Manila. May 23.-The Filipino CON-
missioners, who arrived here Saturday
to negotiate with the United states
commissioners. held a conference TINS
morning with Messrs. Schurmann,
Worcester and DENLY. They say they
are without any power TO bind the So
called Filipino government in any par
ticular. and ear oriy refer any results
OF the present negotiations To Aguln-
aldo.
The Filipino commissioners. Gen.
Gregorio del Pillar. Lieut.. Col. Alberto

bers of the local Filipino assembly,
who will participate in the meetings
with the American commissioners.
Senior Torres was a member or Aguln-
aldo's cabinet before the wax He OPP
poses independence and fayors auton-
omy. He has been foremost in per-
suading the Filipinos TO accept SOW
e~reignty. He is doing the burden or
the talk of the Filipinos, and 1t Is
thought the terms they wish for Is an
Amerisan protectorate, which they
talked of before the war. Senior Pa
terno. who has succeeded the irrecon-
cilable Membrino in the so-celled Fill
pino cabinet. is a scholar and a states
man. He is in favor of autonomy. lie
drew up q
scheme of Autonomy
with the Spaniards which the latter
repudiated. Palermo is now the strong
man in Aguinaldo's party. All the
money leaders of the insurgents see
that independence is hopeless and
wish for peace. There are those who
want money, thinking they can hold
ont longer and harrass the Americans.
On the suggestion of Mr.. Schurmann,
president of the American commission,
the local members of the Filipino peace
party have started a newspaper.
Maj. Kobbe's expedition 10 occupy
communication with Gen. Lawton, has
occupied Arayat, about seven miles be-
yond Candida. on the Rio Grande,
following the course of the stream. No
insurgents were found there and the
Pampangas along the river are friend
~. Last Friday Maj. Kobbe took
Snata Ana, about six miles northeast
of San Fernando, on the road to San
Isidro. A priest met the expedition
with a white flag. Delegations from
San Nicolas and Santiago, small vii
lagos just south OF Arayat. came TO
him with the news that 900 insurgents
who had been holding both places had
withdrawn. They invited the Ameri-
cans to enter. and as the members of
the expedition marched in the church
bells were rung and the timid natives
who had fed iocked back.

ALL DIFFERENCES ADJUSTED.
The Anacostin and Potomac RaiIra,
Not To H. Sold

The sale of the franchise and property
of the Anacostia and Potomac Railway
Company, which has been for some time
advertised, will not take place An order
countermanding the sale was issued yes-
terday by Justice Bradley in connection
with the suit of Elizabeth X. Riley against
that road.
The petition for the withdrawal Of the
notice OF sale was filed by Frederick C.
Stevens, Oscar T. Crosby and Charles A.
Lieb, who state that they have obtained
control and ownership of nearly all the
bonds OF the Anacostia and Potomac Rail-
road Company, secured by "A deed of trust
under which Charles a. James and Charles
Z. Glover, trustees, have been advertis-
ing the road and property for sale The
exception was explained to be 81 900 var
value, which it was added, will be Sc
cured as soon as the same can lie found
The petitioners also state that they have
obtained ownership and control If all
bonds of the railroad company secured ty
the second and third deeds of trust, except
very small portion, for which they are
now negotiating. They also control. they
say, the other claims so that there Ii nO
one now insisting upon sale OF the Dad
and property, and no one that will CT can
do SO outside Of the petitioners.
The petitioners state in conclusion that
the differences heretofore existing be
tween them as the holders of the sccuri-
ties and the railroad company have been
| adjusted, and therefore il is no longer
| desired that the sale be held.

yesterday The report shows a decided de-
crease in the general weekly death rate, al
though the deaths from grip We're three

fact that, while the death rate among the

effect on the colored people Of the Dis
trict. The deaths of colored people from
this maIady have been few, about one
third the total number of fatal grip cases.
