nephew's farm to-day he was struck by
a flying piece of wood and knocked
senseless. When he recovered he SEEM

his true conditions and surroundings
for the first time since he was wounded

Told of the wonderful inventions in

Recognize That the Fight Is
Hopeless One-An Amer
lean Protectorate.

Manila. May %, II a. m.--The Flip
inc commissioners who arrived here on
Saturday to negotiate with the United
States commissioners had confer
ence this morning with Messrs. Schur-
mann, Worcester and DENLY. They
say that they are without power to
bind the so-called Filipino government
in any particular and can only refer
any results of the present negotiations
to Aguinaldo.

ers, General Gregori del Pillar, Lieu
tenant Colonel Alberto Barreto, Major
Zealta and Senior Gracio Coinage,
with their families, spent to-day in
visiting friends in Manila. and con-
ferred with Senores Fioriento Torres,
Pablo Ocampo and Theodore Yanco,
the members of the local Filipino asso-
citation, who will participate in the
meetings with the American commits
sioners. Senior Torres was member
of Agunaldo's commission before the
war; He opposes independence and
favors autonomy, and he has been most
influential in persuading the followers
of Aguinaldo to make the present adj
vances.
Autonomy is the burden of the talk
of the Fiipinos and it is thought that
the kind they wish for would be little
different from the scheme of an
American protectorate which they
talked of before the war.
Senior Palermo, who has succeeded the
irreconcilable Mabini as president OF
the Filipino so-called cabinet, is stu
dent and a writer of ability. He once
drew up a plan of autonomy under
hSr1, hn
promised to adopt, there then being a
terribly troublesome rebellion on foot.
The American commissioners, in study
ing the question of the Filipino gov
eminent, have found several good
points in this scheme. Palermo is now
the strong man in Aguinaldos party.
All the moneyed leaders of the in
surrection see that it is hopeless and
are anxious for peace. Those who
want money think they may profit. by
