this failure.
But the court does not think further
proceedings necessary.
